Lots of interesting stuff here.

[Flame]

I dont want Snes X9.

[N-Mario]

Yea... I'd rather have another 8-bit megaman game.

[Jericho]

In before the never ending debate over X1-3 style or new style....

Dammit Flame.

Still though, I stand by the notion of kicking things back to the old mechanics with a nicer or newer coat of paint.

[Flame]

meh. for a comeback a return to the roots was cool, but now its time to try a new direction. MM10, should be something different. not necessarily 3D, but still something different. something NEW.
as for X9, no Snes graphics. even PSX style is a *maybe* I wouldnt mind playing an Snes X game, I havnt minded for the first 3, and I would mind even less a PSX styled X game, I loved X4-6, but with the way that the X series' story has evolved, making it 16 bits isnt a good Idea, unless capcom is really willing to throw away story for "nostalgia" when 16 bit style X games arnt that nostalgic. X1 is in a category all its own, but I wouldnt find another X game in its style "nostalgic" id find it cheap. cheap and lazy.  Nostalgia is fine, but it doesnt always work in certain situations.
if the DO make an Snes X9. fine, whatever, ill accept it, but  I really hope they dont. since X1, the X series has grown int terms of storyline,  and the gameplay has deepened with it.

what? it was eventually going to be started by someone else anyway!

[Satoryu]

i'd prefer Capcom not abandon the X8/MHX style. but it'd play X9 no matter what the visual style, so long as the gameplay is up to snuff.

this.
they had finally gotten it right, all to abandon it now?
DO NOT WANT.

[Rodrigo Shin]

I miss the times I so far as wanted an X9.

On second thought, I don't.

[Shinichameleon / Nayim]

Well, i don't care about gameplay, graphics or etc, the most important is Storyline, if Capcom decided make SNES, do you think Axl's sprite look like? just like Megaman 9, Bass, who did not appear in Nes style.

[Align]

Well, i don't care about gameplay, graphics or etc, the most important is Storyline

DIE, MONSTER! YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD!

[Acid]

1UP: Will we ever be lucky enough to get a Mega Man X9 -- but with Super NES era graphics and music?

HT: It all depends on fans' demand! We might see that day, as long as there is passion!

Well MY demand is BIG.

So get going.

[Zan]

Heh, everybody's so busy with their SNES X9, they completely ignore that the cataclysm got denied once again...

[Fxeni]

Oi, again with that stupid, pointless discussion. People are gonna [sonic slicer] either way. I'm not even gonna bother tossing my hat in again, since most of you already know my opinion on the matter.

Heh, everybody's so busy with their SNES X9, they completely ignore that the cataclysm got denied once again...

I noticed, but I think that once Inafune said that it wasn't the case, that theory was almost completely wiped out anyways except for stragglers who just refuse to let go (which is a common occurence in basically everything, anyways).

[Flame]

Heh, everybody's so busy with their SNES X9, they completely ignore that the cataclysm got denied once again...

Ignore?
NEVAR.

WWWWRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYY!!!

[Protoman Blues]

Well MY demand is BIG.

So get going.

...HOW BIG IS IT?

LoL, couldn't help myself.

[Zan]

I noticed, but I think that once Inafune said that it wasn't the case, that theory was almost completely wiped out anyways except for stragglers who just refuse to let go (which is a common occurence in basically everything, anyways).

It isn't just the cataclysm though, even if there are people that don't want to believe Inafune's statement, this time they said that any notion of them having been killed, not just by Zero, is not official.

[Flame]

Im not changing the inafune metdrop.

[Acid]

Im not changing the inafune metdrop.

My version is better anyway.

>:C

[Flame]

You have one?

[Acid]

You have one?

[Flame]

Oh yeah. now I remember. that was awesome. XDXD
well mine takes place at another time. with another noob.

I think they're taking the whole, "Nostalgia" idea bit much, but I'd rather see MMX9 as 32 bit style and more fast paced like the snes X games. But they should actually "try" to move foward in a new direction with gameplay at least.

[Waifu]

The cateclysm is over now, we can all rest!  

[HyperSonicEXE]

this.

DO NOT WANT.

There are so many things not right with the X8/MHX visual style, it's not even funny.

The styling is okay, but clarify what's what! Can't even tell what objects are ground you can stand on, sometimes.
Or even hazards.

[Acid]

Can't even tell what objects are ground you can stand on, sometimes.

So, do you have problems witrh the floor in later X games too? That weird abstract perspective freaks me out.
