Mega Man Universe has officially been announced by Capcom. Kenji Inafune is heading development of this new Mega Man title.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1106644p1.html
| IGN wrote: |
"We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe," said Inafune. "This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they'll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true."
While details on the title were slim, Capcom dropped a few hints in the announcement that seems to imply this won't be another standard 8-bit title like we saw with Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10.
To describe Mega Man Universe, Capcom used phrases such as: "revolutionary take," "new chapter in classic gaming," and "imagination is the star of the game." The company ended its announcement by saying: "Its official: classic gaming will never be same again." |
Sounds like they are building alot of hype for this. MMO?

Wow, that was fantastic.
They don't make things cool like that anymore much these days.
I dunno what the fuck this game is but, DO WANT!! Perhaps you can play through Megaman levels with various Capcom heroes (ala Ryu and Arthur).

Lul at MM1 boxart Mega Man, interesting but I always tend to hate these kind of trailers that keep me guessing as they always seem to disappoint me in the end.

If it's an MMO, count me out. But if it's not....well, I'll have to know more about it to say anything about it. All I can say is that it was awesome seeing MegaMan 1 guy there at the end.

Wow, they better deliver after something like that. I don't know what part of that implied MMO so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's not. This could be the greatest thing ever created.

Just based on the name alone, I don't really think it is, just throwing that out there.
I honestly have no idea what the fuck this could be.

Meanwhile, they've cancelled the western release of Mega Man Battle Network: Operation Shooting Star. I was really looking forward to the possibility of finally fighting revamped versions of Crashman and Crystalman.

I'm really hoping for a fighting game, but something tells me it'll be like a Mario Party game or something. Second-best thing is a card game like YGO and Magic. >_>

Hearing the Ghouls and Ghosts theme gave me a boner.

I really hate the phrase "breaking the mold".
That being said, I'm pretty excited about this. That trailer was awesome.

i dont think its an MMO since its targetting fans of the original series. and its supposed to be 80's inspired. so... who knows. and since it will be on XBLA & PSN, i doubt an MMO would work that way.

As with Namco X CAPCOM, this can be attributed to poor sales over there. That, and apparently that game was mostly a graphical retread of MM BN 2.
As to MMU, I'm cautiously optimistic.

It's probably going to be a glorified port of the level builder from MM:Powered Up. Everybody can make levels to share with other users and they get a customizable Mega Man to play through them with.
The other Capcom stuff like Arthur and Ryu will just be pieces you can mix and match your Mega Man with, maybe these parts give bonuses like a speed increase or rapid fire. I doubt it's a fighting game although it could have a battle mode so players can fight each other, similar to what MM7 had.
Whatever it turns out to be, I hope American Box Art Mega Man is in it, Capcom loves joke characters and it makes sense after seeing him at the end of the video.

Mega Man 2 box art guy would be way sweeter. Also, McScurvy, your signature is fantastic.

We will find out on the 22nd, but almost no signs point to this being an MMO. Capcom mentioned back in the day that if it were to be an MMO it would include the PC, and since this game is PSN and XBL only, I'm assuming this is more akin to Little Big Planet type game than an MMO.

if the trailer represents the game, then i would imagine an classic Megaman game set in the Real world with crossovers from all kind of games. ok, i have a boner right now.

How bizarre. It doesn't concretely say much of anything, and sadly I assume there's little to no chance of Mega Man waking me up at 1:31 in the morning so I can watch him fight small pieces of hardware.
A level builder thing could be cool, if it's truly fleshed out and capable of some cool stuff. As in, more than just a typical Mega Man stage. Being to do something like Mega Man Legends somehow could be cool. If it's really "revolutionary" though, it can't be just a level builder.

I'm halfway wondering if 1:31 is an implication of a January 31st release.
