I wish they would really let Megaman die since Capcom can't seem to be convinced to throw more than five bucks at any given title. Let's look forward to how the localization of the game is going to be bastardized in the West.

Because dialogue and story has always been a key element in Megaman games...


Oh look, Wily is trying to take over the world.  *runs off*

Megaman in fact has become dialogue and story driven in these recent years. Though your use of a villain who hasn't been in a Megaman Game since 1994 (save the crappy Megaman 8) would indicate you're not exactly up on the series. Let's also not forget award winning japanese music typically replaced with shitty casio techno beats in western releases, removed content like in the Megaman Legends games and voice acting in games like MMX7 that force a player to mute their TV. Many of these matters really go beyond the conventions of mere aesthetic taste.

Oh but what am I saying, let's just fall all over what ever scraps are fed us and ignore the naysayers and people who yearn for quality, they just hate fun.

With the exception of the ZX games, Megaman has overall become quite craptastic in the last decade or so.  The Legends games were so-so and the Battle Network games just plain suck.  I think it's mostly because they took the gameplay that made Megaman games so amazingly fun and popular and threw it in a dumpster.

When it comes to the next Megaman game... gameplay is my number one concern.  Megaman 9 and the ZX games are proof to me that Capcom can still make Megaman titles I will enjoy playing.  I know they can make great titles if they really want to.

 

 Megaman 9 was rehashed crap, its not even that fun, its so transparently slapped together, all they did was recycle levels and sprites from previous games.

Also, Megaman Z was awesome in addition to ZX (though Z4 was lacking).

Megaman Legends were mediocre but the fact we got gimped versions didn't help. It's just insult to injury.

The Battlenetwork crap sucks. Don't turn Megaman into Pokemon/Digimon/Yu-Gi-Oh.

Megaman X has been a lost cause ever since it left the SNES. No single Megaman series has been so ruined by localizing risk management.

Don't expect anything else out of ZX, for some reason Capcom seems to have no ambition to continue it. Also, if a lazy hack job like Megaman 9 is your ideal of quality, then by all means open wide for the rehashed virtual content revolution coming our way.

Now that Capcom knows low investment, low risk crap like Megaman 9 can sell, what incentive do they have to actually try for anything more than that?
