I just heard there’s going to be another Mega Man game. At this point I’m wondering if they have anything to contribute to modern platforming at all. By the time Shovel Knight came out new MM was already looking kind of tedious, and now compared to things like Gravity Circuit, what exactly is the point? Are we just going to reprise the gear system? Is there enough material in that for a whole game worth of new ideas?

And the fans are once again anticipating that it'll be Mega Man Legends 3.

Look, Capcom has apparently made it known that they're not interested. They're either going to continue the classic line because reasons, make up a spin-off or make an entirely new Mega Man game.

I just want a Mega Man game where he goes from classic to X to bridge those series together.

  What do you mean? Capcom immediately announced it as classic Mega Man 12, and showed gameplay too, no one is expecting it to be Legends 3.

  I’d really love to see MMX: Corrupted get finished. They seem to be doing new things within that space at least

    I keep following it, it keeps looking awesome, it keeps not being done. :(

    C’est la vie. I envy their determination.

when capcom were working with inti creates, they were reliably putting out good games at a time when indie developers weren’t - at least in that genre. now they put out one mediocre game every ten years.

It’s kinda sad that they need that name/franchise so bad to sell games. I loved mega man as a kid, but honestly, it’s nothing special. Even as a big fan, i didn’t like the tv show, or anything about mega man, just the games. And even they were kinda clunky and the best part was that you could pick your playing order and steal other robots powers. That is not really enough for a good game. There are hundreds of indie games that are better platformers or games with better lore and everything.

  We mostly agree.

Mega man is comfort food. I don’t expect it to do anything new. I just want it to be decent.
