How about an actual 3D game for a change. Megaman has to make the jump to 3D sucessfully some day, or forever remain no more than 8 bit rehashware Mega man 2 jizzfest

they did, it was called Megaman Legends, all it ever needed was to improve on controls.

I get you point, A successful 3d mainstream title could be in vein as a super refined X7... without Axl.

X7's problem was trying to mix 2D with 3D. Which resulted in the 2D sections being terrible, and the 3D ones suffering from bland and uninspired level design... The only halfway Descent level was Stoneking's really, and the 3D cyberpsace maze is only worth a damn because the right side up-upside down shenanigans make it more interesting. Axl wasnt the problem, although his gameplay WAS little more than X minus the charged shot. and His copy Shot took WAY too many hits to actually kill an enemy, and you still had to charge it to shoot. X8 pretty much fixed Axl's gameplay, and made him much more fun to play, but X8 was a Sidescroller. And it didnt have the greatest level design either.

Also Legends is good yes. But that's not the kind of 3D game im talking about. Legends is a 3D Dungeon Crawler/actionRPG game. the mega man franchise needs a good 3D platformer game. (Something X7 failed to really deliver on as well)

Something... like the X Buster quake mod.
XB2 - MegaMan mod for Quake 3

ITS NOT THAT HARD, CAPCOM, COME ON.

Although a MegaMan MMO is a novel and interesting idea. a 2D MegaMan MMO no less, but an MMO still.

I personally think a successful Mega Man game would be like what we got with Merrick Hunter X for the PSP (2.5D gameplay.) I found it vastly more enjoyable then MMX7.

my only Beef with Maverick hunter X is the Remixed Themes that took all the mood out of the originals, they honestly should have just redone the SNES mix with Real instruments, this is the same problem I had with the PSX MMX3 though...
oh and Vava's music gets really fucking old when ALL stages play it.

Other than that, I really liked MHX

MHX was a good start indeed. Though it was also on the PSP, which is why it failed, along with PU. (PU in particular though has its own fair share of issues)

And it was still only a 2D siescrolling remake- one with less than stellar graphics too. (the models blow) its the type of game which nowadays can just be (and is) downloadable gaming on PSN.

Sequelitis - Mega Man Classic vs. Mega Man X
AKA Why Mega Man kicks ass and Mega Man X kicks even more ass.
So how much do you agree with him?

[Flame]

yeah. that was all pretty spot on. I never really looked at it that way, the way it introduces you to mechanics and stuff, and to the themes.

[KaZudra]

I actually agree almost 100%, I like classic, but I Love X, X is so much better on every level.

I love the fucking dash and wall jump. I fucking love it.

I can't even play the original anymore because of it.

[X]

Egoraptor was pretty spot-on about the introduction to your abilities. I remember trying MMX for the first time and the transition was smooth. Almost as if I had played the game before.

D-Arts Zero 2.0 and Vile finally revealed in full color, with what looks like a Ride Armor behind Vile!







Also, Comic Zero has been shown, based on Yoshihiro Iwamoto's X series mangas, like the Comic X that was revealed back in October.



Sadly, there are no plans to localize Comic X, and it seems to be an event figure, so I guess Zero will be too.

If you've seen the Mangas, Iwamoto is behind a Merti Figure too.

I demand Bondman!! 

[CastleToastM]

Sweet, they got the ride armor thing? That was fun to screw around with in Megaman X.
