Fans cries for years about the lack of new games

Who?

Megaman exists in a catch-22: the only way it will get any long term buzz and excitement is by making some kind of big, flashy game (like Legends 3 or a really spectacular X or something) but Megaman just doesn't have the fanbase to support that kind of venture.
MM11 sold a little under a million copies which is pretty good for a cheaply made $30 game but that isn't remotely enough to justify a large project. It was good, but Megaman will likely carry on as a smaller franchise from here on out.

I'd kill for Axl to be in a good game.

There are barely no classics fans who don't also enjoy X.
There are tons of X fans who don't likes classic.

MM11 was a bad pitch from the start. It's mediocre and doesn't push the franchise or the genre forward in any way. While I realize that this is what some dedicated fans might have wanted this is now how you ressurect a struggling IP. Look at new Rayman games - they weren't beholden by their original ideas and instead tried to do something completely new, both in terms of the core single player campaign and in terms of longevity (seed-based semi-random levels in Legends). As a result they obtained moderate success and the only reason they aren't continuing is because Ancel is busy with his newest Online Experience(tm) though Legends got ported fucking everywhere.
Mega Man was never shy from evolution, they invented X brand to take advantage of better hardware, they invented Legends when it looked like adding 3D to everything was the tits, they came up with Battle Network for cozy on the go gaming without necessarily just straight up ripping off Pokemon, and so on.
So why the fuck is it acceptable to make a game that plays like it could've been made 30 years ago just for nostalgia brownie points? Especially when you can literally just play all those older games? OF WHICH THEY'VE ALREADY MADE A DOZEN?
Meanwhile you have titles like Ori, Hollow Knight and even Shovel Knight pushing what's possible with a 2D platformer both in terms of content volume and design.

also music sucks how the fuck do you make a Mega Man game with bad music you hacks

Xfags are the ones who only care for their specific series and shit on literally everything else despite Zero and ZX being direct evolutions of X's gameplay

nigger this better be pasta

Fuck all yall. I want a Battle Network collection

Never played much megaman. Is this one worth a play without playing the others?

I just typed this out because I have independent thought fuck you

I WANNA SPLASHWOMAN.Exe

I disagree. I think doing the safe thing was better this time. Sure a bigger, more ambitious project would have been great but after MN9 I can't blame Capcom from wanting to play it safe.
Megaman 11 is also one of the best classic games fight me

This. Give me a remastered battle network with 500+ chips to collect

As far as the classic style of megamans go its a pretty good one.

Shovel Knight gets huge demerits for being more linear than classic Mega Man, and Ori and Hollow Knight are just lesser repeats of Metroid with nice art, fuck off faggots.

A lunatic that accidentally doxxed himself trying to shitpost Mega Man once, and is still raging against the machine.

Yes, most of them are.

Its a great game. Like second best MM game easily.
But its also a short single player game like all Megamans so why would discussion last forever?

When is it time to not do safe things? 9 and 10 were also safe time.

Yeah it needed a reboot like DmC instead.Thats what fans actually want.

Fuck you, nigger. Xfags are the worst.

Wow, it's almost like Mega Man fans are a vocal minority.

Music was a bit lackluster. Seems like a Capcom issue.

We've had dozens of Mega Man threads during the announcement, pre release, and post release. Just because there isn't a thread every single fucking day doesn't mean it's been completely forgotten. Quit it with the fake news.

Those aren't even remotely comparable. 9 and 10 weren't made by Capcom and came out a decade ago. At that time, only the X series seemed to be dead, and they were just supposed to be fun throwbacks as everyone waited for Legends 3.
Megaman 11 had to revive the brand.

This. It was announced, it came, people generally liked it (some quite a lot) and then it went. Didn't need to have smash-tier autism shitting up the board every day to be remembered or liked.

one day user, we just have to wait

*ZX 3

Command Mission was great

Fuck off Eric.

The problem isn't so much the music in of itself, the music is great. The PROBLEM is the choice of instrumentation that was used. If the music was done using more instrument variety or even in 8-bit it would be so much better.

But it sold well.

Basically this. The 8-bit remixes people make let the melodies come out much clearer.

Legends 3 could never live up to the height.

Even when people talk about Capcom's recent outputs it's forgotten.

This gets forgotten meme is the most retarded shit
Yea Forums is always loooking for the latest shit to shitpost about, it doesnt mean games get forgotten, Yea Forums is not the entirety of the people consciousness you absolute idiot

yeah but most people here are fucking casuals who think that world is a good MH game so of course they wont know about Megaman.

Nice try, blunderfag.

Man I miss Marino's ass.
Wish they'd bring her back, 2B could use some competition.

it's literally the best classic megaman game you faggot
you literally just don't value classic megaman games

Nah thats Legends fags.
They pretty much started the downfall because 3 was looking to be pretty bad and it got canned. Look at the fucking girl they chose, literally the fucking worst one, even "Girl Zero" was a better choice.

