Even with SNES sprites & sound effects?

And here's a fun thought too: Would the Sonic series have been better all around if they had just kept the S3&K/CD formula going?

Yes, because the SNES cant handle those kinds of cutscenes.
Also, X3 had remixed music. it was an enhanced port. (yknow, like OSS) Capcom wouldnt make that, if they make an SNES X game, going with what they are doing with 8 bit 9 and 10, they will stick to X1-3 limitations. which means no animated cutscenes. Just like Acid said, Black boxes with white text.

I'D rather see MM stagnating in the NES era for all eternity than seeing it suffer from the same treatment as Sonic.

Metroid Mario and Zelda seem to be doing just fine. Sonic isnt the ONLY 2D gone 3D series out there. and quite frankly, not the biggest either.
Sega =/= Capcom.

So your saying that an SNES X1-X3 type game, with the same special effects & everything, would suddenly cease to be an SNES style game if they added in Anime Cutscenes?

Yes. It goes into Saturn/PSX territory.

And what is it that you think im thinking?

Im confused now. What did you think I was thinking?

Good your thinking straight...

Now, if your thinking I'm thinking what I think your thinking...

also,
The way I see it, Capcom needs to catch up with the likes of Nintendo and Sega some time. all their major franchises are 3D. Megaman? still stuck in 2D. With a tossed aside 3D formula.

I hope your not thinking what im thinking

What? If they continue the story from where X8 left off, (which they better,) theres alot that has changed, alot that might go down, and alot of text.

Sometimes I think you just hate Mega Man

Not really. Im just one of those people that has his own views on things.
All because Im discontent with Capcom rehashing the past instead of trying something new doesnt mean I hate Megaman.

Not the point, the point is that it's a game with SNES aesthetics with anime scenes.

It was still a PSX game. not an SNES game. the actual SNES could never handle X3's cutscenes.

All that MMX needs for storytelling is a big black box with text.

End of story.

Thats gonna be a lot of black boxes.

Nonsense.  Anything can be done in these here gameys.  Just imagine it like Chrono Trigger DS.  They has the SNES style game and put in the PS1 Anime Cutscenes. Why couldn't they do that with an SNES style X game?

Simply because X1-3 didnt have them. Capcom is pretty insistent on making them TRUE NES games. If they could they would sell them on cartridges.  The same would apply to the X series if they made it SNES again.

... sprites have bearings on the game's story now?

the sprite style. You will never see an SNES X1 with X8's cutscenes. Or with long dialogues between bosses and characters and such. The sprite style affects more than just the general look. It affects how the story can be told.
If theres one thing that Capcom has stuck to with the retro style, is its limitations.

In my OPINION, it never could.

As far back as X1, Zero was inaccurately sprited. And I think MHX proves your point as well...

You already are very bitter.

I can grumble some too if you want...

I think it's more of a case of Inti being lazy.

Who is it that tells Inti what they want to see in the next Megaman game? Who is it who specifically had Inti make an 8 bit 9?

They are milking you poor sap's nostalgia, thats what.

which is what worries me.
because SNES X9, wont be as cute now that we have 2 retro titles. It might be fun, oh yes, it could be great, but it would be a very bad Idea storywise. (And spritewise. Seriously, Zero and that X3 armor...) SNES cant handle the X series anymore.

Get a Wii then. Lazy freeloaders.

And, seriously? When DID you even start playing Megaman games? Anyone that is a fan of the games before they entered the teenage emo phase can appreciate this epic. Classic is obviously not dead if it still has a large base of people that want it. It's the ONE series that wasn't tainted in some way in the end, save Legends, which is all but forgotten. (key words, all but forgotten)

I HAVE a Wii. Doesn't mean I can get Wiiware games on it.

My first Megaman game was 8. So I do enjoy the PSX Megaman, but Im not exactly biased to its look. I liked the 8 bit games just as much. I dont like THIS one, merely because of the fact its such a milking. 9 was one thing. But this only proves to me that they just have given up on TRYING to make a good Megaman game without relying on things like nostalgia, and will most likely have the same thing done for X9, and X10, something which makes me somewhat bitter; since it is a very bad Idea.
That, plus Im not exactly having the best of days.

OK, we will have fun in the meantime!

You go ahead and do that.
I'll wait till Capcom tries something fresh that I can actually obtain.

Another wiiware 8 bit Megaman rehash, with, the way they describe Protoman, the same mechanics as 9, 1-2 style  Megaman.
ridiculous NA style box art, and a ridiculous boss.

Megaman classic is dead to me.


Seriously, the box art thing is over. They started getting it right after 2. The joke isnt funny anymore when it was really only for 2 games. Plus, another 8 bit? this just milking it.
I knew it. I knew they wouldn't pull through with something awesome. I say we all get ready for SNES X9.

I picked Sword Man

By the way, I've been wondering for a while now; Is Sword Man's English VA the same guy that voiced Colonel?

When you mention it- Im pretty sure he is.

I vote Swordman. He's cool. Never cared much for Junkman.

Gemini lost to Ring??  INCONCIEVABLE!

Stoneman has some good point, but Yamato is one of the most awsome looking Robot Masters in the series.  Although, as a samurai, it's hard to go wrong.

Ringman's cooler.

Hey, hey, I want to play them, but I have trouble finding a full Legends 2 UNDER 40 bucks.
seriously. if I can get 1 for 8 bucks, I want to get 2 for a low price as well. Im not about to pay upwards of 30 bucks for it. I mean, hell, maybe im asking too much, but I want a full l2. including the disc, case, and manual.
