Remember the thoughtful efforts of our affiliates MegaManX9.com (http://www.megamanx9.com/) that would hint Capcom to make a sequel to the X series? It looks like it finally paid off!! Due to the success of Rockman 9, a new X series game is coming out... in Super Famicom (SNES) style! o.o
An anonymous tipster sent us an e-mail, hinting that a couple of screenshots was recently uploaded to a Capcom Press folder. Hard to believe, but the quality was so surreal and so amazing, we were at loss for words.

"Ugh, these platforms... Hey, I better not be facing some Spike Raptor boss in here...!"
We were also told, that the theme of the game, and the title, is focusing on the continued removal of old-generation repliroids. The title that was given to us was "Rockman X9: Repuriroido no Shimetsu!", which means "Repliroid Extinction!".
It puts us at the point where Rockman X8 ended with a mysterious shiny piece being infested on Axl's head circuits. Closing in on the year 22XX, after Axl's recovery, new threats started to arise, where the reproduction of copy chips are showing up at a tremendous rate, and thus being able to breed new generation repliroids to replace the old. Can X, Zero and Axl find out who's behind this and stop any irregular crimes in the process?
Some features that would show up is a Database showing off all the characters and bosses that has shown up in the X series so far, along with a Time Attack mode to show off your records on leaderboards.
And it's been mentioned that Life Ups, Sub Tanks and Capsule upgrades are coming back in their original form, without having to buy them from some kind of shop feature.
DLC has been mentioned as well. What they were exactly is yet unknown, but we hope it's the same treatments as Rockman 9 or something more surprising.
The game is rumored to come out on PlayStation Network, X-Box Live Arcade and Wii Ware. The release date and price wasn't mentioned, but we hope it will be ready before the big anniversary.
We'll keep in touch if more information shows up.
More information showed up! (http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=1337.0)
is this official??? it is official in that case...
IM AM EXCITED 8) 8) 8)
YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY 8) 8) 8)
AXL IS 16-BIT XD
I thought the answer to our prayers this year would have been the reveal of the MM9 secret and how to unlock it. Guess others didn't have the same prayers as I thought after all. And our prayers get answered earlier and earlier every year, don't they? 8D
Vixy, you forgot to mention how Capcom has decided to take the risk and release special edition Snes Cartridge versions in their next press kit.
your a day early, Vix.

sure its theirs to begin with, but they ripped the images from fan sites and stuff.
I just remembered the date.
Still, those are some sexy screenshots.

I wonder what bosses would this game behold? Show me the bosses!

And yet with all these creative ideas, it makes me wonder how the Mega Man hacking scene hasn't flourished like the Sonic one. I'd totally play a hack that looks like this.
...That said! Let's hope lightning strikes twice and we get an X9. Legends 3 would be a much more desired but still unobtainable alternative.

Besides, we can easily point our fingers at Zan and Oakes too, they helped in both Rockman and Forte DS and Rockman Dash DS, or maybe all of them are guilty =P

Are there many ROM hacks of the X series?
I've never come across any before.
I'm going to be honest here: This year's hoax wasn't all that great.
I could see it coming miles away.
Not to mention the fact that I don't WANT the X series to continue. Sure there's a bit left to explain between The X and Zero series, but I'd rather have it kept that way than Capcom to make a halfassed attempt at bridging the two stories just to appeal to retro-seeking gamers.
You never know, it could be worth it...

Well, there was its internet equivalent even with MM9, so he's not completely wrong.
yeah, but its not as bad as he makes it sound. "audacity?" Capcom can and will do whatever they please. :P unfortunately.
Hahah, well played. If this is a hoax, its the first one to get me in sometime around April 1st. I was caught off guard and seriously believing this until someone pointed out the date. I was ready to rattle off how dumb and tacky doing it in SNES style is, but then I remembered I liked the SNES style but I still think the retro thing is more annoying than cute after the first time.
But [tornado fang], if its real, awesome. Why not be hopeful? As long as its on the handhelds, I'm game, because I'm not paying an arm and a limb to play MM9 on a next gen [tornado fang]ing console.
Looks nice!
[spoiler]But the Axl screenshot really gave it away, especially the Axl sprite. Great try, though![/spoiler]

I want to believe that this is not a hoax but........

No, I didn't even have to read the whole topic. Don't ask.
You know, that Axl sprite is kinda lazy. It's a recolored X3 Zero with details like hair and pistol changed.
And I wanted a MMZ spin-off feat. Guardians :(
of course we are expert detectives
and i think.... FAKE
Remember last year?
When everyone got so [tornado fang]ing angry about a damn joke? God that was pathetic.
So don't trick us, and we won't have reason to be angry!
lol no

I agree with Vixy; Let's discuss the possibilities of X9. This could be MMX going back to its roots; the best way!
I honestly didn't like the whole look of X1-X3. But come to think of it, seeing how potentially good the Megaman X Corrupt in Fan Creations, maybe it will work.

