I guess we could be here all day with this, though. Nice as it would be to get a little something from X or Legends, I think there's ample material in the classic series to use.

I want more music from Legends so it gets more exposure.

If Nintendo continues to treat Mega Man well like this, I'd want them to make Legends 3 (it was going to be a 3DS exclusive anyway). I know it won't happen but I'd love it if it did.

I'm still shocked Capcom hasn't tried to sell the rights to Mega Man to someone else, considering the extreme distaste corporate has for the series.

Anyway, I think Classic should get the lion's share of the music, but I wouldn't mind a medley each from the rest of the branches of the series.

Please, elaborate. Anything specific, beyond the poor handling of Megaman's storyline?

[up][up] Well, think about it like this; If somebody makes it a success again(which I doubt would be hard), they don't get money for it since they no longer own it. They also would become more of a laughing stock since they couldn't save their own character. It's bad enough the creator of MM himself left too. But this is even worse.

So to prevent themselves from becoming a worse position, they won't let anyone have it. Pure theory, but this isn't unrealistic for a Company to act like that at all. It's more or less a Pride/Jealousy issue. And Businesses and Pride do go together(well, that and Greed, of course).

Capcom's top dogs have been deliberately ignoring the series after releasing Mega Man 10, because they believe it's "Too Japanese" for their apparent current aims of turning into Activision.

I sure said that!

I've paid precious little attention to Capcom beyond Dead Rising 3, Asura's Wrath, and Megamans 9 and 10, I had no idea. What, someone actually made a statement against the continuation of the Megaman franchise, or is this just speculation since they haven't done anything with it and the series creator himself quit?

[down]I respected them for making two new games in the old, beloved style honestly. That's not something you see very often. What, Splatterhouse, Metal Gear does references to older games, and maybe Call of Duty (but that's a different story due to the game reuse of mechanics). Making games like 9 and 10 in this age, when gamers are used to three-dimension standards, was ballsy.

Why not just end the series with an epic "Megaman IX and X" leading into the actual X series, Capcom? Why?

The problem facing capcom now is: Sakurai has treated the entire Mega Man series with more respect in one game than Capcom has since... what, Mega Man 10?

If Nintendo got the rights to Mega Man, do you think they would invite Keji Inafune back to head up the game?

I still generally detest Capcom for what they did to Legends 3 (among other things).

[up][up] Nintendo would receive even more love for me if they did that. It won't happen but a guy can dream.

[up]It depends on how much Capcom would ask for the rights to Megaman.

Because if Nintendo did, in fact, get the rights and get Keji Inafune, they would make approximately all of the money ever.

Capcom Unable to Recognize Four out of Five Characters in Mega Man’s Final Smash in Smash Bros.

Mega Man’s Final Smash attack in Super Smash Bros. 4 has been revealed showing four other iterations of Mega Man including Volnutt and X. Masahiro Sakurai revealed that when asking for permission to use the other versions, Capcom had no idea who he was asking for.

“When I asked for permission to use the other forms of Rockman, the employees were very confused as to what I was asking,” continued Sakurai, “They thought I was showing them fan art of Rockman. They had to bring in over 30 employees until someone recognized Volnutt as the fighting version of Rockman in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Then they said I could do whatever I wanted with these other Rockmans since they were clearly not using them.”

...Wow. Well, that pretty much explains why the Mega Man series gets little love from Capcom. They barely know jack about it. XD

^^ Lol, I was skeptical until I read through it and saw it was a joke. Pretty funny. evil grin

Anyway, when it comes to non-classic Megaman music, I hope we get one or more of the Battle Network battle themes. Maybe a tune like the Kirby Boss medley, with a bunch of them at once.

And another "hell yeah" for Flutter Vs Gesellschaft, too.

Sakurai has hinted that he might delay Smash Bros. 4 in order to sneak in an entire Mega Man game while he still has the opportunity.

[up]If Inafune went ninja to secretly pull the strings behind that game, I would not care about the delay.

Even as someone who doesn't hate Cap Com for their decisions, I can't help but be unsympathetic towards the many, many ways in which they have screwed things up for their reputation due to idiocy.

You want a recent example? Ultra Street Fighter 4- even when they finally did something I whole-heartily agree with (bringing Hugo, Rolento and Elena to the Street Fighter 4 series as DLC) they still managed to do several things that made me roll my eyes such as holding back information about the mysterious 5th character for about 10 months for hype only to reveal that she is a semi-clone (the reactions were definetly interesting) and freaking reusing stages from Street Fighter X Tekken and having the audacity to freaking call them new! -__-

So anyways, who would you want to be revealed next?
