Capcom Collaborates with Musicians on Mega Man Tribute Albums

That's great and all, Mega Man music generally being pretty good, but what about Capcom actually getting out some Mega Man GAMES? Or is Mighty No 9 really the only game that 'tributes' Mega Man's anniversary? (Not bashing that game, getting it day one, just wondering where the actual Mega Man games are these days...)

What are we talking about here? Not a game, not a game. A soundtrack. Not a game, not, not a game... but a soundtrack. You got to be kidding me, right. Not a game, but a SOUNDTRACK.

(I shall hope there are some sports fans that will get this reference.)

Yet again, Capcom uses fans to keep Megaman alive instead of creating content themselves...

From the post linked above:
"Hi, I'm Brett, the one who handled this. I cannot make a game. I can arrange fun stuff like this. So I did. And here it is."

You gotta listen to the OCremix crew if you haven't already. They're awesome.

I have been terribly busy with my many music projects (one of them you guys will hear about really soon) but I do hope to still make some time to properly give Megaman a 25th year special tribute.

@Bulby That's what I was thinking. So basically they're taking other fan generated content (were any of these originally for sale or were they all free?), re-bundling it, reselling it and making money off of it. Happy Anniversary, Megaman, we're milking your fans!

A fan made game and now fan made music.
What's next? A fan artbook?
Come one Capcom, revive your mascot. Let Inti Creates make Megaman 11!

@Palom You can yell at me all you want, but people -will- keep shouting at Capcom about this, especially after the games they DID announce have been cancelled. I miss Mega Man games, and I'm sure as heck not the only one. It's not that I don't appreciate non-game tributes to the Blue Bomber, but after so many tributes for him already you'd think they'd finally come with a game, but no. So sorry if I come off disappointed about it.

@Philip_J_Reed There's a response I can work with. Makes it more acceptable that there's no game coming I guess, but it still sucks. But oh well. The music is still very enjoyable!

I wonder how it will turn out. Most OC remixes I've heard are completely generic within their given genre. Like if they weren't Megaman no one would be listening to them. I like it when they can stand alone as a good song whether someone knows the original or not.

This is neat, but yeah, we didn't even see a spiffy new collection of titles or anything. I would have picked up a new compilation game if it included the Mega Drive's Mega Man The Wily Wars or some other hard-to-find-in-the-States titles and rarities.

@xcwarrior ,famous Allen Iverson rant..I love a good basketball reference

I just want ZX and ZX2 with minimal updates so they work properly (Full screen) on the 3DS (Download only would be fine).

I put Mega Ran on in London for his last tour, super nice and inspiring dude who makes incredible music, check him out

As long as these remixes isn't has HORRID as those remixes from Street Fighter 3 Third Strike. Those were just plain awful. No comparison at all to the awesome originals.

I love Armcannon, The Protomen and The Megas! I can't wait to hear this.

@Shiryu

Love your stuff Shiryu, I know you will do great justice when you release it!

@sainrub For now keep a ear out for next Friday: https://www.facebook.com/events/168214010037170/ I will make sure to drop NL a line when it's released.
