It's almost comical to see the same villain pop up over and over again, though Megaman always seemed to carry itself more seriously than say, Mario; Bowser could keep kidnapping Princess Peach but it seemed like down the road Nintendo was almost doing it as a parody of itself, kinda in a nudge-nudge wink-wink fashion.
Though, for games that are abit more story intensive like say Battle Network, I can understand why people wouldn't want it to get repetitive. But since when has Megaman X ever really been about the narrative?

Agreed. I'm tired of waiting for a good MegaMan console showing because Capcom cut the plots to their ends. What they should have done is leave them completely open-ended so that whatever sequels they want to push later on, they can come into being.
It's like modern moviemaking - Indiana Jones has been gone for a while, but they left it open-ended and look - Thursday marks the next movie.
I'm not saying that stuff is right, I'm just saying it keeps people entertained.
Mach Jentra: I heard you were dead.
