That case just screams "HEY WE CANCELLED MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3, YOU REMEMBER THAT?!!?!"

animegamingnerd4644d ago

i rather take legends 3 then this damn you capcom

LKHGFDSA4643d ago (Edited 4643d ago )

also, since it's 8bit, it reminds me of the "3D Classics" version of the original Megaman that we also never got.

edit: To clarify, yes, they did announce that we were getting this game. They said it months before the initial release of the system, and it was one of the reasons I bought it.
(Might of been the 2nd Megaman game actually.)

kirbyu4643d ago

I don't see why everyone so mad about that cancellation, I mean, you wouldn't even play as Mega Man.

Agent Smith4644d ago

You know what would be better to celebrate Mega Man's 25th anniversary? A new Mega Man game. >_>

DarkBlood4644d ago

this needs a dr evil meme lol

Knight_Crawler4643d ago

Honest question: Do people really beleive that Mega Man would transition well from last gen to this gen?

Mega Man is a platformer and I dont see it evolving from that which means that the market is niche and pure nostalgia.

Maybe they should release a PSN/XBLA game.

Kyosuke_Sanada4643d ago

Megaman Legends laid roots for releasing a great game this generation if they just followed it's infrastructure with the necessary improvements for graphics and gameplay. An open word Megaman shooter/RPG hybrid isn't that hard to believe if Mass Effect could get away with it.

MasterCornholio4643d ago

Great and im guessing it comes bundled with Megaman Legends 3.

Wait that game was cancelled?

Bloody Capcom.

Kratoscar20084643d ago

Capcom ENJOYS trolling the poor Megaman Fanbase.

PirateThom4643d ago

I'm glad I'm not a huge Mega Man fan because I really think Capcom are intentionally setting out to rile up that entire fanbase now.

Capcom says it wants Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney to be 'core IPs' like Monster Hunter

Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.

ZeekQuattro37d ago

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.

Christopher36d ago

I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.

lukasmain36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

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 .

blacktiger36d ago

all talk and if they launch it will cost $200

shinXseijuro36d ago

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 .

VersusDMC36d ago

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.

Yeah they’re testing the water with Pragmata ..

shinXseijuro192d ago

Next megaman game will run on Pragmata engine they’re just gonna swap out Hugh and Diana for megaman but they literally function the same . You’ll be able to lock into enemies and uses your thrusters to dodge in all direction and as you advance you’ll get upgrade for double thruster jump , front and back dash etc . Great game

BlackDoomAx192d ago

I fear that current generations don't care about it.

HyperMoused192d ago

Its just a bit dated now...the pic above its the 90's....maybe a slight revamp would be good, now what that would look like would be interesting

Johnh5223192d ago

Mega man Legends 3 or remastered ones

Question is always going to be what are you going to do with it? Capcom has burnt mega man fans many a time and trust is low overall so I think a bold new direction may not be the best idea unless it's backed with a sonic mania style project alongside it.

I could see a bold new 3d take on the Willy wars alongside a mania style game being very popular.

Just keep it far away from Live services and loot boxes

DarXyde541d ago

Hear me out.

........I think they could pull off a MetroidVania Mega Man.

Even better: make it Megaman X, but in a pre-X7 style.

Old McGroin541d ago

Or maybe do what Nintendo did with Metroid. Go from a 2D platformer to a 3D game, like Metroid Prime.

shinoff2183542d ago

Sounds like a plan Capcom. Just don't forget the disc. Also I think alot of the mega man base would love to see a return of the rpg

Brazz541d ago (Edited 541d ago )

You know... I realy think a MM game that plays like ratchet and clank can work great! Mega Man can be very light hearted and family friendly, something for everyone If they use a formula similar to Ratchet and Clank, i realy want to see Capcom giving It a try.
