If that'd happen then it'd just keep showing how everyone can handle the MM franchise better than Capcom itself.Maybe, but they'd still get my money through their licensing it. And they DAMN WELL would get it, I assure you.
If by "pilot" you mean Inafune...if he remained on that plane, he'd most likely be suffering from the emotional exhaustion of having to deal with that obnoxious crew 24/7.I'm sure that if Inafune thought he was doing his best work in Capcom, he wouldn't have left.
Zero's a direct sequel to the X series, and it's much different.If by "different" you mean "watered down". Zero 1's presentation is rather rough and it doesn't offer a whole heck of a lot to the gameplay table that the X series didn't do better. The sequels got better as they went along, but to this day I consider Xtreme2 the best handheld Mega Man game, ever (engrish and all).
I wasn't aware of an actual approval meeting. That's just more evidence to show that Capcom forced the cancellation after an agreement was met.Oh, it's damn well FACT that they did that.
We took this prototype game, full of potential, and showed it off at the greenlight meeting. As hoped, Barrett’s reception was top-notch. What a response! And yet. . . it’s really difficult to determine just how well-received a sequel to a 10-year-old series will be.
This is where the Mega Man Legends Developer Room comes in. Planned as a place where users could get in on the development process, we knew there was some way we could utilize this to help our project succeed. We ended up reaching an unprecedented agreement. As it happens, it was decided that the prototype version of the game we had submitted within the company would be sold as a downloadable—“Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version”. Furthermore, the heat and excitement surrounding this downloadable title would determine whether or not the full game could be greenlit. If hype is strong, the full title will be a go. If not, it’s a no-go. I don’t even want to think about that outcome!
You know, the fans are anything but patient. They are completely impatient. More than that, they're obnoxious, petty, and never satisfied. They don't appreciate anything they have, and you can't say a damn thing to please them. And you know what? Capcom, you brought it on yourselves.
My apologies to Sven; CoA has been the most sympathetic of Capcom's branches by far. I know what a "taboo" topic Legends 3 is. But all of the demands, all of the childish behavior, all of the complaining about Mega Man's absence from UMvC3, the backlash over Bad Box Art Mega Man in SFxT, and the constant whining that a cell phone game using a proven poor engine is IN NO WAY an appropriate celebration for a quarter-century franchise, we all know where it started.
Ever since the DS took off, Mega Man's been on a slow decline. ZX, Star Force, Powered Up, Maverick Hunter X, all "good enough" for us, but not quite hitting it off with the gaming market as a whole. They were "good" games, but the passion was lost. Capcom got a spark back with Mega Man 9, but they failed to maintain it. For as novel an idea as reverting back to the 1980's was, even fans of the golden age want a bit more than a new NES game.
And then we found it. Inafune and co. had only to say, "", and nothing else, they already knew our answer. Suddenly a dream from ages past was alive again, an unreal passion was ignited the likes of which the last hardware generation had never seen. Capcom asked for our help in making it reality, and for nine months we offered all we could, with nothing but good faith in return. We were told to be patient, even when the future was uncertain, with the promise that even if worst came to worst we would at least get a small glimpse of this dream before we had to lay it to rest once more. Then suddenly it was all taken away. Not just the game, but even the mere opportunity of the prologue, was ripped away from us with no word as to why.
it's a game you've all been waiting for
That may be acceptable to employees of the gaming industry, who sacrafice their passion to the bitter realities in which they are immersed, in exchange for the roof over their heads. But to the fans who were invited along for the ride, who had only their trust in Capcom to keep them going, that doesn't cut it.
So the question on my mind, the question on every fan's mind ever since that day 14 months ago, is what do you, Capcom, intend to do about it? What do you intend to offer, what CAN you offer, that either of us can even hope will possibly compare to what was lost? Games get cancelled all the time, yes, but this was not just any game. Universe was cancelled, we got over it. Is that what you're waiting for? For us to "get over" Legends so that Mega Man can return to his usual mediocrity? Because the thought has occurred to us, and I think that's what frightens and offends us more than anything else. Legends 3 was an event over a decade in the making, it will not be forgotten so easily.
We're already been holding onto Legends with virtually no support for 12 years. If you're waiting for us to let go, then you will be waiting a long, long time.
So Gamestop sold out their Premium Wii U Preorders already.Eh, I neglected to pre-order on their website because of the fact that you can't pick it up in a store (meaning, you have to wait for them to ship it on the 18th).
Real [tornado fang]ing quick I must say, glad I got mine in yesterday.
No, it cannot play Gamecube games. So you'll have to keep your Wii or buy a new Gamecube!Probably better to keep your Wii unless you use one of the attachments (IE, Gameboy Player or LAN adapter). GCN component cables are ludicrously expensive.
Quite a few people are hoping the Wii U will have some Gamecube VC games, upgraded to take advantage of the HD capabilities of the Wii U, but there's been nothing confirmed or even officially said about that idea.With Nintendo showing no interest in upscaling Wii games, I sincerely doubt that will happen. Some GCN games MIGHT be downloadable down the line, but I don't expect any enhancements.
You know to this day I wonder how a female koopa the size of Bowser would look...but the idea it self seems horrifying. Either way this makes a lot of sense.I like Nintendrawer's version. Not at all bad looking, but she is DAMN EVIL, even for a Koopa.