Well, I guess Capcom is finally listening again... 8D

MM9 would like to have a word with you.
Retro MM9 is totally different from a Retro X9. Most of the Classic Series games were 8-BIT styled, and veteran gamers pretty much grew up with them. Not to mention it fits Classic the best.
The X Series, on the other hand, have been switching systems every 3 games. And MHX/X8 Style suited it greatly. Getting a retro X9 with the removal of dialogue between characters and Mavericks, removal of voice acting, and other stuff on the latest X games just seems wrong. I wouldn't mind an X4-6 styled X9 though.

I think X9 was too logically straightforward. Even if it had been a crazy concept it would have been amazing. I really enjoyed previous years hoaxes, both inside and outside RPM (God, that VAVA in RMZ4 event cutscene really got me back in the day, mainly because it was really close to the release date)
Scramble Battle screens, Zero in MM9, a MMZ Anniversary Collection, a Brawl hack with Mega man or Trigger...you name it.

XCM
On an unrelated note to that, I quote myself:
Cpapcom has nothing to do with this.
To tell you the truth, Cpapcom's life after the 'game' of two years ago was short lived as one employee got a burnout by harsh critics and another got fired. Something about being lazy, not meeting deadlines, resulting in the use of crappy program filters to texture a sprited background.
With one employee remaining, the division was disbanded. But, last year, our fired ex-employee did pull an abysmal prank with an impossible jump and shoot screenshot, a black background and a weird chimera... I suspect that ex-employee might have something to do with this too.
XCM 0.5
You know, Capcom has a lot of explaining to do with this...
Yea, I KNOW I saw that text at the end of MMX8... I mean I watched Ace Spark do his playthrough of it not that long ago... Anyway, yea, untill I see UNDENIABLE proof that this game is in production I'm not getting my hopes up. But it was a good prank, I'll give ya that. XD

Whether one thinks that's a good thing or not is up to the one playing the game though.
Progress can go in various direction though.
Umm... There hasn't really been
that much progression in the series. There's been some extra things tacked on over the years, but the same can be said for any of the series, including Classic. Besides, there are those that prefer the smooth gameplay of the first 3 X games. If they could mix up some of the extras from later on in the series into the old style of basic gameplay, it would kick far more ass than a lot of the stuff they've done recently.
I have one thing to say to this:

Retro works great for MM9. It would /not/ work for X9. The X series has always been about progression, not regression. The graphics get better, the gameplay changes. I just cannot see; nor would I ever support; a X series installment that went back to the 8/16-bit days.

Well, the X series has always worked as a sort of guinea pig for Capcom's short and long-term intentions with Mega Man. Things like multiple playable characters, arsenal upgrades, optional bosses, 3D gameplay, tag-team, randomized level design, exploration quests all started with X and some of them will likely die with X.
The problem is that most of them started out as alpha at best, and they clearly promoted those games around (and around) these features, so general quality might have taken a hit in some cases. See X7...

Everything broken about X7 is everything that was always there, like dashing and firing. Well, except for the camera.
Tag-team for example was introduced in X7, and it was a very primitive execution, later polished in X8.
The part system is also something they don't seem to have made up their minds on. Each game had a different system, most very experimental...

No, it didn't. You had an assistant character in X3, almost an easter egg. In X7 the gameplay revolves around choosing two hunters, switching between them and using their particular skills accordingly.
I think it's pretty obvious that Zero in X3 was not a central gameplay feature like tag-team in X7...
You guys just can't enjoy this, can you? =P You just can't go "oh man, that was awesome! Great job all parties, even if I wasn't fooled!"

Obvious as it might be, his point still holds true. It's a primitive example of a Tag Team option during the game, even if it was excuted poorly and easter eggishly.

I really wish that was the case. But you know, you see a point, think it's stupid, reply, someone else thinks your point is stupid and replies.
And so on and so on.

So is life too. Just people aren't as open in real life as they are on the net.
Well, cept me!
Well, tell that to the media. I'm the most sane where I'm at (and the school where I go to, they are like a pile of hand gernades wating to be detonated).
As far as the Axl sprite goes, it's not made by Capcom, that's for sure. If anything is a giant tip-off, it's the hair. It's way too smooth and for that matter, light for that tone of color for Capcom's work. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a flat out edit of Zero but probably heavily referenced. Another thing is that I don't think Capcom would have put that yellow thing-a-mabobby under Axl's chest gem. It's too thin and too small of a detail to matter or bother with in sheeting a sprite officially.
If anything, they would have taken that out. The only reason Zero has the yellow line at the top of his torso is to seperate his head from the chest, (If he didn't it would look like his head and chest are the same) it's exactly the same as when Nintendo made Mario's sprite the first time. The only reason he ended up with a mustache is because they wanted to seperate his nose from his chin.
As far as BBD, Zan or Oakie making it, I'm 99.99% sure that it wasn't Oakie. He's more or less sick of peoples comments on Apirl fools jokes and the lack of people treating them like jokes, and something to linch others for. Zan is a possibility, but he just said didn't do it. So, I'll take'em for his word, and BBD well, you'd think he's gotten tired of MM mock-ups, but I've been wrong before.
And I know I had nothing to do with it. It was the Sloth I tells'ya!
It could be anyone on this forum who knows how to sprite and has Mspaint. But If it is a joke, let's just sitback, relax and blame it on Canada and not be overly serious. :P
Oh yeah, there was Xtreme 2. X(
I don't believe Zero in X3 was primitive or executed poorly. He was almost like a videogame version of McGuffin! What I'm saying is that they tend to abuse the X series for every other new idea, and often they're not executed as perfectly as they sell them to us.
Well, I generally like the style of the SNES MMX Games; The only thing that makes me mad about 'em is how brutally hard they can be at times. >_< Especially when it came to getting secrets. X4 was great, but the voice acting was worse than simon cowell's judgemental standards. X5 was a lot better; a nice balenced 32-bit game. X6 is where it went downhill a bit, mainly due to:
- Lack of translation.(Because they were in a rush to localize it)
- Frustrating Controls
- Several Grammer and Spelling Errors
- Brutal Difficulty
- Poor Level Design(which is resolved with a jumping chip)
and lastly...
- The fact that it was not directed by Keji Inifune(because he originally wanted it to end at 5)
In my opinion, MM10 can wait; MMX9 needs to get done.

