Megamen rise up.
Also no offense is intended to Hero.EXE or Duelists of Eden. I love indie devs, I think they are all champs and are the lifeblood of this industry, keeping alive genres that AAA games have left behind. Games like Hero and Duelists look great and I'm glad they're getting produced. I sincerely hope they get the sales they deserve. I'm just a little wah-wah baby man-child who wants my Megaman characters lol.
Network transmission and battle cc are great and I won't allow this slander to stand.
@@roaringthunder8069 Lol I happen to genuinely like Network Transmission (despite some massive flaws), but the wider Battle Network community really doesn’t care for either of those titles from what I tend to see online.
Megaman Battle Network already pushes my reaction speed to the limit (I have slower than average), Duelists of Eden looks actively impossible to me. Though I have never heard of Hero.Exe so thanks for the heads up.
For another Indie attempting Battle Network style gameplay Endlanders has been pecking away at it for a while and had a pretty decent demo. My main problem with it is that when you use your default blaster it locks you in place for a little bit. It is just a change I couldn't get used to over a demo but it has a very nice and distinct art style with plenty of potential.
@@ThrillingDuck man I really wish I can play network transmission in modern console...the gameplay looks great to me.
@@NetBattler I would have killed for a second, more competently executed stab at the concept.
Also, MMBN Legacy Collection outsold every MM collection and MM11 in 2 weeks.
Absolutely amazing. PLEASE put 2 and 2 together Capcom.
Wait, it did that good. I had no idea
i mean obviously.. we are in a modern era now.
It still hasnt. It made a million in 2 weeks, but 11 is at over 1.6 and the classic collection between 2 volumes is at 2 mill. It will outsell them for sure, maybe even this year, but not yet. What I'm assuming you read is that it is the FASTEST selling, since no other game had made 1 mill in such a short amount of time, but fastest selling is not best selling.
But wasn’t that with number determined by splitting up the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection 1 and 2 numbers and then combining them so if you bought one $60 physical it would count as two copies sold?
You: Bring back the Blue Bomber.
Capcom: *throws Mega Man into a safe, shuts the safe door, resets the combination, throws out the key, and dumps the safe into the Mariana Trench* I'm sorry, what?
The irony is, Megaman 11 was a success. 1.4 million copies is surely enough given the scale of the game? The collections seem to sell quite well. I do think there is an audience.
The Battle Network collection seems to be selling very well though so maybe that'll be the one to get the ball rolling again
LONELYGOOMBA!
LONELYGOOMBA! I didn't expect see you man
@@retrospector04 Sometimes popularity is not always a good thing. The moment Pokemon entered into HD, 3d the charm was gone.
If Capcom where to make another Battle Network, they would try to make it 3d like everyone else. Im worried that once it does the charm from the earlier games would be gone.
Not everyone can be like Mario and just transfer well in to 3d. However only indie companies care about 2d games now a days.
@@orangeslash1667 bruh, Star Force existed for the 3d in that reason also this isnt the first time.
I mean isnt Legends technically 3d yet people still remember him fondly.
@@rogue1248 Star Force is fine by handheld standers but not very interesting by console standers.
Legends had tank controls, so it's ok compared to most of 2d games. The reality is the only reason why Legends 3 was announced is because Keiji Inafune was being ambitious, but Capcom never green lit the project.
As for MM 11 the only reason they game was made is because Koji Oda had the courage to be the new Mega Man guy. Even he said the lack of Inafune was the biggest reason Mega man had a long hiatus.
Can you imagine if Eiji Aonuma left Nintendo?? Or Yuji Horii lefting Enix??? Remember when DMC 2 had a nightmare of a production because Hideki Kamiya wasn't involved????
CAPCOM: [[invents smartphones]]
smarphones: [[BECOME REAL]]
CAPCOM: huh anyway
Mega man.exe newest and most insidious villains yet...Siri and Alexa!
@@bezoticallyyours83 guess it's time for me to jack-in oven.
In the age we are in, smartphones, Battlenetwork would be so meta I don't know how Capcom hasn't capitalized on it for almost a decade now. Imagine the merchandise they can sell when they capitalize on smartphones. Imagine carrying battle chips in your pocket at all times because you don't know when virus programs will appear out of nowhere. Imagine having a phone case like the PET in MMBN6. If ever Capcom does sell battlechips I hope it's cheap enough for kids to buy with their lunch money, AND PLEASE NO BOOSTER PACKS, NO EVENT EXCLUSIVE CHIPS, AND REGION LOCKED CHIPS EITHER! GOD DAMN IT CAPCOM STOP SLEEPING ON BATTLE NETWORK!
SERIOUSLY BATTLE NETWORK AUGMENTED REALITY WITH PET SMARTPHONE CASES WHEN??!!!!
God that is cool concept tbh.
