There's still Facebook and Twitter if you really want to get involved.

It's seriously not a big deal.

But it is.
They can't be in InafGOD's super awesome club now.

If that happened to me, I would kill myself immediately... wait, [parasitic bomb]!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Mighty NO.9, the game looks excellent, the bots are well designed (my favourite being the traffic cone bot) and especially Mighty whom i think resembles a futuristic version of megaman. the gameplay is exactly like the classic series which feels very solid and fluid. But as great as it is, i just don't think i could ever find it in my heart to let mightNO9 replace the megaman i know and love these past decades, as the series has been around for far too long now for me to just throw my hands up and say "Alright MightNo9 is the new Megaman now! i will absolutely give it all my love and affection to Mighty for the rest of my life! Farewell Megaman!" No, No, No, I simply cannot do that no matter what. Mighty for me is not Megaman and will never be megaman. Not now, not ever.

When MightyNO9 was first announced, I recall reading all those comments on KOTAKU and Kickstarter, and it upsetted me to no end to see those so-called "long-time Megaman fans" actually praising MightyNO9 as a "true successor" to Megaman. they rambled on and on about how MightyNO9 is 1000x times better than megaman, so much better that everyone will love Mighty and NOBODY will want to play Capcom's Megaman anymore. Then there's the other lot of them who funded and supported the game because they saw it as a means of getting back at Capcom for shelving the entire Megaman franchise, they were even delighted at the idea that MightyNO9 will someday "defeat" Capcom and force them out of business. Those of you who've been following Mighty's progress on kickstarter for a year now should know what i'm talking about; there really are people who wishes ill upon Megaman and Capcom and would want nothing more than for MightyNO9 to succeed them.

Now, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which is why to this day I've not even once put up an argument with them on Kickstarter.
To me Megaman will always be Megaman, and the games will always be Megaman. no matter how good MightyNO9 is, I won't ever accept it as some "replacement" or "true successor" for Megaman. I'll enjoy Megaman/MightyNO9 for what they are but I don't think they will ever truly replaces one or the other. I know how much I love Megaman so I know Mighty will NEVER replace him. If somewhere along the future Capcom really does make a new Megaman game then I'd be as happy as a clam.

What was the point of creating a seperate thread about this?

You could've, I don't know, POSTED THAT IN THE MIGHTY NO. 9 THREAD.

Merging this.

How come the only one who has the same opinion on this as me has to be this idiot, it's not fair.

I do too, I don't think this is a replacement for Megaman it's a new series.  But at the same time unless somehow there's a Megaman game with effort put into it then I don't care about Megaman anymore. 

[Archer]

But it's not a Mega Man game.

[Sakura Leic]

But it's not a Mega Man game.

I agree with you it's not Megaman at all, but at this point I don't care about Megaman anymore unless there's effort.

[Kieran]

Megaman is dead.  Capcom has seen to that and I can't imagine they'll ever do anything else with the franchise beyond shitty iOS games.

Mighty #9 is not Megaman, but it is a spiritual successor made by the guy most well known for creating Megaman in the first place, in the same way Bayonetta is a spiritual successor to Devil May Cry.  Take it as you will.

Well they're certainly not going to bother now that all have the fans have that opinion.

[Zan]

I see no reason to consider Beck as Rock's replacement. After all, none of his successors ever did replace him. Mighty No. 9 can and will exist alongside Rockman.

[Phi]

Capcom wouldn't have bothered, regardless of what the fans think. They don't care.

[Kieran]

As proven by their "[tornado fang] off" reaction to all the intense fan rage that MML3 got cancelled.

[Sakura Leic]

And begging sure as hell didn't work, nor will it ever.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I'm fine with Mighty No. 9 replacing Megaman so to speak. As said above, Devil may Cry compared to Bayonetta. This feels like the next Megaman series to many many people, myself included. I really do view it as sort of a rebirth / continuation of the franchise. At least for now I'm pretty comfortable with the fact that this may actually 'be' the continuation of the franchise, even with the realization that Capcom may never in fact make another Megaman game again.

I however will never resist another Capcom made Megaman game if it does appear. Well, so long as it's not some turd on a paper plate that is Xover of course.

[Protoman Blues]

Capcom needs to abandon Rock entirely...

...so they can focus more on Blues! 

[Acid]

I'd like to see more Punk but you know

So I just read an introduction to the plot on the Mighty #9 site.

Naturally the first thing to jump out at me was the use of "20XX" and "Dr. White."
