I was talking about this with my classmates the other day. The Question is:

Do you think it's better for the Mega Man Franchise to move to another company? Where they actually CARE about it?

If that will happen, I guess it's better to leave our Blue boys to Nintendo. Yes. Nintendo. Why? Because no matter how times have changed, Nintendo never had the thought of changing the looks of their characters just to make them look "modern". They continue to create games no matter how casual or hardcore, as long they know that people love playing them.

Sega... I dunno about that place, they already have a Blue Mascot for them LOL.


What do you think? Do you think it's time for Mega Man to move on? Or continue struggling its existence inside the greedy clutches of CRAPCOM?

Oh so I thought Regal had started this topic, so I was gonna say something funny and mildly insulting to him, but its someone new with his same view.

So dude, its not going to happen. We've had how many topics now?

http://megamanx9.com...n-to-part-ways/
And that same topic on TMMN....
And various times in other topics that I am far to lazy to look up because it is not worth my time. I truthfully don't think I need to prove anything withthis thread exists.


So, until I feel you have deemed yourself otherwise, I shall note you as 'New-Regal'

[starforcenetwork]

Well EXCUSE me for not noticing that topic.

Plus, even if I already saw that topic, I wouldn't have read it, because like you said, I'm also lazy to read it and also not worth my time. No offense, just saying. :)

Only if it goes to Inafune or Inti Creates. The only two who seem to LOVE the shit out of the blue smurf.

So, because he thinks it could be better to hand over Mega Man to someone else, he's automatically the new Regal? its not like he started making Inappropriate threads, or doing anything else Regal had done. (from what I've seen)

Though on topic, It doesn't really matter to me what company has him at the moment, but if things get worse, I'd think it be best to have him with Inafune.

It's hard to answer. I feel that Mega Man should go back with Inafune because it was his idea, but then again, I am interested to see a change in the games. Don't get me wrong, because I do not think bad of him, but he tended to make the games carry on without any big updates. I've been waiting to see more. I would like to just see how CAPCOM carries on the Mega Man franchise same way Disney carried on Marvel. Anyway, I do feel bad for Inafune, but I do have interest to see where things go from here.

[Sigma Zero X]

Let's see, the easy answer is the franchise should. The real question is which company should earn the rights.

If Legends is to survive, either CyberConnect2 or Inafune's company should get the franchise. I don't know about IntiCreates's credentials in 3d gaming.

If this concerns the survival of the other series, it should be Inafune's company or IntiCreates.


But will Capcom let Mega Man go? Not for a while.

I don't understand why though... They've made it painfully clear to us within the last couple of years that they really don't care about Mega Man.. at all. ESPECIALLY this year.

It's something I've been thinking about too, that eventually Capcom will just completely drop Mega Man like a bad habit for some reason, and that everything they've been doing is some sort of "phasing out" process. Honestly though, you're right SZX. It won't be for a while, because they seem to LOVE Zero, and Zero is Mega Man related after all. Until the fighting games lose their momentum and Capcom moves on with something else.. it looks like there's no hope for us to see the blue bomber again.. =/

More than not caring, its just they dont know how to make Megaman games anymore. They dont know what to do with him gamewise. they need to find a way to make a good Mega Man game. otherwise, you cant deny, we have gotten more merchandise than ever. D Arts figures, manga translations... the problem with Capcom is their PR skills are -45.

[Albert]

I can say that I seriously want another company to be incharge of the MM franchise. But, like SZX said, the question is what company would adopt it? I mean a franchise with 5 different eras could easily help or hurt the adopting company. Although CAPCOM has already lost their credibility, I suppose any company would be better IMO. This is assuming Inafune wouldn't take it, he would be my first choice.

[sluggish]

I think it should move.Capcom has become too mainstream to have interesting ideas for the franchise(s).Because most of their brain power has left the Capcom.This is why they are playing safe with the multiplayer cross-overs and letting NT to develop Ninja theory.They are just a shell of a company now.Relaying on money to fill the lack of inspiration with huge budget, eye candy projects

As for megaman., I agree with Volt-kid.It would be interesting to see what others could do with megaman's potential.I know Inafune loves it. But loving a franchise so much can also hurt it.Like a mother who doesn't let his child to go away for education because she is afraid.Let the child go dammit.Maybe he can score someday this way

Well action figures and manga translations take a smaller amount of time to make than an actual video game, and it hasn't been too long since Inafune retired. CAPCOM could possibly have a game in the works as well as releasing related merchandises. And who know, maybe the next game will be pretty decent.

Hopefully someone is willing to buy the ip , soon. (Like within a couple years.) I don't see Capcom putting forth any effort to look for a suitable company to take on the Mega-Man franchise , unless they are waving a buck over their head. They want to keep those merchandise sales figures for as long as they can. (This is Capcom after all.)

Hopefully Mega-Man doesn't turn out to be the John Cena of video-games & be all about the merchandise , teasing & non- entertaining value , if the ip stays with Capcom.

[Arpia]

^^ hopefully if people don't buy what they're selling, maybe they'd think it's milked dry and give up the ip sooner. Actually, if capcom's argument is that there's little fanbase for our boy, then why do they keep rolling out the merchandise? as according to them, there shouldn't be many people that would pick it up... yet they're still releasing ports and giving the go ahead for figures.

[Yllisos Zanon]

It's not the company, in general speaking. It is Capcom of Japan. They are making Mega Man games for Mobile phones, for Japan only. In fact, they have a lot of games, that never left Japan.

If you ask me, let Capcom of America take over the Mega Man franchise. Look at the Castlevania series, Metroid at that. They did that move, and it was probably their better move for those franchises.

Capcom of Japan, they are just hogging the development.

I still feel my point stands, whether it's Capcom as a whole or just Capcom Jpn. They still continue releasing these ports and everything else. Even though they've shut down production of games, because mr blue apparantly does not sell.

[Sigma Zero X]

My concern is why is Capcom still continuing the production of Rockman Online and left Megaman Legends 3 cancelled.

Capcom outsourced some development responsibities to NeoWiz for Rockman Online. Capcom could have done the same with Megaman Legends 3 through assigning most of the development duties to Inticreates or CyberConnect2. Outsourcing development productions supposedly cuts costs. In fact, the Street Fighter IV, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 games were not developed by Capcom, yet they were given the green light.

Exactly. They are not made by Capcom, and therefore are not a risk to them. it's the other company that is making the game and going to all the expenses. Capcom wastes very little money with that kind of deal. That's why it's called outsourcing.

i totaly agree with anyone said it should be with intercept
