The animated opening cutscene for X3 clearly shows that they are jet thrusters.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
It's nice to see comcept completely borrowing the prototype zero design from Unlimited.

Like an anime fan on prom night.


There wasn't, other than the PSP Megaman X reboot called Maverick Hunter X. Apparently it came with a short movie prequel before the events of sigma going crazy and it was some 20 minute animes.

There's is the The Day of Σ OVA when you beat Mega Man Maverick Hunter.

Also I sure those holes were jets because Hardman is 3 tons and needs a third jet on his butt to even jump and one on his head to help get out of the ground after he does a head bonk.

One gripe I have with MN9 among many, even though I'll never buy the game: That boss fight looks incredibly dull because it's just two small/very far-away characters duking it out in a large, static room. You'd never encounter this in Shovel Knight or Shante because the visuals work on a portable console, hence everything is close-up, legible and expressive. It's why Blackadder 1 was a bit of a misfire with its scope. You can see Rowan Atkinson fall off his horse from 50-feet away and that may as well be anyone, but show him up close and he'll make you laugh.

The 2D polygonal MegaMan games seem to fall into this trap a lot, with the exception of the two remakes on PSP that seemed to nail it pretty drat well. Dunno why that is.

I'm the BR comic X tries to gently caress Roll but she ain't into it and eventually he starts a thing with Kalinka´s bodyguard robot instead. At least I think she was a robot. I'm not sure if they ever make that clear.

On a related note, MN9 would be way more well regarded if they hired Brian Blessed to voice whoever the hell the villain is.

It's not as good as Ariga's manga and it's very evident it's targetting younger folks but it's indeed entertaining nonetheless. The creators are big fans and it shows, there are little winks and references everywhere, pro purchase.

So apparently the reason for MN9's delays was because of how many consoles it was coming to. Also they are already planning to make a sequel even if this one doesn't sell. Oh, and he wants to make Japanese games great again.

Nah, it's still that. Like in 2015 the Witcher 3 was super high but the rest of the lists were like Bloodborne/Dark Souls, Metal Gear, Mario Maker, Splatoon, ect. Japanese games that are good are as popular as ever. There are fewer coming out than before but that's both due to a changing market and an increase in competition, not because people suddenly hate Japanese games.

Fair enough. I think Inafune's perspective probably comes from working at Capcom for so long, a company that has definitely lost a lot of luster in the west in the past decade or so.
