Remember back in the day when we used to hate Capcom for whoring MegaMan out too much?
Actually this was never me. I was happy to get an X game every year or so damn it.
Hell, I'm pretty sure Megaman X Corrupted is a flash game but the developer put much more effort than Capcom.
Yeah, but is this ever coming out?
I remember getting hyped for that last year. This thing, no matter how bad it is will be playable by other people.

Mega Man is back....in Pog form!
That looks terrible. Why is X super skinny and wearing a black catsuit underneath his gauntlets and greaves?
Of all the games that don't work on touch controls, something that requires a constant combination of jumping and shooting with pinpoint accuracy seems like an odd choice. Even Megaman 2 on IOS is awful and that only needs 2 buttons.
They should have just developed a new 2D game with controls that are based around the touch screen (like Ghost Trick) rather than use shitty on-screen buttons, but of course it's easier to whore out an old franchise based around tight button controls to gain some kind of recognition in an increasingly crowded market.
I love Megaman games, and have an iphone, but won't be touching this after being burned on various other 2D stuff that used similar interfaces.

If this comes out before the english Phoenix Wright 123 HD...
SHIT! How do you do this? How do you screw this up? I don't understand! It just looks like a disaster on all fronts, looks bad gameplay, intrusive interface, Newgrounds/Flash-type graphics (as has been pointed out earlier)....what?
What the fuck...seriously? "But you guys wanted Mega Man games! Here's Mega Man! Don't you like Mega Man, you guys keep shouting and complaining about it! Why don't you want it?"
...
I'm waiting for Megaman X: Corrupted. That thing has been taking around 4 years, but the programmer had to rebuild most of it recently or something of the sort according to the Facebook page for that game.
Zero Series is pretty good, by the way. 2 or 3 are the best, but I'd vote 3.
You'd think nothing could go wrong, just make solid cases. But it could go so horribly, horribly wrong.

I refuse to consider this official.
I officially have no more feelings to give to capcom, I'm just going to assume EX TROOPERS is going to be cancelled and save myself a lot of bother.
Oh and think Megaman an invention of Archie cuz, you know, they actually are DOING SOMETHING with the franchise rather than this nonsense.

As a side, would totally play a Sword Art Online game that had Rougelike ideas for your save file should you cop it.
What's this from?
Sword Art Online; an anime that's airing this season (on Crunchyroll if you're so enclined) that is about people stuck in a RPG that will basically matrix them should they die (as not kyon here was doing)

Um...where are all the shadows on the cast? I see a small gradient going on the Metool's helmets but Megaman is super saturated. and none of them cast any shadows. It makes them look out of place and slapped on. The concept of an all megaman crossover 2d game is good. As an RPG maaaaaaaaaybe. It'd at least be doable storyline wise, but really something like this should be handled Mega Man X style with different runs as different characters presents different challenges on all the stages and possibly different paths to access with them.
I'm sorry, but this needs more work Capcom. It looks cheap even for iPhone tie ins. Not really the best way to bring back a character people are begging for. Right idea putting them all in a game, but it looks really poorly executed and not all of us own apple products.

Just saw this thread. Happy to see these reactions dominate the first page.

Not even Sonic ever hit rock bottom this hard. 06 wishes it could hold a candle to how badly trashed the Megaman franchise has become. Just holy shit.
I am laughing at all of the reactions in this thread as a means of coping with my bitter disappointment with the look of this new game.
Mega Man is my favorite gaming franchise. Heck, I am a big fan of Battle Network and Star Force. I own both the GBA releases of Mega Man Zero and the DS Collection. I even kinda like the iOS port of Megaman 2, wonky as it is. I would have bought anything that half-way resembled a decent Mega Man game. I don't think this game even approaches that simple standard.
What the heck happened to the decent sprite artists anyways? It seems like they were around making good looking DS games only three or four years ago, but Square Enix and Capcom both have been putting out games with rather lousy sprite-work in the last couple of years. When the iOS craze took off, did they take it as a sign to fire all of their good sprite artists for some backwards reason?

Isn't Archie making a Mega Man x Sonic comic?
I don't think that's any better.

And people thought that Capcom would never make another Rockman game.
fuck

And to Flynn's credit, he's writing the comic rather decently. I like the Spiritus Ex Machina arc a lot, and it's surprisingly weaving in some stuff from Super Adventure Rockman in addition to MM3.
I think this arc's better than the last two, anyway, especially with the AI debates and subtle nods to that.

I guess this is what Svensson was trolling talking about last year.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...anchise-fatigue-and-more.aspx?PostPageIndex=1Change has been a constant during my six years at Capcom (vastly for the positive) but I want to be crystal clear on this point. Mega Man is a key brand for Capcom and will remain so. I don’t have any products we’ve announced publicly that I can point to and say “see, I told you” but there are “top men” (“top men”? “Yes, top men”within Capcom thinking about the future of the brand and where it’s going. We will have official announcements in due course.
This is absolutely an issue that keeps me up at night. Unfortunately there are times that we have to make decisions that don’t make sense to the community and the fallout, while understandable is regrettable. Our relationships with fans are extremely important and I know we’ve got some that are disenfranchised right now.
Unfortunately, in this situation, there is no panacea. It’s going to take time to rebuild those bridges. Product cycles are long and it’ll be a little while until fans can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And the last thing I want to do is prematurely announce something in the name of sating the fans that gets cancelled or redirected later, thereby creating an even larger wound. I can only ask for people’s patience.

Is this supposed to be that Korean based Megaman MMORPG?
I thought the whole idea of it was that MM classic finally meets X?

No that's a different game and looks at least a 100 times better that this garbage, check it yourself:

Instead of Rockman X over, the title should be Rockman IS over, it would give the players a more accurate message about the game.

Yeah, it was playable after you fixed the camera setting (don't know why they had a zoomed in setting).
haha, perfect
and you are part of the problem for buying and praising it
I'm showing Capcom that there's still an interest in Mega Man by buying the game. It played well and it's a fast way to get my MMX fix when I'm out and about.
Korea does what Japandon't.

I only immediately recognized Rock and X at first glance and I thought the game was finally going to be the game that ties the classic series to the X series.
Then I saw the screens.
God damnit.
