One of the staples of my childhood video game experience.

Mine too, but it doesn't really make sense as a comparison here.  The two games really don't share much in common.  If anything.

But that's why I chose it. It's a fairly niche title that barely sells anything below the rust belt USA and in Canada and sells for $60, and has absolutely no legs. That game does 90% of its sales between September and December, I bet. Yet, it's selling better than an iconic, legendary video game franchise at much less. i guess it kinda caught me off guard just how much the Mega Man franchise has crumbled over the years. If this is "good" for Mega Man, then Mega Man isn't in a very good place.

Have you looked at old Mega Man sales? The best selling entry of all time is only 1.51 million.

And that number comes directly from Capcom.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Great Megaman were my favorite games growing up, I have been tempted on multiple occasions to buy the legacy collection but have not pulled the trigger. and I am still waiting for Megaman 11 to go on sale or a price reduction to 20



I hope this is considered good since I own both Legacy Collections 1+2 and Megaman 11 and I still want more.

Capcom said that the sales were either strong or selling well.So yeah, Capcom considers them good.

I honestly hadn't. I didn't realize it never sold that well. Kinda like Metroid then. Interesting. Thanks for the info Zorg!

But how would the story to Megaman X9 go? X8 ended with Sigma getting killed on the moon and unable to come back this time, unless he got put on a copy chip.

That is why I think X needs a reboot.

The whole series story is a mess at this point.Characters appearing and dissapearing for no reason at all, with Dr. Cain being the best example of that;Some plot point never being explained as to who saved X at the end of X5(even if the game heavily implies it was Dr. Light); and the biggest of them all:How the hell is Sigma still being alive/being able to be ressurected?I mean, he was supposidely killed in X 3, when Zero injects into him the anti Sigma virus.After that game, Sigma just comes back with no explanation at all, and the gang(X, Zero, and all the Maverick Hunters) are like "Ok, Sigma is just like that".

But one step at a time.If X9 is easier to do than to try to do a reboot, then just do it.If you manage to explain everything in X9 Capcom, even better.

Hm, for some reason I thought it was said that Mega Man 11 was in development for 5 years. I knew that it couldn't have been 5 years of straight up production, but I still thought it was a 5 year development time. Apparently it was only around 2.5 actually, haha. https://gearnuke.com/mega-man-11-development-team-40-people/

This is good. Capcom needs to start utilizing it's nicher franchises more. They used the sales of DMC 4 SE/DMC Collection and the Mega Man collection to dictate whether these projects and ideas should come to fruition, so hopefully we can get ... a new Okami? Also hope that Onimusha does well

I've been wanting a new Onimusha forever it was my favorite ps2 series. I would've got the Onimusha remaster if it was a collection instead of just 1 game
