>>338939443The Boom cartoon is actually good. The only real flop about Boom was the games.
>>338939443
FANTASTIC
THEY ACTUALLY MANAGED TO MAKE A DESIGN THAT'S EVEN LESS APPEALING THAN THE ORIGINAL
I HATE THIS WORLD SO MUCH.
Can videogames just die already?
>The series will follow Mega Man’s newly-introduced alter-ego, Aki Light, a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot who, when activated, re-forms into a suit of impenetrable armor. Other characters from the games and new characters, including Mega Mini, will also be featured.
Sounds really generic. New Mega Man design looks really amateurish, too.
>Aki
>Not calling him Rock
Come on, guys. Judging by his surname, I guess Dr. Light is confirmed, not that that's a huge surprise. Fully expecting Dr. Wily to be an evil teacher or something.
>>338939603
That's because the cartoon is basically Ironic the Hedgehog made by people who are well aware of the Sanic meme.
>>338939443
Boom is actually funny, and successful though besides the wii u shitfest.
>>338939723
Doesn't change my point.
He looks like shota Tron.
>>338939443
IT'S NOT TOO LATE
EVERYONE, E-MAIL THE FUCK OUT OF COA, COJ, AND MAN OF ACTION

I don't even care anymore, rape his corpse with corporate cock as much as you feel like
>>338940119
>reboot
That's not the word you're looking for.
>>338938829
I don't know, Ben 10 and Generator Rex were decent shows, it's just that the execs at CN kept wanting to change and reboot the show in order to sell toys.
Megaman has a large catalog of robot masters, so if they just keep making figures of them I think it will strike a balance.
(That megaman looks terrible though.)
>Aki Light
>>338939526
>>338939716
Why not just make it about mega man
Why not just call him rock
Why can't cartoons based off video games be good
>>338938829
I trust him, Ben 10 and Generator X were good
>>338939805
That doesn't change the fact that the redesigns are bad and pointless.
>>338940953
Because video games are evil. Now come into the living room with us and watch this show about ghetto nigresses fighting over haircare products.
>>338938468
If you read the premises of Megaman ZX or Star Force out loud they'd probably sound just as silly.
I don't think this will be all that successful, but it's likely most of you wouldn't like anything created with the intention of appealing to 6-9 year olds today anyway.
>the series will follow Mega Man’s newly-introduced alter-ego, Aki Light, a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot who, when activated, re-forms into a suit of impenetrable armor
But he already has an alter-ego named Rock that would fit this bill perfectly???????????????????????
>>338941018
Definetly agree there.
Well...It isn't the worse redesign.
>>338938829
Ben 10 was great. The reason Ultimate Spider-Man was shit was because of Jeph Loeb being insane as usual.Show's gotten better though.
>Aki Light
What was wrong with 'Rock'?
>>338940953
Because Light will probably be Japanese and Rock doesn't sound like a Japanese name so they changed it to Aki sound more Japanese so kids will get that Megaman is from Japan japan japan japan japan
>>338938468
Now I'm curious how the other characters will look.
>this show is going to make the 90s megaman cartoon look like the citizen Kane of TV
Lord help us
>>338940953
>Why can't cartoons based off video games be good
Probably because most of those cartoons are given to people who don't know jack shit about the source material. They're given limited information and construct an entirely new product tailored to a formula. See: Sonic Boom
>>338941361
I'm afraid to see Roll.
Still, this is better than Sonic Boom at least.
>>338941331
Yeah, that's probably it.
I'm trying not to pass judgement on this just yet. It's not passing itself off as the original Mega Man yet so I can accept it as another alternate universe.
>>338941648INTRODUCING AKI'S LOVE INTEREST, ROLL
>>338941258
>Show's gotten better though.
Has it really?
I gave a chance to the first two seasons but Ultimate Spidey pisses me off, the show treats it's audience like retards and aside from White Tiger being hot as fuck and this reaction pic I don't see anything worthwhile.
>>338938468
Whatever, I'm way past the point of caring anymore.
>>338941718

