Posting in the all-purpose Mega Man forum because... just watch!

I... I'm at a loss for words. And I must be making the ugliest face of surprise right now. Wow.

I post musings, images and nonsense on Tumblr! I play games on Steam! Add me on either/both, and don't hesitate to ask if you want to play something with me!

I have officially lost what little respect I had left for Sony, and a lot of the respect I had for Capcom. MEGAMAN LOOKS LIKE CARL FROM AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE!

Look at that, it's Inafune-approved too! *facepalm*

Oh, and the character description has to be read too:

Quote:
"Known as a Digger, a person who digs up relics from the past for research. He is a hot-tempered man, but has a strong sense of justice and is also very polite. His weak point is that he is easily rattled when backed into a corner. He is always running around in a hurry due to the demands of his partner Roll, and this time he's been asked to travel to Antarctica to retrieve a mysterious box."

I couldn't make this up if I wanted to.

Alright. I call Shenanigans. It looks like Original Megaman, with an MML story, and... a captain America / Dudley Do-Right personality?

Honestly, I get what they were trying to do. If MMU and MML3 had released, I would have really enjoyed this as a follow up. Now, instead, it just reminds me of how much Capcom has made me unhappy recently. This is usually the kind of thing I'd buy a new system for, and yet I don't think I'll be rushing out to buy a PS3 or Vita to get my hands on this. It's probably the first time in over 20 years that I didn't buy a game or an even entirely new platform just because Mega Man made an appearance. Is this how it feels when love is over?

Exactly. I can understand what they were aiming for, and it'd have been a cute nod if both of the cancelled games had been released in 2011. As it stands now, it's just a bad reminder on what we were supposed to get, and I think they should have replaced that with something else entirely. That, and I hate "Bad Box Art Mega Man".

Oh.

My.

God.

...

WHY IS HE SO LUMPY? HE'S A DAMN ROBOT. ROBOTS DON'T HAVE FAT ROLLS.

I can understand wanting to add a character for camp value. I can understand even making that character look like the original box art intended. But, BY THE ROBOTS, that does not endear you to your fans. That's an Easter egg that should show up as an alternate skin--like the Zero suit in Brawl--but YOU MADE IT A CHARACTER.

They took that, and they decided to BREATHE LIFE INTO THIS MONSTER. What you are looking at is not a mere gag or parody, it's the death rattle of a formerly beloved mascot.

Is that what a Megaman is? It's been so long I just can't remember.

Someone at Capcom is really trying to bury the blue bomber.

I once ruled Interordi with an iron fist.

Bastardized and mangled appearance and backstory notwithstanding, this only proves once more that Capcom is full of shit, after how they said that "Mega Man is not suitable for a fighting game" with MvC3.

"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.

And also... That... THING is not Megaman.

That's it... it's a communist plot by Capcom to get us to shut up every time Megaman isn't in a game! If they drop the ball enough times, they figure we'll quit passing it to them!
