The MBoard

First of all, I'd like to give credit to Someguy for finding this information and sending it to me in a PM.

http://rockmansynergy.com/commons/index.php?blog=2&p=475&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more475

These are rumors, as Someguy says, but if true this is the good news:

• "Capcom is planning an “EPIC” reinvention of the Rockman in the form of a “cinematic style” videogame that would “reboot” the franchise, disregarding everything from the past. The Game is set to release on next-gen consoles. SG did remark that she hasn't heard any news concerning this rumor in quite a while (months), so she personally doesn't believe it to be true."
• Capcom has a series of 20th Anniversary related announcements to be made throughout the new year (2008) regarding new games and other misc. items of interest.
• Some announcements are "big surprises"
• Capcom is apparently going to continue to remake some of the “older” Rockman games. No specifics. (Could this mean more Powered Up and Maverick Hunter?)
  
  
• The long delayed “MegaMan Zero Official Complete Works” will finally release in mid February.
• The upcoming “Rockman and X Complete Works” artbook/sourcebook will reveal the “truth” behind the events that took place between the Original and X series.

(Hopefully, it will put an end to the Zero cataclysm theory once and for all)

• Capcom of America is planning a commemorative 20th Anniversary soundtrack to be released in the spring.
• Capcom is currently searching for a producer and director for an unannounced game.
• The Wii Rockman title will revive a "retired" series that was not concluded. Which series though, is unknown, but it has to be either Original, X or DASH. (PLEASE BE DASH! PLEASE BE DASH!)
  
  
  
  The Bad News:
  
  
• Rockman will not be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
• Capcom is currently discussing the future of the ZX Series. (i.e, if ZX3 will see the light of day) It's fate will be revealed to the fan base directly. No news is good news.
• Ryuusei no Rockman 3 has entered production. (No surprise there) First bits of news will appear in late May or early June. (WHAT THE #####!?)
  
  That's it. The bolded statements are my comments on the subject.

Ha ha, I can't believe it, I doubt that MMSF3 in production is a rumor, after all this is Capcom. I'm curious about that "Epic" reinvention thing mentioned, sounds interesting, same with the Rockman and Rockman X source book. I hope all the good news is true, as I'd like to see all of that happen, I have a little hope though...

A new game that would reboot the franchise eh? Kinda sounds apocalyptic to me.

A new game that would reboot the franchise eh?

We need a game like that, the whole Megaman story line is messed up, if this game could fix that then that would be great, as long as they don't change it so that Megaman was the true carrier of the Sigma/Maverick virus the whole time or something like that

TOO LATE LOLOLLOLOL

I'm dissappointed with the Brawl bit, but it figures. I'm going to buy SF2 since it'll have Wi-Fi, but I personally doubt I'll buy the third one. Here's my largest beef though, if anything.

The sales for MMPU and MHX sucked. What does Capcom do? Stop production.

The sales for Star Force 1 sucked. What does Capcom do? CONTINUE PRODUCTION. LAWL, GOOD CALL CAPCOM.

If that's not enough to peeve me off, they've already set their minds on not just making SF2, but SF3 AS WELL!? Someone PLEASE tell me what's sensible about this!

We haven't even gotten SF2 in North America yet either, then again wasn't RNR2 announced like 2 weeks after we got MMSF? Damn Capcom moves fast with the crappy series. Oh and CV I recommend you don't get SF2 once it's released, got the Japanese copy, it gets pretty boring, fast, I stopped after the tutorial(which is finally skip able)

I'll think about it, but I just want to battle online. That's all that interests me to the series as of now. Everything else is pretty #####ty.

Well I can't remember much about the online play but I remember there were rules you had to follow, such as locked folders (meaning you and your opponent are gunna have the same #####ty folder), and some other stuff I can't remember, but I can't remember much about it since the game sucks.

Wait. You can't use your own folder?

If so, I'm not getting it now.

Something like that, I'm trying to find where I read that from, but I can't see it anywhere. There's also this thing called sky stadium where you go to challenge all them other people online and stuff, then that's when all the rules are set and stuff

The only thing sadly that we'll get is SF3.  NOTHING ELSE.  No exceptions.

All bad news if you ask me.

Reboot?  That's what MHX was.  And it butchered MMX.  Why would I think another reboot wouldn't reek as much?

