Speaking during the question and answer portion of its 45th ordinary general shareholders meeting, when asked about plans for the franchise, Capcom responded:

“Mega Man is one of our highly-valued IPs and we are considering how to create games for it on an ongoing basis.”

[hemo memo]

Quality though?

 

[Hudo]

Can you please start by getting my boy off the moon? Come on, man.

 

[Jesb]

There’s plenty of capable devs that can do it justice instead of just sitting on it.

 

[Holammer]

I'm not a fan myself, but remake Megaman Legends from the PS1 already. That'll shut up a lot of people.
Now that I think of it, it's weird they never made a game with a 3D platformer perspective.

 

[GymWolf]

They could start by giving me a remaster of the misadventure of tronn bonne, just saying...

 

[Punished Miku]

Never really liked it much honestly.

Maybe make a new 2D action game IP.

 

[Killer8]

Farm out a new 2D entry to Inti Creates.

 

[Punished Miku]

They already put out something similar practically every year. I haven't heard anyone talking about Umbra Claw.

 

[RoboFu]

The last MM 11 was great. Just do more of that!

 

[poodaddy]

I must admit that I just don't much like the standard MegaMan games, while the X games are my favorites of all time. Weird, I know, but that's how I am. I wish they'd focus more on X, Legends, and Tron Bonne. There's a lot of ground to explore there still I think.

 

[AJUMP23]

Mega Man mega development teams.

 

[Metnut]

It’s time to make Megman a metroidvania. Gatekeep the progress behind earning new abilities from bosses.

 

[Celcius]

I really didn’t like the art style of MM11 or the music.
That being said, give us a AAA MM Legends 3!

 

[IAmRei]

Hey yeah \o/

 

[Comandr]

MegaMan X Corrupted says hi.

Honestly if I was Capcom I'd be reaching out to this dude for some kind of deal.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Give it to a young newer team that grew up playing Mega Man. Use an engine like Unreal that can be updated over time, and not internally.

 

[STARSBarry]

Legends first please.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

well... we are waiting.

 

[SHA]

I actually started hating the original series because of that narrow thinking, what about x and other serieses?

 

[Mephisto40]

This has got "mobile game" written all over it

 

[GymWolf]

Legends first please.

Nah, even megaman himself want to tap that bitch

 

[rockman zx]

After the success of Mega Man 11, it's crazy they didn't figure how to manage the franchise, they just milked the old games, the easy route. I get Mega Man it's small compared to other Capcom IPs but still. We should be talking about Mega Man 12, X9, Legends and Star Force Collections already and not this.

 

[Rran]

Mega Man 11 was very good, except for the lame music. Just do more of that and some HD sprite-based Mega Man X sequels. Do one of each per generation and I'll be happy. They don't need to be annual and they probably shouldn't be.

It’s time to make Megman a metroidvania. Gatekeep the progress behind earning new abilities from bosses.

Mega Man ZX kind of did this. It was okay.

 

[Arsic]

Honestly? Do a megaman 1-3 remaster with modern visuals, and throw in speed run leaderboards, new bosses, etc.

Then do the same with MMX 1-3.

Then do it with MMLegends 1&2.

—-

From here you can reboot megaman with a new franchise/look. Just follow their RE games formula of how they’ve released.

 

[Hypereides]

Nice. MM11 was pretty alright. If its more of that then that's great news.

 

[STARSBarry]

Interesting little fact, not only was Megaman Legends 2 unfinished, but so was the start of the game, because it was given away as a Japanese exclusive demo disc.

Eh... No. Meganman Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X already demonstrated how poorly these things age. I really hated the look of MM11. MM1-3 already got updated with "modern" visuals decades ago in Wily Wars. I think something like that could be an idea, but jesus, please don't go to 3D models. So much of these games' charm and replayability comes from the presentation and excellent sprite work.

 

[mystech]

As much as I appreciate a good 2D (or 2.5D) side scroller MM game, I really hope they branch out. I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to a reboot of the old Megaman Battle Network series or a full 3D platformer.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I want a spin off with Roll, Iris or at least Ciel.

 

[Dacvak]

They should just hire the Mega Man Maker folks and turn that into a real product.

 

[Roman Empire]

You should start by getting megaman out of the fucking moon! Megaman Legends 3 is just waiting...

 

[Generic]

I'm still waiting for MegaMan X9...

 

[Variahunter]

I only want 2 things :

- Megaman X9

- A new 3D third-person Megaman staring at least Megaman and Zero playable, as an action / Metroidvania game with a city hub as in Megaman Legends.

 

[tamago84]

Just copy megaman corrupted and make it better

 

[AngelMuffin]

The latest Mega Man game was ok but was overly complex in its game play mechanics. Every time I gat the itch to play a MM game, it’s either MM2/3 for NES or MMX for the SNES. Keep the gameplay mechanics at the MM3 level and develop creative platform levels with rocking soundtracks. That’s the key to success with these games.

 

[MagiusNecros]

MML3 and sequel to ZX: Advent would be nice.

But they pretty much left Megaman to rot so I doubt anything they put out will be any good.

 

[bender]

Pull a Nintendo and do a Mega Man Maker.

 

[Big Baller]

I know we've got 20XX and 30XX but its just not the same. Make a roguelike Capcom, preferably in Hades fashion.

 

[diffusionx]

It's strange they haven't done Mega Man Legends Collection yet, because the BN/X/regular ones were big hits.

MML aesthetic is now in style too.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Maybe they will uncancel megaman universe

 

[Stamps1646]

Mega Man Legends REmake, when?

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

young newer team

that grew up playing Mega Man

Dude, the halcyon days of Megaman were 30 years ago. There’s no “young” people who grew up playing good MM games anymore.

11 was good. Short-lived, but good. MM9 was peak classic 2D MM and, sorry everyone, the only excellent X game was the first. X3 onward was one of the saddest downward spirals in gaming, and X7 was a disgrace. Keep anime storylines away from games based on good, simple gameplay - should be simple to understand, but apparently it’s not.

We don’t need yearly Megaman again, but not letting the IP rot would be nice. Start remastering the Legends series with some QoL features, then we can talk about new games.

 

[Hero_Select]

Give us a new Battle Network game you corwards.

 

[DeVeAn]

Love Mega Man and the games. I thought 11 was fantastic. Give us 12 or X9.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Third person, open world, roguelite where your racing against a 5 hour clock.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Just make 8 bosses whose power you absorb when defeating them, and then a couple end game stages.

You could literally repeat this formula forever.

 

[Bernardougf]

Quality though?

We dont use this word in 2024.
