tricked ya! This is now a Roll thread!
pedophiles
ooops sorry, i ruined your roll thread. so now instead of posting lewd roll pics, you guys will argue about if e-girls is for pedophiles or not instead of ignoring my moronic post and going on with your life
Don't care, post roll
Why snake man? Dive man makes more sense.
Because it's from an ancient thing where some gay with the name handle was a huge Splash Womangay
that classic deceiver projection

they never released Roll DLC for MM11
>This is now a Roll thread!
Then why aren't there numbers in your image?
Roll is really cute
Terrible post, but I agree that Capcom is moronic. MM11 was a passion project from what I understand, so we are not going to see another title for a while.
>Roll poster still at it after all these years
Damn
*Call thread
FTFY
Shame about what happened to this. Level-5 or whoever owns the IP should do something with it. Don't care if it doesn't play like Legends.
It's not too hard to figure out. They don't think people will repeatedly shell out their shekels for a new MM game ever other year like they used to in the NES days, so they slowed the frick down. Granted, I still think the gap between 10 and 11 was unwarranted, but you can still tell why they did it. And despite how much I really liked 11, it still had some glaring flaws. Namely, almost no endgame and the most forgettable music in the franchise.
Also good.
I would daughter her so hard.
we know Boco
>want to bang her growing up
>come to appreciate Roll as a little sweetheart deserving of hugs and fatherly affection
>but still really want to ram myself into her more than ever
Capcom are buttholes for giving me these feelings.
Check out this fricking homosexual.
what a trickster!
nothing. it's never been that popular series. pretty lackluster sales
TPBP. I don't get how Mega/Rockman fans don't understand they're a very VERY loud minority of folks and the I.P. isn't one of Capcom's best selling since gaming's demographics have exploded.
>I LIKE DA NEW RESIDENT EVIL AND I"M LOUD ABOUT IT
But you're an automaton. An NPC. You'll forget about this shit in two months. Because you're an animal.
Keep coping
This
And you have delusional autists like this who can't comprehend how lackluster and small the franchise has always been. Even when compared to Mario or Sonic in Gen 3-4, the differences between sales were staggering. Even worse are the ones who think Megaman Legends is worth a damn despite saleswise was the weakest of all the spinoffs.
have a nice day, israelite. Get a flight to Israel.
>screeching nonsensical autism when confronted with the truth
Per usual witih the Megaman fanbase.
Why did your israelitebro bring up inbreeding? What's up with that?
>there's a conspiracy against me, it's not because I'm acting like a schizo in this thread, truly a cabal is working against Megaman!
>randomly brings up inbreeding
>projects it onto someone else
>why do you have such family problems?
You will be wiped out by people who just want to be left alone, and it will be funny.
You're confusing me with that other poster schizo
You will be wiped out all the same.
>Megaman Legends {...} saleswise was the weakest of all the spinoffs.
Is it really? Did ZX sell better (I assume Starforce sold better)?
You're talking to a filthy israelite.
Capcom are fricking buttholes, that's what. Mega Man is better than 100% of the rest of their IPs, but they refuse to make any more them because it does not work in any setting that isn't 2D. They have a Jim Ryan mindset where if it isn't Hollywood-tier garbage, they won't make it because it's not "good enough" for them.
>it does not work in any setting that isn't 2D.
It does, it's just nobody at Capcom cares
A Mega Man made like Ratchet 1 would be amazing.
This really is the perfect template for a 3D Megaman, all it’s missing is some Robot Master style bosses. I’m surprised Capcom never tried copying it.
Because corporate overwork and incompetence pushed out X7 and effectively made Capcom swear off of 3D for the franchise period.
The series are not remotely similar.
It's the best selling megaman too and they STILL let it die off again, like we can't fricking win with these buttholes
That's because MM11 was a passion project.
>it does not work in any setting that isn't 2D
It could, there just isn't anyone competent left at Capcom
I'm imaging a Megaman Legends game with movement that feels as good as this. Man it would be sweet. Exploration and light RPG elements. What the frick Capcom.
We need that 3rd person over the shoulder movie game audience
Sorry, games made for fun are so out of style
This. Megaman 11 came out right when capcom was shifting to the more western oriented cancer. Didn't matter that it was the best selling in the series megaman doesn't fit with pandering to the west.
Anon, Megaman sells like shit, the only reason Capcom made so many titles in the past was because they were doing so by being extra cheap
>third person shooters don’t work in 3D
>platformers don’t work in 3D
just make legends 3
maybe if there was support 🙁
A Mega Man Zero game with DMC-like combat would be God-like
I would say that the average megaman is better than most RE and SF shit but despite my long love for Megaman, I would still say that Monster Hunter is rightfully the best franchise from Capcom
What's worse is Megaman is the only reason Capcom exists as a company. It's like Nintendo just treating Mario like shit. Doesn't make sense. Megaman was literally the face of their company for 20 years and then they just treat him like shit. He literally was the capcom anniversary logo for the longest time.
>What's worse is Megaman is the only reason Capcom exists as a company.
No it isn't at all. I don't know where you get this from. It was their attempt to enter the console market with a mascot. Arcade games had been Capcoms bread and butter in the 80's and due to the success of the NES, they wanted some of its bread and butter as well.
He had his time in the sun.
cool artist
Capcom knows they can't just release a new Megaman game every year and expect it to sell like hotcakes, and they only care about things that will sell like hotcakes by just adding a new number/sub-title in the cover (street fighter, monster hunter, etc) because they miss how the industry worked three decades ago.
But they just released that not-gacha-anymore Megaman game, you can play that.
It's been five fricking years
And they still haven't figured out a way to do more than just 8 bosses and a multi-stage final area. This may be enough for the average Megaman fan but who knows how many of them are still alive. They either gave up on the series, which means we will only get a new game to introduce the IP to a new generation (of potential mascot toy collectors), or they are waiting for someone at Capcom to come up with a gameplay idea that will turn the next Megaman game into the series' own "Monster Hunter World".
>This may be enough for the average Megaman fan
Yes, teh game sold one million, I'm not asking for a game per year, I'm just asking for it not to be fricking dead again
Is megaman related to bomberman?
Yes they’re cousins.
No. Bomberman is actually Lode Runner though.
no. they both happen to be robots and that's about it.
bomberman is just megamans irish friend
>Bomberman in: The Troubles
Bomberman was a prototype name for Bomb Man
FRICK YOU BLACK MEGAMAN
Megaman was a relic that had no reason to exist after the NES age. Megaman X came out in the SNES era and was significnatly better in every way. Why would I every play a blatant downgrade at any point in future generations?
It's a shame they japcrapped it up with weeb animu shit.
Then why don't we have new X games? its not just classic megaman its that they dont do anything with any version or make a new one. Only thing they've done is collections ( which are nice i guess) and a shitty gacha that died.
It didn't sell 6 trillions copies so Crapcom would rather shit out more RE and MH.
Capcom DESPISES megaman. Either because of Inafune or it never selling as well as SF or MH, theyll repackage his old game every 5 years or so and then throw him back in the closet to rot
remember when Capcom regifted a fangame for his 30th anniversary?
At least it still gets video games fricking Breath of fire is in the goddamn sewer system. It died with a fricking shitty ass gacha.
Megaman doesn't sell. That's it.
Probably this, I still can't pull the trigger on 9-11 even when on sale for $10, there fun games I just wouldn't pay much for them
Frankly I'd never ask someone to buy Legacy Collection 2 or 11 for more than $10-15 together on a large sale, when the former asks $20 regularly and the latter asks $30. It's not that they're bad, it's that the games are like, two hours long max each depending on how well you adapt.
Pretty sure 11 came out just to dab on Inafune and the disaster that was Mighty No. 9
Not exactly, but it did came out almost exclusively to have modern designs for the merchandise. That's where the real money is, not in the games.
they just released battle network collection and dive offline. they're testing the waters for the RE Engine megaman game.
