It's kind of sad that Capcom US seems to love Mega Man more than Capcom of Japan.

Why doesn't the creator of the Mega Man franchise pull up stakes in Japan, move to the US and make more of his beloved series there? If America loves it's mega man games so much I think it would be a good investment for him. He can continue to make the type of mega man games he and we love without Capcom of Japan breathing down his neck with what they think is good for the series.

Inafune doesn't own the rights.  He would need to purchase Megaman from Capcom --and that would be expensive...  O-o

Not to mention he quit Capcom last year I believe, after becoming increasingly unhappy with his position, having reached as far up as he could go on the Capcom Ladder. And set up his own company. A twin company. One for games, and one for other media.

Inafune also expressed that if someway somehow Capcom let him & his studio resume work on Legends 3, he'd be more than happy to. but that prolly won't happen.


I can't wait to get my custom Volnutt figure

not directly Mega Man related, but damn, Capcom...

It's kinda sad that pretty much the only exciting thing going on in the longest running video game series of all time is the Archie Comics interpretation of it.

Dont forget the figures!

The D-Arts line of figures are undoubtedly the best quality figures to ever grace the franchise.

[Inccubus]

True, true.

[crisis]

they shouldve released these high quality figures back when the X series was still alive & kicking imo. better late than never tho

and i hope they create different characters; there's 3 X's (original, armored, and "manga version") 2 Zeros (original & mk2) and vile. what's next, ride armor vile or battle-damaged X/black-armored zero? why can't they make some mavericks, sigma, magma dragoon, etc.

i just wanna see some variety; tired of seeing "variants" of the same character all the time

[Abnormal Freak]

MMX2 available on US Virtual Console, woo.

Gonna pick that and the first up soon since I don't own carts of either, and the emulation on the MMX Collection is pretty shatty. Hopefully MMX3 won't be too long.

Wow, that's retarded. Good use of resources there.

[Munchy]

Is asking for a good quality Dr. Wily figure too much?

[Flame]

Wow, that's retarded. Good use of resources there.

Well to be fair, both the Metallic X and the manga versions of both X and Zero were Special editions/limited editions for conventions and shit like that.

I still don't understand why capcom wouldn't take the guy up on that offer.

It costs money to make games, so why not have someone else make it for you?
