Earlier today, Capcom announced a new Mega Man game. Usually if Capcom announces a new Mega Man game, Iād do a proper post. But no, not for this game. Itās not a proper Mega Man game.
Instead, Capcom is releasing a Mega Man social game for iOS. Look, social games are fine. iOS games are fine, too. This could be the greatest social role-playing game iOS has ever seen. But letās face it, I do not want a social Mega Man role-playing game. You probably do not want a Mega Man social role-playing game. Nobody in his or her right mind wants a social Mega Man role-playing game.
Capcom is throwing us scraps, breadcrumbs. After the disaster that was Mega Man X for iOS and after canning Mega Man Legends 3 (and Mega Man Universe, too), Capcom seems to be scrambling. Itās got the Mega Man brand, so why not make a social game?

Rome wasnāt built in a day, and for all I know, Capcom could be working on proper Mega Man gameāand could be announcing that shortly. I do know that former Mega Man producer Keiji Inafune offered to finish Mega Man Legends 3 for Capcom, but the company killed the project instead. I also know that social games donāt cost a lot of money to make, but can turn huge profits.
But cāmon, itās Mega Manās 25th anniversary. If youāve run out of ideas, Capcom, hire this kid. Fans deserve more. Mega Man does, too.