Yes goy, buy the collections if you want a new game, this time it will surely work!
I don't get it. Do they have to keep pushing out games every couple years or they will lose the license or what? This is like Spider-Man and Batman all over again.
It's not like the franchise is dead, Capcom has pushed out 3 Legacy Collections in this whole time frame. The problem is twofold though I'm guessing on the second one:
1.) Mega Man was, and continues to never be, a best seller. It's not hitting Monster Hunter or Resident Evil numbers, even Devil May Cry 2 has outsold basically everything but the BNLC.
2.) in the gap between Inafune leaving and MM11, simply mentioning Mega Man was "taboo" in the JP offices, and I imagine even with MM11 being a modest success this hasn't drastically changed. With so much at Capcom focused on the big-hitters and.. fricking Exoprimal I guess, plus budget re-releases and remasters of other franchises like Ace Attorney and Ghost Trick, there's probably no one really available or ready to actually work on anything Mega Man-wise at the company directly right now without some sort of pushback of putting their talent onto another "more worthwhile project", or at least no one willing to push far enough for it.
Say what you will about Inafune being an absolute fricking wiener up and a horrifically bad businessman, he at least had a dedicated autism for Mega Man and that's the only reason we had so many of those games. And even that was bad for the franchise because it competed with itself.
>It's not like the franchise is dead, Capcom has pushed out 3 Legacy Collections in this whole time frame
With those standards then yes, the franchise is dead
Considering these are mostly the definitive ways to play the games (besides X frickery but PC gets mods to unfrick some of that) if you're not into personal emulation, I'd say that's something. Especially since these are internal Capcom projects after the initial Digital Eclipse frickery with the classics. And they spiked Battle Network interest into being the best selling in the franchise. I'm a 30 year old Mega Man fan and I've accepted regular new entries in this series is a monkey's paw at best, but don't be a petulant child and act like it's absolutely and truly dead.
got mogged by MN9 2 years earlier
morons still crying about it
11 is by far the worst of the 11 classic games, that's why.
That's still 8.
>8 bad!
I'm so tired of seeing this holy shit
There isn't a single bad classic game
Even 7 is still "good"
8 has god tier ost, 11's is shit
so no
11's orchestral OST is actually really good, the question is why was it DLC?
That's not 3.
8 and 10?
10 is great
8 is mediocre but at the very least is not entirely based around an intrusive and lame mechanic like gears.
11's biggest sin is that it has the worst soundtrack of any Megaman game.
It has the best stage select in the series, and I will die on this hill.
the sad thing is the compositions are perfectly fine, it's the damn arrangement of dull and static instruments mixed with no Wily theme per castle stage
Gears are just a crutch for shitters and you can easily beat the game without them. The actual problem with 11 is that it's braindead easy on normal mode and hard mode gives you decently challenging stages and different boss movesets, except that hard mode also completely disables all stage pickups which is fricking moronic.
>disables all stage pickups which is fricking moronic
Does this include random enemy drops? Because if you're complaining about gears being for shitters, so are E-Tanks and lives.
I don't remember if it disables drops, but you're moronic either way, because those major pickups have always been placed along paths that are difficult to reach or clear and so present a natural risk / reward scenario and 11 is no different in that regard. On the other hand there's no risk involved in running back and forth to respawn enemies to farm health drops from them and the occasional life.
I recently beat all of MM4 using a single E-Tank. If you think gears are for shitters, so are E-Tanks.
You're an absolute fricking moron with no reading comprehension or even basic comprehension of game mechanics or consistency.
>Series has mechanics that can make it easier
>New game retains those mechanics and adds extra mechanics on top of that to make it even easier
Gee, I wonder why the new thing gets called out and the established thing doesn't.
You're the moron. There are situations like the fire chase which are exceptionally difficult to pull off without any gear use to the point that it might as well be one of the most challenging things in the game/entire series. Meanwhile you're complaining about beating a game tankless. Fricking get real.
>There are situations like the fire chase which are exceptionally difficult to pull off without any gear use to the point that it might as well be one of the most challenging things in the game/entire series.
That scene is an absolute breeze without using the gears at all, the only hard part is trying to get the pickup in it without them.
You're going off on a tangent and completely failing to address anything that's actually being said to you.
The point is that they're all just tools to help lesser players at the end of the day. If you need E-Tanks to beat the game, fine, but you're a shitter. Just like the people who needed gears.
>11's biggest sin is that it has the worst soundtrack of any Megaman game.
This is something that I agree to some extent but that ost is weird to me.
It has two or three great themes that use the terrible use of "instruments" to their advantage, and then everything else is just okay, but I cannot help but like it.
It's clearly not the best, but if MM11 has the worst soundtrack I don't think that's a bad thing, but I get it. It's a 6/10 in an ocean of 10/10.
Awful taste.
My taste is perfect.
9 > 2 > 10 > 4 > 3 > 5 > 6 > 1 > R&F > 7 > 8 > 11
4 and 5 get brownie points for being amazing bases to make rom hacks of.
I can agree with this list only if Megaman 9 is a 10/10 and Megaman 11 is a 9.5/10
All classic Megaman games are good.
>2 that high
The mark of a fake fan.
Give me one reason why the design of 2 is worse than 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 without being contrarian.
nta but I'm playing it right now and the levels suck dick, they're pretty much all just a 1 minute corridor until the boss, also the disappearing platforms are just shit
For me it's not that it's worse, just that the others are better. They have more features, better gimmicks, and more balanced weapons. 2 is a vastly improved sequel from 1 though, just that every game after that was even better.
Since I've been discussing it I might as well say mine for people to mock
11>4>9>6>10>&B>5>8>7>2>3>1
this shit could probably change wildly by tomorrow, only opinion that'll never change is last 3 NES games > first 3
It's been a while since I've played 7 and 10, really should play them again at some point
&B I partially want to put higher but I also hate it because the fortress stages are complete ass
For me it's mainly these couple of things
>Other games do weapon balance better
>Bosses are also done better later on, really don't like fighting quick man. Also that crash bomber boss is pure ass
Mind you I don't think any of the classic games are bad, even 1. Later games just do it better as they should
2 is really not that good compared to the rest, don't know why people put it so high
It's "the game" of Mega Man so people have a weird obsession with constantly saying it should be one of the absolute best in ranking ever.
I have similar opinions with 3
Doc robot bosses and the wily castle are too flawed for it to be at the top, don't know why people put it there
Because it's the one that established the "template" for the rest of the franchise, more than 1.
It's similar to how Demon's Souls is praised as the best even when it's barebones compared to the games that came out after it.
the thing about that comparison is that Demon's Souls is categorically different from its successors, much more stage-driven and every boss has a gimmick or design to counter vs. Dark Soul's exploration mixed with lots of straight up fight fights that became the Souls standard. to call it the "best" is to be thinking of a wholly alternative design structure so it's hard to really compare to what came after.
bandwagon homosexuals who never touched a Mega Man game before but hear the parroting of "2 is the best" so they go along like sheep and pretend it is
>10 that high
Wouldn't put 2 that high but overall a good ranking
Completely wrong.
8 (Saturn) > 3 > 9 > 5=6 > 2 > 7 > 10 > 4 > 11 > 1
9 > 3 > 2 > 11 > 10 > 6 > 4 > 5 > 7 > 1 > 8
t. first MM game was X7
>first game was X7
oof
What made you decide to give the series another chance after starting with that abomination?
11 is arguably the best one.
i can;t imagine what god awful Mega Man classic list you must have. 11 is easily the best one.
/thread
MN9 happened so Capcom made MM11 to spite Inafune, when MN9 turned out to be a flop MM11 was already greenlit so it was developed. Now that Inafune isnt a threat anymore there's no need to bring Megaman back.
Even when competent, stock Megaman Classic sequels aren't exciting at this point.