Revealing what happened between Classic and X?  Gonna suck.  Hard.  VERY hard.  Know how bad the MMZ Complete Works book "filled in" between MMX and MMZ?  Or the "facts" about the X series it "clarified"?   OH BOY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS.  And with above said "reboot" woudn't it be completely irrelivant?

More remakes?  MMPU would be FUN, but let's be honest.  MMPU played very loose compared to the original games.  Just look at how utterly AWFUL the "classic" MM1 mode for MMPU was.  MHX?  No thanks.  X5-X8 ##### on the X series enough.  Why would I want to trade everything that made X1-X4 pure win to update the graphics and get crappy remixes?

Real or not, I see nothing good in any of it.  Mega Man is dead.  I am very sad.  I take that back, no ZX3 is good news.  Let's pray it comes to pass.  Or not pass as it would be.

Reboot?  That's what MHX was.  And it butchered MMX.  Why would I think another reboot wouldn't reek as much?

I don't think that's what Capcom means when they used the term "reboot." I think they're going to reboot MegaMan by giving him a new series that has nothing to do with any other MegaMan game ever made, not reboot by remaking older games and changing the story lines completely.

Man, I do hope they revive Legends. With the powerful engine of today's games, and with the right development team(gulp), it could totally make up for all those Legends-less years.
Just don't make it exclusive for the Wii.

I hope they don't go down the same path Metroid did. That's my biggest fear about a Megaman on the Wii.

Depends what you mean.

Exploring with Mega Man? Sounds like fun.

Mega Man turning into Prime? Give me a gun, please.

I was talking about Prime.

Give me a gun, please.

*hands CV a gun*

I don't think that's what Capcom means when they used the term "reboot." I think they're going to reboot MegaMan by giving him a new series that has nothing to do with any other MegaMan game ever made, not reboot by remaking older games and changing the story lines completely.

Same difference.  Looking at WHAT changes were made to MHX is a good barameter to the direction they'd take.  And I took it to mean a reboot of MEGAMAN, not a new unrelated series.

And lets face it, the fact Inti Creates #####ed Mega Man up so bad that it NEEDS a reboot is just sad.

As much as I like the sound of some of these things... I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

At least I have been given some comfort knowing that they RECOGNIZE it.

All of it sounds like pointless speculation to me.

RnR3 eh?  Who saw that one coming?

Me. Totally. I'm psychic.

I sure didn't![/sarcasm]

Damn it, NovaMan, that was my line!

And was going to be my post if this internet didn't suck.

Expect RnR 5 then Capcom shuts down for good.  No more Megaman ever.

So just like it is now?

Xero, Capcom will merge long before they decide to fall.

Nobody decides to fall...

Unless you want to stay home from school/work the next day, so you "fall" and pretend to break your leg. Worked for me. Only that time I actually broke my leg  ;_;

Why would you actually fall? Just tell someone you fell earlier that day.

It would be more convincing if you fell in front of them.

• Rockman will not be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OR?!

"Rockman"? What is this Rockman?

Apparently...

(http://www.clive.nl/images/10254.jpg)

This guy.

Where the hell did you find that?

Tragically, I own that game for both the Speccy and the C64.

It's AWFUL.

And just to prove how much better things were back in the day, the "199 Range" was just that:  A label of games that were £1.99 new.

Up until "big box" games like Rainbow Islands and Ghostbusters II came out, the most you'd ever pay for a Speccy game was £3.99...

Big box set you back £9.99...

Awesome.

Where the hell did you find that?

Google my friend. Google.

Years ago, it just came up when I searched for information on the Blue Bomber. This is "supposedly" the reason why he was dubbed Mega Man in the states. Can't remember where this infro was from, so don't necessarily count it as true already.

If it is true, then that's sad, RockMan was dubed MegaMan because of a crap game that didn't even get any sequels.

I thought the name was changed because they thought Americans wouldn't get/like the running gag about the names and was changed to'Megaman' because it sounded more American.

Or something like that.

MegaMan Matrix sounds SO much better than RockMan Matrix. And the abbreviation, MMM. RMM looks so lame and too similar to RPM. So changing RockMan to MegaMan is a good thing.

"Rockman"? What is this Rockman?

I'm guessing he's ROCKMAN: UNDERGROUND SECRET AGENT.


(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/Lunchebox/GoldenageRockman.jpg)

But ROFFLERRRR!

rofl


er.

Oh wow, that's roflitious.

