Coro Coro Contest Possibly Revealed *UPDATED*

Japanese blog COCOROG has obtained a scan from the newest Coro Coro Comics, detailing the mysterious contest. Details are slim, but based on my (very) limited Japanese knowledge, it sounds as if readers are being asked to vote for which series will see a revival (maybe). COCOROG's report:

2chでコロコロコミック2月号のフラゲ情報が公開されていました。
情報感謝です!

アシッドエースBB、グレイブジョーカーRRは
「こくないのだれか」で20回以上バトルした後、4分の1の確率で出るようです。

Σに関しては来月号で公開されるとのこと。
タイトル画面にヒントがあるとか。

↓そして一番気になるコレ

ロックマンシリーズボスキャラコンテスト超催
早くもボスキャラコンテスト開催決定。
もちろんグランプリ作品はロックマンシリーズ次回作に登場だ。
WHFカプコンブースでもコンテスト情報があるぞ!
締め切りは2月13日、葉書に次回作への要望も書こう。

どのシリーズかは決まっていない模様。
つまり続編を出して欲しいシリーズのボスを送れば(ry

さあDASHとXに応募しようか。


UPDATE: For the heck of it, here's Babelfish's translation of COCOROG's article:

"[rotsukumanshirizubosukiyarakontesuto] super 催 Already [bosukiyarakontesuto] opening decision. Of course the grand prix work is appearance in the lock man series next work. There is contest information even with WHF [kapukonbusu]! The deadline February 13th, probably will write also the demand to the next work on the postcard.

As for some series the pattern which has not been decided. In other words if you send the boss of the series which is wanted issuing the continuation (ry You will apply to [a] DASH and X?
"

If the babel fish translation holds any truth, the bolded texts seems to imply that Coro Coro might be asking readers to submit a boss design from a series of their choosing. Almost sounds as if the series that receives the most entries will see a new entry, I don't know...

Bear with me on this. We're going to have to wait a little while until a concrete (and accurate) translation surfaces. Please don't take my translation as fact...I'm not all too fluent with moonspeak.

  2. Well seems like ZX is not a candidate, but I vote for X series, we all want X9! Screw SSR bwahahaha!!

  3. ZX all the way.

    ...Not a candidate, you say? DAMN!!!

    OK, then, Legends.

    Wait, again, not a candidate? GODDAMMIT!!!

    Fine, X series. I'd like to see them bridge the gap between the X and Zero series anyway.

    How come they even have Battle Network? It officially concluded!

  4. Screw X <_< I hope it never sees the dawn of day again.
    Dash or EXE for me! =D

    Cause if Japan votes for X, we'll get another game that has a lack of lasting appeal.

    Though EXE seemed most popular, so I get the feeling we'll see either EXE or Dash

  5. Either SSR, EXE, or X for me please.

  6. Megaman Soccer 2, dear God please!

  7. It says "Mega man series Boss contest" They didn't say which series. It it just contest. The winner of contest will obviously appear in next series.

    It also says about getting Acid Ace BB and Grave Joker RR. You have to battle something 20 times, and you have 1/4 chance of getting it.

  8. If this really is the contest, then I hope to God that the X series wins. After the return to form that was X8, it's a shame that the series didn't continue after that.

    It'd be nice if this contest was somehow extended to Western audiences as well...

  10. Rockman Dash 3 and Rockman X9 please.. No soccer sequels please for it is bored and maybe Rockman 10 in 32 bit ? :P

    ReplyDelete
  11. My gosh, if it is a contest, I would surely hope for a new EXE game on the DS (hopefully not like EXE5TwinLeaders with the annoying menus). If not, how about SSR xD

    ReplyDelete
  12. IN THE NAME OF GOD I VOTE FOR MEGAMAN X9 AND MEGAMAN COMMAND MISSION 2 =D.

    seriusly i would love to see a new megaman x game and rockman dash 3.

    But megaman x9 first please.

  15. Didn't you say they make manga?

    Well anyways, if there IS a vote on what MM GAME series would continue, I would honestly pick X. I think the thing that made X7 seem bad was it was the first leap from 2D to 3D for a megaman game (Legends wasn't 2D). The 3D levels had me annoyed when I first played the game and made me loose faith in the series. After years of not touching X7 I played it a few weeks ago and I kind of liked it. Only thing was that it seemed really short and Sigma battles were easy.

    It would be a great idea to revive the old SNES X.

  16. "MegaMan X" would get my vote easily.
    Personally, I hate the EXE series. Besides that series screwed up the image of MegaMan in general. There's still more to know in the X series, like what happened to Axl, is sigma truly gone? Will we see hints of the Elf Wars?
    Again, give us MegaMan X9, maybe in Playstation 1 2D-style :P I will happily pay 10 times for it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'd want Dash 3, or a new Zero game.
    Shame the Mega Man Zero series didn't get more publicity; 'tis my favorite game style so far.

  18. X should definitely come back. I don't want to bash the megaman spin offs, but they're just spin offs. The X story has potential if the creators put the missing answers to our questions in it. X is my vote all the way!

    ReplyDelete
  19. X9 should be on all the systems so everyone can play it. Megaman exe reminds me of pokemon. So many games and not really any enthralling story.

    ReplyDelete
  20. my vote goes to Megaman X altho i wish they'de also make a Megaman legend 3

    ReplyDelete
  21. Megaman...all series might be.

    I'm a dead fan of all of them. Maybe, I don't really need the sequel for ZX and Starforce.

    But...X, EXE, and Legend...please...let one of them will come out...

    Yeah...but any megaman series will definitely okay by me.

    I'm a dead fan after all!! :)

  22. acho q a serie x9 ia fazer mais sucesso poderiam colocara mais uma luta de hunters dessa vez o axl dava virus e se rebelava

  23. The way I see it.
    1. Original Megaman series= Still going strong with 8-bit sequels, so awesome.
    2. Megaman X= A little incomplete feeling. Just left us with that thing with Axl and stuff.
    3. Megaman Legends= Already working on Legends 3 for the 3DS, so I'm fine with that.
    4. Megaman Zero= Practically finished. Just needs some more background how it all started. Something that leads X to it maybe?
    5. Megaman Battle Network= Totally finished! No need to go further on it. Maybe some reversions for DS or something?
    5. Megaman ZX= ZX Advent left us hanging for a sequel! Since that's not a candidate, we'll see what develops.
    6. Megaman Star Force= Haven't really played them, so not sure if it's done or not.

    Overall... YEAH! X Series! Do it, now! But, make sure it's awesome! Maybe do a back-to-roots kind of thing like with the original. 16-bit SNES Megaman X again! xD

  24. CAN WE ALL FINISH WITH THE X SEGA SOMETHING THAT LEADS TO THE ELF WARS SO WE CAN FIND OUT WHY ZERO WAS LOCKED AWAY AND FIND OUT WHY X WAS FIGHTING A WAR ON HIS OWN I SAY WE NEED A MEGAMAN X 9
