GameXplain: "Friends, gamers, bombers of the color blue, lend me your ears. I call on all of you to remember a time when Mega Man was a dominant force, a time when he had games coming out each year, a time when he was never far from gamers’ minds. It seems ages ago, but it really wasn’t. Capcom has apparently forgotten about him, and they seem content to leave it that way. Mega Man as a character was once the embodiment of the company yet lately he appears to have fallen from grace. His games have been cancelled, and the only time fans see him is when he’s a background cameo or being used merely as a downloadable skin. While these few nods are appreciated, they often serve as a heartbreaking reminder of just how cast aside Mega Man has become."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Mega Man isn't worth saving. He's always been a C level star at best.
Need to make it more of a kinetic title. A side-scroller beat em up and platformer that use more than platforms.
I keep thinking of an indy PC title called Armed with Wings. Some of the fan stuff on Newgrounds.
He can be, of course, but only if Capcom don't touch it :p
But seriously, look at Rayman: Origins. Talk about coming back with a bang. All we need is a classic 2D Megaman or X/Zero game, with hand-drawn and animated high-res sprites, with a lovingly composed soundtrack (arguably a very important factor in a MM game). You could apply lessons learned from other games like NSMB and Rayman too, like co-op and various incentives to encourage full completion and greater replayability.
Just give the Megaman name to another company because right now reimagining a classic is currently not Capcom's strong suit. Also, putting him in Marvel vs Capcom 3 now is too late now to really turn the sales around for the game.
The only thing Capcom is going to do is create yet another collection (I would say HD but see after Resident Evil 4 that remains to be seen.) which most Megaman fans already have plenty of....
Give megaman to cave story dev, which of course wont happen cause capcom keeps thinking its the best.
