isn't Capcom about to announce their first Facebook game? Mabye it will be this? a 2d flash online game. It could be...
God i hope not. I mean, the 2d flash style would go very well with the old school megaman style, and they could make it a sidescrolling shooter MMO (like someone mentioned, Maple Story and other similar games). So that could be fun, i just hope its done seperately from Facebook.
I agree, the flash would be good. At the same time it would be more safe, with that franchise, then to make a BIG MMO and the 2d style seems to be what most people want. I guess we will see. I am for it as an MMO as long as it is more sanbox. If you think about it Mega Man would be more suited to be a sandbox MMO than a themepark. Wonder if the bosses would get to repetitive though....I mean all robot bosses might grow tiresome and how many _____-man enemies will they make up? Condom-Man, I-Park-You-Man, etc...
wow, the only time I ever heard of mega man was on southpark and I thought it was a joke. And yet, here it is!
Not sure how you can be 43, in the US, and not have heard about MM. The high period for the franchise was your teen years. Not sure how they can make this an MMO. Multiplayer, online... sure but not massive.
Sorry to not share the enthusiasm guyz, lll i can see is "champions online rehash" online, while its universe allow hundreds of <inser name>man robots i can only see it poorly done, adn nothing more than shooting/slashing with lazer gunz our lightsaber, unless they make it fluffy like in megaman legends =X
now: GW2 (11 80s). Dark Souls 2. future: Mount&Blade 2 BannerLord. "Bro, do your even fractal?" Recommends: Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, Mount&Blade: Warband, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
That's for me sounds like de Saint Seiya's mmorpg and both never will come. And I really cant see how megaman can turn into a mmo. lol Anyway, if it work, fine, will be great.
Gah. I hated Mega-Man with a passion. Plink plink plink plink pew pew plink plink plink pew plink pew pew. I'd rather play Dig-Dug online.
EDIT: Which get's me to thinking, how long is it going to be before we see Super-Mario World Online? Nintendo has never been a company to miss out on the chance to sell out for a few bucks. I forsee a Super Mario themed MMO being announced by 2012 and developed exclusively for the Wii platform. It'll be a smash hit due to its unique interface and features and its success will lead to a general retooling of the console industry with game systems produced by Sony and Microsoft being designed to be less sophisticated and more user interactive.
Thus the Wii will have done to the console industry what WoW did to MMOs.
As an RPG I think it can work, not in the sense where everyone is MegaMan and stealing each other's cool weapons, but more as a robot universe. Perhaps you are a robot (or scientist that builds/designs robots) which lead you to further develop and tweak certain things like your main weapon (or other robots) and perhaps you can specialize in a specific type of weapon.
Imagine if everyone wasn't Mega Man but was more like the 100s of bosses he ends up fighting and stealing their powers and then imagine if you can pick your own side and develop how strong your weapon is. That's what I'm thinking. Could totally work and its a type of setting that needs more attention IMO. Could be a first (or second) step in some type of mecha-resembling genre.
Mega Man online sounds fun. But i am still waiting for .hack online!!!!
Oh they already had .hack online in Japan and it ended like within a year or something.
You had one .hack mmo.
It was .hack//Fragment on PS2, which was only in Japan and shut down within a year, lasted from November 2005 to November 2006.
-Letting Derek Smart work on your game is like letting Osama bin Laden work in the White House. Something will burn.- -And on the 8th day, man created God.-
Okay, this is something new. As much as I would love to see a Mega Man legends 2 MMO, you know its going to be some side scrolling grindathon crap. Sigh.
Of all the IPs Capcom owns why did they pick MegaMan? How many Man can there be before all the good ones are taken. Probably all the good ones are already taken from the 20 games they made of MegaMan in the 80s and 90s.

There is so much fail in this idea, I don't even know where to begin...