A MegaMan PET App would have been Awesome.
lol we're making it for them yet they still dont get it
its like whats heavier a kg of steel or a kg of feathers
@@ThrillingDuck The problem is that Mega man was important to Capcom back then, but ever since Devil May cry, Monster Hunter, and Resident Evil came in, Mega Man became slightly less important by comparison. Not helping matters is that without Keiji Inafune, Mega Man become difficult to evolve.
The good news is that we have a Mega Man successor called Azure Striker Gunvolt 3, it even has Keiji Inafune involved.
I don't know if I'd want a sequel to the X series but a revival of Legends and Battle Network would be nice.
I just want an elfwars series that illustrates the ending of the X series and the events that leads up to the zero series.
I would like all of those plus the third ZX game
Actually wasn't starforce supposed to have a fourth game? I'd like that as well.
@@PanicGun yes it was supposed to be.
@@PanicGun yep, there were concept arts and plots already in place at the time. Something about an slightly older teenage Geo together with this teen wave-detective who is the descendant of Lan Hikari.
Capcom is doing an absolutely legendary job with some of their franchises, and then is absolutely SLEEPING on others to a really sad degree. I definitely think they're doing better than 99% of other Japanese game devs (im lookin at you KONAMI!!) in terms of respecting their IPs, but damn they gotta be more consistent across the board.
tldr: make Maverick Hunter 😎
Hard agree, I brought up Leon and Monster Hunter specifically cuz RE and MH are getting plenty of (well-deserved) love lately, but Megaman deserves just as much love and he simply isn't getting it for absolutely no good reason.
Capcom is weirdly fickle with Megaman for some reason.
They certainly aren't as egregiously sleeping on their IPs as Nintendo with F zero and StarFox.
@@HylianWindRider don't forget mother series too.
@Netto Hikari To be fair, Mother ended. Yes they could absolutely do remastered and Mother 3 should get an official English release, but in terms of more installments the franchise is fine where it is.
The comparison between Sega's handling of Sonic IP vs. Capcom's Megaman sounds like a case study worth exploring.
You can throw in other examples/cases to show how unique the contexts surrounding how Capcom made sense out of Megaman's "failure".
Finally, someone who's saying it! The legacy collection seriously wasn't enough for such a marketable concept.
I feel like in the age of online cardgames a new megaman battle network would fit nicely.
Kind of surprising there isn't a gatcha card Mobile game with MMBN
@@baddabaddabaddaswing Mega Man X DiVE has a few .EXE characters
I couldn’t agree more dude, I’ve been obsessed with 4.5 since I was like 10 years old in 2005 (I actually managed to figure out how to order a copy of it online at that age, on my own, because I was that determined to have it.). It never lost its magic to me, and a modern version of it would be a literal dream come true.
I've been playing it since it came out, every so often. Booted up the english patch on my PSP Go again last night.
If they'd actually finished making Legends 3 and ZX3, the modern adventure-rpg-anime-addled audience ( me ) would eat that straight up
Battle network and Starforce with revive him I BELIEVE !!!!
Megaman is the best Capcom franchise and the fact that Capcom doesn't do much with him is disappointing. 😔
Megaman doesn’t do Resident evil or MH levels of absurd sales expectations so naturally they find him useless.
Fr bro when I think of Capcom I always think of Megaman instead of resident evil or other capcom famous IPs....
Please PLEASE let this reach them. I’d pay MONEY for a personalized Net Navi on my phone. I’ve been saying this for years
Take my money Capcom you cowards!!
With Chatgbt and OpenAI I mean, NetNavi sounds like it could be a reality.
I recommend Super Alloy Ranger and 30XX as Mega Man alternatives.
I freakin love Mega Man. My issue though is that I wonder, what do you continue? Classic? X? Legends? Starforce? Battle Network? If Capcom barely wants to support Mega Man, some of these need prioritization over others
If capcom would do something with megaman outside of colections i think their order would be:
1:Classic : Check
2:X : Checkist....
3:EXE : Probably
4:Zero/ZX : Here we start to lose hope
5:New series : Probably not, but if it happen, the series will be left unfinished
Out of ideas:Star Force : EXE exists
NO:legends : HAHAHA, i will die of old age minutes before a demo of a new legends game come out (I like to be positive about the impossible)
@@Zero-ontheleft i think star force collection is the next thing we'll see followed by bn7 if it does well. then maybe legends
@@johnpaullogan1365 Personally i think BN7 will happen before a star force collection if capcom knows a little bit about making money but they don't(unless its monster hunter), but legends...man..., with capcom after seeing how many people were following every update about Legends 3 Prototype religiosly, and how that would be a 1:1 bare minimum of how much copies (+ the paid prologue that was Legends 3 Prototype) would be sold (It would surpass the original legends sales AT MINIMUM), and still thought it would not be a profitable enough investiment, even a collection (the games alone or with the 2 spin offs just to fill in space),...it feels...so impossible......
