Mega Man Producer Reconfirms The Next Major Entry In The Series Is On The Way

That is indeed good news. More megaman is never a bad thing

Still need to beat 11, the game can be brutal.

Hopefully it wont take 8 years for it to release

I miss the tv show Megaman NT Warrior. So good.

What about Mega Man X9

Ugh, I was hoping for some real Mega Man news from TGS. It's Mega Man, literally anything they make for any series will probably sell well...

Much better than MM11, I'd hope.

Still need to play this game... but I already have so many other games on my wishlist!

Ah man! I adored Mega Man 11, so this news is an absolute treat!

Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Maker were cancelled around the same time IIRC, maybe one of those will be revived. I still think X9 will be made by Inti Creates. I could see Legends 3 being an open world MetroidVania. The weapons you get from robot masters would be used to unlock new areas, traverse the environment, solve puzzles and obviously used to attack enemies and bosses that are weak to that weapon.

I enjoyed 11, but it was very short for the money they were asking for it.

Im glad the future is secure with Mega Man. And it all began with the demand for Mega Man materialized in Smash (even tho Ryu first was Capcom’s idea) and everything else just went into motion.

X9 and Legends 3, please!

@KingBowser86 it was actually a pretty good game. It was way more challenging than the previous ones in fact. In the end it as megaman, was it the best one I'd say no but it also was far from the worst one also.

@jtmnm both those would be awesome. I am going to speculate a X9 will be the next one. I mean why not? They did a megaman addition so a X addition would most likely follow.
Well I hope anyways but either way it's megaman so it'll be good regardless.

The visuals need a bit more handcraft to them. Look at blasphemous, gorgeous game. No reason mega man can’t have that attention to detail paid to it. MM11 did not look convincing enough to me.

Include Roll this time as well. Maybe as a bonus stage 1 stage to free Mega Man due some trap. you can come up with something good. Roll should have 1 stage as well. Lol

I hope the music is better than 11.

And where is mighty no 9 two

While I am more of a fan of the classic games, I think that X9 (or even Legends 3) would be the best route to take. Something different would probably have more appeal than just another classic Mega Man game (remember the reception 10 got after 9's explosive comeback?). I would like to eventually see a Mega Man 12, but I think X and Legends fans have waited long enough for a new entry in these series.

Nah I don’t enjoy them I think the platforming isn’t as good as mario and shooting isn’t as fun as Metroid so it’s meh to me

@sandman89 To me too. Can't be bothered with such game... it's quite hard and you have to restart from some points... Then i'm already done with the game. In the past I had no trouble playing these games. Finished even Mega Man 2 eventually. But now I can't be bothered with games like this. It's a nostalgic thing

I still need to play MM11. Can't wait for the Zero/ZX collection, either; it's great being able to play virtually every Mega Man game on my Switch.

Excellent, I'll always be excited for new Mega Man games. Like a lot of people here though, I do hope they get a little more creative with the style and music. MM11 was somewhat generic looking/sounding.

Probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t want an X9. I feel like the X series had run its course.

@Dirty0814 Wouldn't go that far, as I played it as well, but it definitely had the skeleton of a classic MM game. Had some serious issues here and there, though.

How is he defining series here? The classic series? Or series as a whole, because a sequel and resolution to the end of X8 would be nice. I'd still be pumped for Mega Man 12, if that's what they're doing tho.

And then of course there's the game Capcom will never make - the one that bridges the classic with the X series (as this would make a definitive end to the classic series).

I kinda hope they add more this time around, like armor upgrades that let you control more like X, and a New Game Plus that lets you keep items from the shop, specifically so you can play the whole game like that. I would prefer a new X game, but at least give me the advanced gameplay and I'll be satisfied with that.

@Anri02 I think im a big Mega Man fan and Id have to agree too. The X series was forced to keep going after X5 and it messed up the canon and the games after were medicore to horrrible. Imo they should do a soft reboot like Maverick Hunter X or better yet, continue after the Zero/ZX(A) timeline.

Ohh i totally forgot about this game, i'm going to buy it later today.