It's just after you've played like 12 of them a thirteenth isn't going to light up your night even if it's technically the best.

For the record I voted for the injun.

It boggles my mind how people don't think MM11 is the best classic megaman. Main criticism I see is that it plays it safe, how does it play it safe when they've added so much to the core mechanics, and the weapons are unique and fun? The level design is easily the best, most varied and refreshing in the series.

Mega man 10 is the best classic.
>3 different characters
>challenge mode
>each weapon is fun and useful
>endless mode w/ leaderboards

Gear system makes the game a fucking joke desu

It's still a safe game, but a fucking good one at that. The Wily stages need to be longer and they need to change the instruments for the music. Other than that everything else is fucking solid.

Mega Man 4 is still tops though.

Probabbly because the people wanting it was because the drought of MM and settled with anything. Not me at least

You don't represent anyone besides yourself, gen z scum.

9, 10, and 4 exist user
>inb4 but what about 2

What about 2?

9 loses to 11 simply for removing quick weapon switching.

Its not Shit but it is massively overhyped

That's me but when it comes to 3

Not him, but I agree. 3 is not even in the top 5 best classic games.

>Best level design
>Great masters
>Actually useful weapons
>Closest music to 2's quality we've gotten
>But it doesnt have quick swap!!!
10 does and 9 is still better than 11 with no swap

>it was pretty much done and it will never be released

Only the Prototype was completed.

11's level design is great as well. 11's weapons are just as good and even better if you count the power gear. It also has way better robot master fights than 9. The only thing 9 cleanly has over 11 is music. Not having quick swap is acceptable for the NES games, but not 9. It breaks the pace having to pause and switch weapons back and forth constantly.

Desperation attacks is a bullshit mechanic for bosses. Redflag even.

>no Zero

How?

My biggest problem with 11 is the difficulty even on superhero it runs into the same problem 6 had even if the weapons could be good, the charge buster is too strong to warrant using anything else outside of boss weaknesses, 11 does a better job at this than 6, but the issue still exists. Personally 4 is the only game where the charge buster wasnt horribly broken imo

Literally a non issue if the game is balanced around it which 11 is

>X9
After being disappointed five games straight, I kinda stopped asking for this.

retarded secondary

>the charge buster is too strong to warrant using anything else outside of boss weaknesses
Fucking how? The weapons in 11 are borderline broken, especially with the power gear. Bounce balls and block dropper in any other mega man game would be game breaking. Power gear turns chain blast and tundra storm into screen nukes. Acid barrier is the best shield weapon in the series. Even the weaker weapons like the pile driver are really good against shielded weapons, and because you can swap between them instantly you have nothing to lose by using them.

Fair point, but outside of Wily Fortress 1 various minibosses I never really saw a lot of reason to switch weapons since the combination of speed and power gear were more than enough to plow through everything without batting an eye. A lot of the weapons in MM11 are really great at dealing enemies above or below you, but generally you have a clear shot of most enemies even in a more vertically centered room. If anything I will absolutely give you Acid Barrier though its by far the best shield weapon we've ever gotten

post cute blue boy

This but unironically, classic already got it's revival with 9 and 10

Acid Barrier is inferior to Diamond Shield.
Pile Driver is actually useful as a makeshift airdash.

post yfw you're not a megafag

>Posts in a thread he knows will upset him.

MMX collection sold twice as much as the classic. Pretty sure that speak for itself. It even topped Japanese charts, something the classic collection never did.

I'd kill for Axl to just be erased.

11 was honestly not that great

It was great and it sold pretty well all things considered.

I never cried about a new MM game, because by the time I gave enough of a fuck about the franchise MMX already existed. I emulated MM & Bass, otherwise didn't touch the old games.

Why is X so popular when half its games are ass? Is it Zero? It's because of Zero isn't it?

Because half its games being ass is a meme to hide the fact Yea Forums sucks at them.

the shitty X games arent harder than classic megaman.

capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

you mean x1-x4

>Capcom has a record of hyping up and then cancelling interesting Mega Man games
>proceed to release an extremely safe Mega Man game several years down the line
Granted it was enjoyable but that's about what 9 and 10 were. More of the same.

didnt this game sold 1 million? thats about mostly the fans size of this franchise i can say the same about the new igavania"bloodstained" i dont think after the 5.5 million kickstarter the game will sell more than 500 /700k and thats good or enough people ofrogt old semi niche franchises are not GTA sellers as long these numbers keep the franchise aflot is allright not everything have to sell like gta or rdr

It's a good start. I mean, the first thing the new producer did was make his whole team every Mega Man game in.order to get a feel for the series.

everything in the CAPCOM IS BACK arc has been extremely safe, that's not a real problem

Too easy
Too short
Mediocre music

I liked it and glad I bought it tho. To me MM3 is best. Kind of feel like MM11 was testing the waters for what might come after.

>MHW is the one game that isnt safe
>I hate it
Basically I dont want that company to change their games ever.