A reboot of Megaman? This can end really great or utterly ##### tastic. Crisis of Infinite Megamans here we come.

"Crisis of Infinite Megamans"

Ha, that's wicked.

Apparently...

(http://www.clive.nl/images/10254.jpg)

This guy.

That's NOT who we've been talking about all these years?

Oh my.



Oh yeah, like all that "news" sucks, no real good news to speak of.

Well, let's say it's a "possibility" that it could be good news.

'Cause a Star Force 3 is definitely everything but that.

Here's hoping for a new Legends series.
I'm afraid I'm with Rez on this one, bridging the classic and X series would totally decimate the MegaMan world as we know it. It could cause a time paradox and bring about the destruction of the universe.

MegaMan not being in Brawl makes me sad, but when I think about it, if they had put him in, it probably would have been MegaMan.exe

I still maintain that while Capcom would push for one of those crappy MMs, Nintendo would put in original or X if they decided to have him in their game.

Classic or X.

Either way, I still get a boner.

Whats with you!?

He gets boners from video game characters that are male... ew.

Either way, I still get a boner.

You're not funny even the slightest.

Whats with you!?

He's trying to be col like some of us but is combining the worst parts of our humour styles into one menacing Frankenjoke.

It's almost like he's the Karate Kid, but CM is Mr. Miyagi.

I just read that from him in 2 threads.
I don't like him.

If you want to be funny you need timing.

Time it right and it works.

I think he's serious Xero, and I agree.

Why post it if it has nothing to do with the thread? Hell it doesn't even have anything to do with the off topic blabber. It's just spam. And spam is bad.

Uh, no crap, I posted it about four times just because I felt like it. If it's not funny, then don't laugh, idiot, instead of just making a big deal about it.

'Nuff said.

No one laughed in the first place.

Yeah when I make a joke, I'm proposing something that's MAYBE funny, not because I actually think "Oh wow, this is so witty, everyone's going to laugh at this." That way it's plenty annoying when some asshole has to come up and say "You're not funny, no one's laughing." I KIND OF figured that out for myself, thanks.

That being said, posting the same thing four times is generally going to make people target you, regardless of your intent, and saying you "felt like it" isn't going to ease anyone off your back, either. It doesn't make you "cool" or "different" or "original" or whatever the hell you were probably going for, so my best advice is to simply not do it.

Play nice, kiddies.

This is playing nice, Uncle Voulnet.

• Rockman will not be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Well, THAT came true.

That was completely random.

Tell me how that was random at all.

It was just out of nowhere.

It's 100% relevant to the thread.

You got me.

*facepalms*

I nearly facepalmed hard enough to rip my eyelids off.

Same, but I wear glasses.

NERD! (http://nnneeerrrdddsss.ytmnd.com/)

I'm afraid that anything capcom does to any megaman game in the future will have the same effect on me as a poorly written fanfic.

To elaborate... MMZX3... You find out that the biometal ZX is actually the love child of the cyber-elves of Z and X from the Z series...

That was already revealed in the secret ending of ZX:A.

Also, Axl created Model W.

I'm afraid that anything capcom does to any megaman game in the future will have the same effect on me as a poorly written fanfic.

It's been like that since X5.

No, No...

Games before the Z series had a difficulty twards game-play.

And still read like bad fan fiction.

Let me sum up X5:

"BLAH BLAH BLAH SPACE SHUTTLE, BLAH BLAH BLAH GIANT LASER, BLAH BLAH BLAH HOLY #####, GRIZZLY BEAR BOSS, AWESOME BLAH BLAH BAT BOSS, BADASS BLAH BLAH BLHA GUNS AND ROSES REFERENCES BLAH BLAH BLAH IS THAT A #####ING DINOSAUR BREATHING FIRE BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH ##### YES, DUFF MCWHALEN, YOU ARE THE BEST MAVERICK EVER BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH SIGMA BLAH BLAH BLAH NEW CHARACTER LOOKS GAY, BUT HAS POTENTIAL BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH X AND ZERO ARE LIKE TOTALLY GAY BLAH BLAH BLAH DR. WILY BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH EURASIA COLONY"


X6:

