Title: "Mega Man Universe" Trademarked by Capcom - Whatever could this be..?
Post by: Jericho on April 27, 2010, 05:40:06 PM
It would seem as though Siliconera has found a really interesting tidbit in a recent trademark filed by Capcom. Capcom's USA branch has trademarked the title "Mega Man Universe" and the fans are getting down to the guess work. So far, folks have thought of everything, from things as modest as new art book series to a new full fledged MT Framework flagship blue bomber entry on consoles. Whatever this may turn out to be, it's sure to keep us guessing as the only info we have is said name.

Quote from: Siliconera
Perhaps, Mega Man Universe is their next major Mega Man project. Capcom trademarked Mega Man Universe in the USA and they have a pretty good track record when it comes to using trademarks. Remember Okamiden, Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, and Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth? All of those games were outed by trademark registrations dug up by Siliconera.

This discovery comes just a day after Seth Killian, Capcom’s Community Manager, hinted at a surprise for Mega Man fans. (http://www.destructoid.com/capcom-rad-mega-man-surprises-in-store--172079.phtml)

So what do you all think? Expecting something amazing? Keeping your hopes tempered? Or cynical and doubtful? Whatever the thought, you can share it all here. Discuss!

Well, Inafune himself was hinted at plodding away at something that even HE was excited to be working on. I'm thinking it's either a DASH sequel, or at least something relating to the brand that made him a household name.

Part of me still could go for a nice cross-over project starring the various characters. They do that, and maybe whomever gets into MvC3 won't be taken with so much gnashing of teeth.

This has to do with Capcom USA. I think everyone is getting a little too excited. Japan develops the Rockman Games, not America. It's probably just some marketing lingo or trademark thing.
Title: Re: "Mega Man Universe" Trademarked by Capcom - Whatever could this be..?

Yes, but CoJ could've simply not made a trademark yet. Everything is possible at the moment =/

Yeah, this.

After all, copyright bloodhounds have been doing this for years, and that's how these types of "leaks" are found out. Doesn't matter which side makes it, as long as it relates to one main product.

Let's not forget "OUR TEH MM9" was leaked from, of all possible things...an Austrialian Ratings site, a mere few years ago.  8D

Judging by the name, it would be a Star Force MMO; they'd go with something more internet-related for EXE.

Whether its american or not, you guys are forgetting that Inafune was recently promoted, and issued this statement.

Quote
"Whether games are created in America or Japan or anywhere in the world, I will be the one overlooking it, and so it will have that Capcom flavor that fans know and love," Inafune told attendees of the company's Hawaiian soirée last week. "So one of the things I want people to know is that now that I am overseeing every part of Capcom R&D. You can be sure that that unified vision is going to come through in all of our titles no matter where they are created."

AND, Seth's words on some megaman project

Quote
"It's good. I don't want to say nobody has seen it coming. Somebody may have seen it coming. But it excited me and when I heard about the project, I was like, 'Holy crap. That's rad.' I actually haven't seen anything that's going on with the project right now but the idea was exciting.  This is still kicking around as a concept. But there are exciting ideas in the Mega Man space."

Thinking about it: Thanks to MPX we know that there's going to be another X Game, not X9 and this name being trademarked makes me think of something:
A MMO ABOUT THE MAVERICK HUNTERS!
Create your own GBD and fight online with other hunters! >0<

Hm? Who/what is MPX?

But in any case, I'd place more stock in something like Monster Hunter + Mega Man. Two game properties that have done exceptionally well for Cappy, and the online structure would fit something Rockman perfectly. You get together, you go hunt Robot Masters/Irregulars/Mavericks with your pals.

Many thanks. Any way, all that does is seemingly point to the notion of what Inafune has said already: no X game is in production right now, and if one does occur, IHX2 is more likely than X9, at this point in time.

It'd be nice certainly, if this new project was related to X to some degree, but through something like this? I'd rather "MMU" was its own original MegaMan creation, rather than trying to have some "The Old Republic" style spin-off fit into an already established part of the series.

Sounds like its either Starforce or a new series.

Though, I wonder, is it possible this is the localization of the EXE1 remake with Starforce addons?
Title: Re: "Mega Man Universe" Trademarked by Capcom - Whatever could this be..?
Post by: Mirby on April 28, 2010, 06:14:23 AM
I highly doubt it.

But, after FINALLY beating Sirius today, there is now a set-up for future Star Force games. So that's a possibility. But, we won't know anything for sure until new info is released.

Or maybe it's just a way for them to create a term for the entire franchise and everything that happens therein.

Post by: Yllisos Zanon on April 28, 2010, 09:02:00 AM
My guess...

...I am hoping it is an 8-bit exploring game.  Down the lines of Wily Tower, but with all Robot Masters from 1-10, along with the characters from the gameboy games, Rockman and Forte.  Heck, from R&F, Capcom could replace Tengu and Astro with Fake Man and Dark Man.

Find and defeat all Robot Masters to complete the game. 

I STILL WANT AN 8-BIT DUO.  >_<

I hope it's not. leave 8-bit to the original series. I hope this is more than an 8-bit game.

And therein lies the fanservice. MOAR EXE! That was the whole reason they made it.

I still want it though...

And that would be cool, Yllisos...

There's nothing saying it's not part of the original series, Brinstar.

Ahh, but Green, wouldnt EXE fanservice be better if it was a brand new crossover adventure? Instead of a game youve already played, with a new character?

I myself got my hopes on scramble battle.

Mega Man pulling a Mario Galaxy, traveling across planets, galaxies and more?

If we're talking about a single new serie that sounds consistent, if it's a mix of all the series then that just sounds like way too much work to deal with.

It does have a not so interesting title right now.

Let's hope for a good game.

Post by: HokutoNoBen on April 29, 2010, 02:25:25 AM
Let's hope for a good game.

And this, in the end, is the main thing. Well, besides the notion that Megaman, acknowledged as one of Capcom's biggest and most well-loved brands, has yet to make a REAL splash this console generation. Love the 8-bit Retro, but that's not what I would consider Rock's "next gen debut" either. 8D

I'd like to think that Capcom and Inafune don't have any intention of making us wait too much longer for what could be considered that much. I only hope it's a new action-oriented series for any/all of the big three.

With a name like Mega Man Universe, I'm thinking it might be a crossover fighting game that has all the characters from all the Mega Man series' (classic, X, Zero, ZX, EXE, and Dash) jam-packed together to make many different types of fights and matches.  If that were the case, that'd be incredibly colossal.  But you can't hope for everything.

Well, just to add to that speculation, I talked with Seth Killian at PAX and asked him about MegaMan Mania, and he said that Capcom was definitely still interested in doing something with those games still. 

So it's not improbable.

I hope it's a 3d megaman game. That would be awesome. Don't get me wrong here, I loved legends, but it wasn't very megaman like if you really think about it. I'm talking weapon switching and boss selection and whatnot, gameplay stuff. I think a megaman game in 3d could be done better with this next gen hardware and experience that capcom has.