If they aren't going to continue the series that actually need concluding (Legends, ZX), what I'd like to see would be a Vanquish inspired 3D action game with wall running shit, or a Battle Network successor tapping into some of the aesthetic appeal of modern Persona.
All that's left is the Legends collection, right? Unless they want to do a miscellaneous one with shit like the Gameboy games and Soccer.
They could be massive buttholes and put out a Starforce collection first and then blame Mega Man fans when it fails.
>Too bad! Guess no one likes Mega Man anymore. :^)
That already happened to Legends, not Star Force.
Wooper's Adventure was a good Mega Man clone
Powered Up 2 when?
Hopefully never. Funko pop looking shit
>16 years later
>still no zxa sequel
Its so fricking over
>16 years ago
We're further away from ZXA's release now than ZXA was from MMX's release at launch.
Don’t believe the meme that buying games will bring franchises back. This was the best selling megaman ever and yet it got Jack and shit
nonono bro you don't understand
you have to buy this AND the legacy collections at full price or they won't bring Megaman back!
Mega man 11 fricking sucked and so did the generic sounding EDM shit music. Only desperate fricking morons said it was a good game. All I wanted was 11 to be HD sprites like MM8 or something but instead they put out dogshit.
homosexual.
3 > 9 > 10 > 2 > 11 > 5 > 4 > 6 > 1
simple as
I'd bump 6 up a little but otherwise I agree
3>9>6>2>4>10>5>7>8>1
didnt play 11, looked cheap
>6 that high
yes I have good taste
>diabetic
you do know that's what roll looks like right?
This list is accurate.
For homosexuals with poor taste maybe
A list I can mostly agree with. I'm a bit stunned.
11 is a good game.
Megaman X Dive has been going on for 4 years and they just released an offline version without the microtransaction shit
I have never and will never play gacha shit
pushing aside the argument of the series being dead or not for it, it's still not really a good game. like, Offline is a good time killer for those looking for immense fanservice, but it simply has no real polish or good level design.
the offline version at least completely excises the gacha elements in favor of just earning things to gain what you want, though the game also straight up offloads two of the strongest characters in the entire game onto you just for completing some of the opening parts.
why do people say 8 is shit? I think it's pretty good? most bosses are really fun, it looks good, sounds good
I've never seen anyone elaborate on it
honestly 8 is totally fine. it has issues, like excising E-Tanks and having shitty Rush usage, but by itself it's fine for what it tries to do. folks here are being overly literal about their dislike of it, but all of the series is fine besides like, Mega Man & Bass and I still find those that enjoy it
I personally enjoy MM&B more than 8. However, the king stages in MM&B are a bit much.
Take a wild guess...
What about the Saturn version then?
Same here. I just don't get it. At the VERY least, it's no worse than other MM games. I personally love 8 for the art style, music, cutscenes, and fun factor. Imho it has the highest production value of any original MM to date.
The only thing about it that is objectively shit is the voice acting, but even that is so hilariously bad it becomes memeable.
Your point being?
There's not really a reason
People here just parrot it because Ganker is a hivemind
Who? 8 fans are everywhere. Most of Ganker is under 30, so they're young enough to have grown up in the 5th gen.
From what i get Mega Man's jump feels weird to people because it has too many frames and it feels slow. Some disliked Clown Man stage.
And the JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE sections. Still i don't get why some hate it, i still have blast with it.
If you really want to see a shit Mega Man game then look at the Game Gear one.
I love it. It's such a chill game with great spritework and music, cool 90s anime cutscenes, and so-bad-it's-good voice acting. The bosses have a lot of personality and Mega Man's size is a lot closer to the NES games than Mega Man 7. I bet most of the hate is because the second jump-slide portion of the game filters people with slow brains
This.
I can't decide whether 2 or 3 are my least favorite ones. Right now 3 looks like it's better because I liked the Doc Robot stages. The Dragon and Alien Wily were pretty cool, but the security system boss that requires Crash Bombs is absolute AIDS
Why did Dr light build such a...____ robot?
>Blonde
>Red
>hot
That's Zero
I was gonna say rapeable but that works too!
His loan was sent to collections
There is no one at Capcom that actually wants to go out of their way to form a team and create a sales pitch for a new Megaman game. And if you don't have staff who actually want to make a project, it just doesn't get made.
People like to think that video games is just about sales, but forget at the end of the day it's still a creative lead industry. Sometimes the game developers you look up to simple just do not wish to make more games in the IP you enjoy. It's the same reason why you haven't gotten a new Banjo game too.
No one is going to like this take but I will say it anyway:
Capcom did everything it could with the Megaman concept. Like with Classic Castlevania, there is nowhere to go so there is no reason to keep milking the franchise.
The indie industry is full of Megaman clones, and they only thing they do is imitating the originals because there is nothing else to do that wouldn't turn the game into something completely different.
All Mega Man needs is a new stable of robot masters to keep it going, just like Pokemon.
>The indie industry is full of Megaman clones
I don't think this is true, but if it is, it's also the same thing with Pokemon—no one wants to play a game where you choose your boss order and collect their weapons—they want Mega Man. He was there first.
>All Mega Man needs is a new stable of robot masters to keep it going
That's exactly my point. We have gone through this dance countless times already. Why keep doing it when it will never change and already reached its zenith?
Unlike Pokemon, the quality is still there. So if they can still pop out new masters with compelling designs and weapons, the series can continue.
So just keep fricking making them then.
I am absolutely certain Mega Man 11 sold more than enough to make a profit, Capcom just needs to stop being a homosexual and accept that not every game or franchise will bring in MH numbers.
The funny thing is that you probably condemn franchises like Call of Duty, sports franchises as a whole or Soulsbornering for being the same game copypasted ad infinitum.
I also like Souls so I don't complain about those. I used to talk shit about Call of Duty and sports games so you got me there. I don't anymore for what it's worth.
FIFA:
>same field
>same rules (no new mechanics)
>same characters, give a take a few from last year
>same Top 40 Black person music
Mega Man:
>new levels
>new mechanics
>new characters
>new music
have a nice day.
I can be reductionist about Megaman in the same way:
Mega Man
>Same structure every single time (beat the robot masters, then go to the Willy Levels, then the boss rush, then the final bosses)
>Same 2D platforming every single time
>Same weapons every single time (the shield, the fire one, the ice one, the gimmicky one, the...)
>Same "boss is weak to another boss' weapon" gimmick
And so on and so on.
I won't deny that they're both easy cashgrabs, but at least Mega Man has to invent new characters, new mechanics, and compose new music. These FIFA Black folk just import all that shit from real life, and the normalgays eat it up.
I do agree about sport games being lazy to the extreme (it takes no creativity to just facescan the current national teams players' faces) but creating robot masters isn't exactly a very creative endeavor.
I could design the other seven robot masters in 15 minutes and then the coders just have to recycle attacks from past robot masters but with a different color palette.
You couldn't. I was actually surprised with how good this current crop is, and it shows that they still have the spark. They actually leaned into their personalities more, which is something that could work for them, given the parallels with Pokemon.
YOU'RE A FEW BRICKS SHORT OF A LOAD!
>You couldn't.
Yes I could
>They actually leaned into their personalities more
So they're just copying what X4 already did 26 years ago?
>Yes I could
No you couldn't. Your MSPaint scribbles are shit, and you should feel bad.
You are an example of the Dunning Kruger effect in action.
Let's just draw robot masters together!
Return to plebbit.
>Wanting to draw things is...Reddit
I would tell you, to have a nice day, jaded homosexual, but we all know you will do it anyways
The guy was scribbling in MSPaint and seriously asserting that he was a better designer than Capcom. It's just a pathetic mentally ill moron.
>Router Man
I disagree, games that sell themselves on multiplayer barely have to iterate from release to release, but series like Megaman or Castlevania that fly or fall on the quality of their design need a lot more work put into them.