That is an amazing idea, so therefore it will never happen.Well, that's what PB specializes in.
The show is f'in awesome though!I have no doubt. But if me Hypershell can't munch metal, then there's only so much that can be done.
Still though, Nintendo really can't stop being in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't situation". People [sonic slicer] that Nintendo doesn't have games that they want, but then when they do have them they [sonic slicer] that Nintendo has them. It really sounds to me like those people just don't want anything to do with Nintendo at all.That's because Bayonetta is HARDCOOORE!!11, and plumbers who ride dinosaurs are not.
Coin Rush.Very clever, but it's still 30 repeats to get to the million. There are plenty of other 3DS games with equally mind-numbing objectives for me to clear that DON'T make me wish I was playing NSMBWii with a hacked soundtrack and extra Yoshi eggs instead.
Mushroom Pack, making sure Mushroom-1 is the first stage.
Gold Flower.
Run and hit the checkpoint, use the earlier enemies to get around 500 coins.
Go into the pipe where the first Star Coin is, Run and jump onto the koopa twice.
Break the bricks to form a small set of stairs.
Infinite 1-UP trick, making sure to stop at about 900 coins (The Koopa only has 1,000 in him, and if you take them all then he dies and doesn't respawn.)
Do that twice more, third time feel free to kill it.
Run to the end.
Top of the Flagpole.
Next two stages don't matter so long as you get the top of the flagpole in the second stage (The third is always a fortress IIRC) to double your score, just killing the boss in a Fortress produces the same results.
You'll get the maximum 30,000 for Coin Rush, save that as your record so you can always Challenge it to get more.
I got to my 1,000,000 within a week thanks to that. I'm not going to bother with 9,999,999 though, not worth it.
I also liked Over-1's design..So do I, actually. I mean, he's not the greatest, but he's solid. Most who take the time to think about XOver realize that the most disturbing points to it are technical, not conceptual. That being, it's reusing a game engine that was already established to be a complete POS.
Being peeved carries much less strong connotations than being offended.To you, maybe. Not everyone lives by that assumption.
All of that could've been avoided had you been more considerate.
See what I just did there?
I think you're splitting hairs here.
I think this is an overreaction.
Wikipedia:Being MIA is being on hiatus, though being on hiatus isn't necessarily being MIA.
Missing in action (MIA) is a casualty Category assigned under the Status of Missing to armed services personnel who are reported missing during active service. They may have been killed, wounded, become a prisoner of war, or deserted. If deceased, neither their remains nor grave can be positively identified. Becoming MIA has been an occupational risk for service personnel for as long as there has been warfare.

I think this whole BBAMM thing is kinda playing into that "attacking other franchises" thing when it comes to Street Fighter, since even though SFxT is clearly not made for us, we're being super picky about it anyways.I'm sure those who attack Street Fighter out of jealousy (and I know they're out there) are more than willing to add BBAMM to their ammunition. But as for me, whether it's a "Mega Man game" or not, it is still Mega Man playable in a video game with Capcom's approval. Being a guest character does not grant him a free pass.
Then why do I see the complete opposite in so many Mega Man fans today? They've given me sufficient context to define how they've been offended better than a dictionary can.As I said, it is up to the individual. But when you go drawing distinctions between being "peeved" and being "offended", you're merely passing your own view of semantics off as fact.
By the way, I think it's a little odd that you're telling me I'm the one with the pitchfork. That's the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it?No need to get defensive. That was merely my way of asking you to hold back your initial reaction to my first line and hear me out.
The problem is that with this state of affairs between Capcom and Mega Man fans, it hasn't remained personal. It's become endemic and paraded around for the wrong reasons. I'm not liking what I'm seeing, and I wanted to call people out on that. I know what people are mad about, but as far as I can see it, something like BBAMM is just an available scapegoat.UMvC3 was a scapegoat. BBAMM is just bad taste. As I've mentioned in my last post, there's a world of difference.
What reason does anyone have to believe that a parody like BBAMM would replace Mega Man?He HAS, that's the point. That's not by any means to say that he always will; suggesting otherwise would be naive.
suffice it to say that Mega Man is not MIA. Just on hiatus.Once again, you have an outstanding ability to split hairs among synonyms.
BBAMM was just the best fit for SFxTThat's a debatable opinion if I ever saw one. Anyone with a brain stem knows that the Mega Man franchise comes with a huge variety of options even if you're only willing to consider the series lead characters. There are seven of them, after all.
Is it really reasonable for us to be jealous of either Resident Evil or Street FighterNot in the least.
And if I'm perfectly honest, Rockman Online didn't look that great at all. It had some potential, but it needed a good bit of polishing up, and also it's a game more suited to the Korean MMO audience that it is to Western folk. The best looking things about Online were the animated trailers.In terms of it's platform, you probably have a good point.
Hoo boy, boss rematches. You know what game got those completely wrong? Megaman X5Well, that's because X5 got boss fights PERIOD wrong. There's no reason a weakness weapon needs to cause a boss to bounce around for such an absurd length of time as Dinorex, ESPECIALLY when you consider how few frames of animation they go through during that process. The pacing is positively absurd.
He has visible joints on his knees. Chances are he has full leg joints and a head joint at least, this is a Japanese figure after all and not a lazy American one with two joints.It does look that way when you zoom in, doesn't it? I was caught off guard by the fact that his pose is identical across the two images.
