Phife Dawg said:No, he said lower. By how much is anyone's guess. At least we know it is performing to Capcom's expectations.
It had to be done.
Well played, sir!
Still though. It's pretty retarded when you think about it. The remnants of Capcom/Clover have only ANNOUNCED one game for the Wii, and they've already treated it better than the actual Capcom has.

For what purpose? A 2D Mega Man game really wouldn't gain much from being on a console as opposed to being on the DS.
The best side-scrolling Mega Man games are on the GBA, after all.
I'm still looking forward towards that rumored MegaMan release for the Wii. Especially since this last year has been pretty dry for the traditional Rockman fan...ZX Advent was the last bastion for us, and now we don't even have a ZX3 to keep us tied over!
But...the Zero games were good because of the merit of how well their games played, not because they were on the GBA. If they were on the PSX/PS2 or GC, like the other titles during that time frame, they would have been even better off.
Is it too much to ask that we just want a decent 2D Rockman game on a console, instead of having to squint our eyes and also account for being able to see less around us?
I accepted the GBA as a medium to play the games, because they seemed to be the only option at that time. But please believe that if they ever had the gall to make a RMZ quality Rockman on a console, that would be the day that I think would be ripe for rejoicing.
I can only hope that the reason Inti has been quiet for so long, might be because they and Capcom may have been interested in trying the Wii for a spell, rather than just the DS again and again...

Wasn't ZXA announced last April or so? ZX3 should be out by CAPTIVATE08, at the least. I've heard a couple of strange rumours about the game, too.
My point was that since such good experiences can be had on handhelds already, why bother with needing a console experience? Part of the reason why Capcom keeps greenlighting the Mega Man Zero/ZX sequels is simply because they have a low budget, so the relatively low sales can make returns for them. The move to a console wouldn't add much in terms of enjoyment (for me, anyway), and it'd be far more expensive, and it would be unlikely to see an equivalent increase in sales. A no-win situation, as far as I'm concerned.

Cuz I would like to play one on a console.
The DS games are nice, but I prefer playing with a controller on a larger screen.
Pureauthor said:
It was actually first around February/March last year, if I remember correctly, just like it was January/February for ZX the first. So, going by usual trends for how they operated for the ZX and Zero series, they're quite late this time around.
Again, like I stated above, I would certainly excuse the overall lack of ZX3, if it meant that Inti and Capcom were going to possibly do a Wii game for a spell. Maybe a side-story starring the Shi-ten-ou/Guardians, instead of those relatively lame "Rock On" forms that can't hope to match their awesome? I'd like that...
But any way...what are those "strange rumors" you've heard, hm?

I'm reaaly not sure why anyone would expect Capcom to improve their support for the Wii when they're pretty much the only Japanese developer whose HD strategy is actually working.
The way things have gone so far it wouldn't make sense to be a Wii only Capcom fan if you ever owned a PS2... or a Gamecube...

Basically fanboy wetdreams. Prequel with playable Prometheus and Pandora (nice alliteration, there), backstory on Albert and the Game of Destiny, etc.

Because they can always do more. And besides, things like Z&W, Mega Man, Sengoku BASARA and others are begging to be released for the sake of the Wii-faithful who desires them.
Besides, while their HD strategy is "working", keep in mind that the HD consoles are still last place in Japan. If they want to weasel into the market of the one who's in the lead, they got franchises they can turn to in order to get that.

Yes I agree of course. I'm just not overly optimistic at this point.The-Switcher said:

I hope they announce a sequel to Umbrella Chronicles. That game is fantastic.

I hope they announce the RE2 Wiimake using the RE4 engine.
That's the only "old" stuff I'm gonna tolerate anymore.