(They would just resell the PSN version for twice the price)
@@Zero-ontheleft i think the success of bn legacy was a bit of a surprise. they'll need to start now. i doubt they aren't already working on star force for some time. to keep up momentum as they develop 7 they may include operation shooting star into the starforce collection though
@@johnpaullogan1365 What you say makes sense, but for a StarForce collection they would need to rewrite the games code instead of just porting the old roms just like they did with BN for online to work, and i think capcom only let their team do that, it was because of BN is the most lucrative Megaman franchise, and...with StarForce being the second worst (only losing to...Legends), i don't believe StarForce would get the same treatment, atleast not so soon.
(But man, starforce would be one of series with the most potencial with a code rewrite instead of a rom port, imagine HD textures in those low-poly models, the way they could nuke the annoying touch screen puzzles, get rid of the second screen, and making the top screen the only thing taking space on your screen, and substitute it with menus on the overworld and a BN style side bar on battle)
also, operation shoting star? if they put that, it would be a first
you're literally the only UA-cam that talks about Megaman with the PASSION IT DESERVES. Before anything at all Megaman is just so fucking cool I just can't. All iterations of Megaman are just so darn cool, he's seriously a fantastic character. Capcom PLEASE just take my money and give me more of Mega Man Battle Network :(
Preeeeeeeeach! The "coolness factor" (for lack of a better term) is so under-represented in fan discourse these days, but it's a huge part of why indie spiritual successors just can't serve as full stand-ins for the mega man himself.
Omegaxis should get to hang out on the screen for a future starforce legacy collection
Hell yeah, and tell me to go “buck-wild” whenever I choose which title to boot up.
@@ThrillingDuck Oh definitely I would love that. I don’t care if it’s his game, voice actor or the short-lived, anime dub voice actor they were both great.
Bruh. The conviction by which you said "Bring back the Blue Bomber" actually made me really emotional.
All spinoffs in all of these collections are a great loss not to have. Megaman Soccer, Battle and Chase, Command Mission, Network Transmission, Battle Chip Challenge, 4.5, Power Fighters 1 and 2+ all the others I didn't list. Even at their worst, they are still a lot of fun.
I've said it before, but when I look at the MMBN Collection and the effort put into it (ignoring the bugs, because no release is ever perfect,) I get the distinct feeling that that particular development team poured all their pride (assuming any of the original devteam was present) and affection for the series into it.
It seemed like they tried their hardest to put the best foot forward for Battle Network. I hope they do the same for the Starforce Collection that is almost certainly coming, because *you'd be stupid not to, Capcom.*
agreed. LET GEO FREE FROM THE DS CONFINES AND LET HIM JOIN EXE ALL IN THE FUN.
Damn that sucks all pride and effort into a port...
@@rogue1248 I'm curious how they will adapt the second screen functionally in a port
they'll nix starforce since they don't want to deal with touchscreens
I think I'm the only one not satisfied by BN legacy collection. If you take the fluff out, it's just not good enough. Playing the romhacks that fixed the issues the originals have (specially the localization mess ups) gives a vastly superior experience to the official release.
If there is anything I have learned about Capcom, it's that they are ABSURDLY paranoid about things and convince themselves that a bad sales quota will repeat every time they use something that failed before, like it is actual FATE. No matter how little sense that makes. No matter what external factors existed at the time. Do you remember Street Fighter 4? The game that revitalized a WHOLE GENRE? The person behind that had to convince people to let him make it. And when he basically said he wanted to do the same to Darkstalkers? No. Because re-releases (re-releases that were only about 2-3 years apart from each other) didn't sell well. Because people didn't buy the PS3 re-release and hit the goal of like 4 million(again, probably because several people already had bought one).
Even if it is totally the fault of people who made the wrong decisions, it's like they think supernatural forces carved into history itself determine it all, and not just... logical things like lack of marketing or a bad feature or two, which could be removed next time. On one hand? It means they never push their luck with a bad idea. On the other? Just so much lying on the floor that could make them BILLIONS if they had the right game plan. But here's the secret: I've noticed it's not the first massive sales explosion that gets them onboard these days. It's the follow-up. They want something to come back to. Street Fighter kept selling, despite 5's early shortcomings, and now we're on our way to 6, with 5 getting multiple Season Passes. The new Resident Evil has been consistently doing good despite its own hiccups. It's franchises. That's what they want. So when the follow-up to Battle Network shows up, that's what they're going to use, I think.
They also have a habit of focusing on one franchise specifically each decade then they just kinda leave them there to rot.
The 90's had tons of Street fightr stuff and the series then disappeared until the late 2000's.
Megaman had tons of stuff in the 2000's and then disappeared
Ace attorney was a yearly release franchise from 2009 to 2017 and then it was gone too.
Now thy seem to be doing it to Resident evil.
@@Klonoahedgehog when they gonna focus on dmc 😩
@@cheef825 DMC games never released that often they had a decent in between and plus the reboot messed things up.
