New Mega Man Animated Series coming to Television in 2017

[Dr. Wily II]

3DS remasters of ZX series pls

*Aile in HD* HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

I too will need some more tangibility to feel hyped.

[Phi]

If only the 3DS was HD...

[Dr. Wily II]

IT'S HD COMPARED TO THE OLD DS

[Protoman Blues]

Yep.

The best thing that could happen is that this serves as a repeat of what EXE/BN did for the brand back in the early 2000s: new franchise, new take on a classic character revamped for a modern day audience, which goes on to sell well and makes the brand healthier, as a whole. Whether that means revamping a Rockman we already know (Classic or X), or a brand new series, that's up to Capcom and co. But to say the least, it's the most exciting thing we've had to look forward to regarding the brand and I'm looking forward to it. Besides, remember how we were still getting X and Zero games, even as EXE was the main flagship during that period? If I could at least get a periodic Classic series release every so often in between releases of the new series, that'd be nice.

In any case, I know someone over at Archie Comics must be whooping and jumping for joy over this news. They're looking to be FINALLY getting some help from Capcom when it comes to trying to sell a comic based on one of their IPs!

BEN!! How's everything going, old chum?

I still like that show, despite how stupid it is.

.. ok, because of how stupid it is.

I know nothing of this people or they shows they made in the past, but can't be bad to have more exposure for the franchise. Toys, comics, manga reprints, smash bros, maybe is time to make a game.

...You haven't heard of Ben 10?

Kosmos is like a rare mythical fairy and is probably not going to be seen here for another 5 months.

I don't watch cartoons, I know the name but never saw and episode. 

[Sakura Leic]

That's kind of understandable then.

Well, take what you can of it, the first image of the 2017 Mega Man series is shown:



I kinda like the "Tron-like" look they've given him though they can have a larger image of him and make his arms and legs a little buffer but it is an art style. Many might not agree with it.

Then the synopsis:

"Aki Light is a robot living in Silicon City. Despite being a robot, he still leads a normal life and attends school. He also has quite a secret. His programming allows him to transform into Mega Man, complete with a Mega Buster and nanocore armor. He has to balance leading a dual life, where he's a normal, robot attending school with other kids, while also transforming into Mega Man to protect Silicon City. Rush will also return as his pet robot dog."

What do you guys think?

Expect a lot of people crying and spewing insults on how Capcom screwed it up once again...

[Amatiramisu]

I'm cautiously curious.

[Sakura Leic]

Hmm I don't know, it looks promising to me.

[Nexus]

Judging by this and another press release I saw, it's pretty much the situation I feared if i'm gauging this correctly; their own continuity take, more of a comedy / slice of life focus with the action being something that's just expected (like the new Powerpuff Girls or Sonic Boom), and new things like the 'Mega-Mini' character that sound like toyline advertisements.

I took a look at what people say about the PPG reboot and... ughhhh. I am speechless.

I really hope this new Mega Man series ISN'T too bad, but it's like people are afraid of making kid superhero shows nowadays.

[Quickman]

I'm cautiously optimistic. 

[Strider Xhaiden]

The concept reminds me of the DreamWave comics.

[Protoman Blues]

Looks somewhat promising. We'll see though.

[Flame]

I have no hope whatsoever, and that design is atrocious. Never thought Id be praising Xover design

[Phi]

Spaghetti limbs. What a totally unexpected surprise.

I'm just cautious.
