So Megaman is finally 25 years old and being the fan that I am (though in a disposition with Capcom's direction) I figured share all things Megaman in celebration!

To get things started off check out this animation from Shane Newville who is also currently Monty Oum's apprentice.

I'm pretty sure we can add these.

Fun Fact: In Megaman X, you can obtain the Hadouken ability through a very secretive method. Ah how games used to work with finding secrets.

Wonder where and when Capcom just threw their hands up to say lets ruin our company.

Shortly before they thought a DMC reboot was a good idea.

I'm in defense for the new DmC actually. They could have called DMC3 just DMC: Dante's Awakening, it totally messed up the order of the games. I'll never know whether or not Dante came back from Hell and see more of Sparda.

Exactly the moment they fliped off their fans by cancelling megaman legends three.

Fucking this. The instant I heard the news about MML3 I knew there was gonna be a tonuva fuck up.

I'm not even joking. The backlash from the fans both of the legends series and all of the other series was of legendary proportions, and it was after all of that that Capcom starting adopting this stance of "oh yeah? well it's our fucking character, look at what other things that you won't like we can do with it".

It seems today's companies would rather set fire to themselves before fucking admitting they were wrong and apologizing.

And here I thought that Megaman was a pun for the fans based on MM1's US boxart

I always found that box art hilarious. He carries an actual gun!

It was, but that doesn't mean they didn't fuck with the fans further by doing it. Look it up.

Also, fuck all the SF rehashes. And Mega Man will be remembered.

Tears were shed that day.

Mine included.

Nowadays, similar features are only available by buying it via DLC.

In short:

To fans:
Megaman > Street Fighter

To company:
Megaman < Street Fighter

Maybe we should change the name of this post from "Megaman 25th Anniversary" to "What the Hell is Wrong With Capcom".



Yes, I remember that you could kill a boss in one hit with it too. While we're talking about fun facts about Megaman, I thought I'd share this one with everyone. Zero (his character design) was going to be the new design for Megaman in Megaman x. But Capcom thought the new look was to drastic, and feared that it would up set the fans. So they created X, and made him look more like the traditional Megaman.

It was more than that actually. They did intend for Zero to be the new Megaman, but rather than scrap the character in favor of keeping a similar model to the old games, they made Zero into a character that the player would want to be. As the game progresses, Megaman will look more and more like Zero with each boss kill.

also i liked that in mmx3 you can get zero's Z-Saber. In jr. high everyone was shitting their pants when you could use it with X in mmx6 when he could use it before.

You could also get the beam sword in Megaman Legends 2, but it was hard to get.

And in megaman legends 1 :|

Although necro-threading is normally discouraged, I'm bringing this thread back in the spotlight to inform you guys that Mega Man Online has been cancelled. Which means that the three planned games (MMLegends 3, MMOnline, MMUniverse) are all CANCELLED. So much for a 25th Anniversary.

So are you guys interested in a new Mega Man title anymore? The newest one I remember is Street Fighter X Meg Man which is the free game.

I've actually played MMxSF and it's pretty cool. Just HOPE Capcom will release a new Megaman game.

If capcom learned to shut the fucking fuck up before announcing game titles when before they fucking make them things like this would not fucking happen.
Seriously whoever handles capcom's PR should have his dick cut off and jammed in his anus, all of this is TERRIBLE for them in the eyes of consumers and fans.
