well in a nentendo power issue that shows megaman aniversery collection it says that since capcom had so much sucess at selling the aniversery collection they decided to make a megaman 9?

... i think it could be true.

any comments?

cool i hope its better than all of the megaman games

Yes, its going to wrap up the Classic games, then Capcom might work on a new series, but they are referring to MegaMan & Bass, which has the reputation of MegaMan 9.

I\'ve historically heard Megaman & Bass referred to as \"Megaman 9\", a case which is supported here (http://www.mmhp.net/Previews.html). However, there\'s no saying whether or not Capcom is really developing an official Mega Man 9. Years ago, when I was about 8 years old, I made up an outline for an entire MM game, with all-new robot masters, as well as a new antagonist robot scientist and bosses for Wily\'s and Sopwith\'s castles, so it\'s not too hard for Capcom to come up with yet another MM game, which has basically followed the same structure all along (8 robot masters, then final dungeons).

Post redacted

Well, MegaMan 9 is a ROM hack of Rockman & Forte, when it wasn\'t released in the US, hackers hacked the title as \"MegaMan 9\" and distributed through out the \'Net. Now, we should get a game starring Duo, no, Power Fighters, Battle & Chase, and that Battle & Fighters don\'t count, I hate SNES-ized Duos, Capcom should have used the MegaMan 8 sprites.

.....oh well that\'s what it said in nentendo power

Well, can you start a topic about a game starring Duo?

Well, it is always good to keep your hopes up. I believe that they will make a Megaman IX because well,some other stuff shows. I mean they are starting to get desperate for Megaman X maverick names and it is almost starting to appear in the Megaman Series. I don\'t really know how to support my opinion, only by saying it is what I believe in.

No. I\'ve heard from fans, official sites, and reviews that RockMan & Forte is NOT, in fact, MegaMan-9.

And, by the way. Why does MegaMan have to end at 9? X doesn\'t necessarily have to mean 10. It could just be \"MegaMan-X, the first game.\". The X simply labelling the series, and not the game number. It simply does not have a 1 because it\'s the first game in it\'s series. Much like the first MegaMan game.

Anyways, like I said, MegaMan-9 doesn\'t have to be the end. They can continue on to MegaMan-10... They could say that MegaMan-X happens in an alternate universe, and continue the original plot well into the normal X timeline. [/quote]

Sorry, X has been confirmed to be part of the main timeline. As well as Zero, and, ugh, Legends.

I like Legends. I don\'t like it being part of the main storyline.

MothMan

Megaman and Bass, otherwise known as Rockman and Forte, is not Megaman 9.

I wish people would stop calling it that. :rolleyes:

As for the real Megaman 9, Capcom will only create it if they think it will bring in the money. Battle Network is their Megaman cash cow right now, so I\'m sure they\'ll focus all work on that..

They have quite a few stones that they have left unturned. Hell, they could even make a Megaman Fusion or something.

Universes collide, and some guy named Rock, merges with the spirits of the Megaman\'s and...

has anybody seen the box cover yet?

If they do release it, they should definately hold another Robot Master creation contest like they did for MM6. That would rock, cause I have so many I could submit, and I\'m certain many other people have some great ideas now.

:conf: I can see Capcom tying in the X series from the whole Battles & Fighters explanation; and of course, Zero series would pretty much follow suit. How does Legends connect, though? The closest thing I can come up with is that there was a second cataclysm somehow, flooding the planet... Then again, I only own the SNES MMX game and the first Legends game, for the N64, so I\'m kinda in the dark on the current story for them.

And before anyone asks or tells me, yes, I know that Legends came out originally on the PS1 (PSX). I own the exact same game, only for N64.


Anyways... Back on topic!
the creation of a MM9 would probably be a pretty good idea, actually; if the robot masters of the original series all get transferred to the Battle Network Series, it means more games and consequentially more money for Capcom. Unless people lose intrest, that is. But yeah, the world needs more games like the original series.

not sure but if they do this is what I\'ll look like:eek:

i don\'t think that legends has anything to do with the story line

That\'s right; Legends was an alternate dimension series (by most theories) that does not fit into any timelines so far devised.

MM64 was about the same thing as MML for the PSX. Though there were a few differences, I hear...

And yes, I know that\'s all kinda off-topic.
