I'm curious since it seems like Capcom has finally slowed down with the mega man games or am I wrong? the series is still fun for me but definately feels long winded. Is it slowing or are there still tons of games crankin out that I missed?
Has Mega Man finally run its course?

If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

One thing I've learned is that great games are like Weird Al. They go dormant when it seems like the high times are over and then when the time is just right enter once more with a bang rekindling the fire.
How many megaman games are there now? I don;t think you have anything to worry about. I think there are more Megaman games than Mario has !
I think that's true. I remember reading somewhere that Mega Man has the record of appearing in the most number of games.
I have to remember that... "Great games are like Weird Al"
I smell a T-shirt slogan.
Mega Man should have rested in piece after the 16-Bit age. By that time it had become an antique freak-series that carefully avoided improving enough to stand the test of time.
Mega Man X8 is actually really good. And in some instances, later games are better than earlier ones. X8 and X4 are both better than X3, I think. And Mega Man 5 and 6 I think are both better than Mega Man 4.
I think that a next-gen Mega Man is a long way off, since there just isn't the install base to justify one yet.
Handhelds, though, are ripe for them, and there's been at least 5 on the DS. Not necessarily traditional Mega Man games, but still.

Personally I thought it had run it's course at #3 on the NES... but, I'm well aware that that's just one person's opinion.

the last megaman i played was 6 (my favorite, btw). meant to try the snes megamen; always heard they were good.
lost interest in the new games after the blue bomber jumped teh shark into the 3rd dimension and got some acid-trip storylines. (seriously, what's so wrong with "good doctor makes good robot to kill bad robots made by bad doctor")
Mega Man still gets 1-2 releases a year. Be it an abysmal Battle Network clone called Star Force, or an X/Zero style spiritual successor in the form of ZX. Sadly, I think the series' biggest weakness is its producer, Inafune. The guy is a hack and has been running the series into the ground ever since he took helm of the series starting with Mega Man X. The first few were good, and we've gotten some decent spin-offs like the Legends titles and two of the Battle Network titles, but everything else he touches is full of mediocrity. The two best games we got from him were the PSP remakes of Mega Man and Mega Man X. Unfortunately, his choice to go with the PSP was a bad one, and now we'll most likely never see another quality Mega Man remake again.
Like Castlevania, Mega Man is in dire need of some fresh blood to revitalize the series.
I personally try not to play and mega man games made after the SNES. I don't think they are bad games by any means, but they just don't have the same feeling that the old ones did. Mega Man 2 was and still is the only game my Dad would EVER play with me so that ones got a special place in my heart. We were never able to get past Dr. Willy's castle back in the day... Now is a different story however.
Thats not *quite* true.Originally Posted by Oobgarm
On the DS there has been 2 Mega Man games, Mega Man Battle Net 5: Double Team DS and Mega Man StarForce, both in the BattleNet series, but there are 3 versions of StarForce (just giving you different chipsets to start with, and a greater occurance of certain chips in each game, just like BattleNet 3-5 on the GBA). There are two Mega Man Zero DS games, Mega Man ZX and Mega Man ZX Advent. So if we're counting total # of games, thats 6, and if we're counting number of different titles its 4 and if we're counting the games with the Blue Bomber its 2.
MegaMan just had his 20th Anniversary this last year, so those titles that came out because of it. Until Capcom can think of an innovative way to put the Blue Bomber on next-gen consoles, Mega Man will stay HandHeld because despite Capcom's milking of him, they won't Bomberman: Act Zero, or Sonic the Hedgehog him.
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

Yeah, I was counting each version of the games as individuals.

To be honest, punching yourself in the face is better than Mega Man 4.
I loved playing 2 & 3 so I was bummed when I rented 4 and concluded it wasn't anywhere near as fun as the previous two.
Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

2,3,5 and the original gameboy 3-5 were the best.
Some of the hacks like Megaman Ultra are great too. Mario Wood man.
Am I the only one that liked the Mega Man Legends games? I thought they did an okay job of making the series into an entertaining 3D experience, even though they were in no way representative of the 2D gameplay, they were something new, and it was a fun something.
I'd sort of like to see another Mega Man RPG, sort of Sonic Adventure 1 meets Mega Man meets modern hardware. Of course, finding some way to make the battle sequences faster-paced would be nice, maybe do it a la Robotron 64 nouveau.
I'd heard Mega Man ZX was pretty good, actually.
I still plan to play The Misadventures of Tron Bonne sometime.

I just want Mega Man 9, to be released with a definitive conclusion to the Dr. Wily Story line. Then I can pretend X is actaully 10 like I thought when I was a dumb kid.
Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, IT'S BACON!!!!
