Mega Man Universe Cancelled. What's Next, Capcom?

Amdreas Asimakis writes, "In the months that followed Comic Con, Mega Man Universe completely dropped off the radar. Worrisome, I reached out to just about every Capcom representative I knew, inquiring about the current status on Mega Man's latest adventure; was it on hold, had it been cancelled? Initially, Capcom confirmed that the title was being reworked, that events like Comic Con helped address a few notable issues that the developers needed to take a second look at. For a moment, I could breathe easy. While Mega Man Universe was a fun and captured just about everything I love about the little, blue guy, it suffered from a several fundamental issues such as wonky controls and a delayed response time. I adore the hell out of Mega Man and I would gladly take a delay in release over a broken product any day. But the one thing I never accounted for, was a broken heart."

i hope they cancel DMC tooo

litlmutt5532d ago

They wont touch DMC. The IP is too strong to kill it now. They can get away with megaman because at this point it appeals to the older gamer for nostalgic purposes. At least thats what I think they think. lol

Scissorman825532d ago

I remember trying to get into DMC4, wasn't happening. And part 2 was a complete joke. Seriously,if the IP was so strong, why would Capcom feel the need to reboot it after 4 titles?

play17boy5532d ago

Cancel DMC pleeeeeaaaaassssseeeeeee!!!!! I will never be able to take the new Dante seriously as a lead character, bring back the old Dante, then we can talk.

Hardcore Gamer: Mega Man is dying with every passing month. Even compared to the scatterbrained Resident Evil, Mega Man is in a colossal danger zone.

What a shame -- this is one of gaming's icons for christ's sake.

Summons754337d ago

So was Devil May Cry and Resident Evil but they had no problem letting those games get ruined.

Honestly I'd rather MM stay at a peaceful rest than than risk them making a new game and it being god-awful.

ValKilmer4337d ago

DmC was the best game in the series.

GrandpaSnake4337d ago

i always thought he was like a for sure fan favorite but yeah they killed mega man i still think hes cooler than mario. imagine if nintendo would release mega man legends 3!

Godmars2904337d ago

Well, look what they did with him. After things like X, ZX, the Battle net series or MML, the best that they could consider was returning to the very original origin.

Nintendo is keeping Mega man Relevant by putting him in Smash Brothers. They do more for Mega man than Capcom. kind of sad really.

Don't forget their greed. A lot of this has to do just as much with greed.

-Foxtrot4337d ago

Honestly their IP's would do better without Capcom. I'd rather see Nintendo get the Megaman IP from them like I would like to see Sony get the Resident Evil IP.

The IP's are either wasted or ruined.

Summons754337d ago

I agree Nintendo gets Megaman, Sony gets Resident Evil, and Platinum Games gets Devil May Cry. Sony and Nintendo can duke it out for Dragon's Dogma (because I just want another one, I don't care what system it comes out on).

gantarat4337d ago

Guarantee 100 % Sony make RE Game like RE Movies

Geekman4337d ago

The gaming industry sure does like the words "Kill, Killing, Killed, and dead."

Battlefieldlover4337d ago

When was the last Mega Man game released?

crusf4337d ago

Mega Man 10(March 1, 2010)
Not too long ago for it to be considered dead.

Battlefieldlover4337d ago

ya 8bit in 2010. You got me man, alive and kicking...

luis_spartano4337d ago

Out of all my favorites franchises, Capcom owns three, and one of them is MegaMan X.

Capcom killed Resident Evil, Breath of Fire, MegaMan X. Since 2008, I promised to myself that Capcom would NEVER see a dollar from my wallet again, and so I did.

To me, Capcom could be purchased by Microsoft, 'cause being purchased by Microsoft is worse than going bankrupt.

Capcom is dead. It just need a grave.

hkgamer4337d ago

its such a shame. totally forgot about breath of fire.

does capcom hate money?

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory4337d ago

Mega Man And His Place In The Modern Era

Super PolyPixel - Capcom is a heartbreaker. They tease us with games right before snatching them away from out outstretched fingers. The Mega Man franchise has been hit especially hard, alienating many fans. Each Capcom announcement, we wait eagerly for Mega Man news only to be denied. Capcom has seemed to focus their attention to other games: Resident Evil, Remember Me, Lost Planet 3, their endless supply of HD remakes…and we are left wistful for what could have been.
