I dunno, Nintendo celebrated SONIC's 20th and actively resisted saying anything about Metroid's 25th. It was pretty harsh. There's a comic and everything.
I liked ZX (not story). Can't ever get into Advent, though.

Gameplay was fine. It was a nice evolution. But story... I may be living in an endless euphoria for the Zero/X games, but that was some awful shit.

It's rare these days that a company can truly piss me off. Generally I just ignore them. Square turning Final Fantasy into a joke? I ignore them. EA and Ubisoft with their always online antics? I'll simply skip their games. Even Capcom's other repeated crap, like straight out lying about improved fighter versions; well, they all lie, don't they?
This is an exception, for some reason. Perhaps is the amazingly childish way Capcom has reacted to Inafune's departure. Perhaps it's the fact that nobody else can make Megaman games because they're fucking sitting on the IP. But the fact is that, maybe for the first time, I'm truly wishing that the person or people making these decisions lose their jobs, and find none to replace them.
I'm not proud of it, but that's what Capcom has achieved. Congratulations.

This would be too good for the world.

Man, never saw that before. Had me pumped.
Then I went limp after remembering it's dead as fuck.
My problems with the ZX games boiled down to two main issues.
1) The bloat - ZX and especially Advent gave you a whole lot of forms to play with. Too bad most of them are gimmicky at best or utterly useless at worst. And for all the hype that was present for being able to "Play as the Guardians!" at long last, they really didn't live up to it.
2) Terrible Map-layout - ZX was awful in this area, and Advent was only nominally better. I applaud Inti for trying to give life to the Rockman formula in this way, but they really needed a better way of going about it. It wouldn't have been so terrible if they cited Super Metroid/SOTN, if you ask me.
If a third ZX game did away with these two main qualms of mine, I would definitely be up to giving it another try. I loved the whole "Henshin" aspect, after all.

Oh look, Capcom still doesn't want my money. That's fine... They know where I'm at if they ever decide Mega Man means something, till then I can do without their lack luster Resident Evil and was never into Monster Hunter...

I picked the fucking worst time to be in a Mega Man mood since I'm playing through a bunch of 'em now.
This thread makes me feel all sore inside.

They toys are, they can't stop releasing them.
The amount of people surprised by this announcement: 0. That reminds me, I have to replay the Zero Collection and check out ZX.
A miserable pile of broken dreams.

Mega Man got Mega Manned.
Let's take a moment and remember this choice article from 2011:

Capcom Japan doesn't even seemingly get that we actually DO like Megaman over here in the West, which only further proves how disconnected they actually are.
Though I must wonder why they haven't at least tried to rally his base in Japan, yet. There are seemingly just as many fans who would love a X revival as there are for an EXE revival. And the 3DS would certainly be an apt place for either series.
