MegaMan Will Return "In Due Course"

[Darkgargos]

I dont care for those games ether but dont walk out good sir. 

Don't cry Roll, I'm back  , yeah...the whole "Pokemon" tacked onto Mega Man just feels wrong to me. Not that I have anything against anyone who likes that stuff, to each their own right? It's just not "Mega Man" in the classic sense to me is all. I have always been more of an X series fan to be honest though.

I too was and X series baby, I never played an game in the original series until 2013. I watched the original anime and that was about it. The network series .... Ill watch the shows but cant bare the games due to pokemon-esk nature of the series.



The Day of Sigma Has Been Digitally Restored

[Darkgargos]

Well, I have been playing the series since it was first introduced on the NES, but the X series just had that certain something to it. More solid gameplay and features like armor upgrades and stuff....plus it had Zero. Everything about the X series just felt perfect at least up to X4.

Day of Sigma is how you do Mega Man anime, just give me a fully fleshed out series version of that.

Thanks, Rage Unlimited is one of great fan games, will update.
If discussion goes that way I'm also with X-series and Z-series(including ZX) too they are more than Classic, Legends, Starforce and BN altogether for me. Guessing X-series dominates

Oh, nothing much. Just that Dentsu Entertainment and Man of Action Entertainment (Avengers Assemble, Ben 10 series, Generator Rex) are teaming up with Capcom to make a 26 full-length episode cartoon series dated for 2017 (Mega Man's 30th anniversary) with the intent of launching a franchise revival and that Capcom has hired a dedicated Mega Man producer.

New Mega Man Animated Series in the Works

Despite there continuing to be nothing in the way of new games, Mega Man is getting a new animated series that'sexpected to debut in 2017 to celebrate the  franchise's 30-year anniversary[/color], Capcom announced today.

Details are light at the moment, but Capcom will partner with Japanese company Dentsu Entertainment to produce a 26-episode series. Dentsu, which will own the worldwide broadcasting and licensing rights, has enlisted the help of Man of Action Entertainment to write and create the series.


Man of Action's team consists of Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle, with those individuals having previously been responsible for series like Ben 10, Generator Rex, and Big Hero 6 (the original comic).

This isn't the first time Mega Man will be adapted to another medium; there have been a number of comics and manga in Japan, while there were two animated series (Mega Man: Upon a Star and Mega Man, pictured right) in the early-to-mid 1990s.

Beyond the target launch date of 2017, there's no word on exactly when or how the new series will be distributed.

You know this is a news thread so iyt would help to read the post,

Man, I'm @ work, I'm tired, my head hurts, and words are hard bro. My fail is complete.

[ExeLord]

Also skipped that somehow, sorry, Rage Still it's intriguing

[Darkgargos]

Well to be fair to Jelux, I have heard that Capcom is possibly trying to revive their Mega Man franchise and that this animated series is just one part of it. But if they are trying to bring him back..why now and why after treating us fans like dirt for so long? Capcom is now a company that wants to maximize profits and not bother with stuff that will not make a good return investment. Mega Man only sells to the fan base and that base is a very small minority. I can't see them doing this out of the kindness of their hearts as some apology. Something makes me think they have a plan to make the franchise sell again and gain popularity. But if that's true and this fails to meet their often ridiculous expectations, then we can truly kiss this franchise goodbye as they will permanently shelve it.

The bad part is that if the quality of these products don't match up with what we expect and deserve then we won't buy or care about it. But current Capcom will read this as Mega Man is no longer of any interest to anyone and no longer a viable IP, but in reality we just don't want bad products regardless of what it is based on. So if Capcom is planning a revival then they better do it right, but I'm not getting my hopes up not in this day and age.

At least we still have the old games and fan games to keep things alive, so despite whatever comes of all this Mega Man will continue to live on in our hearts and memories. To us the loving and dedicated fans, Mega Man is eternal and a beloved franchise we will never let go 

[MaverickZr0]

Won't be surprised if the idea gets scrapped before the end of this year. My expectations for Mega Man's 30th anniversary are very low. :\
I hope I'm wrong, though.

For the cartoon show Please be drawn animation not cgi stuff..   
That was a crazy fight between Megaman and Samus.


I saw this Quints Revenge fan game.  It looks neat.

That game is so broken. one work Metalman

"Capcom has announced Mega Man Legacy Collection for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo 3DS. Developed by Digital Eclipse, the bundle features all six 8-bit NES entries with new modes and extras."

New Mega Man game, eh? Not at all, but at least something with "Mega Man", "game" and "new" in one sentence...

Forgot to add "The game will be live streamed at E3 followed by a playable demo at the San Diego Comic-Con."

[Darkgargos]

, figures as much. I mean, this is Capcom we are dealing with here....gotta rehash those old games because they know they can't come up with anything better. If they are gonna do this it should have been every single classic game 1-10 and X1-6 games in one collection then it might be worth something. I knew there would be nothing to get excited about as usual. Besides I can play the old games any time I want, there are too many ways to do it now....this is such a waste of an opportunity . We need fresh new games in the series not rehashed old ones. But Capcom gonna Capcom I suppose.

Yes, I'm salty....sort of 

[ExeLord]

Wish they went Power Up way with those, with challenges or not it's still same old games that can be played with emulators. I'm so wanna kick their lazy milking butts Even with that NES style - demake MM7, MM8, add 9 and 10, R&F(M&B) to make it whole collection or even better - color GB games and put them there. With 1-6 it's kinda making it halfway

[Darkgargos]

I'd rather all of the classic series was remade to match MM8's style. But really, I want a new game in the classic series taken to the next level in terms of 2D graphics and game-play. No more of this 8-bit nonsense, not that I hate it as those were fantastic games, but they should have kept pushing the series forward not backward. Also Mega Man should never be 3D unless it's 3D that looks and plays like a 2D game....like Guilty Gear Xrd.

[ExeLord]

Oh, I'm completely agree with you there. When they released MM9 not in MM8 or better graphic style, but in NES style I thought of it as degradation. Seeing all classic games in that style would be great, nuff said
Though in all honesty I'd preferred to see X2 treated as X1 MHX on PSP or new X/Z titles rather than anything done with classic. Maybe even new metroidvania title or spin-off like Command Mission.

[Darkgargos]

I'll be honest, I never liked MHX....the whole 3D remake thing I suppose. Just doesn't look or feel or sound like the original. If it had been remade with hi-res 2D art maybe I would have liked it more.

[ExeLord]

I, personally, liked MHX, mostly because of Vile of course. Always enjoying playing as bad guys I love hi-res 2D, but it's hard to expect that from Capcom.

[Darkgargos]

That was it's saving grace I think, playable Vile. I will admit though that I never have been a fan of 3D games. I'm old school and have been around since before the NES came onto the scene so 2D is what I feel is gaming is and should be...it's a selfish way of thinking, but 3D gaming just rubbed me the wrong way. Plus I have low depth perception and get headaches and nausea from 3D so 3D is almost unplayable for me.

I don't hate 3D just for being 3D, it's how it affects game-play that bothers me. Though I do prefer pure 2D because it feels more like traditional art. I also feel certain games just don't transfer well to 3D, Mega Man has been 2D for so long and the tight, responsive game-play is very hard to replicate in 3D. But this is all my own opinion however and I'm an old timer when it comes to games so it affects my thinking.

Though give Mega Man the GGXrd treatment and I'm all over it
