Capcom hopes Street Fighter X Mega Man scratches a certain type of itch for Mega Man fans, Chun-Li was most difficult to design

Still itching for a proper X9.

Get real, if all fans wanted was some fan-produced content, people wouldn't have been so pissed.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate what they did, picking up a fan's work and releasing it officially, but that doesn't scratch any type of itch. If anything, it only makes thing worse because the only Mega Man related thing people get is not really from Capcom.

The game looks really good cant wait to play as a BIG megaman fan I am really hype to play this hopefully Capcom watches the download count of this game so we can get X9 or mml3 (restarted)

#2 is exactly what's wrong with the Mega Man fanbase. Bunch of ungrateful ingrates.

#2 STFUPanda is more like it...

It's a free game that hopefully we all download and enjoy so Capcom will revive the Mega Man franchise. Sure it was fan made but Capcom is backing it and helped with the process. Why people are bitching about this is beyond me.

And has anyone ever Wiki'd the Mega Man series of games? Holy shirt there are a lot of them, Capcom was releasing tons of them a year, so there hasn't been one in what.... 3 years? The franchise needed a break.

I'm hoping for a new mega man fighter.... A real fighting game this time. Not a boss rush.

Panda is right. However I see the ultimate Capcom tool NoizyChild doesn't agree, how surprising... no really.

Who the hell cares if Capcom is backing this, you know how many MegaMan fan games there are? That crap doesn't scratch any itch at all.

Ah front page EH... where would the FGC be without ya.

The biggest problem from fans/fanatics/fanboys is that MML3 was in production and then it was scrapped unexpectedly and without justification to my knowledge and the "New" Capcom is treating him like the Elephant in the room.

So it goes beyond the Blue Boy being on a 3 year hiatus.

That goes with saying; What have the Mega Man fans been doing aside from moaning about the hiatus? Some of these fans done themselves a faor and made their own game. They are smart enough not to complain so brashy. On top of that, has every mega man fan played through all available games or did they just want to be like the ones who actually had?

never gonna play this unless a console release is coming down the road.

Im pretty sure with this being mega mans 25th anniversary Capcom probably has new MM game in the works for release in 2013..

This game should definitely get a psn release for sure!!!

I don't understand why people are so upset about MM, it's not like there isn't a lot of MM games out there. The series has been out for 25 years, and there are over 130 megaman games, so yeah.

I would love a console realese too. Otherwise i'll have to grit my teeth and try to run this on my P.O.S. computer.

What do people want in a new Megaman game anyway? Is it a side scroller? Well, you can get that in this game and the last one didn't sell that well. Or is it just for the sake of having Megaman in a new game?

So many ungrateful fans.

Free megaman game and people cry about not getting blah blah megaman.

Pretty sure this game will run fine on a pos cpu.

I'm just hoping that there is a high amount of fans playing this game which could give Capcom an impression that there is still hope for Megaman, which could also demonstrate the fans' support for an actual Megaman game created by Capcom (AHEM, Megaman Legends 3, the main reason I bought a god damn 3DS) or anything Megaman related.

nobody cares about cole, why the hell do they keep pushing him in every game?

People just wasn't ready for it to enter the 2.5D trend during that time. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that great, but it wasn't a terrible game. It just felt a little slower to me and the bad guys could've looked cooler. After bringing SF4 in, I think X could come in strong now that Capcom had a good feel for the system for a while. All they have to do is not joke with it.

Also, no more MEGAMAN MEGAMAN interruptions. Take it back to X1 times when you learn the stages yourself. Lol

yo, itch? sounds nasty :D

i am excited for SF X MM though, been waiting for a release for a while now.

Wow, whiners and whiners whining about the whiners and then saying they're not whiners because they think they know better than everyone else...what a wonderful gaming community we have. *kappa*
And since we're on the subject of fan made games, anybody remember another hugely popular fanmade Mega Man game made using a Doom mod called Mega Man 8 Bit Deathmatch?

So many more whiners complaining about whining than there are people actually complaining that the only official content that capcom can produce for it's fans is fan-made.

@11

I ran through...

mega man 1-6 on NES
Mega man 7 and Rock/Forte on SNES
Mega Man 8 on PSX
Mega man X 1-3 on SNES
Mega Man X 4-6 on PSX

Those were the only MM games that mattered to me. I gave up on the X series once I saw 7.
These new MM 8bit games (9-10) ain't doin it for me. That game was cool in the 80's. Legends was
Wack to me, That soccer game was trash, irregular hunter on psp was acceptable (beat that too).
I want an X9 that returns to the roots. Side scrolling 2D action with dope sprites. Hell, i wouldn't mind
If they used the same graphic engine as X4-6. And no stupid boss names like Duff McWhalen!

