Oh yes. I am back from my vacation and I will be writting about our favorite Blue Bomber. Things were going really well for Mega Man a few years
ago. We got Mega Man 9 which is one of my personal favorite Mega Man games along with 2,3, X and X3. Fans were happy. It was classic Mega Man at its best. It was hard, it had great music, it had 8-bit music and some good bosses. Then we got Mega Man 10 which is a good game, but it didn't offer TOO much. The music was OK, bosses were less creative. It looked like Capcom made mega Man 10 just to make Mega Man 10.
I personally don't know why they didn't go for Mega Man X9. Specially since Mega Man X needs more fixing than the main series. The last decent Mega Man X was X3 ( in my OPINION). Then Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega man Universe got announced. Mega Man Legends 3 looked awesome. I am not gonna lie. I wasn't a huge fan of Legends 1 and Legends 2, but I totally loved how Legends 3 looked. Mega man Universe also looked awesome. The graphics looked a bit off, but I loved the gameplay. There was also Mega Man Online which was supposed to be a Korean MORPG.
GUESS WHAT. They all got cancelled. Why? Because Inafune left the company and Capcom is too fucking dumb and blind to do anything with mega Man. All 3 games looked interesting, but since they are not Monster Hunter Rehash 69 or Resident of Duty 7, they got cancelled. We also got some Mega Man game for iPhone that nobody bloody wanted. This is the new trend. Franchise is worthless to the pocket? Make iPhone games. Heck, Square Enix is jumping on that bandwagon that Capcom seems to keep supporting with Breath of Fire 6. * sigh*
Then we get the huge monster.... Maverick Hunter. If you don't know what that is, it was supposed to be a mature FPS reboot of Mega Man. I am 50% good and 50% bad on this game. 50% bad is because I hate how Mega Man looks ( I know this is a reboot, but still) and the fact that is FPS number 666. The 50% good is because the game did look kinda interesting and it was being developed by the minds behind Metroid Prime which is a personal favorite of many gamers including myself. It was the FOURTH Mega Man that got cancelled. FOURTH. Capcom is too fucking insecure about their own damn franchises so what they do? They say "Fuck it.
Mega Man also appeared in MvC3 and in Street Fighter X Tekken. The Mega Man that appears in SFxT looks a lot like the Mega Man from the box art of the first Mega Man games for the NES. That was Infaune approved so I am not flaming Capcom for this one... Finally, Mega Man is appearing in Super Smash Bros 4 and his design is his original design ( THANK GOD). He has the Upper punch from MvC3 and he can also use the powers off different Robot Masters.
Now, some people are positive that this will boost Mega Man's popularity. I am not that positive. Look at Sonic. The first game after Brawl only managed to reach 1 million on the Wii ( Sonic Unleashed ft. the Shitty Werehog) and then the next one which is Sonic and the Black Knight only managed 0.9m. Who knows. I HOPE that I am wrong and that Mega Man will become more famous from Smash Bros 4. I HOPE that is the case.
What do you guys think? IS MEGA MAN DEAD FOREVER? Yes or no?
