One of my first articles that I wrote for The Geek Generation is a rant that sadly is still pretty relevant today. Granted, it was great to see
Street Fighter x Mega Man but then nothing else has emerged other than
Mega Man being included in Super Smash Bros. 4. I've got nothing against games with massive development times or hiatuses, but it's been ages since a new Mega Man title of any series to even be announced. Take a look at my thoughts and see if you agree with me.
Everyone can recognize Mega Man. He’s the arm cannon-wielding robot otherwise known as the “Blue Bomber”. Next to characters like Mario and Sonic, Mega Man is certainly a famous and successful character spanning tons of adventure games, fighting games, and many RPGs over the past 25 years. With 7 different Mega Man characters with various timelines, you would think that Capcom has endless options for making new Mega Man games. And yet, three – count them, three – Mega Man projects in the past 2 years have been scrapped and the only game in production is Mega Man Xover (pronounced Cross-over) for the iOS; a freakin’ cellphone game! So let’s look at what Capcom felt wasn’t good enough to give the fans despite their incessant demands for them.
