Was suprised also that not single one of its version got into top 100..

But really what happend to it? It was huge back in Nes - PS1 time but then when it was about to come to Ps2 it failed bad...

Lots of megamans on PSP and DS but nothing in few years..Well Megaman 9 rmk..

Why did Capcom leave series to shadows?

Megaman 9.... >_>

I do miss the the older megaman games. They should bring back the old style. A 2D console game with the whole stage select kinda thing.

Times change? Not all franchises last 20+ years like Mario.

Megaman 9.... >_>

Megaman migrated to handhelds, GBA and DS in particular. There was also MM9 last year which was fantastic.

Considering there were a ton of Mega Man games on handheld consoles over the years, I'd say the franchise is alive and well. I would love to see some sort of 3D remake though. Kind of like Mega Man Legends but with HD graphics and not shitty.

Well since Megaman Zero 4 on GBA and Megaman X maveric hunter on PSP all new megamans have been boring..

Mega Man 9 was highly praised, the thing is Mega Man universe has a lot of ramifications, some of them are in the same timeline and some of them are in a different universe, but usually people only care about 2 of them: Mega Man and Mega Man X, Mega Man, as proved by MM9, is a series that works like a charm on 8-bit art (if you look at Mega Man 7 and Mega Man 8 people usually remember those as the black sheeps of the series), and Mega Man X reached its peek with the 16 and 32-bit 2D games, when the 3D games on the PS2 came (X7 and X8) people fell out of love...

It comes down to preferences, that's why Mega Man 9 was planned as a retro 8-bit game, and i can say for sure that if they make other Mega Man X games those are gonna be 2D...

The other series like Zero, ZX, Legends, Battle Network, Star Force, etc. have usually a small audience...

Of course, there are fans (like me) that follow the all the series almost blindly (and i say almost because despite being my favorite series ever i know which games are just bad)...