@@Klonoahedgehog they do it to re now cause games are more expensive and take more time than ever before
@@MILDMONSTER1234 in know that's why I'm wondering when it'll be our turn lmao
I totally agree with you. It's so weird that Capcom does a fantastic job with the Resident Evil remakes and Monster Hunter franchises, but just sleeps on Megaman. Battle Network was such a unique take on both the turn based and action combat that it still resonates with me two decades later. One Step from Eden was cool, but because it was a roguelike, it lacked the same bring your own battle chips to the fight feel that Battle Network did.
I hope that the success of the Battle Network Legacy Collection shows Capcom that there is still a market for these games. They did some phenomenal work with adding online PvP to each of those games, which if they were any other developer, probably wouldn't have bothered. But I think I speak for all of us when I say we need new games!
Mega Man is like the 4th or 5th best selling franchise for Capcom. At least acording to that sales document they published a few months ago.
But they seem to operate on the "why make millions if you can make dozens of Millions" mentality.
@@davidgusquiloor2665 Shinji Mikami of Resident Evil fame stated that the reason he left Capcom is that they grown too big, thus they take game sales way more seriously than they did in the 90's.
We need PETs on our phones or at least an reality game that lets us. DO IT
"I feel like im six years old again!"
Me:" I'm old Yusuke."
Im literally as old as megaman and playing the games almost as long and the network games were such an iconic twist.
The fact that they got even more relevant as time went on,Im surprised there jsnt PET phone cases all over the place yet proves they dont capitalize on shit over at capcom.
Megaman.Exe AND a Yu-Yu Hakusho reference!? Hello new best friend! Lol. Yu Yu Hakusho is my undisputed favorite anime.
I have to echo the sentiment expressed by the other reply. "hello new best friend"
I love Battle Network, but I think Capcom overpriced the collection. The complete BN collection is really just 6 unique games but is $80. If you only get one part it’s 3 games for $55. Zero/ZX is $40 and is 6 games. The two X collections together are $40 for 8 games.
I’m excited that they added online PvP and trading but that feature alone doesn’t justify the doubling the price to me. I’ll wait until the price is more in line with their other collections
I agree, but will point out if u get both volumes together it’s $60 not $80. Even at that price I still agree with u though.
@@ThrillingDuck The reason for Mega man being in smash bros over Resident Evil and Monster Hunter has nothing to due with popularity. Sakurai choses characters base on how well they can transfer to Smash. I don't think Monster Hunter and Resident Evil would work well as one to one translation. Mega man in Smash works because he from a 2d game, so he does work as a one to one translation.
Sadly that doesn't change the fact the Resident Evil is way more popular than the blue bomber.
Inafune gets a bad rep because of MN9
But he was basically the sole reason Capcom made "Western focused" games like Dead Rising and Lost Planet for a while.
They didn't want to do them and he used his senior position to basically go "nah we're making em anyway" and moved funds to them.
And he really was a huge part of alot of the good MegaMan games
He was, but he screwed the pooch soooooo badly on so many levels with MN9. The issue is he demonstrated judgement and management skills poor enough to permanently soil his reputation, and frankly I have no sympathy for him. I was SO enthusiastic about MN9 and he absolutely annihilated my faith in him.
EDIT: It’s the same with like Shigeru Miyamoto. Dude made some legendary games and evolved the entire industry but for the past like 15 years he’s been a parasite on the creative minds at Nintendo and he needs to fucking retire.
@@ThrillingDuck **BUT BUT THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE THOUGH. Miyamoto helped that one. And now getting billion dollars that one against DISNEY crap**
@@seabookfarno8656 Do we really know what he contributed to that movie lol? Cuz I can't imagine it was creative narrative ideas.
@@ThrillingDuck if I had to guess, probably holding illumination at gunpoint to make sure they didn’t mess it up
Capcom going "Western" is the worst move they've made
Literally the greatest video game series ever IMO!
Aside from the sonic bit, I enjoyed this video. And I 100% agree with you and the capcom literally neglecting megaman point. Like there's so much you can do with him.
The sonic bit was facts admit it 😊
The problem is that Mega man was important to Capcom back then, but ever since Devil May cry, Monster Hunter, and Resident Evil came in, Mega Man became slightly less important by comparison. Not helping matters is that without Keiji Inafune, Mega Man become difficult to evolve.
The good news is that we have a Mega Man successor called Azure Striker Gunvolt 3, it even has Keiji Inafune involved.
@@yamiyo6050 Sorta but Frontiers was decent so it gets real annoying to hear people crap on the series still when it's starting to slowly turn itself around. I know a lot of the ways it's improving won't be heard much outside of the fans until it gets several good games in a row but it's still annoying.
@@yamiyo6050… I don’t wanna be that guy but…. L+ratio
@@yamiyo6050 Not really. I don't mean to be that guy but, Sonic isn't that franchise that constantly misses sure SOME of the games are misses but it's not as constantly as everyone says. And plus there's more to sonic than just the games and it shows why he's such important character in the industry. He's done more good than bad ppl just harp on the bad because it's been normalised for so long.
