Josh: The other day I came across a news story that due to the success of Mario Marker for the Nintendo Wii U console, Nintendo was thinking about creating a “Zelda Maker” game for the Wii U as well. While I jumped for joy at the thought of something like that, the realization was that it was only being thought about and nothing was promised nor is anything being made in that regards right now. However, that didn’t stop my wheels from turning inside my head and if Nintendo is willing to do a Zelda Maker game to accompany the highly successful Mario Maker, then what’s stopping other companies from following suit? So I asked myself what franchise would benefit the most from a “Maker” game? Well, if anyone knows me they already know the answer, but if you don’t know me then allow me to indulge you with my love for a certain little Blue Bomber known as Mega Man. It’s not just my wish or my dream to see a “Mega Man Maker” game put out onto the market, though. I think the timing right now would yield spectacular results. With the cancellation announcements of several Mega Man-related projects over the past few years, such as Mega Man Legends 3, Mega Man Online, and Mega Man Universe, fans of the dying franchise have been chomping at the bit for SOMETHING out of Capcom for the Blue Bomber.
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.
Capcom has recognized Mega Man as one of its most important IPs, and is looking towards further development of the franchise in the future.
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
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
Capcom is planning to develop brand new titles in the Mega Man franchise on an ongoing basis in the future.
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
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.
Or maybe do what Nintendo did with Metroid. Go from a 2D platformer to a 3D game, like Metroid Prime.
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
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.
We still have the level editor in Mega Man: Powered Up. Yeah it's only on PSP, but it still exists. Capcom were planning to continue to do remakes in that style for all of their other classic Mega Man games along with the X series, but apparently Powered Up and Mega Man X: Maverick Hunter didn't sell well enough to continue on with this idea.
Mega Man: Powered Up is a 8- year old game which is only available on the PSP and PS Vita. That's not saying much nor is it viable for everyone who doesn't have either platform to play.
I hope to see a new megaman or sequel to the maverik hunter x game.. The x series was my favorite but ill take anything at this point.. Mighty no.9 looks awesome but hes not mega man
I never though of that and this would be really great. I'd also like it if you could make battles like in Mega Man Battlenetwork. I never understood the hate it got, because I liked. Plus it was a great spinoff on the main series. So it is just odd to me how many people hated it.
