[Metal]

Spoiler: Megaman 6 cards

The original sources of these aren't around anymore, but I figured I'd share em' here anyway, since I just checked up on Pinterest and saw them among my reommendations, still some of my favorite Star Force fan art.

lol I had no idea there was a kaizo mega man x4 romhack

I've listened to most of the Mega Man 9 arranged sound track but for some reason I've always neglected to listen to this one. It's really good I wish I would've listen to it sooner.

Before this blows up, a little background:

That artwork appears in Mega Man 8's Museum in Legacy Collection 2. However, it's NOT from Mega Man 8. At all. The art is too new and it was drawn by Yuji Ishihara, character designer on MMBN, MML and MMSF. In addition to the comments mentioned in the OP, this is a digital piece whereas MM8's concept art is all pencil and ink. It's indeed new.

The theory is, whoever put together the museum saw this - the giant hand - mistakenly believed it was Duo, and put it into MM8's museum. Fans believe this comes from an unrelated project currently in production.

So apparently some new concept art got leaked via Legacy Collection 2.
I wonder what this means??????
Could this be for a new Mega Man project? Could Mega Man finally get a proper new game?
Or could this just be art for a cancelled project? Because it could definitely be.
I'm both very interested and optimistic in seeing what this means.
However
Considering Capcom's infamously shaky record with the series, I'm gonna keep my expectations grounded and low for this one.

 

[Magma]

I wonder if it was a cancelled project that never even saw the light of day from when Capcom was cancelling Mega Man projects like crazy.

The Smash Bros Mega Man design isn't particularly unique as the Megamix design also looks quite a bit like that.

 

[warelander]

That is quite curious indeed, it's hard to say if it means something is coming, but Capcom Japan did hold a survey on whether or not people would be interested in a new Mega Man title, so who knows.

 

[Magma]

Unless the context is that this poll was like right after MM10 was released that sounds like such a silly poll to make.

 

[warelander]

Actually the survey was posted in March of last year, so not terribly long ago, it's over and gone now, but here's the post where I learned of it.

 

[Magma]

Still pretty silly I mean, do they really expect a sizeable portion of people to say they don't want any more Mega Man with especially how hard Capcom's dropped the ball with the series lately?

Well then again, maybe people wouldn't want more Mega Man due to Capcom's poor handling...

 

[warelander]

I dunno what to tell yah, Capcom just works in weird ways, I guess.

 

[Metal]

I want bondman to come back, apparently he was suppose to appear in the psp game MMPU but instead Inafune made two new robot masters in place of Bondman.

 

[Magma]

That Inafune always only looks out for himself

So yeah, that's something to keep an eye out for, I'll see if I can watch it myself.

 

[The 3rd Wario Brother]

Didn't think they would give him any more recognition so this is surprising to me. Now i'm hyped-up for the anniversary.

 

[Magma]

I hope we get a lazy Mega Man Anniversary Collection rerelease a la a certain other anniversary.

 

[warelander]

A short trailer that shows X's Command Mission armor in action:

Looks pretty nice, but his scarf not being there is kinda lame.

 

[warelander]

AAAAAAAAAND nothing of interest came out of the TGS Meguh Mayuhn Anniversary stream, granted I knew better then to get my hopes up, but still, I can't blame anyone who's let down by it, especially after the 30th Anniversary page came with this curious game tab and the reveal of this new Roll design, even if it was for merchandising.

 

[TB100]

This is the best thing to sum up the overall stream

Seriously all we literally got was merchandise and a showcase of the two legacy collections
That's pretty fucking lame If I say so myself...

Though despite all that I wouldn't consider Mega Man dead like others have been saying
Considering we're getting a new cartoon next year.

And we got these new character designs as well.

While we don't exactly know Capcom's future plans with Mega Man, maybe there could be a possible light in this gloomy darkness.