If we could have our own custom navi's I don't even know what I would do with myself
Take control of the environmental control systems and extort the world governments with earthquakes
YES
Seeing the MARVELOUS job Capcom has done with RE, MH, DMC and are about to with SF6, it's heartbreaking to see them pass up Mega Man for that treatment.
At least as far as we know. There was the leak of Rockman Taisen when a bunch of Capcom games got leaked but we have no idea if it's been canceled, delayed or maybe wasn't a full game at all.
Great video, Capcom really is sleeping on a gaming icon and legend.
The fact they have all this lost content does make it seem like they’ve just got this stuff locked up in a vault or safety box just waiting to be opened up and used whenever they want
It feels like they’re going with the “Starving” mentality (You used it yourself) of just holding out with their most iconic franchise to boost ratings for themselves just being able to get a team together to port Megaman games to new consoles like this at any time so it feels like Megaman never actually died and is simply locked away
Ah, the Darkstalkers and Ace Attorney approach
@@Klonoahedgehog 💀
Thank you for giving equal love to all the series here. It's really awesome to hear a fan scream for all of us, not just the typical x9.
I remember being a kid watching the Megaman tv show on Saturday mornings and imagining how cool it’d be to have Pokédex-like devices with net-navis and battling friends… the Switch is/was a perfect opportunity to bring Megaman back into the forefront while running parallels to the Battle Network franchise. Chances are Nintendo will be capitalizing on the Switch’s form factor and bringing something similar to the next gen console. C’mon Capcom… don’t do us megamen dirty. Playing the X franchise on SNES is part of the reason why I even got into game development in the first place.
It is definitely past time to get a full revival in swing. Mega Man 11 was a great start, and it’s absolutely a perennial favorite in my Switch library, but that’s all it was. A start.
Hopefully, the rampant success thus far of the BN Collection gets us BN7 at the very least. Yeah, 6 had a “conclusion”, but it was clearly just tacked on last minute. You can’t tell me Lan and Mega Man had NO adventures inbetween middle school and adulthood. Let’s see Lan and the gang in high school! Let’s see a Den City/ACDC Town with modern RPG traversal and a battle grid completely unchanged but in high res!
Go ahead and give us two versions even, keep the Pokémon spirit alive. We’re ready for Battle Network 7, Capcom. We’re ready.
Hard, HARD agree.
@@ThrillingDuck oh, and if BN7 also has a super cool MegaMan.EXE amiibo figurine, all the better!
...Star Force as always being swept away.. sigh..
@@rogue1248 Star Force was okay. For me though, it lacked that certain something special that Battle Network had. It may have been taking away the Robot Master Equivalency. I probably would have liked it more if the villains were Maverick equivalents.
@@joebove4 yeah Star Force looks like it would be hard to get into because there's like no Mega Man references anymore. However I did just recently play the Operate Shooting Star version of Battle Network 1 and it's gotten me interested in some of the characters. The interactions between Geo/Omega and Lan/Mega Man are hilarious.
They could even make some good spin offs with MegaMan. Maybe a warriors game.
Always believed that if capcom wanted, they could've developed a Net Navi phone app that would included PVP net battle.
“What’s a matter you don’t like money” - great line!
i need a new fresh start for this series, this series means so much to me.
Oh Hail yeah you were right about Loving the NetNavi idea. I’ve got my own OC and I can’t stop thinking about them.
I’d LOVE an Elder Scrolls-ish Game where you can make your own Navi from Unique Parts. Mine would’ve been heavily based on the Guard Navi’s from 4 and 5 in a color like KnightMan’s wierd Grey/Blue/Purple.
Konami would've made a Battle Network themed Pachinko machine
I liked MMBN back in the days and still are. Really like the story and sometimes a bit challenging. I do wish they pump out mor MMBN/Starforce games
You know how bonkers people would go if legends 3 dropped? The fandom for legends is so insane, that in of itself would revive the rest of the series.
The idea of Net Navi's on the app store never crossed my mind but now I NEED THAT
See this is what happens when companies let an IP fall this far from public consciousness. This idea is SO obvious and appealing, but even longtime fans just aren’t thinking about the franchise.
@@ThrillingDuck if this app made it to every Asian countries I bet this game would be mainstream.
i think we'll see them as alexa voice options like they did with samuel l jackson
Listen up, if they revive any series, I’ll become broke.
There's a simple reason why Capcom doesn't make Megaman games. They don't sell. Megaman's reputation is distorted by SNES days' popularity when like 200 000 games sold was huge. They could sell those figures or they could make a new RE game or Monster Hunter and sell over 10 times more. It's true Megaman is one of the most recognized gaming mascots, everyone's played at least one Megaman game in their life. But that's the problem - They've only played one. Passionate MM fanbase is surprisingly small. Now MMBN Collection did sell probably the most the series has ever sold, so maybe it'll open Capcom's eyes that MMBN has some untapped nostalgia value in it and we'll get a new MMBN game. Hope so.
