Description
Just a quick Muro drawing but there's no better way to explain how I feel about CAPCOM at the moment, it's like they hate Mega Man.Mega Man Universe was cancelled, not really surprised about that one.
Mega Man Legends 3 was cancelled, citing "not enough interest", this hit hard given how much interaction there was and how close to a playable demo we got. This would have been the primary reason for me to get a 3DS. The odd bit is how many people were waiting for this one to come out, it was the Number 1 trending topic on Twitter in Japan a couple days ago, at the very least that should say something, but no "not enough interest". I don't know who's calling the shots at CAPCOM but all I'm saying is that they're hanging out at the intersection of Head and Ass.
No Mega Man or X in Ultimate MvC3, even though X was at the top of the CAPCOM-Unity polls they still said there "wasn't enough interest" and actually picked the 2nd and 3rd choices on the same damn polls, unbelievable.
CAPCOM sure doesn't seem to know when it has a good thing going, I thought for sure in 2009 that they had figured it out, DLC games and addons and a steady stream of interesting stuff, they had actual momentum, there was anticipation; what's CAPCOM going to release next? Now it's as if they've taken a step back 10 years. I mean, what's the point of buying Ultimate MvC3? To get a few extra characters? To see how they re-gimp the balance? New modes? All this stuff could have/should have been DLC but nope, they're stuck in the 90s still and these minor changes merit a whole new disc release. Yeah, no thanks.
I'm not even going to talk about the atrocious reboots of Bionic Commando or the degradation of the Resident Evil series from tense survival horror to boring/clunky FPS...
Anyway, enough ranting for me.

I know how you feel.
They said that Ace Attorney Investigations 2 wouldn't sell outside of Japan despite the first one being a best seller.
Capcom and Level 5 still refuse to give us Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--
I feel bad for little Megaman, despite having played none of his games.

This is why regional locking needs to go away, let the market decide whether or not a game is an international success, meanwhile pirates.
I feel a bit let down myself, I've been playing the series since I was 12 (Mega Man 2, gah!), I grew up with it through NES, SNES, GameCube and 2 Playstations... I was so happy with 9 and 10, and then this inexplicable drought of games.
I feel let down that another big anniversary for Mega Man is coming up and Capcom has nothing to show, again.
Ah well, them's the brakes I guess

Meanwhile, at Capcom...
CEO: I say we ignore our mascot, Mega Man, and focus on Resident Evil until it burns to death!
Sensible person: Resident Evil is dead; let's go back to Mega Man.
CEO: NO! You're fired!

Thanks..... would be really meta if Wreck it Raplh had reboot, or even Tron, in the movie, won't it?
Wait, there was a rough draft? Wait... there was going to be a CGI WIly? Most of the time, they stick with the 8bit graphics, or anime like drawings or cut-scenes.

That would be cool, for bonus points there were a couple Tron games (also owned by Disney) so I'd be surprised if they didn't show!
Yep, check it out: [link]
I think that may have been why they pulled him, the current conspiracy theory rolling around is that Capcom doesn't have an "official" 3D model of Wily so, they didn't want to rile people up.
I don't know if I buy it, but it sounds reasonable, pretty sad though. Got excited that anything Mega Man would show up in a movie like this.

I sympathize with this. Because I two am a longtime Megaman fan who is extremely dissapointed and upset with Capcom's inexcusable actions. It's bad enough that they cancelled those two games that were in production. And its even worse that they blatantly left Megaman out of both versions of MvC3 despite how many fans have pleaded for him to be added into the game. And the thing is Capcom is aware of their reputation. But they just don't give a shit. They don't care if a game they made is only 40% or 50% complete. They don't care about what the fans want. And they sure as hell don't care about Megaman, which is one of the series that made them a big name in the gaming buisness. And you want to know what's even worse? Some people buy Capcom's lame excuses, and they'll say anything to justify their piss lack of loyalty to the fans. But there is no excuse for their disloyalty. In the last few years I've been keeping track of things, Capcom has shown that they only care about one thing; money. That's it. And anybody who denies this is only joking themselves.

For me the saddest part is that it sounds like they are going to miss Mega Man's 25th birthday this year, I mean they'll do some stuff but there won't be any new game or anything.
I'm actually really surprised they're making noise about Street Fighter, 'cause honestly I remember "Fighting Street" when it came out in the arcade and that sucked big time heh, it wasn't until SFII that things got interesting.
But that's their big franchise I guess...

If you ask me, Capcom doesn't really care about the 25th anniversary of the franchise. To them, Megaman doesn't exist anymore, and is just a relic of the past. And even though there are still fans out there (besides myself) who value the franchise, Capcom really doesn't give a shit about it anymore. And what really bothers me is that they've thrown so much potential to waste. Think about all the things that could have been besides newer and better games; anime cartoons, (not counting the American cartoon or the OVAs) theatrical films, and lots more. All that potential thrown away all because of their indifference and their piss lack of loyalty to the fans. I guess you're right; all they care about is Street Fighter. Don't get me wrong, I love Street Fighter, but that's all they care about when there are other franchises that deserve a share in the spotlight as well. And besides Megaman (which is one of them), there's Dark Stalkers, Strider, Bionic Commando, Resident Evil, etc. But it seems that Capcom chooses which franchises they wish to acknowledge and which ones they'd rather ignore. And they sure have sunken to a new low with their actions. And that is inexcusable. In fact, no words can describe how disghusted and dissapointed I am...

Given that this is Mega Man's 25th birthday this year Capcom sure has dropped the ball.

Yes, CAPCOM is trying to kill your right to resell your property after you buy it and consequently they are getting SPANKED by the media and the market.
The irony is of course it will probably encourage piracy more than any other game release.
