eww 2.5d

Which console is this one exclusive to.

nice

Kind of wish they kept the 8-bit style of 9 and 10. That just looks like Mighty No 9 with a Mega Man skin.

Still I will probably get it.

Last 5 seconds of the video:

PS4
XBox One
Switch
Steam

Cool? I can't decide if I'm happy or disappointed that they didn't go with the 8-bit style again. I mean, eight games is already more than enough to be using that same style, but 9 and 10 convinced me that it's just right.

Made me think of the PSP game
---

I thought they already made this game

Yeah I wish they kept the 8-bit style, too. But Ill pick this up any way.
---

i'll be interested in it. still need to play mega man 7 and 8. the only ones of the classic megaman series I haven't played. well I played 7 but didn't get far. loved how it looked but it wasn't my game so I didn't get to finish.
---

I'm not really a big fan of Megaman games but good for those people who are.
I thought they would make a Megaman game with X graphics before going 2.5 though.
---

Going to withhold judgment. Can't be worse than Mighty No. 9 though.
---

In before cancellation.

eww 2.5d

What's wrong with 2.5d?
---

The weirdest thing to me is the grunts. They aren't terrible, but aren't at all necessary either. And they sound kind of... too manly? Isn't Mega Man supposed to be a boy? Not that I want boyish grunts either.

This is why I like the 8-bit style. I've secretly always hated the idea of Mega Man being a little boy, and his sprite in the 8-bit games is vague enough I can pretend he isn't. The more realistically they try to portray him, the worse it tends to be IMO

Thankfully, they're not using the 8 bit graphics

thats the part I actually like. never cared for his 8 bit sprite. I love everything else about the 8 bit games though. like I loved how he looked in 7. to be honest though i'll have to watch the video again but I didn't hear this so i'm happy, that they didn't add in metallic clanking every time he takes a step like megaman x maverick hunters on the psp did.

Well, I think you're definitely in the minority with that opinion. I'd go as far as to say it might be the most popular sprite in video game history.

Of course, my idea that he generally doesn't look good outside of 8-bit is also probably a minority opinion.

WHERE THE FUCK IS LEGENDS 3

EVEN A REMASTER OF 1 AND 2 WOULD BE NICE

OR ANOTHER X THAT JUST IGNORES EVERYTHING AFTER 5

gosh darn it to heck

not saying im not in the minority on that. its the eyes mostly. something about the eyes of the 8 bit sprite bug me. I feel like his helmet should be the more prominent thing as far as his head goes. also i'd argue marios sprite is the most popular. I see a lot more merchandise with it on it. which is odd since that particular sprite was actually only in one (two if you count lost levels) game

Yeah I don't think the graphics will ever come close to what was done before
the graphics even in the SNES games were amazing and animated

3d makes everything fake looking but is extremely easy to animate
---

i think you quoted the wrong person
---

I was just saying that x4,x5 were all hand drawn

the trailer doesn't look bad though i see dynamic shadows
---

I'd say Mario's sprite is more iconic and well-known, but I don't know if that means it's more popular. People make variations of the MM sprite for their websites and YouTube channels. It's also appeared predominantly in eight games spanning more than 20 years. The MM sprite is so good because it was highly detailed from the start and fits into the 8-bit games' art style so well, even as it became more detailed over the years. The SMB sprite served its purpose, but they obviously needed to evolve it for later games.

eh i've gotten into these "whats more popular vs iconic" debates, and i'm just going to bow out of this because it never goes anywhere lol. I know more people prefer the 8 bit megaman sprite over anything newer, but I was just stating my opinion i'm not one of those. either way to me it doesn't matter, as long as the gameplay is solid. I mean I still loved 9 and 10 despite not being overly fond of the 8 bit sprite. and if this one is shitty i'm not going to let the prettier graphics sway me.

Well, I'll be getting that day 1 I'm sure.

No. Like everything else 2.5d can be ugly when it's done wrong.

Unless you think something like this is ugly.

If that's the case you're just wrong.

Doubtful it'll be actually bad. They don't care much about Megaman much (or do they??) but the new MM8-10 games were very solid.

glad it is not another 8 bit, playing megaman 9 so far from legacy collection is a bit of a chore instead of fun

They honestly haven't messed up any of the main series games. You could argue they are a bit stagnant, but it is kind of the same thing as Mario games, they know what works and don't mess with it that much. They might add a new upgrade here or there but the core game is still what it has always been.

The X series on the other hand...

I mean, that formula is bad ass and works. Kill 8 Bosses then fight final boss. Simple and fun

It's funny you say that because the x series is probably what Megaman mainline would be if you don't want it to be "stagnant"

I'm gonna miss the 8-bit sprites but I'm still hyped. Monster Hunter World and now this? Don't let me down, Capcom!

screw the 8bit style arv loves this shit

"eww 2.5d" & "2.5d is ugly"

2.5D = Awesomeness.

I'm so excited for Mega Man 11 (and Legacy Collections 1 & 2 and X Collection on Switch!). I'm kind of glad they didn't the 8-bit style graphics again and went with more modern-styled graphics since 8-bit has been overdone (especially with MM9 & 10) and the gameplay and physics still remain as close to the original gameplay. As for story, I hope the game completes the gap between the classic and X series and introduces Zero and I would like to see what happens to Mega Man at the end of his era that leads up to the X series. If not this game, then maybe Mega Man 12.

I'm also happy that Legacy Collections 1 & 2 and a Mega Man X Collection (X1-X8) are coming to current-gen platforms including the Nintendo Switch (but excluding Wii U). I was sad that the Legacy Collections didn't come to Switch earlier but I'm happy they are still at least coming. I may have a PS4 and PC, but I'd much rather get all of these Mega Man games for the Nintendo Switch since Nintendo always felt a home to Mega Man (it's where Mega Man began) and because I'd love to play the Mega Man games anywhere.
---

Only downside is I was hoping it'd be on the 3DS as well since I like having them on handhelds (no, the Switch doesn't really count) and I haven't got around to getting a console from this gen yet.

Clearly fans didn't want it badly enough, because they didn't kidnap Capcom employees' relatives and hold them hostage which is the only thing that comes to mind when Capcom was complaining about lackluster fan response.

Face it, the 3DS will be dead soon. Not much point in Nintendo continuing to support it now that they have the Switch, though I agree it is better at being portable.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see Capcom finally do something with Mega Man, but I still think the style is a bit on the ugly side.

its a tad more than that. 8 bosses then a gauntlet of like 3 or 4 stages back to back all with their own bosses. and possibly even a boss rush right before the final boss.

They are probably waiting for a Switch Mini (Basically a Switch the size of the 3DS) before they completely kill it off. At that point, the merging of their handheld and home console markets will be complete.
---

If they're going to make a 3DS-sized Switch, that sounds like something several years away. If that is in their plans, I doubt it would affect what they're doing with the 3DS, seeing as 3DS titles have been trickling in slowly lately. Most of them were probably already in development before the Switch came out.

2.5d only works when the 2D elements are 90degrees flush to the 3D elements... or whatever, otherwise it's annoyingly difficult to platform.

If the Switch is anything like most of their handhelds, then I would say it is more likely to come out next year, in fact they might announce it at the Nintendo Direct around E3. They really only have to reduce the size by half which isn't that much of a technical feat, especially for a console that is already over 6 months old.

Is that not how this is? I think I know what you're trying to say, but it doesn't really look like much of an issue in the trailer, so maybe I don't know.

Mighty No. 9, on the other hand, while I haven't played it, always looked too "angled" to me.