I don't think that the people making MH are the same ones makine RE games, different departments and different so a megaman game wouldn't in anyway hinder the next RE or MH, Capcom are back to their glory days with hit after hit, the next MH6 will most likely be the best MH game in terms of sales, RE is the most successful and SF6 looks to be one of the best SF game ever, also can't forget DMCV which was a huge success, so I'm crossing my fingers that they revive MM with the same love and dedication given to their other franchises.
@@alenezi989a3 Yeah that is true. I was just trying to make a point that Capcom probably won't commit to something that doesn't have a possibility of profit. I just don't see Capcom bringing back classic formula MM(or MMX or MMZ) because those just don't seem to sell even when there's some money put into them like MM11. People keep asking for new games, but either those people are just a vocal minority or people just have trouble putting money where their mouth's at.
MMBN Collection does show promise, so maybe Capcom will make a new one? I could see a new MMBN game be a bit more appealing to normies too. I'd kinda love to see a new MM series actually. It's been a good while since we had a new one and that might be something that doesn't have the baggage a long series brings along.
"Why aren't you selling netnavis for people's homescreens, seriously I would pay money for that shit. What's the matter? You don't like money?"
Seriously such a good point. My lord you're so right
I would like to see a Legends collection come out to PC and modern consoles. We still got the PSN digital titles but it only works on legacy consoles now.
And for God's sake include the Misadventures of Tron Bonne
@@mbii7667 The problem is that ever since Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil became Capcom's best selling franchises. Mega man has moved lower on the Capcom game tier list.
Man having mega man talk to me is the hype, especially if u get on late at night
I bought the legacy collection as soon as i saw it I didn’t even know it was gonna be out or anything I was just browsing the e shop and saw it was number 3 in best sellers and I was like bro no shot this was my childhood
Well, I heard mm11 was greenlighted due to the classic legacy collection selling well. So, considering how outstandingly we'll bnlc did in like, 2 weeks, I think we may see something good.
I sure hope so!
Star force should've been included in the collection
Maybe next year.
Chip challenge, nt transmission, 4.5 all of it same for the other series how do they not have bass, 1-5, xtreme 1 and 2, the racing, command mission, power battles the bn games arent really long either, just random battles and the same exact looking area as the last fridge... Total disservice then that price, they might need Inafune back.
@@NickJoeBeg yeah they should've watch them make a battle network collection vol.2 lol
@@GRAPPLEZ_ yeah i mean at the very least they can charge us for it, put vol 3s and 2s out for all the games they missed on the newest collections also i think bn 1-6 is already split between vol 1 and 2 insane amounts of under delivering
This video takes me back to 2011-2014, the peak of the Mega Man drought
Hopefully a new game will come sometime in the next year or two. Mega Man always has a spot of honor in my vg library and a special place in my heart.
Though the other gameplay styles of Megaman don't appeal to me (maybe ZX would since I like Metroidvania's) I would love for a new Battle Network title to exist as a jumping on point. For some of the games people love it feels like you need to/are expected to play every entry in the series when I have only gotten to like 80% completion on BN 1 + 2 years apart. Having a bit of reset button for a Battle Network 7 and having quality of life improvements to make cheats unecessary to enjoy the game nowadays would be nice.
Considering the founder of megaman rebelled against capcom, flipped the finger and basically said “watch me, i’m better” and then he fails. Utterly. So i feel like as evil of a corporation capcom can be, i can’t really blame them for wanting to stay away from the franchise for a bit: but the re-releases do smell like something.
I remember having a toy from Walmart as a kid of Mega Man with hands you could change for a sword or a gun. Super cool. It reminds me ho you said Mega Man is marketable, seriously! They could make ALL TYPES of stuff for this dude! Its time for a comeback!
Megaman.EXE had merchandise up the wazoo when I was a kid - it was awesome.
"Imagine if nintendo stopped putting out Mario games" that would be amazing actually.
Bruh
First off, I am so grateful for the Battle Network collection, and all the work/ love put into it. All the added content, the 3d Megaman.EXE ( with Andrew Francis returning) , it makes me so happy to see Battle Network in action again.
That being said, I feel that Megaman.EXE fits very well in today's world, more so than he did 20 years ago , Capcom would do well to revive the franchise and continue the adventures of Lan and Megaman.
Now, im partial to this version of the character, while I don't dislike the other iterations of Megaman, EXE is the version I have very fond memories of as a tween in the 2000's. Nonetheless, the Megaman IP should get more exposure, with all the iterations of the character, there is a Megaman for everyone
Hard agree on all points!
The fact that this year AI is going wild....
It is not ok for Capcom to sleep on Mega Man Legends
The sad truth is that Capcom sees a generic Rathalos from MH as more of a mascot for their company then Mega man
Great video and a great point being made. Capcom should reinvent MegaMan as a labor of love instead of a cash grab.