Even if they wind up half-assing an entry, there's more work that went into it than merely deciding which returning bosses are going into the season pass.
>there's more work that went into it than merely deciding which returning bosses are going into the season pass.
>"boy, let's included Gutsman and Cutman again as hidden bosses / surprise bosses! I bet no one will see it coming!"
They only really did that for MM8 (Saturn) and X8.
GutsMan.exe is his own thing, though.
And were they in the season pass, basically unchanged?
>indie
>mega man clones
My ass. There's certainly inspiration and homage, but all of them fumble one thing or another or just are MM-like with a different overall design. 2/30XX are too removed despite aping MM literally, and people go to Gravity Circuit or whatever when these games at best are inspired and otherwise have next to nothing in common. It's this situation where people want to associate Mega Man with stuff out of desperation but nothing is truly Mega Man but Mega Man itself.
>2/30XX are too removed despite aping MM literally, and people go to Gravity Circuit or whatever when these games at best are inspired and otherwise have next to nothing in common
That's my other point: If you deviate from everything that Megaman already did so you can make something fresh, you end with something different.
Megaman is at its twilight, when the great battles were over and the great miracles long since performed.
There's always the other end too, where some people might be apathetic to your game if you don't change things enough. As in, why play your Mega Man-clone, that is Mega Man in everything but name, when you can get most every Mega Man title on Steam or such?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
frick you i'll make a fan game and show you there's more juice left. how hard could it be
I wish you the best of luck, anon. Hope your game is fun.
Years ago the company head said going forward Capcom will focus on developing 4 main franchises going forward and Megaman wasn't one of them. SF, MH, RE and DMC
People act like this same exact thing didn't happen with Mega Man 9 and 10. Mega Man just comes and goes.
10 wasn't as well received as 9 and sold a lot less.
I genuinely have no idea how to get into this series. I think I'm actually just getting filtered on a skill level or something because these games feel terrible to me to play. Everyone is always like "this game is the best bro you've gotta play this one" and then it's hallways of flickering, endlessly respawning enemies and extreme slowdown even in emulation because the game starts falling apart when more than two enemies are doing something. What is the appeal? Did I just have to be there or something? Is it even possible to get into this series in current year?
the games are easy you just suck
I mean, you're probably right. I just feel so compelled to play through at least some of these games.
Just run forward with confidence. Most of the time that works with trick sections.
Just give it an advertising budget. That's more important than game quality.
Which games are you trying? It sounds like you've got a lot more issues than simply bad emulation or the like.
He's probably talking about Mega Man 3, which is infamous for its slowdowns.
To be honest, I've only ever tried 3. I'm playing it via the legacy collection, which I assume is just a glorified emulator.
Mega Man 3's development was rushed to completion, which also brought along slowdown issues due to the way they were utilizing the memorybank switching on the cartridges.
If you want an easier title to start with, something like Mega Man 5 should be fine. There's always going to be some slowdown in all of the NES titles, but 3 is the worst offender.
Oh yeah, 3 is pretty bad in general for that. It was a rushed, nearly-unfinished game that barely got out the door so the flickering and performance is worse than any of the others. Legacy Collection doesn't really fix that, and if you were unlucky enough to play it on 3DS, MM3 was nearly unplayable on that due to poor emulation work.. but rockman 3 played identically to the original.
4 through 6 are easier games to get into and notably way more polished than the first 3, to some fan's consternation, but they're good entry points.
This removes basically all of the slowdown if you're willing to use an actual emulator
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/992/
Was this the romhack that changes the wily castle level design? Some of those design decisions were pretty meh.
1-3 is very rough. 3 in particular is very janky. 1 is pretty obtuse with the weaknesses and annoying boss AI. 2 is the easiest and also has the best graphics and sound in my opinion, so it's the one that everyone should try first. I know it's a bit hard to truly appreciate how great these games were if you don't know how unpalatable the average NES game is.
You're definitely not wrong about many NES games being hot fricking garbage, visually and in terms of game feel. I hate most NES games because of that. Mega Man looks pristine and plays like butter by comparison, I know that much. I'll definitely try giving 2 a shot instead and then maybe somewhere in 4, 5, or 6 if all else fails as per the other anons' recommendations.
As a 38 (soon to be 39) years old whose first console was the 2600 and then moved to the NES, I've always found funny the reverence old consoles and their games get.
A lot of NES games were terrible because the medium was still on its infancy and I spent countless weekends stuck with shovelware I rented with my allowance. Not every game was Super Mario Bros 3
The Zero games are a good introduction that are easy to emulate, have relatively modern gameplay sensibilities, and have good atmosphere/story.
I've been told they're among the harder ones, but honestly the Z-saber does so much damage so it makes sense you have less openings.
OFC perhaps the series just isn't for you, and that's okay. Not every game is for everyone, anon.

You can turn off the auto-aim in the pause menu. I recommend doing so, aside from a few stages/bosses being built around it the game becomes totally different and overall a lot more enjoyable.
It's fricking weird too because Mega man 11 is the best selling classic game in the entire series. So you'd think Capcom would say
>Oh, people actually give a shit about this series
Then they would give us something like X9, Legends 3 etc. While Megaman isn't my favorite series, it's a shame that he keeps getting shafted by Capcom
MM11 sucked.
High level capcom executive here.
How would (you) revive megaman?
actual answer that will get money, I'm not losing my ROI just to placate your autistic wishes.
Step 1: Make more Mega Man games
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
This isn't hard, you stupid slant bastards. You don't constantly need to make the next Hollywood-inspired AAA slop. You clearly still have the fanbase.
This is something that I don't understand. They did it with megaman 11, and then with ghost and goblins....and then stopped.
Every recent capcom game was a AAA title (not counting collections) and I think that's going to frick them up. If the leaked FF remake was canceled we are completely fricked.
I think it's more a numbers game, really. Sure, MM11 was received well and sold well (for Mega Man standards), but it didn't sell Resident Evil or Monster Hunter numbers. A single well-selling Resident Evil will earn them more than a couple of Mega Man titles would.
don't forget that it took Mega Man 11 four years (September 2022) to actually hit "best selling game in the franchise" numbers, and that's still lower than fricking DMC2 sales numbers even if that's an almost 20 year gap of lifespan.
MM9 was received so well that it effectively revived the 8-bit retro indie meme.
And yet it didn't crack the one million sales mark, like how MM11 eventually did.
Don't get me wrong, I love 9, 10 and 11, but sales numbers are sales numbers.
Sales numbers are proportional to their intended demographic. In terms of indies, MM9 is king.
Explain that to Capcom's shareholders.
>Omae wa mou shinderu.
Unfortunately Capcom hasn't made HnK games to my knowledge.
Lmao. Just make a cheap 40 bucks megaman game like they did with 11. People buy anything nowadays, just look at the battle network collection.
Make a game like Ratchet and Clank (the first one on PS2) with a lot of large open levels, setpieces and challenges and write a good story for it. Maybe make it so boss abilities let you access new parts of old levels.
Frankly they're gonna make some Battle Network stuff after it blew series sale records hands down, that's a safe bet right now. Probably nothing very high on budget either. If it were me, I'd probably have someone commission a low-budget game on the side and strike for a soft reboot of the pre-existing cast intermixed with Ratchet & Clank style gameplay at this point, because Mega Man being stuck in 8-bit design forever is just too fricking much even for me.
I said earlier, but all they need to do to turn heads is take the basic Battle Network gameplay, and combine it with the visual quality and cool appeal of Persona.
Better still if the game focuses on slightly older characters, and has waifu mechanics, because I don't think the early 2000's Digimon thing is as "in" these days as it used to be.
Frankly, that'd be a better game than any Persona.
New BN like spin off game. When I say I like, I just mean BN, but rebooted, or soft/actual continuation
Don't listen to the other autists, if you actually want to make money:
Make it a 3D, over the shoulder shooter with puzzles.
make it realistic in graphics and cinematic, use unreal 4/5.
