…So, he said we’d be waiting “a while” and everybody thinks the series is dead? Huh? True, it’s very quiet on the Mega Man front–after Star Force 3 we have no concrete game in the works, which is a far cry from not all that long ago with Battle Network, X8, Command Mission, the PSP games, the collections, and the ZX games. But, while it is the first time in recent years where this has happened, it’s a far cry from the only time. After Mega Man X6 there was at least a couple of years before the Gameboy Advance came around and resurrected the franchise with Battle Network.

We need to understand that Mega Man is not a mainstream series anymore, so it’s not always gonna be a priority for Capcom. They have other franchises that, quite honestly, just make them more money. BUT, the niche that we Mega Man fans fill is not a small niche by any means, and the higher ups at Capcom do have a certain…fondness for their old mascot, so the franchise will not flat out die any time soon. It’s just gonna take some time to rest sometimes.

Man, all of ya just need to keep your traps shut about Mega Man being dead, cause it’s NOT. How long was it between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime? 8-10 years or something like that? In fact, Metroid is proof that a series can come back from hibernation and be back on top, so all of ya just keep your pessimistic mouths shut and wait like Seth suggests.

As much as it is sad to hear that there is no Mega Man game apparently to look forward to, I’m very skeptical of Seth Killian really knowing what’s going on with Capcom in regards to Mega Man.

For starters wasn’t there recently a boss contest held for some unknown Mega Man game…. I mean it was posted about here;

Whether in fact for Star Force who knows, although I think it would be cool to see one of the other series get a surprise sequel. ZX is my current priority for a sequel. I would love to see a Mega Man X sequel though… on WiiWare preferably though mind you in 16-Bit graphics… although many aren’t for it. I just enjoyed the tight gameplay and the music more in those times.

@cobalt

an interesting idea, but I already have a stack of strategy titles to get through (mostly ps2). I crave more 2D platforming action!!

I’d love to see them take the ideas of ZX, but expand on the open map structure aspect of it to be even more interconnected like Metroid and Castlevania. I think both ZX games were really solid, but if they made the map even more interconnected like that I think they could make the greatest game ever.

I think a “Megaman X: The Elf Wars” game would be cool.

maybe it would be a strategy game or something.

Drama queens.

Rockman’ll never die.

He’s been around for more than twenty years. He’s more or less a sociological institution in the world, now.

Capcom hasn’t beaten it’s dead horse to a pulp just yet.

It doesn’t necessarily show that ZX3 is being made, just that they left the window open for it. Legends 2 and X8 have open endings too, but who can say when they’ll ever be picked up. Still it’s certainly not out of the question.

ZX advent secret ending shows ZX3 is being made. Calm down society
