Fan support for Mega Man X9
With the release of Mega Man 9 and slivers of info about an all new Mega Man game in the works, fan enthusiasm has been on the rise, especially with the proposal for reviving other series. One of Capcom’s big watchwords as of late has been “We’ll make it if enough fans want it!” Following that promise, a fan named Jeff has begun MegaManX9.com, a support site to encourage Capcom to produce the eponymous game. The site specifically supports having X9 created as a downloadable title, and answering questions left by Mega Man X8, among others. If you’re a big fan of the X series, or just want more classic revivals in general, it’s definitely a site you should go to for showing your support.

My suggestions about Mega Man X9 is that I think that Capcom should make they should make a sequel of the game that took place after Lumine damaged Axl’s helmet and a fragment of what purple spore inside of it. I also think about what’s going to happen to Axl on whether he’ll still be on the good side or turn to the dark side and if he’s going to live or die.
I also think that game should also have some new improvements.
a. X, Zero, and Axl should get a new looks, a new armors, new abilities and new weapons.
b. New characters, new story, and new enemies
c.New Maverick Bosses (Cheetah, Hawk, Coyote, Grasshopper, Raccoon, Fox, Badger,Pterodactyl, Snap-Dragon (Name of a flower), and/or Cockroach)
d. A Non-Sigma Villian
e. 2D/3D graphics
f. The game should be for Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360
g. some mini games
if CM is canon and took place after X8 then what ever happens axl no matter what, he should be okay
If they make it a 16 bit downloadable title, they will get much more support… that is the feeling I am getting just from browsing around, but regardless, they need to break free of the silly 8 maverick rule and so on, they need to change it up a bit.. seriously. the minigames in x8 were a great start on alternations from the other x games.
In response to Gamia above. Command Mission could very well happen after X8. Its just Capcom, as we know, loves to bring new things and that ultimately skews the storyline. Why did Axl leave? (found later in CM) Where did Shadow come in? Why were they all in hyper sleep at the start? Why does X have a new design (of course, that can asked about the Zero series.) I think X9 should continue what was brought up in the main X storyline, so to speak.
thing is, if its a 16 bit Downloadable title, how the hell can they include much more story than the original Snes games had? they are going to have to choose.
answering questions and explaining open ends from X8,
or,
stupid retro obsession.
I for one, do not support a 16 bit X9. for the classic series its understandable, but not the X series, which is known to improve on its graphics every generation. this would be a downgrade. especally after they had been doing so good graphically wise with X8 and IHX…
I agree with Flame. X8 was so damned pretty… I’d like them to keep that for X9
I’d rather go with gameplay rather than upgrading the looks. While they’ve proved to us that they can make a decent 3D game if they put some effort into it (MHX), the SNES games still had the most responsive controls in the series.
As for making a 16 bit downloadable title, they aren’t really confined to making things that would’ve only worked on the SNES. Even MM9 managed to have some pretty expansive storyline bits that were unheard of on the NES. I have no doubt they could actually make good cutscenes in the 16-bit style, or even a 16-bit animation.
Response to the first comment of Martin Williams,
Good names for sure, but Boomer Kuwanger is supposed to be a roach of sorts if I am not mistaken?
Isn’t Boomer a stag beetle of sorts?
But Boomer Kuwanger is a beetle.
I’d like them to make it a downloadable title with at least PS2 level graphics for PS3, 360, and Wii, but I’d also like them to put it on the PSP as well. (if they have to put it on a UMD to do it, I’d gladly pay the extra money to have the portable version)
Heck, if they do 16-bit or even 32-bit animation, they need to give PSP owners a chance to get it for their system, unlike what they did with Mega Man 9. (the file was small enough for the PSP to handle, but they just didn’t see the potential)
Just for the record, I still don’t have a next-gen console but I have a PSP, so that’s why I pushing for a PSP release.
The title should be Mega Man X9: The Coming of the End. Here’s my idea of what X9 should be like:
1. They start with Axl in the ER (or whatever reploids call it) for his helmet and the purple spore inside. (He has the thing with Zero that he gets stronger in contact with the maverick virus.)
2. It should have some mini games and free roaming when not on missions (So the maverick hunter base gameplay is like Command Mission with free roaming and interacting with the characters but the level gameplay is X8 style.) The game will probably be for PS2, Xbox 360, and PS3.