At the end have megaman kill Wily in an epic and emotionally charged cinematic cutscene.
then have light put him in stasis in a capsule and lamenting about what he made.
roll the credits and end with a teaser for MMX.
Game should essentially just be the "Kirby and the Forgotten land (or whatever)" of the franchise. Making it a 3D game everyone can play with the classic cast makes it more accessible to a wider userbase.
Mega Man is inherently niche due to it's 2D nature and its difficulty. I love the series for that, but nobody else does.
Another problem with Mega Man is all the fricking numbered sequels. Seriously, people joke about Final Fantasy, but 11 classic games, 8 X games, 4 Zero games, 2 ZX games and 2 Legends games, plus an assortment of non-numbered (and numbered) spinoffs are one entire timeline despite how loosely linked Legends is. You look into the other timeline and you have 6 BN games and 3 SF games, which have multi-version releases bogging everything down due to Pokemon craze.
No one wants to buy fricking Mega Man 12 but the Mega Man fans dedicated to the series already, because how the frick does one approach a twelve game for something that clearly is far, far bigger than one expects and has 4 collection releases with 3 of them split in half?
Literally none of that shit matters because very few if any games are actually directly linked to each other and just amount to self-contained plots.
I know that and you know that, but tell that to a consumer staring at a video game on a shelf or on the digital marketplace without context. It's a fact that sequels sell less and less unless special circumstances apply, and 11 was one of those circumstances.
>its a man, but robot. he is also mega, lol
Wtf does this even mean? It could have been cacaman for all we know at the drawing board.
What's Papa Inafune up to nowadays anyway?
Think the last time he made the news was when he tried to push some NFTs.
>NFT
ahaha
Frick now I'm sad
He did some advisory work or somesuch on Gunvolt 3.
demoted to rereleases
that being said i want a legends legacy collection so i can actually play the series without breaking the bank a thousand times over
I want a Legends Legacy Collection on the vain hope that it has widescreen natively supported and can help stabilize performance in shit like the underwater dungeon of the second game like the PSP version did. But I doubt it will happen ever.
>early megaman games were great
>capcom starts pumping out low quality sequels and spinoffs to flood the market with cash grabs
>people eventually regard the entire franchise as slop
>becomes dormant for years
>sequel to the original series suddenly releases banking on nostalgia
>it works
>capcom starts pumping out sequels as cash grabs
starts pumping out sequels as cash grabs
Too bad we only got MM10, and MM11 years later.
>what the frick happened to Megaman
Capcom couldn't find a way to shamelessly and endlessly monetize it, so they immediately dropped it again in favor of series they can monetize like Street Fighter and Resident Evil. Capcom is the most israeli of all the japanese game devs
post more roll
I have been playing through Megaman series and it is the same game released 11 times. I will play Megaman X1-X4 and Megaman Zero 1-4 to see if it gets any better.
Legends 3 is being developed but in RE engine with realistic graphics and movement
I know a guy who works at Capcom
Mega Man is in a weird in between spot where by number of units sold it's the 4th best selling Capcom IP but by total money made it's like 5 or 6th place.
And most of those numbers are pushed by the sheer ammount of Mega Man games released.
If the AA market was still healthy and they had someone on charge that pushed for more you would get a decent ammount of tittles still, but as things are at the moment you will get nothing.
Mega Man V deserved to be there, in the collection
Is it true? Does death wear blue?
Yeah
bald.
Not a bad song, but i like Air Man's better.
Capcom would rather re-release a free mobile game for $40 with additional NFTs than do anything even remotely close to making a new Mega Man game.
That and the producer of MM11, and the man mostly responsible for internally resurrecting the franchise, Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, left Capcom — so Mega Man is kinda in limbo without anyone at the helm.
Reminder that you, yes (you), are the reason Legends 3 was cancelled.
>no physical release on switch in some regions
>not made for switch
>no switch marketing push
They completely failed to realise what platform this game needed to focus on to become a hit.
Switch owners are so fricking obnoxious
I hate tendies so much.
Go back to discord.
It's just A.I. Dead internet theory is real.
I'm the second reply to the tendie and I genuinely hate Nintendo fanboys. It's not discord and it's not AI, people who actually play video games just hate Nintendo cultists. That's it.
What does that have to do with Silent Hill, you moronic fricking israelitebot?
Mega Man, rather. Multiple tabs.
>Silent Hill
Is this some attempt at humor or are you just mentally moronic?
How could anyone accept a broken son?
Megaman is for people who want to play Megaman. It's not for people who want to enjoy side-scrolling shooters with tons of content. It's not been marketed that way for over a decade. Megaman is one of the last remaining Capcom ip's that hasn't changed its demographic. There are still toys, games and media made for original fans of the franchise.
I was happy as frick when they made 9 and 10. They should just have kept doing that. They couldn't have been that expensive to make.
The next one should use 16-bit style.
Megaman is an extremely inexpensive video game to make. Keiji Inafune expressed interest in making more Megaman games, but the board was in direct disagreement, so he went on to make Mighty No. 9 instead.
Capcom should just make Megaman a metroidvania, zoomers would buy millions of copies. I'm being 100% serious, just connect the levels into one huge map.
I hate to say it, but you're right. Look at all the "guise SOTN is the best Castlevania XD" posts.
Zoomers pay lip service to SOTN, but they don't actually like it, just like how they don't actually think Ocarina of Time is the best game ever, let alone best Zelda game ever. They prefer streamlined metroid-likes like Hollow Knight that emphasize artstyle over substance. JRPG mechanics and grinding annoy them.
SotN doesn't require grinding. The RPG mechanics are broken to the point that you just naturally over-level without trying.
>SotN doesn't require grinding.
It does if you want dual heaven swords.
>Hollow Knight
>Artstyle.
Hollow knight has the artstyle of a low effort newgrounds flash game from 2002.
ZX tried
People died
Not enough this world needs reset
>Capcom should just make Megaman a metroidvania,
It's amazing the amount of people who keep saying something like this, but never played ZX and/or ZX Advent for whatever reasons.
>ZX
A spinoff isn't the same thing. Blue Bomber or bust.
Capcom can't make the artstyle "realistic" so they just don't want to try
Doesn't need to be real in my opinion, Mega Man X was the best thing to happen to the series in terms of realism.
No love for this one?
Probably better than NES 5 and 6. Hand buster is strange but interesting. Got a color hack that I intend to play at some point.
there would be more love if Capcom fricking re-released it. seriously, no GB games, no Soccer or Battle & Chase, no MM&B, no Xtreme, no BN:OSS or 4.5 or anything
Almost no one gives the GB games any chance but IV and V are legit great and probably better than most NES ones.
The other ones are pretty cool too but not on the same level.
The color hack was great. Came out last Christmas. I had never played through the entire game before that, but I played through all of IV and then V with the color hack and they were awesome.
I played the original a month before it was released. Cosmic, that. Looking forward to a replay.
Would you buy a Legends collection if it had that demo for Legends 3?
I never played Legends.
I don't understand what all the hubbub is about.
Fun chararacters, fun art style, cartoon adventuring whimsy.
The game itself is just okay.
Sounds like Brave Fencer Musashi: Mega Man edition.
nowhere near as polished as Musashi, and the first game's controls and bosses are rough for those not ready to re-adapt to tank controls all over again, but they're basically like a playable OVA for an anime that never existed in the way everything flows together.
Cartoonish low poly speaks to the autistic soul. I wouldn't expect a subhuman namegay passbuyer to understand.
You'd expect right, I grew up on Star Fox and Mario 64.
I don't understand why you guys can't get your anime game up.
you had to be there
>>you had to be there
I think so too. I see fans of the game and I wonder what it was like.
