What does Hideki Kamiya know about Rockman DASH?

[HokutoNoBen]

*Dunno if this is ready for the News page yet, if so, a mod can move it*

So, per the course for many Japanese developers, Kamiya (director of the ORIGINAL Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and Bayonetta, among others) is also on twitter. Amid all the hoopla relating to people hitting him up about his take on the new Dante design, and teasing about a possible Bayonetta successor, he had this to say just a few mere hours ago.

If you're Dash fan, you'll be happy soon. RT @OKeijiDragon @PG_kamiya Are you a Rockman DASH fan? I saw "ロックマンDASH" on one of your tweets

Now, it's reasonable to say that Kamiya still keeps contact with a number of people back at his "old stomping grounds" at Capcom. He's even directly stated as such in a blog post of his last year, where he and Kobayashi (DMC4 and Sengoku Basara producer) met at TGS last year. So, might we finally see this damn game some time soon...?  

[Protoman Blues]

News worthy enough for me! 

[Solar]

It really would be awesome if we finally got a Dash 3. It'd be awesomer if we got a Dash collection for consoles too, I really need to play 1 properly and 2 at all.

[GameSaver]

CHOO CHOOOOOO ALL ABOARD THE SPECULATION TRAIN! NEXT STOP CRAZY TOWN

probably some port of Legends or something for the PS3 network or something

[Jericho]

Well since I'm already hyped without an outlet, ahem.

*warning, HYPE fueled dream post incoming*

Triggoneta. You hear it here first.

[Protoman Blues]

Triggoneta. You hear it here first.

Someone draw this.

Someone draw this.

Complete with Tron as Luka for glorious victory.

But any way, Kamiya replied to a comment I made...

 
But you gotta believe Kawano san! RT @TreSanBan @PG_kamiya Rockman DASH?!? Don't toy with our hearts like that Kamiya-san!

Kawano-san? Any body familiar with that name...?  

[Flame]

*In b4 its just Trigger confirmed for MVC3*

[Jericho]

Kawano-san? Any body familiar with that name...?  

Yoshinori Kawano perhaps?

[Flame]

Oh? This guys been involved as back as BN2 and Zero 1, not to mention more recent games like 9.

[Fxeni]

Yoshinori Kawano perhaps?

Sounds like he's probably who he's referring to, looking at his track record. He was involved in quite a few Mega Man games, which includes all three Dash games.

[OKeijiDragon]

It's Hideki Kamiya.

When I got my reply back from Kamiya-san (I was the one who asked him), I was perplexed. I was like "HOLY [parasitic bomb]".

Plus around that same time, he posted a picture of him and Mega Man Legends 1 & 2, and Tron Bonne director Yoshinori Kawano at the TGS that's happening right now. I thought the timing was interesting too.

He also said to believe in Kawano-san.

Well you guys know that already... just wanted to say hi is all. He's quite enigmatic with a statement like that.

Oh? This guys been involved as back as BN2 and Zero 1, not to mention more recent games like 9.

He also directed the entire Zero series, and Dead Rising.

[Jericho]

It's Hideki Kamiya.

Trust me, out of everyone on RPM right now who wouldn't know how to spell his name, Ben is definitely not one of them.

I'm gonna try and curb my enthusiasm for what could be brewing right now DASH wise, especially after I had one heartbreak over "news" of the 3DS recently, but damn what a kickass time it is to be a gamer this year.

[HokutoNoBen]

Yep. He told ME to believe. As a NeoGAFfer...."I have....NOCHOICE!" [/General, X4]

Another thought? What if it was a 3DS game...?

Rockman 3DS...possible launch title or close enough to it...? *salivates*

That would be sexcellent indeed! 

[Jericho]

With 3DS being able to handle MT Framework in all its splendor, I say why the [tornado fang] not? Honestly though, platform choice isn't gonna bug me with this game if/when it's announced. As soon as I know what it's dropping for, the game and console will be preordered and picked up (if it's out now).

[Bueno Excelente]

Hoo boy. If Legends 3 is announced, it's gonna be massive in this forum.


...I hope it IS! I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to the massive bitching from all of you when [parasitic bomb] like new controls, character design changes and non-repetitive dungeons are announced! It will be DELICIOUS.

[Hypershell]

And we look forward to your bitching about whichever of those aspects are not included therefore signaling the lack of evolution in MegaMan games.

A near decade of skepticism has me ready to dismiss this as an MvC3 reference.  But I'm hopeful.  And I will try, very very hard, to not [sonic slicer] about console choice, whatever it may be (though if it's PS3-exclusive I'm going to be up [parasitic bomb]'s creek).

EDITS: Hm...  [sonic slicer] is censored, bitching isn't.

IT WILL BE KINECT EXCLUSIVE.

...AND IT WILL FEATURE HOLOGRAPHIC RIGHT ANALOG STICKS.

...THE WHOLE GAME WILL BE BASED ON RIGHT ANALOG STICKS.



And unless it's 2D, the damn game WILL have to evolve in some way from the previous titles. It's inevitable. And you won't find me complaining about that.

[ViperAcidZX]

Please, please, please let Legends 3 come into reallity, I haven't played Legends in a LONG time.

[TheOnly]

Then buy DASH 1 and 2.

[ViperAcidZX]

Don't have a PS3 of my own to play it. D:

[TheOnly]

..........Its for the PSOne...

[Flame]

Legends 3 is the Duke Nuekem of the Megaman franchise.

Capcom always teases Legends stuff, but we never actually get the damn game.
