During Capcom's 44th general shareholder meeting, shareholders brought up inquiries regarding the Mega Man franchise. One shareholder asked about the overall future plans, while another expressed curiosity about potential ports and collections:


Q: Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection was released in April and has surpassed 1 million units in sales, contributing to existing IP utilization and user expansion. What are your plans for the Mega Man series?

A: Including Mega Man 11, the latest entry in the franchise, Mega Man is one of Capcom�s historic IPs and is loved by fans, and as such we want to take care in how we develop the series. We are considering how to approach the production of new entries in the series, which requires numerous factors, including the development of a solid concept, ideas and gameplay, etc.

Q: Tell me your plans for new ports or collections in the Mega Man series.

A: We are considering our approach to ports of past entries titles, which includes addressing technical issues.


Obviously new games would be great, but I hope they find a way to put out Mega Man X Command Mission again

Those are such non-answers though...

They'd probably say the same thing if a shareholder asked if they were thinking about making a new Zack& Wiki game

it is very funny to see shareholders ask Capcom to their face "why the fuck are you sitting on this huge legacy IP?" and I'm sure they'll put out something but given how middling MM11 was I'm not enthused

revive battle network you cowards

Those just seem like long ways of saying nothing is in development.

Eff man, I'd take Mega Man Soccer 2 at this point.
How cool would that be?

I'd like a game based on the manga where Mega Man is a dentist.

Can't they just keep pumping out games like Mega Man 9 and 10? There is no way those can be that expensive or time consuming for a major company, especially when indie developers are making great platformers all the time.

9 and 10 were two of the best in the entire franchise too...

There's nothing in the topic title that says they're making a new game though. It seemed pretty clear to me XD

Megan Man's OF series has eleven games. Six were on the NES. Now we have to beg for a game every other generation. It can be done faster than it is and MM11 just because their best-selling MM OG game.

Let us have more than we're getting. I know it's not easy but it's plenty possible.

Or buy the rights to and hire the developers of Mega Man Maker. Worked well enough for Sonic Mania.

Or you know what, Mega Man Soccer 2 would be rad too, fun ridiculous idea there.

Maybe, just maybeless is more. Remember when they put out Castlevania handheld games every year and they burned it out?

And then youve got Nintendo who basically put out 1 game for their major franchises each generation.

A new Mega Man game should be an EVENT. But its not. I barely even registered MM11. Granted, Im not a big fan of the franchise but still.

3D CV games were every few years and weren't huge despite that.

MM has literally always been a yearly franchise.

Lol, I love Metroidvanias as much as anyone and even I was getting a bit worn out by the end. CotM, HoD, AoS, DoS, PoRam I missing any?

Order of Ecclesia but that one wasn't really a Metroidvania. Also all the Lords of Shadows handheld games but nobody cares about those and I forget if they even came out around the same time.

There was only one handheld LoS and it was a few years later. OoE was 2008, Mirror of Fate 2013.

I remember a video once in which Mega Man is described as "a popular video game series nobody cares about." It about sums up Capcom's approach.

No Mega Man game has ever sold more than 2 million copies. Pretty astonishing for something with as many games as Mega Man!
