Mega Man’s going Online… again?
Capcom of Japan has revealed their 2010-2011 plan and make mention of a new Rockman game in the works… in Asia.
Dubbed “Rockman Online” (“Mega Man Online” in the English version of their Investor Relations report) and to be developed with Neowiz Games Corporation of Korea, could this be the true nature of the recently discovered Mega Man Universe trademark? NeoWiz Games is known for its work on other online titles such as A.V.A., Duel Gate, Battlefield Online, Crossfire, Warlord, and the like. The game is expected to be out by March of 2011, following with Capcom’s business strategy for the upcoming fiscal year.
Little other information exists, but speculation abounds of a Mega Man PC massively multiplayer online title, considering the popularity of the genre in Asian regions. Currently, Capcom’s only foray into online gaming has been Monster Hunter Frontier Online.

Remember when he said that X9 wasnt the direction they were going with X?
BRICKS HAVE BEEN SHAT
*stares at RockMaster’s link pic* O.O …..
Is that… X??!! O.o I love the X series but the image puzzles me.
Hey, it DOES say 2007 at the bottom! Not so new, huh?
And I had no idea there are others like me right here… (Yeah, I said before I’m a South Korean. What’s it to you?) Annyeong
I don’t know whether it will be X series or not and why it is in 2007.
they have no reference about Rockman online in detail yet.
They just made a public statement about production of Rockman online today.
I don’t tell a lie.
I captured same today’s articles about Rockman Online.

That picture made me nerdgasm, seriously
also that 2007 may mean its been in development for that long
Thanks for the pic RockMaster!!
X! Yes! Now… if this isn’t released in the US I think I’m gonna give up on Capcom. I used to dream about having an X online game.
Actually, Battle Network would prove to give a better atmosphere for an online game. The net should make it easier to create a better world, community, and many other things. Viruses and bugs would be easier to be made as enemies than mavericks.
Other series of Rockman might be too hard to create a community-based concept rather than the Battle Network series would.
@Clucking Chicken: Didn’t we just get an announcement from Inafune that he was going to try to lead Capcom to doing things on a more ‘global’ scale as opposed to Japan-only?
I may not be that fluent in Korean, but I still know how to read and write Korean, luckily. I checked out RockMaster’s link and read the articles myself. I can translate if you want.
