Destructoid: I've always been a big Mega Man fan. As I type this, a figurine of series villainess Tron Bonne (see: mai waifu) is currently watching over me. There's just something very unique about the series -- the idea of not only defeating one's enemies but also stealing their powers is something that always struck me as very, very cool.
Thing is, it was once very easy to love Mega Man, when series developer Capcom was churning out a never-ending procession of adventures starring the Blue Bomber. As Ben Franklin famously said, "Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and Mega Man sequels." Though not every one of these outings was a winner (those Battle Network games really started to suck after a while), the number of classics more than made up for the clunkers, and fans like myself always had a new Mega Man game to look forward to.
"I feel like GameChat was made just for Resident Evil'
Capcom announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year 2025, between April and December.
who knew making great games and not trying to be greedy could equal to getting gamers support
Capcom has become my flagship publisher for gaming quality. Nearly every single game they release has my respect.
Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.
Actions speak louder than words. Show me a new Mega Man game that isn't a collection of games I played yesteryear. If they can churn out some kind of RE game every other year they can make a new Mega Man entry. It's not like it's known for its deep stories.
I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.
If they make the right choices and right kinds of games, the Mega-Man IP could potentially be made into an animated film or streaming series like the success of Mario and Sonic. Surely that thought may have crossed their minds? Or am I being silly? I mean there is a lot more water to go under the bridge for them to even start considering that. But I used to be a big mega-man fan back in the day. I'd love to see it happen.
It’s being done on purpose just to destroy inafune . It’s some pride stuff on the inside .
Just like the guys said . I’ll believe it when I see it . Even the shareholders are asking questions regarding Megaman . I don’t want to sound ludacris but I have a strong conviction that the heads at Capcom are purposely holding the Megaman IP down because of their grudge and spite towards inafune on some deeper Japanese honour code stuff . It’s deeper than we think . You can tell something isn’t right .
Well i hope DMC is being worked on. Either a remake of 1 or 6 will do.
And bring back Megaman X. Either regular, command mission or make it a Metroidvania since silksong is so popular.
there so selfish, megaman has unlimited potential gives the right developers. how about give the megam ip to the developers who made vanquish?
Mega Man is an old franchise. As we have seen with Capcom, they like to "reboot" things. Whether it be a full-on reboot like DmC, or a reboot in genre like RE, we've seen that Capcom have seemingly run out of original ideas and have decided that everything needs a new, and Western, twist to it. This is thanks, in no small part, to Keiji Inafune not knowing when to shut his mouth up about things he clearly doesn't understand. Because Mega Man is an old, and HIGHLY beloved, iconic franchise; it wouldn't take to the kind of reboots and Westernization that Capcom has been pulling lately. At least, not with the fans.
A Mega Man FPS is a very bad idea because it would strip the game of that classic Mega Man feel much in the same way most of the 3D Castlevania games did for that franchise. There is also the issue of DLC, wherein Capcom couldn't legitimately do too much with DLC for Mega Man. If they tried to make powers DLC, the uproar would be heard in space as powers are a basic mechanic for Mega Man. If they tried to make characters DLC, then they'd either have to make them brand new characters, risking the "who the hell is this" question from fans; or make them characters like Zero which would make fans ask why he can't be played in the game from the get go like so many of the Mega Man X games.
Legends is seen as a spin off that Capcom feels would be a waste of resources as the real bread and butter in the Mega Man series is either the main series itself, or the X series.
Basically, Mega Man doesn't look to be the kind of game that would fit in with Capcom's recent business ideas and strategies, so they won't bother releasing another Mega Man game unless they can seriously gouge the fanbase with it.
Why does Capcom hate Mega Man?
Doesn't make sense really. they could do DLCs for every of megaman's weapon. lol
Answer: Inafune...
Capcom also hates Breath of Fire and pretends the franchise does not exist
