Another game starring the Blue Bomber has been id'd, thanks to a new Investor Report Capcom put out recently.

Quote
...Other goals mentioned in the briefing included expanded online development. Capcom aims to sell additional download content for major titles like Super Street Fighter IV and Lost Planet 2. It hopes to increase digital distribution of software. It also looks like we'll be getting a Mega Man Online game, jointly developed by Korea's Neowiz Games.

- http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/05/10/capcom_sales_targets/ (original article and Investor Report link can be found there)

For more on Neowiz Games go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neowiz_Games.

It's not clear whether this and the "Megaman Universe" trademark found a week or so ago are related or not. Stay tuned...

Free with cash shops?  Wonder if the cash shop points will be called "Bolts" o.o

It would definitely make sense if it turned out to be Megaman Universe.

I can see this being the case, too. It would pretty much guarantee that more people would be willing to try it.

Yeah, it would. It's something we guessed in the other thread. And it depends on what timeline; classic would be bolt, X would be something... forget what, Zero and ZX would be E-Crystals (like it would be ZX or the next one), and DASH would be Zenny. Then again, if it was EXE or SS based, it would also be Zenny. They didn't specify which series it was in.

Personally, I hope not.

All this sounds like to me is just another quirky, made-for-PC, Korean-made, East Asian-centric MMO that will likely come in, enjoy a time in the sun for like about a year or so, and then go right the hell back out. Life goes on otherwise, as real Megaman games are released fairly normally.

Capcom would have to be seriously tripping if they think MM has it in him to do anything otherwise. Rock can't be expected to really combat Blizzard, much less the likes of bigger products like Bioware's "The Old Republic" and whatever Marvel has in store for their MMO. Plus, shouldn't they be focused on actually trying to build the Monster Hunter brand in the West?

That would be a wise idea... if this does turn out to be Universe, then oh well. I just hope that Universe is something different, something cool.

Or maybe they should spend time making DASH 3!

I just hope that the finished product is interesting, and something I'd want to look into--I don't play MMOs for various reasons (most of all being broke).

I don't play them because I like being able to mess with people physically after a multiplayer game.

But if it turns out okay, I might look into it...

Yeah as interesting as an Online MM would be... I don't think it would last very long.

However... a new MM with a heavy focus on online play, while also providing offline play... would be interesting.

Hmmm, but whose to say it IS an MMO though?  There are lots of other Korean rpgish not-so-MMO games out there, like those 2D fighter ones that I can't really remember the names of right now o.o

EXE/SF was bad enough. Don't turn Megaman even more boring.

I'm still hoping for that FPS Megaman game. If not, some MM battle arena type of game like Power Fighters / Battles, but with more variation, attack systems, and RMs being playable.. Maybe a party game like the Smash Bros. Series. *Shrug*

This could be the first teaser poster of the game. COULD be. I'm not convinced yet. It's a comment made on Mega Man Network, could be someone trolling.

The copyright on that is 2007; it's probably trolling.

Although an X-era game is more appealing than classic, personally...