@Arnold-Kage When more Mega Man is Mega Man 11, that’s definitely a bad thing. The series hit its peak at Mega Man 5, hasn’t been the same ever since.

@GregamanX I would prefer a new series, personally. MM12 or MMX9 would just continue to sully what the first 5 in each game accomplished in terms of quality. Give me something fresh and inspired.

We don't have many games for the Switch atm, but MM11 is my favorite so far. As long as new games aren't on mobile I'll buy em on Switch.

@Mr_Muscle

Would have to disagree to you on that. Still that means you can likely save some money then

@MegaSwitch

Suspect that and the star force games will likely be the next collection to be announced with how they are going. If that sells well then you and I will likely get our wish. Enjoyed those megaman rpg

I love MegaMan but I really don’t know how I feel about this. I don’t like the original series games nearly as much as the other series i.e. the Zero series and most likely what they will do is go for the cheapest option for them which is making MegaMan 12. I honestly wish they would wipe the slate clean and reboot Megaman.

I don't want to let myself get too excited, but can you even imagine how good a new Legends game could be on modern HD consoles???

Mega Man 11 had some good ideas, but some of them were not executed very well...I would really want a Mega Man game that would stop with only 8 bosses gimmick, give us more and give us a unique way to choose them! Maybe a hub world? Its like capcom is too afraid to try new stuff

Its time for a Megaman 3D third person point of view game.

@Wavey84
Now that I think about it, maybe we can combine 2 weapons like kirby 64 as a mechanic?

This has me so excited. The beloved Blue Bomber is truly back!

@NinChocolate The visuals are gorgeous.

I always preferred the X series much more than the NES series. It has to do with armor and coinciding visual upgrades. That was always cool... hell thats cool in any game. I’d also love if mega man could duck, shoot diagonal... yknow, real series-advancing stuff. If what is being teased here is a new X game I’ll get it. I skipped 11 because of the price and lack of advancement with the overall (control) formula.
I’d love a mega man Metroidvania. There, I said it.

I enjoyed Mega Man 11. I paid too much for the Anniversary Edition with the amiibo, stickers, etc. It was good! Difficulty was spot on... not sure how I felt about the Wily Stages. Or the lack thereof?

My three favorite Mega Man games are 3 (NES), 5 (SGB), and X (SNES.) It didn't dethrone those. It needed a harder, more bumping soundtrack too. Maybe 12 will be awesome!

@gloom watched that show daily.

I'd like to see an X9 for the sake of redeeming the derailment the series took after X4 gameplay and story wise... I really feel like the series got unnecessarily hard for all the wrong reasons. I won't spoil anything for those that did not play X8, but suffice to say, X9's story would go in a different direction due to something that happened at the end of X8, so I'm not sure how it would be. Other than that I love the X games and would not mind more if they can capture what made the series great and refine it.

I really enjoyed Mega Man 11 so I’m excited to see what new ideas they have for sequels. Ore games for the Switch sounds great to me.

@Tempestryke I won’t argue that. I admit im being overly critical of the visuals, but back in the sprite era Capcom had some of the the best looking graphics of any company, which is saying a lot considering all great hand drawn games. For me these graphics hit a minimum from Capcom, but there’s plenty of room to go beyond in detail what they’ve done with MM11 and really deliver a spectacular looking sidescroller

Just finish Mega Man Legends 3 or give us a Mega Man X9, get IntiCreate or Wayforward to do it if you too lazy to make it yourself Capcom.

Mega Man 11 was a beautiful revival of the game. Nothing overbearing about it, they obviously played it safe with the mechanics but I don't see anything inherently wrong with that. Especially for a revival of the franchise.

What I am hoping for is an open world Mega Man Battle Network! Instead of playing as Lan we can have our own character and our own Mega Man. With a custom pet on smartphones to link to the game. Hopefully...

@N1ntendodo Mighty no 9 also played a part in revitalising the blue bomber

Sounds cool! Mega Cool! Thing is, while complex graphics don't make a game great, they help make a game better. I'm not a fan of the almost generic 2.5d look of 11. The music of 11 wasn't bad, but wasn't completely standard style Mega Man music, except for Fuse Man's stage.

I would rather have a new battle network game tbh