* The fact that it was not directed by Keji Inifune(because he originally wanted it to end at 5)
Newsflash, he didn't produce X5 either. In fact, the only X game he produced was X4.
So much for achieving something new with the graphics and what not! :|

Fantastic fascinating fabulous news!
I hope that Axl will get possessed and goes PEW PEW BLARGH until Lumine bursts out of Axl's exploding head and goes "Lol ancient idiots, I am gonna turn you all into popsicle!".
Unfortunately/fortunately my birthday is today as well.
Arggh, can't resist! Your existence is a one big fat lie!
just joking, happy birthday. 8)
Xtreme 2 and X5 and X6 had the same system, only that X6 limited how many chips you could equip depending on your rank.

Inafune really has nothing much to do with X5. He might have had a general idea of where the story was to go, but that's that. X5 was solely the responsibility of the team that also did Xtreme, Xtreme2 and X6. Why are you giving Inafune so much credit? He's just the guy that did some of the designs and drew some of the art. That he became the father of Rockman is just because he stuck around from R1 to now. Even in the X-series he didn't have complete creative control until X4 and only X4.

Wow, learn something new every day... -u-'
protip, Zan knows more about this [parasitic bomb] than you could ever possibly hope to cram into that miniscule brain of yours.
In fact, he really didnt "create" megaman. Capcom already had a basic idea of what he was supposed to be like, he simply made the final design. but the character Idea existed before he joined.

Well, from my general understanding (and that of every other person I can possibly know), Inifune is considered the father of Rockman.
I checked TMMN a while ago; not many people were amused either. It won't be long until any joke, April Fools or no, will be met with five replies of "[dark hold]".
Why do you people persist in doing this stupid crap every year? Just curious. I've never been much of a practical joke person and I simply don't see the appeal of it.
It's once a year, don't complain.
I'll complain about whatever I want, whenever I want!
But, if you had actually made the entire Mega Man X 9 game all by yourself, then that would have been a funny joke.

They have no life and want to screw with people. I take jokes way too seriously...
I mean, if Capcom and every other gaming company makes jokes like this, how will the gamers take them seriously?
Lastly, Blizzard did something like this related to their new WoW expansion,
Wrath of the Lich King but it was a class called
Bard, which played hilariously like Guitar Hero crossed with a Rock Band Interface. Sure, it was an April Fool's Joke, but it would've been cool to rock out in Azeroth
Thats it, we're moving April Fools to August 19th, end of story. Now shut up.

The thing is, I laugh very, very easily (ie: Gotham's above post), and I don't get it. A hoax is not a joke. A joke has a punch-line, and/or something reasonably unexpected. But RPM seems to get more and more unoriginal as the years go by.
They could have at LEAST had a screenshot thumbnail link to Gutsman's ass or something. Same nonexistent originality with only a slight improvement on effort could have gone a long way.

its called whoever put it together didnt have the time to do more than 3 screens? if they had actually made another bootleg magazine scan, and maybe some quotes from "capcom people" then it would have been better. but this time, it was a bit too crude considering things like Rockman Dash DS, Rockman Forte DS, and the RM9 "screenshot" that BBD made.

Actually, I can still see a good laugh coming from this if I just think about how silly/"serious buisness" you unnamed few are being in response to an obvious prank.
God help you all if I start real pranks on you. ;D
Hey, I *WISH* someone would try real pranks for April Fools. As mind-scarring as PMM's Nana/Wily switcheroo was back in the day, it's at least funny to look back.

No because I know I couldn't do any better.
Still it would have been less obvious if the prankster had made the Axl sprite themselves instead of stealing one from some yobbo.

Happens every year though, so it's sort of like a community sucking tradition.
in before "lolaprilfoolslol" then capcom announcing X9 and someone here going FFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I have to admit the screen shots are "convincing".
This is 100% real, right?
If not, I'll kill myself by eating too much sushi.
EAT SUSHI NOW.
Yes please. Eat those sushi! :D
I'm sorry, but Rock Man X9 is in another castle!
