RUMOR: Nintendo Dream To Reveal "Secret" Rockman Project

According to several 2ch users, the latest issue of Nintendo Dream promises to unveil a "secret" Rockman project in its February issue.

Pictured is the supposed scan of the vague announcement; no real indication if the project concerns a game or something else.

I'll be following this one closely, though don't expect to hear anything concrete until the February issue's debut.

  1. :O!!!!! Scramble battle? Please? :'(

    Anything with EXE is great! I hope that was a related picture and not just a random rockman pic... :\

  2. Picture is related, its a scan of the "announcement."

  3. Oh good. ^_^ Can't wait!

  4. Oh wait, no, I meant I hope the picture in the magazine wasn't a random one THEY picked. I knew that you got it from the scan.

  5. Yes, prays that Trigger and Ryuusei will be in this game if that's what it is.

  6. Huh... Why is it that Trigger is the only Mega Man missing? Let's hope it's something really awesome, and not something that's really lame...

  7. Could it be that Rockman Scramble Battle fighting game that was thought to be canceled?

  8. My guess is that this could be the Castlevania Judgment of the Mega Man franchise, with characters from all the games and subseries fighting it out.

  9. Now that's interesting. My money's on either a crossover or a new series, if that's what they're using to represent it.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hmm, either a crossover, or perhaps a new X game, since X is included in the pic (and there's been releases for the other 3, albeit a cellphone game for EXE). My question, though...

    If it IS an X game... is it X9, or Elf Wars Saga 1?

  12. PLEEEEEEEASE a Rockman fighting game, I need something to remove that hole in my heart from Megaman not being in Brawl.

    Man I love Megaman, Megaman X and Megaman EXE. I hope this will be good. :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh please not a fighting game. Give us a real mm game! Id live with any next gen stuff just as it is with any of the reall mm series like mm, x or legends!

    ReplyDelete
  14. So EXE and RnR aren't "real" MM series? :P Gimme a break. The fact that they exist and are made by Capcom says that they are real MM series.

    That's like me saying X isn't a real MM game because I don't like it (I do, though) or that Legends isn't a real one because it's 3D!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Interesting. The pic leads me to believe a possible crossover with all Rockman series. It would be a humorous moment and epic all at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Does anyone know where the classic Rock art is from? I know that X is taken from the X8 title screen, Rockman.EXE uses the boxart from EXE 3 (Original, not Black), and Subaru from an RnR2 Promo pic.

    Anyways, even if this turns out fake, I like the scan. =]

  17. Here we go, big random prediction here:


    Rockman fighting game using the Power Stone engine

    Think about how awesome that would be!

    ReplyDelete
  18. *pumps fists for Scramble Battle*

    Oh please, please be real and please, please be the game that makes up for MegaMan's absence in Brawl. A multi-series MegaMan only fighting game would be a dream come true. And hey, if it's for the Wii that would be even better. ^_^ Brawl quality graphix and all.

    Of course, I could be getting my hopes up for nothing but as someone who's been having second thoughts about MegaMan as a series lately, it couldn't hurt to have one-last optimistic outcry. Haha.

  19. omg... I want to believe... ;_;

    plz, Rockman Scramble Battle or some type of cross-over...

    also, I want to see Tron Bonne in there <3


    MegaMan using the Smash bros engine, fuck yeah!!, shit would be cash

    ReplyDelete
  20. Honestly, I know NOTHING about it. This is no doubt a big Japan only thing at the moment and thus in the development stage IN JAPAN. If I hear ANYTHING, I will let you know.

  21. I wonder about people asking for Rockman fighting games... of kicks and punches? Come on, we have two versions of Rockman Power Fighters, plus Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2! More? :|

    I'd like a new Rockman. That's what the pic suggests.

    ReplyDelete
  22. WOOHOO! The Shadow!

    Maybe, JUST MAYBE, this is DASH 3! Since Trigger isn't in the picture, maybe there's art of him from the new game on another page or something! ...Of course, Inafune-san has said that they don't have the funds to make DASH 3, but still...

