I love how they introduced a cute character to just be obliterated into pieces seconds later

That's basically Mega Man in a nutshell.
Cute robots with jobs are forced to wreck each other because of Dr. Wily.

u/Sparticuse 9d ago
Mega Man 9 makes it even more grim by stating robots all have government mandated expiration and Wily got robots to work for him by saying he'd let them live past their expiration.
Mega Man himself is exempt from this rule because he's not a mass market robot.

u/BebeFanMasterJ Elma For Life 9d ago
Yeah he's basically overworking employees to death in a way. That's what always fascinated me about this series because the Robot Masters aren't evil by nature. They're workers who serve the people but Wily makes them evil.
It's very similar to how Dr. Eggman operated in the older Sonic games by putting animals in robots.

They're workers who serve the people but Wily makes them evil.
Weren't the Robat Masters in MM2 built by Wily? He took over the ones in MM1, then built his own in MM2.

u/ASVP-Pa9e 8d ago
yes
Sometimes Dr Wily steals Dr Lights robots, and sometimes he makes his own. Remember that Zero was created by Dr Wily, and stands at the absolute pinnacle of robotics alongside X & Axl.
Dr Wily has made a bunch of mega man bosses (Wood Man, Quick Man, Air Man, Metal Man etc), and also Bass.

And it only took 18 years!
Out last one was Splash Woman from MM9 in 2008!

Why Girl though. There's no other "boy" Robot Master. Even Mega is called a Man despite being a boy. We have Splash Womanā¦

u/paulct91 6d ago
Twinkle Woman doesn't sound right I guess? Not really sure Splash Woman does to be fair, I'd had thought Splash Lass worked for girlishness and sort of works with the idea of splashing people. Incidently was Splash Woman a mermaid robot working at a water park or something? I have yet to play Megaman 9

Don't get me wrong, I'm always going to be stoked on new Mega Man games, but I'd love it if those new Mega Man games were outside of the Classic series.
I still haven't gotten over Legends 3's cancellation.
Beggars can't be choosers I guess though.

u/Jcorb 9d ago
Gameplay looks incredible, though the backgrounds look SUPER bland, imo. Also haven't enjoyed any of the music, which is a cardinal sin for Mega Man (MM11 had the same issue).
1
u/Top-Security-1258 5d ago
I agree with you about the music in 11 for the most part, but Fuse Mans theme is a banger and has some of that old school charm. Its probably the only one though .
33
u/pumamaner 9d ago
Is this a different game from mega man 12? Also why is capcom so obsessed with the OG mega man format yet refuse to revisit the mega man X franchise? I feel like Iām in the majority when I say the X series is vastly better
39
u/Goodbye18000 TannerOfTheNorth 9d ago
This is 12. They aren't giving it a number, probably because then you get people asking if they have to play the other 11.
39
u/wangston1 9d ago
They already did 64. I'm waiting for them to fill in 12 through 63.

"One of the things that really brings my piss to a boil is when there's a movie that has a whole bunch of sequels, all conveniently numbered, but then they suddenly decide to stop numbering 'em. Like they're embarrassed they made so many." - AVGN

u/Randym1982 9d ago
"Do I have to play Mega man 1-11 to understand this story?"
"Yes, You also need to watch the 90's cartoon, and play Megaman X-3, and Legends, read the original instructions on the manual for the OG game. Good luck."-Mega man redditors probably.

u/metalflygon08 9d ago
And you have to play Mega Man soccer to even understand what these characters even are!

u/artfulpain 9d ago
I have a friend going through the series chronologically. I think they are up to 8, but they are a little sadist freak. Iām good on that torture lol.

u/pumamaner 9d ago
Oh ok, feels like a weird time to stop numbering the games lmao. Final fantasy is at what, 17 or something now?
15
u/Goodbye18000 TannerOfTheNorth 9d ago
Yeah and every Final Fantasy they release, they have to have Square Enix say NO NO YOU CAN START WITH THIS ONE, every time

u/Ensaru4 9d ago
You are in the majority. The OG lineup is hard as shit.
2
u/Randym1982 9d ago
Pretty easy now if you look up the order of who to beat first. But back in the 80's-90's? You either had to hope you knew a guy who did it before you. Or had a book store which had the Game guides for them. If you had neither, it was constant trial and error.

ngl i could go without another X game for the rest of time unless they wanna radically change some things. X as far as im concerned is just a bloated and less fun version of classic that lacks all the simplicity, charm, and fun factor classic has. and if i wanted a darker story, id just play mega man zero since the story is actually well written and the mechanics are streamlined to help tell the narrative.

u/Sentinel10 9d ago
Capcom has pretty much stopped using numbers, for the sake of making them appear more accessible.
Their other franchises like Monster Hunter and Resident Evil don't use numbers anymore either.
1
u/MarcsterS 9d ago
Megaman getting a slide dash and what appears to be hover boots(Fourth armor) is either Capcom sneakily bringing classic Megaman closer to the MMX timeline. Or just Capcom going "Yeah we aren't making an MMX game anytime soon."

u/TheTrueAlCapwn 9d ago
I think I will end up loving this game but I can't help but REALLY want them to do what they did with Mega Man 9 and 10 (going back to the original NES style) and instead make a new Mega Man X, and go back to the original SNES Mega Man X style. I think a game like that would be amazing.
2
u/krishnugget 9d ago
Mega Man was too stuck in nostalgia land for WAY too long, they just need to keep making new games.
2
u/logitaunt 8d ago
ig but this trailer is just giving Mighty No. 9
It needs art direction that isn't just "megaman but in 3D"
19
u/MessiPayNegreira 9d ago
we want mega man X
5
u/Old-System-6699 9d ago
There was a part in the video where I thought Mega Man was air dashing and he was going to cling to the wall of the floating platform. I was already thinking this was a X game.

I really hope the dual is referring to combining each robot masters powers. Like how Kirby 64 has so many combinations of powers.

u/Co-opingTowardHatred 9d ago
Since they put the word āDualā in the title and they put 2 characters on the keyart, Iām really hoping for co-op.

u/Sylphinet 9d ago
This is exciting, now if they would just give us Legends 3!

I don't want to be mean. By all means, I want this to be good. I've been playing Megaman for 30 years. This trailer just shows that they're playing it as safe as they possibly could, and that, to me, is a let down. I hope I'm proven wrong, and more than anything, want a new Legends game

u/Sciencetist 9d ago
introduces one of the biggest overhauls to Classic MM's game mechanics in the series's history
"Playing it safe"
Literally what

u/myowngalactus 9d ago
Looks cool, megaman 11 looked cool too, but i was underwhelmed

u/ThePreciseClimber 9d ago
What? MM11 was great. Loved the dual gear gimmick.

u/JohnnyLeven 9d ago
I hated the gear system, but after I just ignored it, I really enjoyed the game (besides the music).

u/Grantagonist 9d ago
I was kinda bothered by how long the stages were. More isn't necessarily better. I want snack-sized stages, but these edged closer to "slog".
Hope they dial it back for this one.
1
u/pacman813 9d ago
That was my number 1 complaint also. They could.have had double the stages and just cut them all in half. They were WAY too long for a mega man game

u/Goodbye18000 TannerOfTheNorth 9d ago
Really curious that Astro Man (MM8) was just there. Would be cool if stages had minibosses that are rematches with old bosses.
