As excited as I am to know that Capcom hasn't forgotten the Mega Man franchise (which was already evident in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite), I'm going to watch news on this game with a bit of caution. If this game is a financial success, perhaps that would mean a new Mega Man X game might follow? (whether it's a "Legacy Collection" or an "X9"). I can only hope. www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/12/05/eleven-things-we-learned-while-playing-mega-man-11.aspxIt is apparent that Capcom themselves are developing this game. Inti-Creates is not involved this time around: blog.us.playstation.com/2017/12/04/mega-man-11-announced-coming-to-ps4-in-2018/It seems they're using 2.5D style this time around, rather than classic 8-Bit 2D. Personally, I'm completely fine with this. Now I feel like guessing who that first Robot Master is that's shown in the link (and Mega Man uses his weapon early on in the footage of the new game): "Fort Man"? "Brick Man"? "Castle Man"? "Boulder Man"?

I am very pleased that it isn't an 8-bit retro product. That was fine it 9, it was honestly wonderful in 9, but starting with 10 it just felt like a lackluster attempt to sucker customers with nostalgia. (Trading on nostalgia is something I've come to dislike in the modern gaming industry. With some exceptions.)
Oh, and everyone, please don't be needlessly cynical about the idea of the game being cancelled. The game is likely already greenlit for production (unlike Legends 3, which while the product was still ongoing was never actually internally greenlit by Capcom), and barring massive problems shouldn't have any risk of that.

It looks like Mega Man Powered Up with less animation. It's an interesting style and I hope it's good.

I adored the Zero and ZX series (epic, incredible games, all six of them), and I would love an X series collection to comfortably experience those games as well. As far as the classic series go, I got the first Legacy Collection and refunded it soon because the first games aged a bit too much for my taste. This however looks amazing, I'll keep an eye out for it.
Still waiting for an X Collection though...

The first time I heard this I'm like "oh okay, another Megaman game just like what they did with Megaman 10... another NES-esque game", but after the trailer I'm pretty interested in this.
After all these years, finally, the original Megaman has evolved into 2.5D (come on, X8 is like... 10 years old right now, no it's already 12 years, wow), and I'm satisfied with the art direction they choose: bright and pop-out look with cel shader to emphasize on outline.
This to me, looks like a promising sequel to a long-lived franchise...and they decided to develop it in house, which is cool. As long as they don't screw up gameplay. I can't see how on earth they could do that though, it's already a tried-and-true formula, all you need is a decent control and level design. Side Note: The latter IMHO is the main reason why MN9 falls mediocre, and later works of IGA also suffers from it, mainly due to the small budget they got I believe. (for example, OoE has lots of long corridors...)
---
About Z and X series, though. SPOILER ALERT!!! Considering how Z4 ended... bring Zero back in Z5 might be difficult unless they decide to do a complete reboot.
X9 on the other hand clearly has more choice, the cliffhanger ending in X8 left many things unexplained, they can dig more deeper on Axl's character, or just put old Sigma on his death bed once and for all then design a new antagonist... The poor guy has been resurrected for god knows how many times...
Please Capcom, please, if Megaman 11 sells well, bring us X9 or even better, a new series. I know it's hard to do nowadays but hey a man can dream.
---
....aaaand also this is a perfect title for Switch lol, I'm really really glad that I bought this console now, can't wait to see more games on it.

Cool to see the charge shot has returned (with a vengeance) for this one. I wonder if there'll be any other playable characters aside from Rock... (Hint, hint, Capcom.)

For playable characters, I'd go with Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass, and Roll. (Provided Roll plays in the almost Zero-esque way she played back in Powered Up.) Maybe also take a note from Powered Up and let us play as the Robot Masters as well.

MvC1 Roll with missile boobs? kidding lol. It's wacky though how she's been playable in more fighting games than actual Mega Man games. Thinking about MvC1 though, it'd be cool if we could use Rush Drill and Beat Plane like X ride armors. ...yeah I just really want an X game I guess lol. I'm still looking forward to 11 though.

I was never really a Mega Man fan, but I will definitely give this a shot. The more Japanese games, the better, in my opinion.

I could not believe it when I saw it, I am really happy about it. I must also mention that I am glad they did not make another downgrade sequel. The 8-bit graphics and music were great, but the lack of charge shot and slide and most features that were in the classic series even in 8-bit games was a little to much of pandering to fans of the second game who think that game is the most perfect game in the series.
The fact they are bringing back the mechanics that were missing in 9 and 10, and also not trying to just pander to nostalgia is also great.
That said, I hope they can break away from the formula a little bit, it seems they are doing it, but I still hope for more. Take a little bit of the good aspects of every game in the series, add some new ones too.
I generally try to not get too high expectations or anything, but I am literally as excited for this game as I am for Bloodstained. (In a way, they somewhat give me similar feelings, being nostalgic 2.5D games, and a more modern take on the games I like from series that were seemingly dead and that I had no hope of seeing again... the only difference is that one came in the form of a completely new series, and the other is a series revival).

I'm game, let's do this! It's been said a million times, but the walking and some animations are janky, but I'll see this in 2018 and absolutely get it. I'm very ready for another romp as the BLUE BOMBER!

As far as GameInformer is concerned, the former official name of this Robot Master is "Brick Man". What will his new designation be?

Mega Man 11 will have a new villain named Dr. Kinafune, with his creation MightyNo Man. MightyNo Man's weakness is the Promise Fulfiller, which you get when you defeat Honest Developer Man. After you defeat MightyNo Man you will get the Delay Cannon.
Alright, alright, I've gotten that crack at MN9 out of my system.
As for that Robot Master, if we didn't know ahead of time he was a rock themed RM I might have thought he was volcano themed. I could have thought that his body represents the volcano itself and the rock on top of his head represents some of the debris that a volcano spews when it erupts. But we saw his weapon used by MM in the trailer, so he seems to be pure Rock themed.
You know, ice is generally my favorite element, so I hope that we have an ice themed RM this time. They're not as consistently appearing as you might think.

Scuttlest So let's see, for Ice-themed Robot Masters... we already have Ice Man (MM1), Blizzard Man (MM6), Freeze Man (MM7), Frost Man (MM8), Cold Man (MM&B), and Chill Man (MM10). It should be easy to come up with a name for another Ice-themed one. How about "Snow Man", "Glacier Man", "Avalanche Man", "Arctic Man", "Tundra Man". Heck, even "Floe Man".
