My take on this is simple:

The Rockman Classic (Rockman 1-7) were great, I don't have any idea why X and Zero had to be created. Not to mention, ZX and the royal crap that Battle Network is. I'm still wondering what happened to Rock and Roll too... I want my platforming, damn it, the Rock Paper Scissors battle model, I wanna be creamed by stage bosses, I want Yuuichi-chan's Papa quality music. On my opinion, Rockman 2 was pinnacle. Rockman 3 was also great but not as good as 2, it didn't feel right. The Robot Masters just started to become stupid after that.

I agree: Mega Man Powered up is one of the best things to happen to the series and old-school-porting-to-new-eras in general.

If you're at all a Mega Man fan, you HAVE to play this. The lasting value is just incredible.

It sucks SOOOOOOOO much that it didn't sell better.

It is truly great to see the return of Megaman.

Also.

The extra story of MHX did not help. The anime cutscene, while cool to see X in anime, was lousy.

So far for me, its X1-6 and Z1-4, though I never beat Z3 and 4.

I hope they do that thing where you fight someone else the whole game, then it turns out Dr Wily's in control of them, or it's just Dr Wily.

"- A popular belief is that RM9 will act as the 'link' to the events of the X Series. This is not so, The storyline DOES NOT lead into the X Series, rather it's a 'traditional' plot."

I have lost ALL interest.

Eh. I never play Megaman for the story anyway. I play it to blow up eight vaguely elemental based robots, and then four or so more bosses including Dr. Wily.

Apparently, that Shadow dude was just making things up. The only true confirmation is that Megaman 9 is indeed being made.

why? it's still gonna be rockman. I think what they are probably gonna do is make a game separate from both serie to explain the events and call it X's creation or something. They'd probably set it way after RM9 if it comes out soon to give them room for more titles if this is the case.

Megaman 9? Isn't that just Rockman and Forte? Im pretty sure it is. If thats the case, that was already released as a GBA port. Although I wouldn't mind it getting re-done.

Megaman and Bass is not Megaman 9...fans simply call it that.

TRON · « **Reply #40 on:** June 26, 2008, 12:48:30 AM »

I believe Dr. Wily made Zero after he made Forte and Gospel. Also, in the X games, if I recall correctly, nothing is mentioned about them. So, something must have happened (maybe Zero destroyed them?).

It'd be nice though if Rockman 9 gave way to the events of Rockman X. E3 is almost .5months away. We shall see soon.

Yeah thats what the majority of the current fans (including myself) speculate. Bass's ending in Megaman 2 the arcade game is the only real connection to the X series. :\

There is also some speculation that Bass stole the technical schematics for X when he raided Dr. Light's Lab in Megaman 7. His objective at the time was to steal the schematics for the Rush Adaptor (which was later used for himself and Trebble).

And according to theory, Wily used these specs to assist him in creating Zero. This also explains away the technical similarities between X and Zero even though Zero wasn't a true reploid --he was discovered independently as depicted in X4. It's also worth noting that Megaman 7 was released after X2 --where Zero's connection to Wily was first made.

*rubs chin*

Theres a lotttttttt of theories out there, and although most of them are based on educated guesses, I'd say they're pretty good ones.

I agree with the theory that Dr.Wily kept his "Soul" alive through machines. Which explains his presence in Megaman X5 as well as him (possibly) being Isoc in Megaman X6. I mean..Zero was in a room alone with Isoc's corpse when he heard a voice say that "You are the strongest robot".

And I mean Hell, nobody uses the term "robot" in the X series, so I find that too coincidental. I really hope they explain all this one day. I wouldn't even care if it was in an anime or a graphic novel. I just want it explained by Capcom.