I've been a Capcom fan for a long, looong time and it's never seemed to me that they care which console's in the lead. Their mindset (whether out on cockiness or confidence) is that they can sell on any machine regardless of userbase. The fact that they have probably made more profits from PSP than Sony has kind of backs that up.
I would personally love to see some new IP stuff from Capcom on Wii (Z&W was freakin' awesome) but I'm not holding my breath.
Saint Gregory said:
Then explain why they predominantly supported the SNES over the Genesis, the PSX (and Saturn, I guess?) over the 64, as well as the PS2 over GC and Xbox?
Of course they CARE. They're in the business of making money, so of course they have to realize who the market leader is, and market to that console accordingly. And of course, it also means that they're not at all opposed to supporting the competition too, which is why we've had such variety from Capcom across a number of platforms.
The only difference is, this time around, the market leader isn't exactly conducive to what kind of things they wanted to do (HD games). So while they realize who the leader is, they'll continue to pursue those plans, even if it does mean that they'll take a possible hit for the costs such games demand.
But the way I see it, they can afford to take the hit, because for right now they can just do shovelwave and ports on the Wii, accentuated with new, low-budget stuff that sells well (BASARA, Rockman), and maybe the off-hand ambitious project like Monster Hunter 3, and they'll more than make up for it.

I wonder what they're planning other than RE:zero... it seems that only the RE games sell anyways, and sell alot they do... definitely enough to allow them to take risks.

Precisely. Put a little money into some R&D. It's pretty obvious that some people would buy it, based solely on the strength of the Megaman Brand. But if you actually take time and work on a formula, you can refine it to whatever system/controller style you like.

How awesome would that be?
Seriously. I can't think of another Capcom franchise more suitable for the Wii then Power Stone.

Now, I've been happy with RE4 and Okami ports... MORE than happy, they are fantastic games (RE4 is one of the best ever, still playing through Okami but I love them for giving me the chance to play it now).. as far as ports go they are 2 fantastic choices.
But shit like RE0 just doesn't fly with me, don't need ports of a game that we can already play on the system... unless its an earth shattering one of the best games ever and now plays EVEN BETTER than before meaning I'll want to replay it over and over and over again (RE4). Thats the only exception.
I'm sick of this test crap, especially considering the fact that we keep passing them, give us more real games like Z&W. >_>
Their HD stuff is working though so thats where their true support lies sadly it seems.

Happy pickings.
Seriously, I do hope that Capcom will give the Wii some more love, by far the best third party. Absolutely adored Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition (which I didn't expect because I allready owned the Cube version), Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles is a nice and decent game and I just bought Zack & Wiki and it's full off win. Next month Okami and I'm a happy camper.

Heh well that's what I want Mega Man Legends 3(make it happen Capcom) to be. It's just it's taking Capcom too long to announce MML3. At least let me know if you're making the game Capcom, I don't care what system it shows up on,even though I expected it to show up on the PS2 but now I think it'll show up on the Wii. The world needs more TRON BONNE, and no gaf the cell phone game doesn't count.........that still hurts me.
The-Switcher said:
Second this. Sure, it would just be a thing of riding on Smash's popularity, but it would be a perfect fit for the system. Frankly, I'm surprised they've waited this long to try Power Stone with the Nintendo demographic; I would have imagined that a compilation of the original two games on the GCN or Wii years ago (as opposed to the PSP), probably would have sold better, and would have given people something to tide them over until Brawl.
Capcom! Don't make the same mistake again! The world needs Power Stone, and there's plenty of reason to think that the Wii would be perfect for it. Release it within the coming months, after most might start getting tired of Brawl, and it would be perfect way to snatch up fans.
It would be a definite DAY 1 (Import) purchase for me, to say the least. :lol
{QUOTE=jarrod]PS2 ports seem to messy and complicated... I think we'll get REmake (which might come bundled with RE0 here) and/or a VJoe 1+2 double pack. Maybe Gotcha Force too! <3 <3[/QUOTE]
...O_O
...Some one else loved Gotcha Force too?
*hugs jarrod tightly* MY FRIEND!!!!!!!
Seriously though, that game was awesome, but I think the fact that it was stuck on the GC AND didn't have the Gundam license killed it.
But maybe another try on the Wii?