I had some PS games, but they were all Tekken, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. The few times I got an anime experience, I had borrowed a game or two from my friends.
it gives me a warm, happy feeling to play in a world where people trust me to solve their problems, and I develop relationships with them over time with them because of it. Voice acting is great, low poly/pixelated textures are pretty, great characters with lots of chemistry, and the overarching dungeon that connects the whole underground is pretty innovative when you think about it.
And tron bonne is delicious iron panty dicky.
It gives me a warm, happy feeling to know that every single homosexual in this thread is a b***h for israeli power. I look forward to seeing you all die on a sidewalk.
Jesus H. Christ.
I think I get it. Maybe the game will be fun with filters.
A Legends game in the gameplay style of MonHun or Dragon's Dogma would be fricking huge and probably able to completely revitalize the series.
But I don't know why the frick capcom refuses to touch the series with a ten-foot pole.
Capcom wants to show off the RE engine as a graphical powerhouse, and cartoony/animu artstyles do not work for that
But Monster Hunter Rise is literally the newest MonHun?
Hopefully they have a single sane person in their ranks to tell them that this graphics arms race is bound to crash.
There should be another contest to design robot masters.
why is splash woman the only female
It's a mystery.
It's a man with Splashwo powers.
Some people at Capcom didn't believe women belong in a game for boys, and from what i remember Inafune didn't want then to make too many female robot masters because it would get old fast.
hornet man was going to be hornet woman but they thought it'd make splash woman's uniqueness be devalued. then they put her on music cover artwork stuff anyway
my wife quake woman
Gay ass OC
I want Quake Woman to crush my dick with a handy from her GIANT hands
Western made characters are always trash.
buzz buzz
I mean, they just took the design and wrote some dialogue for her.
Comet Woman is decent
Not a Western character
what the frick is this
archie comics got to adapt classic mega man for a few years, it had some fun stuff and it had some dumb stuff. then it crossed over with archie sonic twice, the first time actually fricking up the sonic comic because of Ken Penders lawsuits at the time necessitating all of his characters being wiped from the board in that long, long series, and the second time being more of a lame "Sega and Capcom with Sonic and Mega at the forefront".
when Archie lost the rights to Sonic, around the same time Mega Man just sorta ended abruptly and died off for the comics while setting up Super Rockman Adventure if I remember right.
SAR was the completed arc immediately after the first crossover, the death throws after the second crossover were setting up MM4 and the MMK/Genesis Unit/Quint arc
Shitty Sonic crossover OC, except for the Bee girl. They literally just stole her design from an unused Robot Master for Megaman 9 and gave her a different name.
Quake's not actually related to Sonic whatsoever. She's just an OC cooked up for Archie's shit.
Like I said, a shitty Sonic crossover OC.
i don't think that's how that works but you do you, m8
Sonicgays are such brown nosing ass kissers kek
Shut up, Black person.
wait until you meet Chrono Trigger fans
I have seen them. Every fandom pales in comparison when it comes to both a parasitic nature of latching onto better franchises and autism when it comes to Sonic.
>Parasitic nature
Kirby
>Latching onto better franchises
Kirby
>Autism
Kirby
Kirby only subsumes lesser franchises thoughever
Still pales in comparison to fricking Sonic the eternal buck broken cuck
>Genogays Won
>Bandana goomba gays still seething
Crossing over with Sonic ain't that bad
Atleast it wasn't with Kirby
Looks like a boss b***h who needs no man.
Breakman's first rape victim
didn't sell, that's how the world works
I have the feeling they are not gonna follow any of the established sub series
I think they'll probably just do a soft-reboot sort of deal if we get anything beyond classic. With something like X, you can basically just come up with any robot rebellion sorta deal and have the same beats, without bringing up any of the past stuff.
It's literally the exact same game every time. They made around 20 of the mainline and X games, all of which are still legally playable and easily obtainable on modern hardware. It's time to let go anon
You say MegaMan i say Ape Escape
yeah man such a fricking drought
got nothing to play here
>DURRR GUYS THERE WERE A LOT OF GAMES 20-30 YEARS AGO WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING
I wonder what game I should play today mega anniversary collection for the PS2 or Megaman anniversary collection for the Xbox. So many choices!
>megaman fan only sees 2 games when there's millions
Sad!
over the course of a couple years i played literally all the ones i want to play. what else am i gonna play? rockman soccer?
>he hasn't played rockman soccer
fricking poser get out of my board
There's literally only been 2h of new content in the series in over a decade.
>Not releasing endless shitty sequels is... LE BAD
30XX scratches the itch well enough for me. I enjoyed having to git gud to complete the challenges for the second ending. Co-op is a nice bonus and I enjoy playing it with my son.
No other game is really going to get closer at this point.
swapping weapons with the right stick was as much of a gamechanger as adding the slide and charged shot.
jay eazy has done for more in the past 4 years for mega man than capcom
japanese "zombie franchise", I don't know anyone irl who likes megaman
I'm pretty sure the director for MM11 doesn't even work at Capcom anymore. I don't think we're going to see a genuine Mega Man title for a while.
Yeah, he got roped into helping with finishing SF6, and then left.
roll casket was my first waifu.
i've never had a gf.
>first
Did you get pissed that she sold the weapons?
yes, but she need to cost the ship.
btw. i was like 10 years old when i made her my first waifu.
Mega Man 11 is the best classic Mega Man, by far, but because shitters didn't play it on super hero difficulty, and are a bunch of boomers who don't even know what they want, the game didn't do as good as it could have been and Capcom doesn't see the point of bothering making more Mega Man games
Also frick RPG players and the entire battle network series, what a boring garbage concept
he’s too busy collabing with gacha
Mega Man Thrives on being challenging, Capcom don't wanna make challenging games because big corporations think that challenging games don't sell, and yes, dark souls is an anomaly and they don't believe they can pull off something like that. Big corporations are only interested in goyslop.
SF collection when?
after sf4
Capcom is funding X Corruption and rebranding it as X9, this is a well know fact around japan's gaming private circles. Probably launching summer next year
That's how you know it's never coming out
Ebin LARP
There is no one working at Capcom who has both the pull necessary to get a new Megaman game approved and is willing to stick their neck out for Megaman. It's still one of the face franchises for them so there are certain expectations that have to be met (yes even after X-Dive). Classic is the only series that primarily gets stuff because of this and even then there's big gaps between 9/10 and 11 and now. Picking up X right where it left off with X8 almost 20 years ago is a tall ask. Rebooting X like with Maverick Hunter kinda involves making the first game or an introductory game again with the spin being served in the middle or at the end and then needing to make more games to follow up on that, so if the first game doesn't perform well enough to get sequels it's binned. That's before considering any gameplay changes they'd make to try and reach more people. Every other sub-series is basically out of the question. Making an entirely new sub-series risks alienating the still existing fans so you can't quite count on those people to buy it. So Megaman will get collections and re-releases fevery other generation and a new Classic game sometimes until they decide to stop doing that and he's just crossover or branding bait.
Why is it that alot of the Anons here put megaman 7 so low in their lists I've always found it to be one of the better classic games unless there are flaws i'm not seeing.
I think it's fine, but not my favorite. Mostly has to do with how bosses react to their weakness weapons, so I just go buster-only on most of them. Freeze Man has one of the better robot master fights (when doing buster-only) in the series, though.
Specifically to mystify you. I often say opinions about games to make morons think the opposite of reality. It makes me feel powerful. I can type a single sentence and make you feel something.
7 is probably up there with 8 for most "love it or hate it". It changes a lot of shit and is closer in design to the Game Boy games than it is NES Mega Man, which had a lot of people really dislike it. Some even go so far as to accuse Capcom of lowballing for 7 just to make X look better, though I figure that's bullshit.
>Some even go so far as to accuse Capcom of lowballing for 7 just to make X look better, though I figure that's bullshit.
You're pulling this out of your ass.
