Topic: Nintendo Power announces Mega Man 10

[Black Mage J]

I predict this battle will rage on till good saturday. That and the whole MM10 thing will be the same, people who will like will like it, and we shall get an MM11.

I predict this battle will rage on till good saturday.

I think It won't, because I'll lock this soon. It's not going anywhere.

[Gaia]

Hmm, should we make RM prediction again?

Oh yes. This should be fun.

[Protoman Blues]

If anything, we'll probably create a new topic in the Classic Rockman thread about Character Predictions, Playable Blues, etc.

[Flame]

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.

DO IT!

It's always about Playable Blues with you, isn't it?

[Acid]

Black boxes with white text.

Colored text! I wouldn't mind X1 mugs though.

[Jericho]

I think It won't, because I'll lock this soon. It's not going anywhere.

I don't feel like locking this one is a good idea since this is easily gonna be one of RPM's biggest topics for a while and letting it filter out into different areas of the site would make things a bit crazy. At the same time, the debate over what should happen over a game that hasn't even been confirmed to exist and the exchange that's been going on is kinda counterproductive to what we should be talking about here. In case anyone forgot what that was, let me remind you:

JESUS [tornado fang], IT'S MEGA MAN 10.

Seriously guys.

[Black Mage J]

This was an eventful day, though I must say that my enthusiasm for this game has died after this conversation, I should be heading to rest now.
Alright then, lets be happy we got some really good news for once instead of operation shooting comet red tiger edition.

[Flame]

Yknow, i've heard a few people worrying over the 3rd character. I cant see why. Its either one of 3. Forte, Roll, or Duo. (Unless Capcom SERIOUSLY decides to introduce a new character)

[Emiri Landeel]

Holy cow! What am I missing!?!

MEGAMAN 10 already?  

[Gaia]

JESUS [tornado fang], IT'S MEGA MAN 10.

I always felt like X9 and Legends are bombs of debate anyway, once it goes off, it will be awhile.

[Rad Lionheart]

I'd rather see a Legends 3 take shape.

[Flame]

Colored text! I wouldn't mind X1 mugs though.

The mugs were nice. then they got rid of them in X2 & 3. X4 brought them back to an extent, then X5 got rid of them again. X6 had them again, (for everyone this time) and then X7 got rid of it AGAIN. X8 then reintroduced them sort of again.
wait. Im sensing a bit of a pattern here...

[Protoman Blues]

Yes, because the SNES cant handle those kinds of cutscenes.

Just like Acid said, Black boxes with white text.

LoL, oh man this is priceless.

Let me just ask one more time, so I'm sure about this.  Even if it's the exact gameplay style of the X1-X3 games, everything intact including the lack of loading times, the SNES X style music, sound effects, etc., it would cease to be an SNES style game simply because they added in Anime Cutscenes?

Also, to follow this question up with another, if they made X9 as what I just described up above (SNES X1-X3 style gameplay w/ anime cutscenes), if you consider this to be a Saturn/PS1 game, you'd have no problem with this being X9?

It's always about Playable Blues with you, isn't it?

It's Playable Blues!  That's all that matters!

[HyperSonicEXE]

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEGENDS?!

No seriously, I wouldn't mind MML3 if it had Wii's controls and a more active plot. And something akin to Robot Masters + weapons and wasn't linear.

Also, lol Protoshredder.

[Black Mage J]

Well anyways guys, im off to go do some resting and whatnot, have fun talking about hte amazing fantastic wonderful, news we got.

Here's another thing that's been bugging me about this train of thought. Is it that the SNES can't handle the cutscenes or they can't handle the cutscenes based on your perception of what cutscenes should be like in the year 2010? I seem to recall a great number of games having memorable and well done cutscenes on the SNES you know (mostly RPGs but still). To say that either people aren't creative enough to work out a pretty cool way to do something like that or shun the notion of doing it that way because teh pretty and teh shiny have clouded your mind and dulled your reception to anything less that a certain standard is kinda "huh" inducing.

Also, let me be the first person to say that cutscenes, cinematics, and by extension cinematic gaming are all [tornado fang]ing jokes. As much as I'm a person who can see the merits to doing a lot of things differently and can see the positives with these types of games, when you have people that believe that more shiny is necessary to make a decent game, all I can do is sigh.

Well anyways guys, im off to go do some resting and whatnot, have fun talking about hte amazing fantastic wonderful, news we got.

We get it, you're going to sleep.

Hahaha, as soon as someone mentions "Legends", it suddenly becomes a god amongst MM sub-series.. I see how it is.

Yeah, I kind of see it too.. I think it's something about keeping quality, huh.. :/

[Solar]

Aren't there things in 9 that the NES can't handle anyways? I remember hearing that Galaxyman would cause it to explode.

you have to think of it this way PB. if Capcom could, they would be selling cartriges. which would have no cutscenes. this is what they are doing instead. Digital cartriges. they wont break away from the SNES or NES style mold.
but, to answer the question, no. I wouldnt. I dont have it against the system, its against they sprite style. ESPECIALLY for the X series. I am upset at 10, but hell, ill get over it in a few days. but if they did this to the X series, it would a be a long time before I get over it.

There are things that just barely break the mold, yes, but its nothing that the inexperienced player knows.

[Jericho]

I see no problems with Capcom selling cartridge equivalent games at a 10 dollar price point in 2010 for gameplay that is tried and true, timeless and needs no more or less.

[borockman]

Too bad our DWII isn't here, he will go nuts!

They wanted to. I forgot the exact reason they stated on why. Something about outdated technology, but I dont remember.
