Now that I think about it, for all the stupid poo poo Sega's done with Sonic, they've never ruined a game with microtransactions/DLC like Capcom did with MMX.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Whatever they do, I hope they don't revert to not having Zero playable. The prospect seems unlikely assuming that an X9 is in the works, but it would still be disappointing.

I don't care about Axl.

No poo poo, an invasion system would be pretty goddamn cool. Slip into Longnecker Gearaffe's stage as a virus and track down the player to steal his metals and chip upgrades and disable that playable character until they bring in another character to rescue him? loving sweet.

Every time MegaMan defeats a boss he gets larger, the new boss order is a puzzle where you figure out what order to beat them in to keep yourself from getting stuck in a doorway

I would have said "the most recent mobile port of Megaman X" but I looked it up to double-check and I misremembered - you can get all the upgrades the old-fashioned way, they just also gave the option to buy them with real money.

That version is still ugly, runs poorly and is missing a ton of little touches from the SNES version,, but I suppose that's the extent of Capcom's exploitation.

I had a whole thing typed up for my MMX9 design, but I hit back, and now I'm mad so here's a paraphrase.

- MMX9 will take place after Command Mission and will feature 2D platforming with random battles. These can occur during jumps, and momentum will be maintained in whatever direction you're holding post-battle. Battles will be in a circle arena and play like X7 with AI-controlled party members that have to be micromanaged. Platforming sections will not have dash or wall climb; battles will, however, and they will be required during boss fights, which will feature spikes, pits, and QTEs.

- During platform sections, each character has a unique ability. X can push blocks, Zero can cut trees, and Axl can hover. His hover will last only long enough to work in a select few places. Some boss weapons can also be used during these sections, but said boss weapons can only be given to one character upon getting them. If the wrong character gets the item, or the right character is unavailable at the time, you can perma-lock yourself out of some secrets until New Game+.

- Story begins on Central Highway, for nostalgia. Tutorial fights are against the bee copters. Boss of the area is Vile Delta, a post-X8 monster version of Vile fused to a Ride Armor. He is fueled entirely by hatred for X. He speaks in broken words and is the primary villain, until you discover that Sigma found Wily's lab back in the SNES games and built a robot based on Wily's secret prototype Zero-successor prints. This character, named Omega, not to be confused with the one from the Zero series, will have been in hibernation just like X and will have awakened before the game begins. He will serve as the actual puppetmaster antagonist and will reveal himself in the last part of the game. He will mention Lumine, because why not.

- Zero will find parts of Iris in a wreckage of Final Weapon. She can be rebuilt and revived, with her memories intact, and Zero will be able to stay with her. She will become a playable substitute for Zero, and you can equip her swimsuit a swimsuit similar to the navigator ones from the X Legacy Collection artwork. This will be a selling point for many players.

- It will end with a line that implies that the X series connects to the Legends series. Maybe something about Reaverbots. It will also leave itself open to a sequel but not as badly as X8 did.

I mean, 1-5 were a failure. The only series BoF has outsold in comparison to Capcom's other series are 1942, Commando, and Okami which may as well be one game.

Sonic Forces-style reboot, including a Create Your Own Maverick Hunter feature, except every part looks like rear end. Edit: Also, X4's English voices with Axl's being X7's.