You see a lot of this shit from crazy fans over a decade of unstopped obsession with spite and retroactive hatred, anon. I'm sure some of these people may not of thought that shit but once MM fans felt burned some just went fricking nutjob, practically /misc/ conspiracy theorist except "why does capcom hate mega man so much".
Thanks for framing it in an anti-white stance, you fricking israelite. And remember, it's never too late to immigrate to Israel!
There was a lot of subsequent instances of Capcom seemingly shitting on Mega Man specifically that pissed off a lot of Mega Man fans. Mega Man Universe was a weird game that got cancelled. Legends 3 being cancelled with the demo and that whole fiasco. MM10 was the last mainline Mega Man game for a while and that was 2010. Capcom may have had good reasons for cancelling those games, especially with Inafune fricking off, but it wasn't a good luck. Then you had every Mega Man fan running to Mighty No. 9 like a battered housewife only for that to be shit.
I think Capcom redeemed themselves with Mega Man 11 at least, and even if that's the last big release Mega Man gets for a while, I'm content with it. I think everyone agrees that it could have used some extra modes or Proto Man at least though.
>i think
>i think
I think you're a milquetoast homosexual. Suck my dick.
I'm fully aware of all of that, but the amount of absolute buffonery that occurred was still inexcusable. I saw some people showing so much support that X got the number 1 spot on most voted for UMvC3, only for Capcom to completely ignore him until the frickery with MvCI, while other people lost their marbles. There's still people that wish death on executives over the L3 prototype, ignoring that Inafune did the entire project without any official funding like with Dead Rising and Capcom had absolutely no reason to keep it around the instant he left the company.
It's just one massive stain on a legacy that created its own "sonic autism clusterfrick" of sorts, except some people were justified and kept their heads and others were not.
>I'm fully aware of all of that
>it's weird
>i think
>i think
So you're both effeminate morons?
I really have to say, you are a stupid fricking israelite. Did you think I was agreeing with you? What compelled you to type this post? Holy shit the israeli people are stupid.
>You see a lot of this shit from crazy fans over a decade of unstopped obsession with spite and retroactive hatred
You mean zoomers? These kids who have only experienced Mega Man launch with Mega Man 11? I don't give a frick about your opinion on Mega Man if you were born in '99 or later.
They did it lowball MM7, but I don't think it was malicious. It was just typical 90's Capcom israelitery of low budgets and small development times.
You can tell just from the translation in the beginning of the game that it had mere months of development time. Compared to MMX where they basically blew their entire load on just that game.
They have bad taste
>Zero 3
>MHX
>S tier
Talk about bad taste
Problem?
The Zero series in general is great
Don't be a homosexual
Yes anon, ignore 9 and 10. Ignore that it also came back from the dead and returned with those games as well.
Classic Megaman was dead before 9/10 but the series as a whole was still alive. They were still making ZX/Zero/X games in the years leading up to 9.
I went from playing ZX Advent to playing 9. Would have preferred ZXC though. Still want ZXC.
Capcom disrespected the fujos
>dude why is there no Megaman games
>hundred of title counts for a decade or two
>all sells like shit
>duurrrr why is there no Megaman games
Kys homosexuals, you are the reason why the franchise has gone to shit
Imagine such a garbage series that all creators associated with it left Capcom after 1-2 games and put it into another limbo again
I dunno fellas. Do you think we get the hint that we're homosexuals for wanting a continuation of a beloved franchise despite its many entries prior or do we need to be told a few more times?
>wanting another disappointment/failure to tarnish the Megaman name again for 10 years
yeah
in my headcannon protoman was part of a defense contract that got light the funding he needed for the entire series of robot masters. the only way light could live with making a military robot was by giving it the ability to defy orders it didn't agree with.
Light actually got the funding from the RIT.
Isn't the general lore around Protoman that Dr. Wily modified him to be a more combat ready robot, after he had fled home?
I think we just need someone at Capcom who's willing to take on Mega Man as a small passion project. Another problem is marketing. Mega Man 11 did not have any real marketing behind it. Anyway current Capcom wants to go full AAA with their games. So if a Mega Man game is in production it must be a wonder project with a AAA budget idea.
Honestly? The same can be accomplished via a really good fan game that blows up. Look at AM2R.
It's not gonna happen, Mega Man is cursed. Inafune leaves, nobody wants to touch the franchise for years. One guy finally stands up and says he wants to make Mega Man, directs MM11, and then leaves shortly after SF6. The position of directing this series is cursed.
2006.
why was there so much megaman autism in the 2000s and then suddenly stopped
Because the games stopped. Can't get new fans without new games.
People who grew up with the NES/SNES titles got onto internet, did a bunch of fan art, discussion and what not, and eventually moved on.
This basically. Mega Man never broke out of the boomer fanbase into younger generations. Only BN kind of did but it wasn't enough to carry the entire franchise.
BN games got their fair share of discussion and such in the early 2000s, but back then they used to be separate from the platformer mega man fans.
They still kind of are
Megaman hasn't drawn in new fans since like 09. All that's left are oldgays.
Oldgays aren't moronic enough to stay. I'm one of them.
You're just stuck with zoomers endlessly talking about the games (see /vg/) as they're currently playing them and when they reach the end and all caught up, they end up where oldgays used to be. Zoomers now have an outlet (twitter, Ganker) to express their frustration to no end (eg; this thread).
"What now?"
>Oldgays aren't moronic enough to stay. I'm one of them.
Yes they are and no you're not, you play yourself every time
X1 was my first game on my brother's SNES. I just love me some blue bomber.
Inafune was pushing for Megaman, Capcom used this to start pushing BILLIONS of toys for Battle Network and Starforce and they even got anime, then Battle Network ended and Starforce couldn't keep it going all on its own so it lost a lot of traction that way. Console Megaman was buried under portable Megaman and never found its footing since they backtracked so hard after X7. Inafune leaves, Legends 3 gets canned because no one internally wanted it besides him, no one's willing to pick up the mantle and helm the series afterwards to the point they had Inti do 9 and 10.
Because Inafune had a lot of clout in the company that time for a few major reasons like the dissolution of the arcades and the decrease sales of fighting games. He had some of the shittiest takes though. It's funny how many blame the focus on Western gaming as why Megaman died even though Inafune was the spearhead of that thought process in the late 2000's for the company. He tried to crash and burn a lot of Capcom franchises meanwhile gave special treatment to what he saw as his own.
What's the motherfricker even do nowadays? The whole MN9 thing tore his reputation to shreds, god knows the kind of people that would hire his ass.
Last I heard, he was working at Level 5, but that was a couple years ago.
I suppose he had to go somewhere. I ain't played none of those games.
Inafune is working on Fantasy Life i. He presented the game at TGS a couple weeks ago.
I remember pretty much every promotion for Gunvolt 3 made sure to let the audience know Inafune was the Action Director for that game.
Given that it's practically negative advertisement for the game, I imagine Inafune himself wanted to make sure people attached his name to a better game after MN9
The israelites murdered JFK, bombed the USS Liberty, and bombed the Twin Towers. Haha, cute image pyon~!
Yes. Off the israelites
Your gay AI images do not give me the adherence to the cause.
That's official art, dumbass.
Grim.
The only grim thing is your inability to distinguish real drawings from AI.
I'm shitposting. AI is going to get uber-fricked though, and you're the moron if you're not prepared.
We'll always have ways to distinguish it.
>we
Yeah, I do.
Wow. That is just so sad.
It's all so sad.
>god knows the kind of people that would hire his ass.
Aizu, the big cheese at IntiCreates. Despite everything, Inafune is still a major reason they managed to get off the floor as a separate company I imagine, given that every game they made before MMZ pretty much bombed. Was probably the one who got in contact with them to make 9, too. Almost sad how things ended up.
Keyword: almost. As it stands, I feel nothing but contempt.
