Capcom’s had a big year so far, due in large part to the releases of Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter VI. Meanwhile, the company has Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice Trilogy releasing early next year. Of course, Capcom is more than just those 3 franchises, and that topic was brought up in a recent Q&A with investors and shareholders.
Capcom was asked about future plans for Monster Hunter, Toraware No Palm, Sengoku Basara, and Onimusha. In response, Capcom says that “we are carrying out discussions regarding the future expansion of these titles so they can be enjoyed by a wide audience”. This isn’t surprising in regards to Monster Hunter, but this may be interesting for fans of Toraware No Palm, Sengoku Basara, and Onimusha.
But that’s not all. Mega Man was also mentioned in a couple of questions. One question was about future plans for the IP. Capcom responded by saying that “Mega Man is one of Capcom’s historic IPs and is loved by fans, and as such we want to take care in how we develop the series. We are considering how to approach the production of new entries in the series, which requires numerous factors, including the development of a solid concept, ideas and gameplay, et cetera”.
The other Mega Man related question was about ports and collections of Mega Man titles that had been previously released. In response, all Capcom said about the matter is that they are “considering our approach to ports of past entries titles, which includes addressing technical issues”.
I am sure that we’re going to get ports of Star Force and Legends at some point, but as for a new mega Man entry…
I will believe it when I see it
Megaman Legends 3 Change the main Red Robot Name to Proto. Capcom quit playing with our emotions 😭
Yeah the f!@# right, Capcom ain’t gonna doing a damn thing but keep bsing everyone about those Ips.
It would have cost them nearly nothing to release a complete Onimusha collection in the same way they spat out collections of their other even less popular games but no they decided to only release the first Onimusha and just abandoned any idea of releasing the rest.
Any hopes of future Onimusha games are as dead as any hope of them making a new BoF or Darkstalkers, they ruined Monster Hunter with that last crappy expansion and nonstop monetization of useless crap that should have and use to be in game unlocks, they got one last chance from me with Dragon’s Dogna 2 and if they screw that up aswell I’m boycotting them just like I’ve done with all the other triple A companies.
This company constantly ignore their fan base and tbh I’ve had enough of it, at this point I honestly could care less if Capcom goes out of business or not, they have become irrelevant imo
Have you considered therapy?
Please less games with feudal japan setting I don’t like those, there are so many already.
“Capcom interested in bringing back Mega Man” Well I hope so. Seriously. If I had it my way, each mainline series except maybe the Zero series would have a new title.
Classic: Have 5 of the robot masters be Water Man, Hot Woman, Earth Man, Ninja Woman, and Thunder Man, and have the other 3 be decided via a robot master creation contest.
X: Play as X, Zero, and Alia. Not only would there be four Light capsules for X, but there would also be four Wily capsules for Zero. They don’t have to be new armors. They could be the unlockable hyper modes in command mission or their dive armors. Once you rescue at least 100 reploids, Axl gets repaired and becomes playable. And once you’ve unlocked Axl and used any four capsules, you can unlock Axl’s upgraded form whether it’s White Axl or Dive armor Axl. Also, two of the mavericks would be Useless Unicorn who is female and Oil Possum.
Legends: Get Volnutt off the moon and have Barret gain the title of Mega Man Bullet.
Battle Network: Giving Crash Man a net navi counterpart would be my first priority.
ZX: An interquel for ZX and Advent where you play as Prairie who mega merges with Model C which has the memories of Ciel.
Star Force: Have Zack em wave change with Pedia and have the new noise changes in one version be the satellite admins from 1 as well as Harp/Lyra and Pedia, and have the noise changes in the other version be the tribes in 2 as well as pirate and angel.
Zero: If I had to make a new Zero title, you would start out playing as X who controls the body of Copy X. You collect Zero parts by defeating the first three of the new bosses known as lasagnas. Once you collect all three Zero parts, X rebuilds Zero, X goes bye bye, and you play as Zero for the rest of the game.
And don’t get me started on the crossovers with Mario.
I hope Megaman StarForce4/Legacy Collection and Megaman legends3 can be true….
Im sure they will ‘remake’ the entire Megaman series before we get a new one.
Honestly, I would love Breath of Fire to make a comeback more than anything else. I loved that series and it really has a lot of potentially, especially given the massive JRPG resurgeance we’re seeing.