>Every other game for japan is localized to remove japanese stuff to not alienate murricans

I have to wonder why.
>>338941718
Like THAT will ever happen...
>>338941570
On the plus side, it might bring RVA out of retirement and we can enjoy watching him make fun of it.
>>338941718
Bite your tongue.
>>338941718
[Fapping intensifies]
I'm not gonna be hyper negative about it like /v/, if the show is good and the games that come with it are like BN where it's own thing and it's fun then no harm.
Ain't like this will replace the classic series
>>338941718
Well they did that in 2 of the spinoff series.
Legends and Battle Network.
>inb4 they don't count
>>338938829
Liar. I've never trusted Man of Action.
I just didn't expect him to have the Atari Logo on his head.
>>338941964
You know it to be true. She'll be the daughter of some OC female doctor that teases them about how cute they look together.
>>338941571
Nah, the few good game cartoons we've had are the ones that didn't give a flying shit about the original lore.
Games aren't plotted with a cartoon in mind, it's a waste of time to strongarm it;
What if she'sWily's?
>>338942234
meant for >>338942143
>>338940993
>Him
Man of Action is a talent pool. Not a person.
>>338942143
He's still a robot, and he's still made by Doctor Lifht (presumably), so it'd be silly to change that.
Although her name loses all meaning, now...
>>338942143
>She'll be the daughter of some OC female doctor
They can't possibly fuck up that badly right?
>>338942082
I'm not being hyper negative, I just think the design looks like shit.
The tron-lights on an already blue body look boring and the face looks like they copy pasted an anime mask on a western cartoon body, it doesn't work.
>>338942335
>Although her name loses all meaning, now...
Wouldn't be the first time.
>>338938468
Artstyle Literally looks like that awful Brazilian comic
>>338941718
>>338941331
>>338941697
Giving him the surname 'Light' isn't really going to help that, especially if Dr. Light's full name is still 'Thomas Light'. The surname is the better indication of where someone's family comes from, rather than their first name: giving him a Japanese first name but and English surname doesn't really make sense if you're trying to communicate he's Japanese to children. If that's what they wanted to do, they could have called him Rock Hikari or something,
>>338942537
No it doesn't. But it's on pair with that.
Example.: Pic.
>>338942326
I-I totally knew that. I don't need someone like you to try to correct me, b-bakaThanks for informing me
>>338938468
Lmao. Looks more like X than Rock.
>>338942673
It's okay to think of them as one person, anon. They may as well be.
>>338942653
At least the br art resembles the original designs
>>338942734
X is the better design anyways.
WHAT KINDA FRANCHISE YOU WANT SENPAI
>>338942367
Oh I wasn't defending the design.
However I was just giving it a benefit of a doubt. I never like the 2012 TMNT designs but the show was decent, same with Green Lantern: the Animated Series and I liked Megaman Zero despite me not liking the character designs
All I hope that it's good and that's it
>>338941571
Boom is better for having little to with the game.

Nintendo already has a plethora of IP's that are either under-utilized, mismanaged or completely dead: why add more to the crypt? Just because Sakurai handles third-party properties well, doesn't mean Nintendo themselves would manage them any better than they do their own franchises.
>>338944053
I wouldn't even care about that as long as they kept the basic integrity of the designs, which this series is doing worse than the Ruby-Spears series everyone loves to hate.
>>338943946
Oh god
>>338943947

>tfw this design actually looks good in comparison
>>338944117
If those properties were as popular as PAC man and Sonic then games would actually be made.
The dead Nintendo franchises are dead for a reason
>>338938468
That looks like a fucking Newgrounds "original the game" character from the 90s
>>338944291
Now tha you mention it, I'm getting some Rockman NEO vibes
>>338944239
Ruby-Spears Proto Man is handsome as fuck. At least he and Mega Man are recognizable and not some Tron knockoff.
Also there was already a comic series where Mega Man went to school. I don't know why they want to revisit this idea.
>>338944420
so it's hIP AND RELATABLE FOR THE KIDDOS
>>338940396
The only bad thing I see in that design is the face.
Can someone shop the original Megaman face onto that picture?
>School setting

