That came out of nowhere, and I love it. Fingers crossed other Mega Man characters are playable.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY, LET'S GO.
ReplyDelete(I hope we get an X series game next)
Proto Man whistle at the end, too.
ReplyDeleteI presume the fireworks is going to be some kind of Festival Man or whatever, too.
because of the opening like screen there, and images of gamma there, I'm assuming it's some sort of intro stage. kinda like 7's robot museum maybe?
DeleteYES!!!! THE BLUE BOMBER IS BACK!!!! It'll totally be worth the wait!!!!!
ReplyDeletei never should've doubted, holy peak
ReplyDeleteNEVER KILL YOURSELF NEVER LOSE HOPE
ReplyDelete2 years?!?! it looks like they're reusing mega man 11 enemies. do they have like that one guy in the corner working on it?
ReplyDeleteYeah I was wondering if this was in 11's engine or not watching it
DeleteAnd yall doubted capcom last week
ReplyDeleteTheir track record hasn't exactly been stellar, to be fair.
Deletehey, we got 2 years left for another possible cancellation. never count capcom out
DeleteAfter Taisen, nothing would surprise me.
DeleteA BRAND NEW MEGA MAN GAME!!!! finally!! there's no reason to be pessimistic capcom does care!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happyyyyy. I watched the trailer several times before I realized there's a Proto Man whistle just before it ends. He's back!
ReplyDeleteIt's finally happening!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it coming to the Switch (original) but... That definitely limits this titles ambition and prospects.
ReplyDeletebut will still take 2 years more!
DeleteThat's a long time to cancel it. I'll believe it when we can actually buy it. Capcom has eroded all my trust in them.
ReplyDeleteLMAO can you imagine if this got cancelled?
DeleteAnnounced on the same day I got my threezero Megaman and Jada Megaman figures from BigBadToyStore! When I saw "DLN.001", I knew it was our boy. :)
ReplyDeleteHell yes! Not only is there finally a new entry after seven years, but if the end of the trailer is an indication, Proto Man has been 100% confirmed to be in it, which is a huge plus. One of my main issues with Mega Man 11 was the fact that he (and Bass) were not only excluded from it unnecessarily, but on top of the fact, fans were given the worst explanation for it imaginable, which was blatantly insulting to everyones' intelligence. I'm glad to see that won't be an issue this time around. Well, at least with Proto Man. It remains to be seen as to whether or not Bass will be included. Duo would also be welcome, but the latter two are the bare minimum at this point in the series.
ReplyDeletewould be nice if since they already have a protoman model, they add him as dlc for MM11
DeleteI'm really curious as to why this is so far getting a "Megaman and Bass" naming treatment instead of flatout naming it Megaman 12, especially for what should amount to being the series 40th anniversary game. Either way, I felt actual happiness and joy when this trailer popped up and could feel my blood pumping with excitement compared to how I kept falling asleep during most of the Game Awards.
ReplyDeleteCapcom must've listen to those survey's i remember taking one of those. it worked!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that we *finally* got a new game announcement that wasn't gachaslop, but I'm still hesitant to cheer that Mega Man is back.
ReplyDeleteLook at that release year. 2027. That'll be a decade since Mega Man 11 was announced and nearly a decade since it released. Capcom's almost out of stuff to mine for quick Legacy Collection filler, so the ball's in their court to prove that Mega Man is *actually* back for *real* this time, and not just as a "once-in-a-decade" event that they seem to have set a standard for.
*Really* think about whether or not Capcom's track record has shown that they're willing and able to commit to regular releases of brand-new Mega Man games, and not just repeat this trick for a third time in 2037.
At the very least, this all but confirms what everyone who isn't delusional already knew: that Rockman Taisen died the moment the pandemic hit and Capcom had to shift their priorities around.
The dual in the title plus the whistle of Protoman, are those hints that this game Will be 2 players coop?
ReplyDeleteSo incredible. The longer they have to make the game the better it'll be. Super excited
ReplyDeleteYES, i'm so incredibly excited. I was in denial when it was getting announced xD "this looks so much like Mega Man... There's no way" and BAM, Blue Bomber is here. So happy and looking forward to this, looks great.
