Exciting Things Are Happening In The World Of Mega Man. UPDATED: More Information.

 





Here we are. It's been over four years since the release of the excellent Mega Man 11, we're now in December, and the Blue Bomber's 35th anniversary is soon approaching. I live and breathe this franchise and I can feel the hype.


Given the tons of new merch we've been getting lately, a big leak from two years ago, teases of Mega Man in the RE engine, and now trademarks, it's all a telling sign of announcements being imminent.


Here's a tiny thing from me:


Alongside Battle Network Legacy Collection, there's an additional three Mega Man games that are in development.


Should be about time to start announcing some of those things, yeah? A Megaman Direct sounds likely, methinks.


Hopefully we get equipped with these new Megaman announcements soon. 


Update 12/06/22:


Oooooh boy. This blew up a lot more than I expected. Though, at this point you think I wouldn't be surprised, but here I am. 


First off. I just found out that the banner was actually made an extremely talented fan who goes by Reploid21XX. My sincerest apologies. I'm still gonna replace it just because it doesn't feel right to use that without someone's permission. I really like that banner, though.


Secondly. The man himself, Protodude, actually took time out of his day to respond, which is pretty crazy in and of itself. I've been following him for the better part of a decade, so I'm honored for him to actually have dropped a comment. 


That said. I'm going to counter his statement.

The two projects being spoken about have been  known to anyone who's been paying attention to Megaman news for the past few years. There's an obvious console Megaman game that was leaked two years ago (actually, it was actually first mentioned by Capcom staff themselves), as well as a Megaman Battle Network mobile game. Nothing about these two projects are secret. Quite the opposite, and I will not pretend that they are. If Capcom somehow comes after me (they won't), then that's a bridge we'll have to cross.


As for a "Megaman event", that was just speculation on my part. Nothing else or any other sources of influence.


If I somehow got something of some sort wrong, apologies.


I've also gone back to the sources to have everything else reconfirmed, and they gave me the go ahead. There will be no retraction. 


Thanks for reading.

    I'm gonna guess you're referring to this.

    Then you're correct.

    I mean that update is all well and good Zips but like, you said "Three" Mega Man games and only Elaborate on the two known ones without even talking about the supposed third game in development?

      The third one is clear on the case, it's just Mega Man 12, which isn't news but at least it's good to know it's still in active development.

The Next 3D Mario Is Ready To Go.

Image
  2024 is here, and after an insanely long six years of waiting, I'm now hearing that the next 3D Mario, set to launch with Nintendo's brand spankin' new console, was finished over the holiday season. This is standard Nintendo practice, many of their big games are done well before release. As was said before, this is EPD Tokyo's first full attempt at an open world game, and the game is said to look " Absolutely jaw-dropping". I can confirm a few other new things as well: Donkey Kong will appear in the game in some form. I'm unsure if he's playable, a boss, or an extended cameo of some sort. Given how Mario and DK have appeared as a pair in pretty much everything as of late, which includes the movie, LEGO sets, a remake of Mario Vs. DK, and now in theme park promotions, it only makes sense to continue that trend.  Luigi, Peach, Captain Toad and Pauline will all appear as well, though I'm unsure what roles they'll play in the game.  The other, mu...

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo...