Alt. universe bro, main series sonic is still alive and kicking.
>>338938468
>MM in school
Not the first time. That MM comic that folded within a year (not the Ian Flynn one) had that going on, too.There was also a drama CD in Japan about Wily and his parrot trying to keep Roll from reaching school, but that's neither here nor there
I'm keeping my expectations low. I just hope it's sufficiently quarantined from the franchise proper in case it blows.
Looks like a mock up they created for the article, you people are gullible retards.
>>338944580
It was so bad it was good
>>338944498

The Street Fighter cartoon was way worse.Shirtless Bison, though.
>>338944789

Cause kids can totally relate to being a combat android that goes to school and probably angrily shakes their hand at Gutsman's butt for taking the last snack in lunchline, amirite?
>>338944787
I was thinking that as well but I'm kinda cynical.
The concept itself does seem pretty stupid, though.
>>338944907
Yes.
>>338938468
I'll leave this here.
>>338944925
The only source for that image is the article itself. If they had made an official announcement with that image in the press packets you would find it everywhere, not just on one clickbait article.
>>338944907
If this actually happens I am SO done.
This is how you rework a design without killing the original look.

>>338945084
I'm expecting at least a few memes to sneak in to pander to the "older crowd"
And with 80+ RMs to work with, they'll probably sneak a few of them in to the school setting somehow. The question is if they'll also be disguised similar to "Aki", or if they're just going in to rampage at points.
>>338945574
The big problem at the moment is that his design looks flatter than Roll, on top of just being overly busy with all the neon lights. Guessing they wanted to avoid an anorexic version of Classic for this, but this redesign is really bad so far.
>>338945484

Could of been worse. Like they time when they took a piss on megaman and shoved the ugly western art into street fighter x tekken.

But kids today don't even know who Megaman is. When was the last new game released?
>>338945954
The bad megaman art character was meant to be a joke and it only pissed people off because Inafune leaked MML3.
>>338944907
I hope none of you loat your shit when MMBN was originally released.
>>338947668
No, because it was a SPINOFF
>>338945943
NO
WE CAN STOP THIS
IF THEY KNOW IT'S GOING TO FLOP HARD ENOUGH, THEY MIGHT HALT AND DELAY EVERYTHING
>>338939716
Why do they have to force a fucking school setting of all things? The games are about robots shooting each other to death.
>>338940953
As someone in thr field of watching cartoon shows get pitched, the stereotype isn't a lie, there's a group of old guys in suits with maybe some animators in the back everytime. The people pitching have to do their hardest to essentially translate what makes their show good to "guy with no knowledge of cartoons" speak. I bet you there were people that tried pitching an actual, genuinely more traditional looking, maybe good, megaman show but failed to sell it at the pitch.
>>338947895
School settings are the "in" thing right now.
are the robot masters still gonna be in the show?
i just want them to be more than generic goons with names!

>>338948056
There will be, but they'll take the Dreamwave approach and have none of the ones from the games
>>338948002
They could have adapted/made a series about MMBN or something if they wanted a school setting no matter what, but I guess thats a dead spin off series within a dead series.
I love Mega Man more than anyone on this entire board.
I backed that piece of shit MN9 with $100 because the concept looked bomb and we weren't getting any new Mega Man games
I watched FIVE (5) Mega Man titles get cancelled in recent years
He's no longer even allowed to make cameo appearances without Ryu shoving him out of the spotlight at every single turn
Now this. End my suffering.
>>338948264
Not really possible, because three different companies own the rights to BN, making it a nightmare to deal with.
Capcom has the right to the games, while some company has exclusive animation rights, on top of another having the rights to manga / comics.
