It has been 6 years since a major Mega Man release and since Mega Man is my favourite franchise I think this is very awful, do you think Capcom has plans for a new game in the classical or X series coming? If so do you want it?

If that picture was made by artificial intelligence then Capcom needs to work on their art skills
I would love for anything out of the franchise at this point. I think Legends could be done exceedingly well nowadays.
I was just saying this the other day. They done killed my boys X and Zero (but for real this time, I guess).
I have a suspicion that they just didn’t know what to do with it anymore, at least as an X and Legends series fan.
Capcom, despite their Renaissance, has missed out on some big opportunities to cash in on solid ip revivals off the nostalgia wave. And despite a lot of success I feel a lot of potential longevity and monies in what they have released has been missed out on due to outdated game design philosophies.
But that’s my extra tree fiddy on the subject. Me miss Megamall too, fam :’ (
Edit: didn’t actually answer op’s question like a knob.
Give me some Megaman BattleNetwork!
I want MegaMan X metroidvania game or Megaman Legends with Returnal style combat.
There were 8 years between 10 and 11.
Rightfully so.
I feel like if they ever make a live action mega man it will be fucking nuts.
If they make a cg animated movie I’m not even interested.
I’m still salty Legends 3 was just unceremoniously canceled. It wasn’t my absolute favorite in the Megaman multiverse but I did throughly enjoy the alternate take on his life.
I can’t say if Capcom is working on a game or not but they did give us DMC5 out of the blue when we thought that series was dead and buried, so who knows, they may surprise us. I think they just don’t know where to go with the series, especially X. The last few X games have been awful and the timeline is all over the place, especially if you look at Zero’s history too closely. Then you have to take the Zero games into consideration as they are canon to the timeline. But imo, that’s a good jumping point, there’s a whole war and almost planetary level extinction from where we think X ends to where Zero begins and there’s the ZX series which take place even further into the future where our protagonists are just magical girl transformations lol. So there’s A LOT of story to be had. Hell, at some point we gotta bridge the gap between classic and X too right? But so far, silence.
Personally, I would love a game but only time will tell.
Just fucking sort out the X timeline capcom. I’ll take an outsourced animated film at this point.
if they could just put some of capcom’s top teams into making a top tier 3D megaman game, that would be awesome.
This is the result of people voting with their wallets. If mega man sold as much as monster hunter this problem wouldn’t exist
A new Mega Man Legends would be awesome, they could make it kind of Tron/Cyberpunk styled
You’re discounting xdive and I’m kinda miffed about it
I loved the Mega Man series growing up, but other than tying up the plot line for Legends, there really isn’t anyplace for them to go with the series. How many times can we beat Wily/Sigma? It’s ok to just enjoy the past games and accept the series ran is course.
Megaman Legends is certainly doable like Nier/Stellar Blade.
I’m also waiting for Breath of Fire.
Megaman ftw
upvoting every comment because i love Mega Man
The only problem with bringing back legends is that everyone would say “oh look another third person open world action game with RPG elements set in a post apocalyptic future, nothing we haven’t seen a million times before, this game is so unoriginal” without realizing that Legends 1 and 2 pioneered and executed the concept on the fucking PS1 back when it was totally new territory and that every game since then has just been rehashing that.
I mean seriously think about how many of those things that “modern” games do that Legends already accomplished. A persistent world filled with vibrant characters, both of which react to your actions over time, an optional subnetwork of interconnected dungeons to explore outside of the main quest, super deep lore that all exists in game instead of in some books nobody buys, a weapon and ability upgrade system, town re-building, even a hidden morality system based on your decisions you make which changes the world’s perception of you, something that games still brag about trying to this day and a lot of them don’t even pull it off as well.
And you’d have to remake it because it’s been so long they won’t be able to just shit out a third one. But a remake would be like “oh here’s the same game I’ve been playing for about a decade now, oh joy” because it established the foundation of 3d games for decades but might not be appreciated for that.
I want Platinum to make a stylish-action/ character-action Mega Man game. I think their bombastic style and gameplay is perfect for the Blu Boi