Free fan made game officially backed by Capcom

*reads complaints

The Megaman fanbase gotten worse

Funny how everyone is basing the Megaman fanbase off a fansite dedicated to fighting games.

Ignorance is bliss..

@27

Doesn't matter that it's on a fighting game site. The fact remains that they're complaining about a FREE fan-made game that is officially being supported by capcom. a MEGA MAN game at that. Come on already.

The thing that gets me excited about this is that 1. It's on PC and I don't have a 360 or a PS3 and 2. It's free so po' people like me can afford it. This is the only capcom game made after the PS2 era that I can actually play. Thanks for caring about the "have-not's" Capcom, I never thought I'd have a chance to participate in the modern era of gaming.

#28 nails it.

The MM fanbase is officially on par with the Sonic fanbase in terms of sheer ungratefulness.

# 28 and #30 sad community we live in when all people(that act like children) like to do is complain,

I don't see anyone complaining about this game. It's just the fact that people want a legit, up to date, Mega Man game, and Capcom expects this MMxSF to fill that void? I don't think so. That's like Capcom coming out with SF5 using the same graphics engine as SF1, and saying "hope that scratches the itch!" I bet all ya'll n-ggas would be like "F--K THAT!"

@32

When has Capcom or anyone for that matter state that this game will fill the void of mega man? This is nothing new, they're gauging the interest for a new up-to-date mega man by backing this game. Just like they did for Street Fighter and are currently doing for Darkstalkers.

And there are actually quite a few people complaining about this. And you are a part of that.

@10

Uh, what? Capcom stated many times why they canceled MML3...it was never a secret. There was not enough fan response or support when MML3 was announced, and Capcom decided to cut their losses sooner rather than later. It takes you all of 3 seconds of Google searching to find that reason. It didn't help that Legends is the least popular of all the MM spinoffs either; I GUARANTEE you that a vast majority of the people complaining about that game's cancellation had never played a MML game before.

Furthermore, aside from MM9 and 10, most of the Mega Man titles they had been putting out were not really hitting sales expectations either. And it's not like they were bad games either. Mega Man ZX was great, and Maverick Hunter X was a fantastic remake. Capcom initially had longterm plans for both of those series, yet nothing came of either due to sales not reaching Capcom's expectations. So the writing was on the wall for MML3 to begin with.

A good portion of the Mega Man complainers are full of sh*t. Didn't support any of the Mega Man series when they were still being pumped out, and only cared once Mega Man was put on hiatus. Like #11, what have these so-called fans been doing?

@25

You should have tried MMX8, it was actually pretty good. They went back to the side-scrolling style after the absolute disaster that X7 was. Being able to play as two characters simultaneously (via switching between them) was a pretty cool mechanic as well. Plus, Vile was back!

@33

What are you talking about? I never said I disliked the game at all, so how do I fit into that category? I've never complained about the game. It's probably great (I've yet to play it, so I can't say). All i'm saying is I undestand why people would be like "give us a real MM game already" Capcom already put out 2 new 8bit MM games that did fairly well - shouldn't that be enough proof that people still love the Blue Bastard? I'm going to play MMxSF, just like I've played just about every other MM game that came out - but I would like to see Capcom actually put some REAL work into a new MM game (whether it be Original MM or X).

@34 Megaman X8 was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. I personally liked mixing and matching armor parts. Good game.

This is pretty cool since it is fan made and capcom approves. There was in awesome fan made remake of chrono trigger in the works and square shut them down :(

ALl i heard was that someone was fan makeing the game for free, then capcom came in, took the work and finished the game and is now releasing (backing) it.

not sure if its true or not but whatever.

"We funded development of the project, provided creative input and direction, handled QA, marketing (including the great trailer created by Capcom-Unity’s own Chris Antista), sorted out legal clearances and naturally, handled distribution via Capcom-Unity.com," Svensson said. "I don’t want to downplay in any way, Zong Hui’s contribution. He was the creative visionary behind the game’s concept and execution. He was amazingly responsive all through the development process to our feedback, often turning builds into us every couple of days for more feedback. The iterative process was among the best I’ve seen."

From Sven's interview with IGN.

Rit4life logic is astounding

Capcom: We don't think people like Darkstalkers so lets re-release a game that's already made in order to see whether or not people like Darkstalkers.

From a person with sanity, it would be stupid to buy the same game twice just because it's the same game.

If Capcom thinks I won't buy DS:Res because I don't care for Darkstalkers anymore, they are nothing more than jaded a$sholes who doesn't care for their fanbase.

Oh wait.

@34

That's because Capcom went ahead and despite Devil May Cry being as popular as it they farmed the title out to Ninja Theory. Changed the gameplay and the main character drastically.

Lol but hey if you want to go ahead and believe what Capcom stated because there is no real rhyme or reason for what they do then that's on you. Capcom would have put out something regardless of how much faith they had in the series to begin with.
