Megaman deserves better - Capcom is sleeping on a goldmine
This is an emotional angry rant, sorry if my opinion won't be appreciated.
I've been a fan of the series since I was a little child and man, I can't believe Capcom is still sleeping on a franchise that could potentially make billions.
Mega Man was once one of Capcom’s biggest names, right up there with Street Fighter and Resident Evil. Mega Man X brought a whole new level of action, Mega Man Zero had an incredible story, and Legends gave us a 3D world full of personality. But now? The series has been left to rot with only the occasional collection release.
Meanwhile, they keep churning out Resident Evil remakes and new Street Fighter games. Don’t get me wrong, I love those franchises, but why is Mega Man getting left behind?
The thing is, the company doesn't understand how combining modern graphics and gameplay mechanics could make Megaman games INSANE.
Just imagine Mega Man X or Zero with Unreal Engine next-gen graphics, fluid combat, and a deep story. Something like Devil May Cry-style action mixed with Nier: Automata’s movement and visuals with deep storytelling that gives Zero and X the treatment they deserve, it would be ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Even the classic Mega Man formula could be reimagined with stunning 2D or 2.5D visuals like Metroid Dread.
Capcom is literally sitting on a goldmine, and they’re doing NOTHING with it! I'm shocked that they are so blind to this potentially infinite ocean of opportunities, am I crazy for thinking it? I literally keep dreaming of this because it's honestly such a great idea.
I'm so curious to know your thoughts and honestly, if some conversation gets going I would like to see someone at Capcom checking out this post.