3. X, Zero, Axl and the new character ALL get at least one armor from doctor light. (X is the ultimate armor copy x uses so I’m gonna name it Seraph armor, Zero should get the classic Black armor, Axl should get the stealth armor, and the new character should get a armor with some of Zero’s features.) They update their weapons, armor, maybe their looks (The screw for the crystal on Axl’s helmet like in ZX Advent just for fan service for Axl fans) X should have the command mission armor. Hyper mode should be usable until an time limit runs out. (Maybe like 4 minutes real time.)
4. You start with X and Zero and you run into a new character, (For example, I’m gonna use a character that for now looks like Iris who eerily says his name and he sees it on her lips) Zero goes into a state of shock and you have to follow her while fighting off mavericks.
5. You enter a cut scene when you get into the boss room and Zero is incapacitated, while X fights and once you get the boss half way the new character shoots with a buster shot gun at the boss and lands in front of X with a purple saber that was ejected from the buster similar to Zero’s buster gun in the Zero series. X says Iris slowly and Iris turns and replies (long time no see X…Zero) the two win and you can update them with chips (like X8).
6. You fight a few bosses and unlock Axl (Who has an updated copy shot to where in place of weapons he gets the bosses A-Trans and he can proceed through the level as them.) He has a giga attack for his armor that is similar to the giga crush of ZX Advent and a homing shot for wide range shooting.
7. Go through the game like any other X game (defeat all 8 mavericks and get the chips to power up your characters.) Then, the boss is a boss that looks like Omega (Cuz we all know how capcom just loves foreshadowing things) and then the final boss is Axl under the influence of the maverick virus. He survives but is severely wounded and it ends with the four all going back to Maverick Hunter HQ.
8. Then we move on to X10! ^_^
well I personally think X9 should stray from the eight boss bit and INCREASE difficulty by going to sixteen mavericks (eight regular bosses,with one Maverick from each of the MMX games (Storm Eagle,Flame Stage,Neon Tiger,Magma Dragoon,Spiral Pegacion,Metal Shark Player,Vanishing Gungaroo and Dark Mantis) as mini bosses and defeating the mini bosses is how you earn armor,weapon and item upgrades,with a system akin to X5,as the game progresses,the boss energy meter increases. X9 should also begin on the Elf Wars,and as for a Non-Sigma final boss such as the like in X8 with Lumine,I implore Capcom to use something from the Megamissions Card Series…Irregular/Return X.
By the way MMN, thank you so much for featuring the site, means a lot.
@Phoenix
Perhaps they could do like what they did with Mega Man 3, and have four stages that are similar to four of the stages that you already beat, and halfway through (as well as at the end of the stage), you have a new generation reploid that turns into one of the bosses from one of the previous games. (what bosses are there could be determined by an online survey or something)
Mabye they could do 8 bosses then when your about to defeat the main villain,an off screen explosion occurs and 24 new mavericks and robot masters(revived and upgraded)start to destroy the zone the game takes place in and you have to destroy them.Ooohh if they put in a robot master and/or maverick i would want metalman and boomerkuwanger(but where they could jump then midair dash).anyone with a rbm/mav. pairing id like to hear.
oh for the 24 i mean 12 of each.
Here’s my idea for eight Maverick names if anyone wants to design any of them. (since I just don’t have the time)
Hyperspeed Cheetah
)
Nightshade Cobra
Sonic Falcon
Napalm Foxhound
Cosmic Scorpion
Arctic Sealion (Sea Lion contracted)
Steel Raptor (or “Steal” Oviraptor
Liquid Platypus
Okay, so the last one wasn’t as good as the rest, I ran out of ideas. Notice that none of them reuse parts of previous Maverick names. (unless you count the Japanese version of Overdrive Ostrich)
Holy crap! Capcom better make this as official! Or else they will die!! >:E If Capcom officially releases this, then it has to be release on the Wii!
Okay guys, seriously, take into consideration the following:
1: IF in fact there is an X9, and it’s an official Keiji Inafune creation, technically there would be no mention whatsoever of X6-8, let alone CM, considering he DISOWNED those games as non-canon. MEANING there would have to be a new story altogether, thus Axl never existed technically, he was just fan service.
2: Even if it DOES follow X8, technically CM took place after X8 I’m pretty sure, considering it still has axl and it makes mention to the “new generation” and “evolution”, which was also mentioned in X8, so it makes sense, right? So yeah…Bit of a problem with the theory of an “X9″ right there. As much as I would love one, there’s just too much they’d have to change around.
3: as for the platform and system ideas, the character names and all that, good job, I like. As for the platforms, no way. It shouldn’t be EXCLUSIVE to any system, and you do NOT waste time on an X game by making it 8-bit. It’s the 21st century, we should be done with 8-bit, leave that to the original Megaman games. it should be for EVERY system if you ask me, an X game should be able to be supported on all the consuls of today (PS2 still included). After all, a game as awesome as from the X series deserves to be enjoyed by anyone, am I right?