Here's hoping we live long enough to see it!
There are some Mega Man alternatives like Super Alloy Ranger and 30XX.
Honestly, Battle Network and Megaman 64 were the only iterations of the franchise I liked. I’m stoked for the BN collection
Im looking forward to the inevitable dead rising remake with re engine
Capcom really has an awsome roster of Games just waiting
Legit, if Capcom ever goes the Konami route I am so screwed lol
Onimusha fans aren’t just starving they are dead
@@MILDMONSTER1234 Fun Fact: Onimusha 3 was a big inspiration for Resident Evil 4.
Capcom somehow forgot that Mega Man made up the highest number of games of ANY of their series. It was like 142 titles last I checked years ago. They don't have to saturate him. Just use him for the most obvious success environments. Give fans what they want, and yeah, it will sell. Or try something new without getting cold feet and canceling for once. Not like Capcom is hurting for money.
Also, I love that you touched on an important point about designs. Mega Man is INCREDIBKY marketable because the designs are all so unique and without any irony "cool." When so many designs for games look the same nowadays for characters, it's still refreshing how different and interesting Mega Man's robots, navis, humans, virus, machine, gameplay designs are.
Not to mention how cool and interesting the music is.
Hard agree with all this, and can’t even believe I somehow forgot to mention how fucking banging ALL the music is dear god.
The problem is that ever since Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil became Capcom's best selling franchises. Mega man has moved lower on the Capcom game tier list.
Meaning that the Battle Network collection needs to sell as well as a main line Capcom game, in order for the series to continue.
Remember DCM devil may was made because DMC 4 didn't sell well enough for Capcom's standard.
Sadly Capcom has become a lot more unforgiving when it comes to game sales now a days.
I mean, Sonic is back in the spotlight, thanks to how great of a game Sonic Frontiers turned out to be and how great the his movies are. Why can't Capcom do the same for MegaMan? Like Mario and Sonic, MegaMan is a huge gaming icon that needs to return. If they don't want to revive any of his old series, then why not make another version of him?
Megaman is a lot like Samus where everyone knows them just like sonic and Mario yet no one seems to actually buy their games
@@dc7981 I've bought a lot of MegaMan's games back when they came out
@@UltimateSuperX The problem with Mega man is that coming up with new ideas for a franchise is easier said than done. Mega man is known for the Robot Master abilities and choosing which which one for different levels, the hard part is making them all interesting. Mega man 4 and 5 are prime examples of games that have a couple of interesting abilities while the rest are not as useful as the mega buster. With Inafune gone it's even harder than ever to make mega man games where all the abilities are interesting. This could explain why Capcom took a long break from mega man so that they can answer the question, can we still make all the abilities interesting????
If Capcom were to treat Mega man like Sega is treating Sonic. We would just get more games like 4 and 5 where most of the powers are boring.
So if feels like Capcom is treating Mega man, like Nintendo is treating Metroid. Their there's a good chance we'll get another game, but it will take forever!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm hoping we get a DLC for the Battle Network spinoffs too. 4.5 and Operation Shooting Star!
Seriously though, if CAPCOM were to announce a new mascot, saying that there would be riots is a major understatement.
You sir, have earned yourself a subscriber. In my eyes, I’m hoping for Starforce 4 more than anything, but that’s just nostalgia speaking.
If Metroid Dread can make it to the finish line, Starforce 4 can. Make it so Capcom!!
@@ThrillingDucktrue on that! And not only Star Force 4 but also ZX3, Legends 3 and X9!!
@@ThrillingDuck and MM12 of course!
@@virtualpellot933 The problem is that Mega man was important to Capcom back then, but ever since Devil May cry, Monster Hunter, and Resident Evil came in, Mega Man became slightly less important by comparison. Not helping matters is that without Keiji Inafune, Mega Man become difficult to evolve.
The good news is that we have a Mega Man successor called Azure Striker Gunvolt 3, it even has Keiji Inafune involved.
@@orangeslash1667 about Devil May Cry, I feel that Capcom has kinda forgotten that one too. They haven't done anything as of lately.
I need "Megaman is marketable as FUCK" on a t-shirt this instant
I still need to know how the legend of the Blue Bomber ends! Bring back Megaman Legends!
They need to promote a Megaman game with an anime. Battle Network had good reception because of that.
Well said brother I actually almost forgot about Megaman and you shed some light on the fact that gaming companies these days are hitting the stupid juice these days because if they tried to sell me a legitimate Megaman game these days I'd probably buy it...
Please, Capcom. I don't wanna die until i see Megaman X9 with my own eyes.
Great points, subbed. Btw, the closing tune for the video (mmbn 5 theme) was the perfect touch. Well done
Thank you! You're the first person to comment on that and it was a deliberate choice :)
God I wish there was a revival. Could still recall my earliest memory since I was a kid, hell it was probably my earliest memories in life, to be obsessed with the megaman ExE anime. I've lost major portion of that memory but I still remember back then craving to recall those memories. Hell I even remember the days where I call roll as pink megaman because she looked so similar to megaman but pink. God nostalgia hits hard.
