As a guy training to work in the industry that has all the Mega Man games and was born on Mega Man's birthday, it's my dream to design a westernized remake of all the sub-series combined. I've already designed the world map and written a lot of the story and gameplay concepts.
...someone has to believe ;_;

As a big Mega Man fan, it really saddens me to hear projects getting canned left and right, especially Legends 3, but it seems everyone has expressed their distaste in that decision. Personally I would have loved to see what they could've done with Mega Man Online, the idea of just building your own reploid or maverick seems awesome. The customization could have been really deep and entertaining (imagine a reploid mmx style with storm eagle wings).
I hope Capcom's spree of cancelling mega man games is at its end. With Mega Man's 25th birfday coming up, I really hope they have some nice announcements planned. Bring back Mega Man X!!

I had to make this.
Change Android 16 to Capcom and Cell to Mega Man and you sir would be spot on I say, spot on.
Hahaha.
Don't even joke about that. Don't.

A miserable pile of announcements.
It's obvious they decided Megaman Xover is a better platform to launch the long awaited mistery on which megaman is better

Be sorry for him

This is absolutely amazing and terrible at the same time.

The chairmans at capcom? Im pretty sure they dont give a shit what the fans think about them and think megaman is a thing of the past.
They only want to win more money and see that western action games can make lots right now.
Applause!

The cancellation was known about since May: http://www.mmoculture.com/2012/05/rockman-online-game-gets-canceled/
They could do that, just pull Mega Man 9 & 10 from digital distribution services. Hell, they could pull the PSX downloads too.
Make the iOS game the ONLY Mega Man game available to purchase. What a way to boost profits!
Or that still wouldn't sell and they can bury the IP forever.

I remember all the avys I made for this game two years ago. 
Memories.
Memories.

Don't worry guys. I am sure they are secretly reallocating the funds for all the cancelled games to some American studio so they can reboot Mega Man and make him more gritty, brooding and relatable to Western audiences.
Oh god I hope I didn't just accidentally predict the future.

You honestly believe there's never going to be any [attempts at making] good Mega Man games ever again?

When the chairmans understand they are doing wrong or are changed. If we have any luck.
If not, the best thing you will se are iOS games of megaman, or turn it some time into a kind of western shooter.
I would love to be wrong though.

Looks like some of the music came out. Sounds a little... generic. Still, it's pretty cool to see.

The next step is they find a way to cancel Mega Man games they have already released 25 years ago. Capcom will find a way!
Dead Megaman always makes me laugh.

What's funny is that Mega Man didn't even get really bad. It was pretty good up until the end. You had the retro revival games as well as solid (but not great) titles like the ZX ones. It's not like the franchise hit rock bottom; it was doing well in terms of keeping the overall quality up there. There may have been some issues of over-saturation with Starforce/EXE but that's it.
Sonic the Hedgehog, as a franchise, got shit on several times but eventually hit a stride, and now it's back to having relatively decent regular releases. Sega didn't let it go, even when it was at an all-time low. Meanwhile, Capcom is pulling a Mother and treating Mega Man like it doesn't exist, even though the franchise hadn't yet bottomed out.
It's hard to see such a beloved and historical IP getting the shaft like this.

I doubt they even really got much done. The whole thing felt shaky from the start. Now that everything that once was being worked on is effectively gone, I wonder what's next. I say they've been hiding much more.
Well, the only NES Mega Man I've ever beaten was 1, 9, and 10. I can't really get into them personally and I prefer SNES and PS1 classic.
He needs to be truly gritty. Make him look like a Twilight character who can turn into a Transformer at will. Then change the E-tanks to cigarettes and we're off to the races.

I thought this game was canceled already.
Same. At least over a year.