4: The proposed story-lines I’m reading there just kind of suck =/ I’m sorry but it just doesn’t make sense, especially with Iris returning, seriously, wtf? We all saw that she died in X4, right guys? So they’re gonna have to do a little better than that, AT LEAST make the storyline make sense (as was explained in my first and second points, that would take quite a bit of work most likely) ANYWAYS, long story short, there’s gotta be a better storyline and I’m sure CAPCOM can think of something.
Iris returning? Do you mean in the Xtreme games? They were set between X2X3 and X3X4 I’m pretty sure.
I don’t think Capcom will be making an extreme game.
Hi, bros.
I always loved the megaman series, since the day that I knew a videogame
I’m a dreamer that always is imaginating how the whole story is conected, I’m mexican, but thats not the case…
1. First of all I thing that capcom concludes so great with the series’ coneccion, I’ve always figured that megaman(classic) ended with a robot crisis because every mad cientist control them for his own. Thats the why Dr. Ligth have an idea of create a superior robot, more like a human being; Since that day he spent much time creating it(X borns) with the classic megaman base he creates a new megaman model: Megaman X(Which dr. ligth somehow implanted a kind of human soul, like hub in megaman.exe)[or maybe megaman is hub from the begining, because is the year 200X, Megaman classic in 20XX a succesion maybe...] At least I’d like to think that way
2. From the X series, is someting more frustrating because the X5 have much GREAT but confusing endings, I think that endings are the true endings but from all X series
Whatever a very nice part is lost, that the why I crazy about the X9 part 
Well, based in the ultimate endings of X series (megaman X5 endings) I’d like to think that after zero went with that reploid cientist, was because they finished all mavericks, and the virus that cause replodids going mavericks with the mother elf (zero virus and x’s DNA), finished that, zero was the only one who Will become maverick (is what i´ve learned from megamanzero 
) That’s when that unknown reploid cientist explain that the zero virus was to deep in his base program and was to dangerous extracting it, the only way was purifying his body and transplant his soul(ciber elve) to a copy while the purifying was complete, about 100 years. Meanwhile X never knew what happen to his friend zero and created his dream Neoarcadia where the people and reploids existed peacefully. Cool huh! 
That have some sense, don’t you think 
I think to basing on all I Know that Wily, zero´s creator, wanted back his creation and interupted the PURIFICATION and destructed the lab :s (bastard).
And X running out of energy, diseased, someway becoming a cyber elve, and ciel create a copy, but that you already know…
3. After that I’m not really sure… some one mixed the civer elves of zero and X with technology and made them BIOMETALS. I’m playing Megaman ZX Right now I didn’t a DS
Well, what I wanted to express was my motivation for the whole story, that Keiji Inafune created, and dream that he read this
Also I need job ha haha
Whatever, In Megaman X9 I hope that continues with X8 events, something about the unknown past of AXL, that for my point of view is a wily creation too!!
When luminne broke his helmet a wily skull type chip, can be seen!! Do you see it? Damn I get exited and writed so much, lol hope someone read it
There is so much more things in my mind about megaman but that’s enough for today(falling asleep ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz).
Hope you enjoyed, bros. oh and sorry for some gramatical errors. ENGLISH-> 85%

@ Martin Williams
Yeah I know, just responding to RedMaverickZero.
Hey, I was putting DOWN the idea of Iris returning, it just seems too stupid to me.
(Although I DO hope you guys payed attention to my previous comment, it should help further understanding)
one other thought I had…why not use the “Limited” Mavericks as well,there’s a series that’s still untapped,and since Lumine crushed Sigma…why wouldn’t someone revive Doppler?
I personally would like it to be similar to MM8 in a way. Something with awesome music, talking characters and kind of a movie like story line.
since axl is dead ,zero and x can use their memory dna for certain weapons upgrade on certain weapons and abilties that their lack or lacking notice how damage armor or effect them in major battle. they use this dna repair body to make also completely whole again. but his life stream that had get cut to system that hold you and emenies on the same level with you fight them off gain power up their armors. verses at same tokken you have at can destory markvick hunter on the field if not careful,make more you strong for ultimate armor will be.x probably 7 armors body and 2 ultimate froms that can upgrade switch switch part around get body style change. zero gains all type air combos or shadow, or nightmare bodystyle changes. there two way end the game played third third time
