Capcom is rolling like a tank at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, and will showcase a wide range of its forthcoming titles — including Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies and DuckTales Remastered.
However, it's the tantalising promise of fresh information regarding Mega Man's 25th Anniversary that caught our eye. After warning fans to "keep expectations in check" last year, Capcom has remained tight-lipped about how it intends to mark the occasion of Mega Man's birthday, although the fact that he has been included in the upcoming Smash Bros. game for Wii U and 3DS hints that big things could be happening behind closed doors.
Do you think this is just wishful thinking, or could Capcom finally be giving the Blue Bomber the birthday celebration he deserves? Post a comment to share your feelings on the matter.

Best case scenario: they'll publicly apologize for everything bad they've done regarding the Blue Bomber, and finish Legends 3, Maverick Hunter, etc.
Now that would be quite the turnaround for his anniversary.
I predict that Capcom will unveil a Mega Man tissue box to inadvertently taunt all of his weeping fans... Or I would have, had it not already happened...
It would be nice to know when Comic Con actually takes place so we can get our bodies ready.
Capcom is no good any more. Only their franchise series have significant value while everything else is filled with mediocrity. I'm more interested in platinum games since they have people who worked at capcom during their glory days.
Had a feeling on this for a few months. Expect a new Megaman game by Christmas. All the crying may just have payed off.
Capcom have been given a really big hype for the character with all the build up his year and the Smash Bros addition. There is no better time to attempt a resurrection for Megaman.
Incidentally, I get the feeling the unexpected Street Fighter IV DLC recently announced is a precursor to the Final Fight 25th anniversary. 3 of the 4 characters announced are from the game, with the 5 likely to be Haggar. I personally think Capcom is trying to go back to the franchises people know and love.
Eh, even if there is a new game, it'll probably just be fan-made again...
i want a hd release of mega man X but hey a boy can dream
A new non-fan made game from Capcom? I'll believe it when I see it.
@Grubdog July 18–21, 2013.
Coming soon: The Blue Bomber & The Blue Blur: The Game?
I wouldn't bet on it. Though I still hope something is at least being planned.
Bring back and release Mega Man Legends 3 for 3DS, please Capcom, I want a sequel to this series. If not Legends 3, maybe a 16-bit Mega Man X game, none of that 3D Mega Man X crap.
Mega Man 11, with updated graphics in HD but playing like the NES games. Better yet: make each boss command not a single stage, but a 5-6 stage world, like Super Mario or Donkey Kong Country worlds.
This would probably make me cry tears of joy.
@WaveBoy proto man crayons markers. HAHAHAHAAHA that literally made my day
I'd really like to buy the remaining 6 Mega Man games on the Wii U eShop, as well as the entire X series.
A new Mega Man game would be amazing.
Mega Man 11, for Wii U as well please
Mega man 6-7 Mega Man X-3 for Wii Virtual console
Okay Capcom, give us Mega Man Legends 3 for 3DS and/or Wii U or his birthday will sucks.
Prepare for disappointment.
Oh the answer is easy here. They'll announce a side scrolling style mega man project or that mega man legends 3 is back to life to then rev up expectations, show off some art, ask for fan help, and then cancel it again. They love to get a rise out of people.
SNES Mega Man X9 or something brand new please.
I expect nothing, though.
@tanookisuit Don't even say that man. Capcom doesn't need anymore ideas on how to make their fans angry.
I don't trust capcom with anything megaman related anymore. I wish they would just sell the megaman IP to nintendo. Then nintendo can out source it to inticreates.
As others have stated, I would like to see them bring back all the games they canned, especially Mega Man Universe.