    Either way, it's secret, so it isn't going to be SSR 4 or something equally obivous. I notice that Zero isn't in that lineup, either... Elf Wars, maybe? ZX3? Scramble Battle would be sweet, too. I still play Megaman X: Rush to Battle all the time on my PC. ^_^

  23. I've been considering to sell my wii for a while now

    I guess I have to wait until feb before deciding to sell it lol

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hmmm...

    If it DOES turn out to be the "Scramble Battle", I hope it's good.

    Maybe it won't have to be a "fighting game" per say, though.

    After all, Rockman Trigger and Roll are already in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (one more week until the import is in my hands! ^_^), so ideally, this game would have to be something quite different, beyond being just about Rockman characters.

  25. I doubt about anything with exe because they did mentioned about no more exe related if I understand correct.

    I can't wait for anything.. Just no EXE, please!

    ReplyDelete
  26. """I still play Megaman X: Rush to Battle all the time on my PC.""

    That is mod pc.. I dont like mod pc like this game. I prefer Japan of Capcom own development. They are better than mod pc game. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Now this is interesting, I pray for X9 for the next gen console cause it's certainly one of my fav series.
    The only thing that bugs me that why Trigger wasn't in the promo pic.

    "Could it be that Rockman Scramble Battle fighting game that was thought to be canceled?"

    Could be, I mean, the game testers has been given them enough negative criticisms to shove off the project, that is the information according to protodude. Maybe we can hope that the producer has the interest to boot the game back in.

    If the secert Rockman project was in the next gen console, then I'll die happy.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Well... in the first sentence of that scan, the last word is "battle" o.o. That's the only thing I can read xD. Could it be...?

    Sorry my English xD.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The pic is certainly unrelated. I would make no assumptions or even guesses from the picture.

    Here's hoping for scramble battle or maybe a return to EXE. (Like that'll happen) I don't really want a new rockman.

    ReplyDelete
  30. FEBRUARY?! WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL FEBRUARY?!!! *dies*

    Then how did they get a hold of that image, anyway? ;_; Ohh... I treasure the idea of being able to play Harpuia in a Brawl like setting! Or Zero! OR BOTH!

  31. "Here's hoping for scramble battle or maybe a return to EXE. (Like that'll happen) I don't really want a new rockman."

    No, No more EXE!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yes! Yes more EXE!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I doesn't looks shooped, but you have to wonder just why Zero, ZX, and Dash aren't represented.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Seeing Rockman and X next to each other makes me excited...seeing the .EXE and SSR abominations next to them kills that excitement. Whatever this new project is going to be I have a feeling it's going to be a big mess. Cross-over games so rarely work and .EXE and SSR just aren't 'Rockman' like X and Classic are.

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Colin : I tend to disagree. You (or I) may not like EXE and Starforce as much as Classic and X - maybe not at all - but you can't deny the widespread interest the EXE series reignited in MegaMan as a franchise and as far as merchandising and Anime adaptations you can't deny that EXE and Starforce got way more attention and quality than Classic and X every did.

    I personally have no real interest in EXE or Starforce at all - when I was younger I liked EXE 1 & 2, but that's as far as it went. I do, however, really like the parallels you can draw between Classic-to-X versus the transition from EXE-to-Starforce. It really lends itself well to the whole parallel/alternate universe idea that the two timelines have always held.

    Meh, that's just me - I just think it would be awesome to see original timeline's legion of Android heroes & villains versus the parallel timeline's legion of Data/Holographic heroes & villains. There's so much for Capcom to pick and choose from the game is bound to be ripe with variety and awesomeness. ^_^

  36. once again you are forgeting they are separate timelines. and Colin, you're just missing out.

    ReplyDelete
  37. @BassDS : I hope you're not referring to me - I'm fully aware they are separate/unrelated timelines. They both follow similar formulas, however, and that's why I was pointing out how interesting it would be. Trust me, I know enough about MegaMan to know they're completely unrelated as far as continuity goes.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Abominations? :P Well, I'm glad your excitement was killed, then.
