To be honest I think if Capcom is going to make another Megaman game they really need to take their time to develop it.  I wish deadlines didn't exist.

Maybe it's as simple as Mega Man not making that much money anymore. I mean, if Capcom has the choice between spending their resources on a new MM or an "updated" SF4 with a few extra characters that will probably be a million seller, it's not too hard to understand what will happen.

That's why I really thought the new 8-bit games were doing fine. Oh well.

I still have a tiny hope that they'll announce a new game near the 25th Anniversary, though. Even if it's something early in development.

But the thing is they allowed SF 4 to happen, despite SF being in the same boat. They pressured Ono to make something more profitable. What happened when SF4 finally hit the shelves? an explosion of sales.

Also, Capcom had stated that the prototype sales would determine the greenlight. So they could have been far more smart with this, since they essentially wasted money on the development and fan interaction, and didnt even bother collecting on the 2$ price tag. They easily could have released the prototype, collected some dough from it's cost, and then cancelled the project, citing a lack of sales. Instead, they just cut it off without even delivering the promised sales determining product.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Not to mention, there doesn't seem to have been an MM advert OF ANY KIND after ZX (unless magazine previews count). Capcom can't really whine about MM's low sales when they won't properly advertise the games.

Let's see, Capcom was whining on how MMZXA didn't sell well in Japan and decided there would be no sequel, even though MMZXA sold decently well in the West.

And if you need a citation: http://www.rockmancorner.com/2011/07/mega-man-zx-celebrates-5th-anniversary.html

Always, particularly for newer series like ZX or Star Force. I rarely ever saw Commercials or any ads outside of in VG magazines.

older MM games, MM1-8, X1-6 at least had Japanese commercials. the rest seemed more rare as far as commercials go. And forget the US- I dont think Mega Man's ever had individual game commercials here. Only for X collection and for the 15th anniversary I think?

Sigma: Wily!  What does the energy reading say about his power level?!
Dr. Wily: It's OVER-1!!!
Sigma: What?!  OVER-1?!!

... I'm sorry.  I'm so, so sorry.

It seemed appropriate.

[spoiler=alt lyrics]
Don't bother saying you're sorry
Why don't you come in
Burnt all our stupid hopes again

Every time the games sink further
How long has it been?
Come on in now
Wipe your feet on our dreams

You take up our time
With a cheap reskin game
When we could have been playin' somethin'
Somethin' that isn't this lame

Oh~

We've done this before
And we will do it again
C'mon and kill us Capcom
While you smile like a friend
Oh and we'll come running
Just to do it
Again

You are the last drink we never should have drunk
Mega Man's body is hidden in the trunk
Suffering's a habit I can't seem to kick
Every week the news punches me in the dick
iOS X I never should have bought
We get screwed over even though we fought
Legends was the cut that showed us your face
And this game looks like a damn disgrace

It's like a car crash I can see, but I just can't avoid
Like a plane I've been told I never should board
Like a film that's so bad, but I've got to stay 'til the end

Rockman X is over, good night my old friend
[/spoiler]

I wouldn't say Rockman is dead, but he's in a coma, at least until management changes.

That grainy screen on the bottom right has got me curious. There seem to be several OVER models fighting against a big something on the other side of the screen. Squid Adler?

Good eye! Now I see it.

You know, if the music, sound FX, and animation are spot on for this mobile RPG, I might take it as a nice throwback title instead of a blatantly cheap ripoff.

I think I'll just keep calling him "Luka". "Akiyo Haruka"'s not a bad name, either--in fact, something tells me that a lot of people are gonna stick with their fanon names.

Also, if Capcom wants me to believe that this is as involved a crossover as they're making it out to be, they'll have to show me more than just the X elements.

I like to think that "OVER-1" basically means "the first OVER unit," since Rockman OVER is supposed to be a mass-produced model of Battle Android.  That just kind of begs the question, "What does 'OVER' stand for?"  "Omnipresent Variable Equipment Robot?"  *shrug*  We'll see at some point, I imagine, what's to come of our friend in the Squall Leonhart-esque jacket.

It wasn't a joke. I was asking/stating that such a joke was unnecessary.

seeing this just makes it more of a shame that the interesting design is being wasted on this. Instead of... i dunno... an X Armor. Or something.

I don't even think WAM-X looks good as even an X armor.

I just find the design intriguing. I just wish they'd use it for something better.

Now that I see his full design he looks like X and Axl's love child with elements of Megaman.EXE and Starforce Megaman.  Too bad he's inheriting Axl's fan hate.
