Corrupted is going to be fantastic. What would be even better is if Capcom, out of nowhere, announces X9 as a SNES-style downloadable title or, even less likely, Maverick Hunter X2.

CyberConnect2′s CEO Would Be Happy To Work On Mega Man Legends 3

Siliconera posted:

Capcom partnered with Solatorobo creator and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja developer CyberConnect2 to create Asura�s Wrath. It�s a brand new intellectual property where you play as an enraged demigod who gets beat down by planet-sized bosses before turning the fight around with a dramatic comeback.

Asura�s Wrath will be CyberConnect2′s first Capcom published title when it comes out next year. Curious to see what the future could hold and since Capcom lets external developers work on established franchises, I asked Hiroshi Matsuyama, CEO and President of CyberConnect2, what Capcom series would he like to develop.

"It would be Mega Man Legends 3," exclaimed Matsuyama in a Siliconera interview. "I really like the series!" Just this week Capcom canceled the Mega Man Legends 3 project for Nintendo 3DS where fans collaborated with the development staff on creating a sequel. Matsuyama said he was disappointed by that announcement. CyberConnect2′s work on Solatorobo and Tail Concerto could be a foundation for a Mega Man Legends sequel too. Would any fans "green light" a Mega Man Legends game from the Fukuoka based developer?

Would we green light it? Pretty sure we'd green light anyone at this point.

Anyone know any good Megaman-like games out there? Preferably indie and preferably free, but definitely not Capcom-made.

Rosenkreuzstilette is a pretty great Mega Man-style doujin game. I say "style," even though it's heavily-inspired and even takes things directly from Mega Man. It's pretty great. It's not free, but there are places you can go to buy it legitimately online.

Mega Man and Castlevania, if i remember right. So much Castlevania.

The guys involved are huge Castlevania fans, so much so that the evil guy in the game fights like a cross between Rondo of Blood Dracula and Heat Man from MM2. It's fantastic. The whole thing about "little girls" is really whatever since the game is so well made. The lead artist (and currently only guy involved in the game since the other guy vanished) does a lot of hentai artwork, and some of that comes out a little bit in the character design, but really, Rosenkreuzstilette is, at its core, designed by Mega Man fans, for Mega Man fans. Half the fun is matching what stages are taken straight from what Mega Man title.

I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm looking for something that resembles the style of Megaman as well as it gameplay.

Really, I'm hoping to find a real Megaman game, since Capcom's probably not gonna do anymore.

Really, give RKS's demo a shot.

I hope that the good changes that they made to the formula in X8 stay.

I think what he's trying to say is that the changes in the formula will stay in X8, because any future X games are stuck in the limbo of speculation and "probably-not-gonna-happen," which is depressing to think about.

Gammatron 64 posted:

Navigators are dumb and we never needed them in the first place, if anything that's a feature they should have removed entirely, but at least the game gave me the option to turn them off, unlike X5.

Hey, with navigators, I can have two Zeros in the form of a Zero-Layer team. That's reason enough to keep them around.

Well, there's always the doujin community. With things like Rosenkreuzstilette out there, I'm sure some group could come up with a Mega Man-style game that encompasses everything we all want (and, of course, a few things we don't). I have hope for Corrupted.

A mega man game where players could get in each other's way and hurt each other with special weapons and stuff would be a destroyer of friendships to rival mario party or... Or counter-strike or something, I dunno. The point is, it'd be hilarious.

I'm just hoping the continuing decline of the Japanese game industry motivates Capcom to drop the petty bullshit and release Mega Man Legends 3 (by forcing them to find something that will yield a positive return).

Watch them do a "reboot" of the series in the vein of Bionic Commando.

Don't even joke about that....

The trailer will feature the lines "The greatest warrior in the Universe..." and "The things that Legends are made of..." right before some kid dons a suit that makes him look a Michael Bay Transformer, cocks his arm gun, turns to the camera, and says "Let's ROCK and ROLL!"

You can, but why would you want to? Shoulder camera superiority.

Also, if you're having trouble with Legends for some reason, try the walkcancel glitch. Stand in place and get a lock on an enemy, then rapidly tap up while holding down the fire button. You can fire pretty much as fast as you want with that method, making Rapid upgrades pretty much worthless. (It also makes getting Licenses in 2 so much easier.)

I have to replay MML with that in mind. I had no idea.

Seriously, you might be linking a good game for all I know, but look at that link. Try just a little harder to sell it. Gameplay video? Description? Nope, just anime.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, it's a Megaman clone that's actually really good. This one is the sequel, actually; the original has a trial version in English if you want to give it a shot. But yeah, if you can look past the anime, it's pretty much one of the best Megaman clones you can find, made by two guys who are big Original, X, and Zero fans.

My brother showed me this earlier today.

You know how in cartoons when two villains team up to defeat [main character] and are always defeated by in-fighting? I am going to use all my willpower to alter the fabric of the universe and make that not the case with this comic. Robotnik and Wily become lifelong friends and constantly write each other letters as pen-pals on how to deal with their respective blue nemesis. This has to be the case, because look how awesome this cover is. I mean, they didn't even loving bother killing Mega Man or Sonic just because they're having such a loving blast on that tandem bike.

Best bros forever.

I love how Sonic and Mega are like "Welp. This happened. That's embarrassing."

That's a good point, but if I was a Capcom lawyer studying the game and its creators, and I came across some of his "tasteful fan art", I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. He has art of a Shampoo body pillow design on the game's website.

It's weird and probably creepy enough, but given the Darkstalkers series, I doubt any Capcom staff member is a stranger to awful body pillows and probably wouldn't let that cloud their judgments of a singular title.

Dear god, Inafune isn't even trying to hide what he's doing, is he? He's got a chance to reinvent the art style, to make something completely new and interesting while utilizing familiar gameplay mechanics, and what is he doing with it? He's making generic Robot Masters again. Hell, even the ZX robots were more aesthetically appealing -- bizarre and abstract as they were, they at least showed some imagination. This is just "he is a robot who uses fire."

MMZ reinvented the art style, and people just complain about it. Who cares if this just looks like Fire x Heat Man 2.0? What matters is how he looks on-screen, not in concept art, and how he interacts with the game world in which he resides.

I think we've reached a point in the 2000-year old demon fad where if a girl doesn't look like a conservative 20-something, many are automatically inclined to write it off as otaku fodder and will consider it creepy, regardless of whether it actually is or not.

Look at how people react to Ciel. She's completely inoffensive in design and execution, but hell if people don't call her a loli made only for creepers. All Mega Man girls should look like Kalinka and Layer.

I think GalGun is hilarious, because it has PS Move support and thus can be played with the Killzone rifle peripheral.
