    Default If Capcom made Mega Man 10...

    What robot masters would you like to see? Swine Man? Murder Man? Cake Man?

    Would it be called Mega Man X?

    Would it follow the retro-cool aesthetic of Mega Man 9?

    How many Mega Man games do you think will be made in this fashion?

    What if they used the same game play from 9, but let you switch between Mega Man and Proto Man at the push of a button?

    Discuss.

    Roman numerals are for the Game Boy games, so I'm sure it would be Mega Man 10. :P

    I'd hope it would look better than Mega Man 8 because, you know, that would actually make sense in the natural progression of the series. Even if they were dead set on the NES vibe, it still boggles my mind why they wouldn't want to try to make it look as nice as Mega Man 5 and 6. As far as I see it, they were trying to make it look bad for the sake of looking bad, which is more of an insult to the NES than a tribute. But I guess marketing something as "retro hip" gets a lot more money than a modern, detailed 2D game competing against the sea of 3D games.

    As much as I like the "more of the same Mega Man" releases, I've been hurting for a story-focused game since I was a kid. They just keep making it more convoluted and the transition from TOS to X is never explained.

    I would rather see the entire series retconned into something coherant. If they can put together an outline for the series from beginning to end, develop it as a manga, anime, or game series, and finally let it end, I'll die happy.

    Realistically speaking, I see MM10 as either a handheld title or another downloadable. The tone is going to be rather family friendly, and the visual style will either be retro 2D (not necessarily 8-bit) or "shonen anime." I need to stop fooling myself and accept that the majority of the fanbase are much younger than I am, and a more mature continuation of the series is unlikely.

    How about they change it from a side scrolling shooter into a card-battling based RPG game, and litter it with random battles while they are at it?

    This

    Old school Megaman style graphics but with a new 2.5D twist. I really can't think of any better way to do it.

    As for the Robot Masters, you could do some really creative stuff. I can't think of anything right now, but that's what Capcom's designers get paid for....

    Don't know if you guys have seen this:

    Apparently some fan, who is highly skilled in Flash animation, has decided to mock up how he thinks Mega Man 10 should play out.

    Pretty damn awesome work. A friend of his composed the music in Famitracker.

    The Mega Man X series is different than the regular mega man series. It would be Mega Man 10.

    If Capcom made Mega Man 10, you could count on the following robot masters........

    -A Fire/Heat/Flame Man style robot, since they already used the idea 3 times.
    -An Air/Wind Man style robot
    -A Wood/Plant Man style robot
    -An Ice/Blizzard Man style robot

    There's been more than three fire-based Robot Masters:

    Fire Man
    Heat Man
    Flame Man
    Burner Man
    Magma Man


    I'd actually expect more of the lesser-used themes. Explosives are always interesting, to join Bomb Man and Napalm Man. Also, the flash theme would be neat to revisit, like Flash Man, Bright Man, and Centaur Man. The periodic table of elements also remains untapped, so we can still hope for the likes of Strontium Man, Rubidium Man, Carbon Man, Francium Man... Particle Man... Triangle Man...

    Can you guess what weapon beats Particle Man?

    Triangle Man! *edit* err. Triangle Man's weapon. So in the sense of making up some lame name for a weapon, the triangle beam, tri beam, tri force(that'd be a cool name,) etc, etc.

    I'd like to see another Mega Man Powered Up. Hopefully Capcom can put more effort into it than the original Mega Man Powered Up as the level design for the new mode really wasn't that great at all, but atleast enjoyable. Also make Mega Man Powered Up 2 a combination between MM2 and MM3(best two in the series.)

    There should be more of a diverse level creation system though. There are some enemies I'd like to have certain stages, but they force you to only have specific ones in all the packs that you can choose(and I have all the packs so I can't have all the enemies I want as some enemies aren't combined with others in packs.) It'd also be nice if they added the ability to actually do alot of platforming upward instead of putting an invisible ceiling that you can only fall down through but can't jump upward.

    They should just be straight forward with the boss names for some of them and name one of them:

    Super Fucking Hard Man
