Capcom keeps releasing new games, and the board's structure has to follow somehow! With the release of Mega Man ZX, and the upcoming Mega Man Star Force, we have two games that aren't part of any existing series. As such, two new forums would have been needed. However, I wasn't too fond of the idea of seven Mega Man forums to cover all of the various series, since we'd have a few popular ones along with some abandonned-looking places. The end result is that I decided to regroup some of them.

After all, the Battle Network series is over, with Star Force set to take over, so it makes sense to put them together. The same goes for the Zero series and the new Mega Man ZX, so they'll be in the same location as well. The forums' names, descriptions and logos were updated to reflect this. The logos themselves might be updated later on when new art becomes available.

Question: Why would Star Force and ZX get lumped with the 'parent' series (BN and Zero), but the X series gets to stand on it's own?

Speaking of which, the description for the X series forum reads "The Maverick Wars is fought" when it should be 'are'. Just thought I'd mention it. I never noticed it before.

Because the X series doesn't have a "kid" series?

The X series is definitely different from the Original series in many ways, while Star Force and ZX have a lot more in common with their direct ancestors. Also, there's the fact that the Battle Network and Zero series are most likely over, while the Original and X series (heck, Legends too) were never given a proper closure, so new games could show up at any time.

I've fixed that little mistake. Thanks. :)

Perhaps due to the console jump?

Us oldschoolers can only hope. I like the grouping, the games are very similar anyhow...

*ears perk up* Did I hear Megaman Legends 3!!?? *someone shoots me with a tranquilizer gun*


I like the new banners. I forgot to mention when you changed the Legends one (yea, that was ages ago), that I liked the choice of sprites. B)

Well, I think they go with their 'parent series' because their still is just one game released in ZX's case, and none in SF's case.

Yeah. But, they'd probably still be placed in the BN and Zero slots. Unless either of them got larger than their parent series. Say, since Zero had four games, and if ZX got 8 games, then Dr. Cossack might seperate the two of them up.

Personally, I think it's better to keep the BN/SF together, as well as the Zero/ZX.

No, because that doesn't change my original point: the Battle Network and Zero series are supposed to be stopped by now, so they can share the room with the newly created games and / or series. The only thing that will change is that I'll start calling ZX and Star Force "series" if / when they get sequel(s) announced.

Let's assume then, that ZX and Star Force end up being radically different from their predecessors--perhaps in a later game--would they, then, hypothetically, get their own forum?

This is Mega Man we're talking about. Do you seriously think that such a thing is likely? I don't. :P

Since we're talking about predecessors, no. If we would talk about a new series we had hardly heard of as of yet, then I would say YES.