So you're clearly a gaijin in a company that hates you. How can I donate to get you kicked out of Japan like that one Black person?
What the frick are you talking about?
Suck my balls, you filthy yid. Burn in hell where you belong.
>fans want mega man back
>it comes back but here is this forced gimmick fricking slow down time trash no one asked for
>here are these ugly fricking 2.5D graphics
>Mega Man sounds like he's 27 despite looking like he's 12
>most forgettable OST in the series
frick this game
You don't even need to use either gear system if you don't want to. The game is completely beatable without them.
True, but I do see a bit more overlap these days.
>time slow trash
Is completely optional, you can beat the game without touching it once
>ugly 2.5D graphics
Actually does 2.5D graphics better than a lot of other 2.5D platformers, platforms all have distinct edges and don't have the problem of blending into each other. This is a problem I had a lot with games like Tropical Freeze, a piece of shit game that way more people praise than MM11 for some godawful reason.
>Mega Man sounds 27
Stop being a dubgay, it has Japanese voices
>most forgettable OST in the series
This one I can't deny, 11's OST is a let down compared to the rest of the series. I use a mod that replaces them with 8-bit fanmade versions that sound a bit more catchy.
>dude just uses japanese voices in a Megaman game
end yourself
Mega Man is a Japanese franchise, why is that weird?
Megaman is iconic for its hilariously bad voice acting, regardless of language. If you're changing terrible voice choices for decent ones, you're part of the problem.
Anon said he doesn't like English Rock's voice, so he's clearly not one of those people.
That makes no sense, you sound like one of those twats who won't watch foreign films with subtitles.
You sound like you're open to new ideas, so the israelites murdered JFK, bombed the USS LIberty, and bombed the Twin Towers. Also the scamdemic was them poisoning half of the world's population. Were you among them?
As always, I've found that you can't say shit aside from smug images. You are a israelite, you know you're a israelite, and the walls are closing in.
If you're not japanese, it ruins the immersion
I mean it's not like you had a choice in the Zero games. Or the first ZX.
Were ZX games really so bad that they put the whole franchise in coma?
They had some dumb design choices but they weren't that bad. Or at least I didn't think they were.
>I didn't think
I'm willing to accept that maybe other people didn't like them. But I did.
What do you think about israeli men raping innocent children?
I also enjoyed both. And I think both are better than Inti's next thing Gunvolt.
The sales were. The games were very okay with the biggest issue being the poor handling of multiple forms. And personally, the weakness system is fricking moronic. I still got both at launch though.
it was mostly oversaturation like battle network
but they were both somewhat downgrades from zero and inti didn't seem to know where to go with the gameplay, nor could they grasp what a good metroidvania needed
That was the first strike, then the second strike was the two PSP remakes not selling well, and the third strike was 10 selling a lot less than 9.
No, anon. Third strike was Capcom's other franchise
Inticreates was even more inconsistent than Capcom regarding Megaman, leaving a ton of shit muddy and unclear so it's no wonder people dipped eventually. I remember when the Zero games were still fresh and people hated them.
>and people hated them
Why? Zero games were cool.
Art style change, cloudy lore that's mostly Inti's fault, and basically just killing off X and Zero
I recall people liking the Zero games well enough when I discussed them on forums back in 00s. There always was some bickering over the art style or screen crunch, but they still had an audience.
Didn't sell as well as classic or X games though, of course.
tfw played so much megaman for decades that I cant enjoy it anymore
I played mmx until the metal strips on the cart wore off
Holy kino game
>born too early for e-girlmaiddaughterbots
Just end my existence
You can't keep loving her if you stop existing.
>the two PSP remakes not selling well
Words can't describe my rage when I found out that those weren't planned to be one-offs. I really, really wanted more, especially the Classic games.
Is Mega Man still the franchise with the most videogames, or has it been eclipsed?
Pretty sure Mario has Mega Man beat.
Megaman 8 was the best one and nobody liked it. That's why Megaman doesn't stand a chance anymore.
Series was too oversaturated with spinoffs in the 2000s
>Legends 2, Adventures,
>Battle Network 1,2,3,4,5,6
>Zero 1,2,3,4
>ZX 1,2
>Star Force 1,2,3
Like holy frick, I get you wanna branch him out but there was some serious fatigue when tons of spinoffs kept coming out every few months
megaman reminds me of an older time when things were more simple
>beating gays
>troons didn't exist
>jews were slightly less egregious
Yep, it's time to crack open a sip.
>Megaman 11 is 5 years old already
Frick im old
And yet the perfect girl stays the same. I love it.
MM11 is great, except the music is really forgettable and not really like the other MM games
I'm playing the Saturn version of 8 right now and my god, Capcom robbed everyone by only re-releasing the Playstation version
>and my god
Honestly surprised to see this, but no. You are godless.

The israelites murdered JFK, bombed the USS Liberty, and bombed the twin towers. Then they convinced you and your inbred moron family to get the vax. How many boosters deep are you?
>AI Megaman includes a Black person b***h!
It's actually a street shitter
Did I stutter? Oh wait, you think Black person means anything other than non-white.
It doesn't, use the term properly you moronic inbred Black person.
>bringing up inbreeding out of nowhwere
I see you, you inbred israelite. Poor israelite boy deflecting.
>bringing up inbreeding out of nowhwere
Feeling called out, downie?
You are the one who brought up inbreeding. Thus, it is obvious that you are the one who is inbred. Sorry about your israeli upbringing!
>You are the one who brought up inbreeding.
>The israelites murdered JFK, bombed the USS Liberty, and bombed the twin towers. Then they convinced you and your inbred moron family to get the vax. How many boosters deep are you?
Also you
>Poor israelite boy deflecting.
POV: israelite boy getting scared that his tricks aren't working anymore. HAHAHA,CHAD! Also, the israelites are going to be genocided.
It's because Inafune left and he took his son, Megaman, with him during the divorce.
>look at the AI thread
>see some fricking great X designs
>Mega Man X9 NEVER EVER
Why even live?
AI is garbage, and so are you.
God, you politics gays are disgusting. Sick roaches have to infest literally every thread on Ganker, if it isn't already a politics thread. I'm posting this Roll in protest.
farter
frick off israelite. you're not fooling anyone.
Don't drag me into your shitty fantasy victim complex, homosexual.
>He literally was the capcom anniversary logo for the longest time.
You had to remind me.
it needs a massive reboot or something akin to legends, tronbonne or exe
dude, there's 11 main line games, 10 x spin-offs, xz, xy, turbo jdm editions, and clones ffs
how many megamans do you need? every year shitty garage that no one needs?
So I thought about making a 3D Mega Man. It sort of had controls similar to Monster Hunter with how you move, your weight, your jump, etc. I had two modes for camera: free mode and aiming mode. Free mode is typical third person movement used to move around with rotating camera. Aim mode puts the camera behind your shoulder. You could still move but Mega Man faces where you aim. You can dash in the direction you hold the control stick. There are no i-frames when dashing. So you have to be aware of your arena when moving. Shooting and sub-weapon are mapped to a trigger and bumper. Face buttons are used to jump, dash, kick (or uppercut with a full charge) and use item. Item selection worked by holding left bumper then selecting items or sub-weapons with either face buttons or right stick. Left trigger is your aim. You can tap left trigger to center camera behind Mega Man. There's a target cam for bosses and big enemies by clicking left and right stick where if you tap left trigger you center on the target.
I wanted to experiment with new controls for Legends 3. Especially with carrying up to three sub-weapons at a time and swapping them. Four if you include the grappling hook.
Frick man. I just wanted to talk about making 3D controls for Mega Man.
It was a mostly decent thread, up until the very end. No idea why some moronic 40 year old /misc/ dipshit decided to stink things up, but other than that it was fun talking MM and posting Rolls.
I'm glad it was at the end of the thread. I regret responding to him
Everyone makes mistakes, don't sweat it.
