Awesome design, a very cool and modern take on Mega Man... F*** Capcom for teasing in this way...

That said, I'm starting to think that Capcom has opened up a salt mine to pay for their debt and this is just their way of mining.

(edit) Despite myself a part in the back of my mind is going "What if they released this "april fools" as a means to judge reaction to a new design for a game they are working on?"... F*** you brain! You aren't helping!

 

[oxidax]

Yo thats messed up

 

[Mr-Joker]

So a normal Tuesday for Capcom as they fooled us into thinking that they would release Mega Man legend 3 or do something special for his 25th anniversary.

Continue sinking capcom, I won't miss you when you die.

 

[entremet]

Capcom loves to twist the knife at MM fans.

 

[RealDeadOne]

The fuck... In what way is this funny?! Is the thought of releasing anything Mega Man related, even a Gunpla figure, so ridiculous to them that they think nobody would believe it?

I'm just failing to see the purpose of coming up with a good and reasonable product as a joke

 

[TheSlySoul]

So why is this funny? I actually like the design of an upgraded X. I think Capcom just likes to pour salt in the wound. For shame!

 

[KojiKnight]

Why do people assume April Fool's have to be funny? They only have to be a prank, and Capcom loves to prank us Mega Man fans because for even a split second, we'll believe it.

That...is an amazing observation. Then again, every day is April Fools for Capcom with Mega Man news.

Look guys! Here's a new crossover merchandise piece!

;_;

 

[NoirVisage]

more effort on a april fools than on an actual game.

That's the real joke, their decisions and mocking will make their downward spiral an occasion marked with fireworks and glasses clashing. Just sell your IP's and exit at this point.

 

[Yazuka]

We will remember it as the day that we got some MegaMan news, how small it is. But for Capcom, its Tuesday.

 

[Pinko Marx]

I'm not even an MM fan and I find this to be fuckery of the highest level. It wouldn't be so bad if the art wasn't actually some cool looking art.
Capcpom you bastards.

 

[Seik]

Pathetic, Capcom, fucking pathetic.

 

[NHarmonic.]

This is so shitty, it really is Crapcom, after all.

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Everyone knows the real joke wouldn't be the concept art, but the final figure

 

[Trike]

Last year they did something similar. One out of four designs they revealed was a real one. So there is a chance this could be a new figure.

Wow, they actually took it down due to the backlash. Like the Frostbite joke.

You guys were right. They canceled the April Fools joke.

Good lord.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Holy fuck, they actually cancelled the joke lol

 

[Ifrit]

So now they cancel a MM joke?

Wouldn't mind dat redesign though, looks great

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I really like that design.

 

[3bdelilah]

That's cold, Capcom. I feel sorry for the hardcore fans

 

[DaBoss]

Wow.........................

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

That design is awesome! Shame it's just a joke.

 

[Omegasquash]

Oh now that's just bad taste.

 

[KHlover]

Wow...ice cold move by Capcom. Cancelling their April's fools joke

 

[injurai]

Cancelling the joke feels like treading old ground...

everybody keeps losing...

 

[Mrcapcom]

Awwww *single tear comes out my eye*

 

[Omega]

It's extremely fitting that they cancelled a Mega Man joke.

That honestly makes the April Fools joke better IMO

 

[That Dude John]

Aw. The CCC thing actually sounded like a cool idea. I was curious to see what they'd come up with without needing a game to go along with the design.

 

[klaushm]

Even Megaman jokes get canceled. Oh the irony.

 

[Sub_Level]

Even people who dont view sodium as all that bad for you recommend no more than 5000mg/day and thats being extremely, extremely lenient. You guys are really pushing it.

 

[Valkerionseven]

I like that it is also a Gundam reference too but yeah. Sucks for the fans of this franchise. They really should not poke the beast like this.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Absolutely gorgeous design. I'm not sure if I get the point of this though.

 

[StMeph]

So meta that Capcom canceling the joke is the joke? No?

Well fuck you, Capcom.

 

[Snaku]

 

[UrbanDandy]

The joke here is that Capcom couldn't commit to the prank. Did they believe that there would be that much real rage for an April Fools prank to delete the page?

EDIT:

Wait, the cancellation was legit? Capcom....

 

[AdanVC]

So Capcom is really committed to cancel everything Mega Man related thay they even cancelled their own joke of a new Mega Man X. Wow...

 

[Diggeh]

So Capcom is really committed to cancel everything Mega Man related thay they even cancel their own joke of a new Mega Man X. Wow...

Surprise! That was the joke the entire time. What a hoot!

Delicious tears.

...Wait, these are my tears. ;_;

 

[Antoids]

mega man is so dead he cant even be an april fools' joke

the only way we can get mega man is by crossing him with street fighter

 

[fedexpeon]

Surprise! That was the joke the entire time. What a hoot!

Delicious tears.

...Wait, these are my tears. ;_;

Nah man...It is just...raining right now...
Yup...rains.

EVERYTHING CANCELLLED!

*Simmering raaaaage*

 

[Respawn]

They wish their financial report was.

Ouch

 

[koutoru]

Megaman is synonymous with cancellations now.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Megaman is synonymous with cancellations now.

"BRB, gotta Megaman by doctor's appointment"

"We're sorry sir, your flight's been Megamanned"

"You have chosen to Megaman this transaction. You Got: Receipt"

 

[lazybones18]

it's the gift that keeps on giving

Capcom <3

What a fitting end...Capcom cancelling the joke.

 

[Gbraga]

The original joke was meh, great design, but weak joke, but canceling it? Hilarious.

 

[Toxi]

I don't get it. Why a model? Do they assume the Megaman fan base likes model kits or something? It's be like Valve releasing pictures of a Gordon Freeman neck-tie for April Fools.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Capcom can't even go through with a Mega Man related joke nowdays. What a hack company.
