Capcom Expresses “Other Concerns” Than the Name of Rockman Xover
Looking at the responses to our hands-on with Rockman Xover at the Tokyo Game Show, one gets the impression that many of you are not especially thrilled with what you have seen. Some of you have even turned the tables on Capcom and referred to the game’s title as “Rockman’s Over,” given that this is the most we’ve seen from Capcom for the franchise heading into its 25th anniversary.
This led Mavrickindigo to put the question to Capcom USA over whether they anticipated that the title would be used against them in such a way, if Capcom USA had any input at all, or if we could see a renaming for U.S. release a la Mega Man Legends.
The resulting response from Christian Svensson, Senior Vice-President and Corporate Officer for Capcom, is interesting:
This will no doubt raise some flags, particularly among the game’s detractors. Of course, he may simply mean that he’s not in charge of naming, and his role concerns other matters. We’ll just leave you to draw your own conclusions.
Thanks for the tip and screencap, Mavrickindigo!

I just don’t care anymore.
@Servbot – Totally agree. After the cancellation of MML3 and the announcement of Xover, I feel like CoJ is basically telling the world they don’t give a **** about Mega Man anymore. They aren’t hiding it.
Someone stop Capcom from ruining my childhood please!
Capcom doesn’t care about Mega Man anymore.
I hate to say it guys, but I think Mega Man’s dead. When they release Mega Man It’s Over, it literally WILL be over. It just goes to show you that the only person who CARED about the fanchise was Inafune, because if Capcom truly cared about Legends 3, and cares about what the fans want, they wouldn’t have canceled it.
im in my childhood and capcom killed legends and now xover sucks. capcom is probley will go bankrupt
it’s not just CoJ…it’s Capcom as a whole who cares not for Megaman. Nope,let’s spin out several SF titles…