It took me 12 or so years to finally find it and when I did I was introduced to rockman (megaman 1) and the rest of series like megaman x, megaman zero and ofc, battle network. If there is a revival then I can be a child just one more time. Obsessed with the famous blue boi
The battle network series is the greatest game that a studio just let die
Meanwhile in the Video Game Mascots Therapy Session:
Rayman: This year is gonna make a decade since my last consoles and PC game, i'm starting to lose hope.
Sly Cooper: Same, a decade without new games sucks.
Megaman: I though everything would change with Megaman 11, but i guess that was just a distraction, just to pretend they care.
Banjo: Come on guys, don't lose hope! our fans didn't lost, so why should we?
Sparkster: Do i even have fans nowadays?
Bro Literally everything you said, every letter, and I mean literally every letter, you said is exactly what I've been thinking for 5 years or more.
With the Battle Network Legacy Collection nearing franchise peak sales, I'm getting real sweaty in my underwear at the potential for a new game in the series.
A new Mega Man game has been confirmed to be in development for years by the current MM director, leaked with the title of Rockman Taisen, covid pushed it back pretty hard just like this collection, though I have a good feeling this is the year of the reveal trailer.
Is it Battle Network?
@@NetBattler No clue, could be any franchise or an entirely new one
@@SuxMenner aw....😢
Im gonna go crazy
What's the source on this?
Capcom response: give us another 10 years or so and maybe you’ll get maverick hunter X3
I totally get you on the indie game thing. I don't feel any indie game has captured the feel and vibe that battle network had, it feels almost impossible to do since it did it near perfectly...
Ikr?
Net Knight begs to differ.
It's clear that although a few indie games are Battle Network inspired, most of them try to be their own thing, so it's only natural that they got different vibes despite being of the same genre of a card battler.

Since you mentioned Sonic what do you think of Sonic frontiers also good to see you posting videos again
I loved your Kingdom hearts and mario RPG vids
Hey, thanks a lot! Tbh I haven't played Frontiers. It seems that it was well-received, so I may give it a shot at some point after a price drop or sale, but after years of being at least partially disappointed by release after release Sonic Forces was the last straw for me. I just don't really pay attention to Sonic games anymore. I found Forces to be genuinely insulting.
@@ThrillingDuck I think you should give it a go. Frontiers is nowhere near perfect, but it is actually fun and engaging. Not to mention they have REAL free content updates coming out with more playable characters.
@@hornie_pie_7861 That would definitely be a big draw for me! But with my current schedule and priorities, it's gonna have to wait for a sale anyway lol
@@ThrillingDuck Frontier's controls are not as good as Unleashed or Generations.
Modern day net navis would / could be deeply meta and feel even better in this post digital assistant and ai world
Hell. Yes.
Don't keep us waiting Capcom >:(
I would so pay money to have my own NetNavi. Even if it's not unique or even customizable, as long as I can choose a character I like from the games/show, I'd shell out big time. I'd also like to see the rest of _Megaman NT Warrior_ get a dub if they're getting the voice of Megaman.exe to reprise his role, since only two out of five seasons were dubbed in English.
Bring it back capcom
Totally agreed about what you said on megaman being the mascot thing. Its such a Shame that megaman is gone 😢
You made a bunch of great points. Love the energy!
Thanks!
8:58 wow that clip was a comeback
Well, there were those horrific mobile ports of Megaman 1-6 and Megaman X1.
Lol
It feels like something happened between Inafune and Capcom that made Capcom just despise Mega man
That’s exactly what happened, they Order 66 every upcoming mm title and refused to bring him in mvc3 even tho he was the most requested, didn’t make it for the expansion or dlc and he was one of the faces of mvc, it was insane how petty that looked for capcom, it was one of the things that turned them into “crapcom” back then.
Probably the guy who made megaman
@@JunDageki And the fact that Capcom ultimately cancelled Megaman legends 3 make me sad even though I'm not fan of that franchise.
@@NetBattler Here's what happened ua-cam.com/video/fuLHwfO0xMI/v-deo.html.
I don’t think I’ve smiled at a video so hard in such a long time.
I hope someone tagged CAPCOM for this video. They need to see this.
I feel like mega man doesn't need a rival because of what happened to sonic. All of sonics rivals have been..... Underwelming or unfortunate.. Having a main antagonist would be good. And protoma as his lancer is also good.
The Sonic bit was peak, you're telling me there's been like 50 billion bad sonic games and not a single new megaman game in the past decade besides 11?!
The sky rocket sale and money that the Battle network Legacy collection has made should be A wake up call to Capcom
There’s ~15 full length fan games currently in development that Capcom could easily capitalize off of.
