Holy fuck, this game is 10/10, why'd they stop making them again?

X7 happened.Fortunately, X8 was a fantastic Apology.
>>319265454
-first 3D graphics became a thing + the fad, and Mega Man failed its transition from 2D to 3D.
-then FPS games became even bigger fad, that hasn't stopped yet.
-then consolized fps and "Press X to do awesome stuff" games became one, and seeped into every other genre as well.
-Now kids don't even know WTF Mega Man is.
>>319265454
What are you talking about, they made 8 of them and 6 spin offs
X1, X2, or X3?
>>those fucking delicious 16 bit sprites hnnnnggggggggggggggggggggg
I have no idea, anon. Probably because of secret video game Hitler.
Wasn't Megaman X9 supposedly in the making like 10 years ago?
>>319266054
Mega Man Xtreme 1-3, bro.

>-Now kids don't even know WTF Mega Man is.
Bull fucking shit, he's in Smash.
>>319266129
There was no Xtreme 3 liar.
>>319266041
>>319266054
I'm sure he means why did they stop making them, since X8 was 11 years ago
>that Dr.Light theme
Makes me cum evry tiem
>>319266196
"kids" don't play Smash.
Sorry to break this to you.
Hell, I've met kids (<12yos) who didn't know who Super Mario is!

Kids today just wanna play CoD and Minecraft
No more, no less
>>319266258
I loved MMZ and ZX too. I know they tried to get into the cel shady thing with command mission and the last few x games, but I wish they'd just stuck to glorious 16 bit master race.
Surely the gods will bless us will Mega Man X9. Right?
>>319265454
Go play MMX6 and MMX7 and you'll find out.
X2 had better upgrades
And X3 had Zero
And X4 had better Zero
And X5 had even better Zero
And X6 had better armor
And X7 had...
And X8 had better...graphics?
>>319266803I think Capcom is testing the waters with Megaman Legacy Collection. I know most of /v/ thinks it's a cash grab, but it'll probably be the only way we get more Megaman.
>>319266648
a city where 10yos make their grandparents buy the latest CoD for their PS3, from fucking Gamestop.
>>319266803
>11 years
11 years man, it's time to accept it
X9, Legends 3, MM 11, Zero 5
Cmon, Capcom, what the hells going on?
>>319267024
Which means it the perfect time to blindside us. Veritas?

>why'd they stop making them again?
Because they poisoned the brand with low-effort entries and lost a lot of good will. More than any other Mega Man series, the decline in quality across the X series is plainly visible, and substantial. There were only two times an X game was better than its immediate predecessor, X4 and X8, and X8 still pales in comparison to the first few games.
I blame the X series entirely for killing the Mega Man brand. You can blame Capcom for a lot of poor decisions recently (and even this, the quality of the X games, is entirely on Capcom), but there's no denying that public recognition with Mega Man dropped off really hard. They're not wrong to say it isn't profitable to keep making these games. But maybe it would be if they'd seen any kind of quality control on the PS1 and PS2.
Ahem
X1>X2>X4>X3>X6>X5>X8>>>>>>X7

I don't think it's like that at all. They just know that Classic Mega Man still sells, at least well enough considering how easy they are to produce, whether it's a rom collection, or even a new game. They already made a Mega Man 9, and immediately ran it into the ground in record time with a MM10 that nobody asked for. The Legacy Collection could sell gangbusters and it wouldn't mean anything. They already know people liked NES Mega Man games, and they're all already available on multiple digital distribution services.
X4 has one of the greatest soundtracks of all vidya.
Is the Megaman series completely dead?
Is there even hope for any more games, that aren't collections?
When they made 4 they got too ambitious and decide to make it so you can't collect everything on a good playthrough. The story and side-gimmicks became the focal point instead of the actual game and the series lost appeal. Each game just got worse with it.
>>319268014
Its just sleeping right now.
>relevant
>>319268014
Mighty No.9's taken over
Either way, it'll still be a complete fail and thus there will be no hope for a Megaman game or a cheap clone of one
>>319268252
Pffff
>>319268152
>MM3 beat MM2
Literally how
>>319268152
I can't believe Mega Man and Bass beat every single Battle Network game, and by such sizable percentages, too. It's not exactly exceptional. Is it because it was on the GBA? Was it a lot of peoples' first MM platformer?
>>319266932
>what am I fighting fooooooor
>better
>>319268329
Because it's better
>>319268329
I ask the same about MM2 beating MM3. MM2 has the worst Wiley's castle. The music is great, but the content is jarring, including an alien fight where at the end Wily humps the floor.
>>319268252
Daily reminder that this is what they promised and...
>>319265454
I don't even dig megaman that much but 90s Capcom is easily my favorite company ever.
>>319268475
This is what they're actually giving us
>>319268475
>>319268569
God damn
>>319268569
Those big walls must be some of the laziest excuse for a background i have seen in vidya.

>>319266554
If that's the case then then it doesn't matter if kids know who Megaman is, Mario still does crazy well, even Sonic games do pretty well despite their quality, and Megaman's at least on a comparable level to Sonic