"BLAH BLAH HI I'M GATE AND I'M A TOTAL HOMO BLAH BLAH BLAH BOY, I MISS ZERO BLAH BLAH BLAH MAVERICK GHOST THINGS BLAH BLAH BLAH HEY, DYNAMO'S BACK, COOL BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH ##### YES, HIGH MAX, YOU ARE THE BEST MAVERICK EVER BLAH BLAH BLAH GATE WAS NAILING ALIA BACK IN THE DAY BLAH BLAH BLAH OH MY GOD ZERO BLAH BLAH BLAH X AND ZERO ARE SO GAY BLAH BLAH BLAH THERE'S LIKE ONE COOL BOSS, AND HE'S A GIANT TURTLE BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH WHAT THE ##### KIND OF NAME IS "METAL SHARK PLAYER" BLAH BLAH BLAH OH IT WAS ACTUALLY SIGMA BLAH BLAH BLAH WILY HINTS BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH ZELLLOOOOOO!!!111"

X7:

"Whatthe#####isthis#####?!"

X8:

"This is slightly less horrible. Tee-hee. Flaming Cock."

Let me sum up X5:

X6:

X7:

X8:

Someone needs to animated all that into a flash.

If I could, I would, and provide all the voices.

And all the Mavericks in X5 would get props, as they rocked.

I'm that close to animating it.

Rainy Turtloid was indeed awesome.

I love him and all other turtles.

Ruined the only good thing in X8, good job yuri.

That was X6, WW.

Ruined the only good thing in X8, good job yuri.

You are an idiot. I mean I may be annoying sometimes, but at least I'm not a retard.

Shut up Yuri, it was a joke. He's not a retard either, it takes one to know one..

Actually, WW, you are a retard.

<---------- DURRRRRRR

It's OK, Wing.

Everything after X5 is virtually the same, so it's a reasonable mistake to make.

unless you factor in that the games are in totally different number of dimensions but whatever

Either way, I only finished X1/2 3-8 are too fail to want to play for me.

though four was fun... still, it was fail.

I am greatly saddened by this revelation.

Both (released initially for SNES, then ported to PSX with lifeless remixes and animated cutscenes.) And I was using 'nub' as a joke. [/forestallendlesslulzwar]

"ANYONE who choses to use the word 'NUB'...

Diediediedie.

Drat, my forestallment failed. All hands to battle stations! Shields up, weapons free!

Also, wasn't X3 32-bit?

Nope. The PS version still had the same graphics, just extra cutscenes, beefed up SFX, and music.

That's not the topic.

Okay...


CAPCOM, YOUR SO MEAN MAKING GAMES WE DON'T LIKE, BUT WE BUY THEM ANYWAY, WHINE WHINE WHINE, BITCH BITCH BITCH, DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE.

Happy now?

That's not the topic.

It isn't?

Capcom seems to be on the ball with everything else BUT Megaman.

And Street Fighter.

I mean, look at SF4! Haven't we played Street Fighter Two enough already? #####! 3D looks nice, though.

Nope. The PS version still had the same graphics, just extra cutscenes, beefed up SFX, and music.

More like #####ed up SFX.  Remixes in PS1/SAT X3 were ass.

I know that, but that's what Capcom calls beefed up.

The music was tolerable. I was annoyed everytime I charged my buster though.

Reading pages like this (moreso at the start of this one) really remind me how much I hate internet stuff, such as (but definitely not limited to) "burn with fire", "ftw", "fail".

I do not see how X4 was "fail" though.

Someone needs to animated all that into a flash.

No thank you.

It was funny, but there's upwards of 86.2 billion flash cartoons similar to that and they're all annoying.

I wish I could say that the amount of good news makes up for the fact that Megaman isn't in Brawl.

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is the vague mention of Powered Up, Brawl, and Legends.

Everything else is really just a surprise...

If anyone is craving megaman in a smash bros game, Look up Smash bros flash, lol. We all know it's nothing to brawl, but it at least gives some peace of mind if not stress relief.

Smash Bros. Flash is complete garbaggio.

The idea of a custom Smash Game is nice, but that flash is horrid.

It doesn't even feel like Smash at all.

MegaMan is included in SSBNES (http://ssbnes.com/), also crap but slightly cooler.

I think it looks like fun whether it's like Smash Bros. or not. The NES one, not the flash one. The flash one is crap.

I've heard the NES one is quite ass too.

 :'( AH MAN  :-X

It is. I tried it a few months ago when it was released.

No recovery moves, and you get 3 attacks, no normal fighting, just your 3 specials. And the Adventure mode on Easy is ridiculous, the bosses just won't die...

And then a 4-player battle will give you a seizure with all the zooming in whenever you move closer or farther apart.

Oh well, at least they tried.

There is no "try".

• Capcom is currently discussing the future of the ZX Series. (i.e, if ZX3 will see the light of day) It's fate will be revealed to the fan base directly. No news is good news.

Sadly, that IS bad news that it might not be continued because of fanbase.  But, I guess one person who actually likes the game and doesn't look for all the flaws don't count in all this. =T

• Ryuusei no Rockman 3 has entered production. (No surprise there) First bits of news will appear in late May or early June. (WHAT THE #####!?)

Can I bet that I'm the only one who thinks that that news is good news?

Yes...because everyone else thinks it sucks.

Plz dont let Rockman dash be for the wii. I dont have one.

Oh, right, thanks. Selfish much?

plz dont let it be for anything cuz i dun have the new systums!!1  :'( :'(

I call em up and see if they can make a Tiger Handheld version for you.

Go buy a Wii.

I'm letting Someguy do the honors.

Well it cant be on a PS system anymore because I dont have a PS3.

I don't own any video game systems! Don't ever release the game!

You must be really skilled with your tongue then..

Yeah, I think he only meant to hit the E once, but unfortunately it had a bit of ice on it.

I'm sure Capcom will release it for ALL the consoles you own. Because they care.

Or because they like to milk everything.

Actually you might be surprised but it CAN. Recent studies confirm that what you have doesn't dictate the rest of the universe. Shocking, I know.

Right on, brother! You tell 'im!

You want to make Star Force and Battle Network salvagable?

They should give us the option to create our own net navi and allow us with lots of flexablity with parts and abilities then we can us them to battle and stuff.

Just fighting as Mega Man alone doesn't do good.

That's what everyone's been wanting, but we'll never get it will we?

It's all Capcom really has to do to make these somewhat tolerable.

I mean look what they did with MMPU.  It was excellent and it came with everything we wanted.  They just need to use this approach with BN and SF and it could get more supporters.

Making your own Navi is what Battle Network Online would be.  In a core game, you play as Lan and have Mega Man as your navi.  It's REAL simple.  Deviating from that is a one way ticket to failure by removing the core characters.  Imagine Mega Man 9 coming out and instead of Mega Man you get to build YOUR OWN ROBOT to fight Dr. Wily.  Anyone who just squeed "OMG THAT SOUNDS SO COOL" may take thier tickets to the Mauling Tent and stand in the line of pain.

Well it was kind of stupid that it's always MegaMan.exe VS MegaMan.exe any time you battle a friend.

How about, instead of a Battle Network formula, Star Force implemented something new? No boring or tedious quests, just good original fun.

Like, 2D platforming perfection where you can shoot a buster gun and select from 8 different levels, each with a different boss at the end from whom you could steal their weapons?

I really wish someone would make a game like that nowadays!

Bah, that would never work. Everyone knows the future is in mass-produced quasi-platformers with semi-RPG elements.

Network Transmission was trash, I hope they wouldn't make it like that. BN on the wonderswan was sort of better, it was basically the same system as Network Transmission, but felt more like a real Mega Man game.

Yeah, but nobody plays Wonderswan.

And it wasn't released out of Japan either.

Probably not, since I've never physically seen one.

It sucks, you flip it around to play certain stages, It's stupid as hell.

So then how did it feel more like a real MegaMan game?

Well, when you weren't morphing into idiotic positions, you were just playing the game, starting out with a charge shot, and just scrolling through levels. You didn't have to go get some stupid chip or some piece of crap someone wanted, you just scroll, pew pew, boss. Straightforward game.

Also, in the levels, if you took different routs, you would fight different bosses. That was pretty cool.

It sucks, you flip it around to play certain stages, It's stupid as hell.

You're thinking of MegaMan and Bass 2

I was actually thinking about the Wonderswan in general.

I so badly want Capcom to make a Mega Man & Bass 2.

Then someone tells me that they already made it.

I open my mouth, pause, remember, and then say, "God damnit..."

This constantly happens.

They made a Mega Man & Bass 2.

Way to follow the flow, yo.

If the build your own Navi was confined only to the online portion, and the core portion of the game was locked to Lan and MM EXE, then that could work. But the core would HAVE to stay Lan and MM.

And you know it wouldn't.
