A Universe of Mega Mans

Nice. Mega has always been my fav!

So can I change my Megaman into Chris? And fight boulders?

So basically Super Mario Crossover; Megaman Edition.

AWESOME!

The most creative experience yet? Does this mean he finally puts on some pants?

sounds good

Anyone think this may be a "Game Room" for all the capcom backlog ??

YES!

It looks as though Mega Man will change into different Capcom characters rather than simply changing colors.  Kinda weak if this turns out to be true.

Creative? Mix of old and new? Sounds like they're going for something Super Mario Galaxy-like. 

Which is awesome, by the way.

I breezed through Mega Man 10 on easy, but got my ass whooped when I switched to normal.

This sounds awesome!

Mega Man 10 has easier modes that are more in line with the difficulty of the timeless Mega Man 2. If you're a masochist that deserves punishment for being a naughty boy, there's harder modes that are more in line with MM9. 
 
I liked Mega Man 10 alot. Mega Man 9 can smile and blow me. (Although, secretly, I still like Mega Man 9... just not in a "this game is fun to play" way.)

More Mega Man is always good. I'd be fine with them making 2d throwbacks into infinity, but if they can actually make Mega Man work in 3d that would be great too.

" So basically Super Mario Crossover; Megaman Edition. "

There's no way this will be better than Megaman Soccer. 
 
But honestly, the title made me think Monster Hunter/ Phantasy Star, since Capcom is making fucking everything into Monster Hunter now.

Jeff, give MM9 another try; it's not that hard after a while. Also, I've heard MM10 is easier.

oh come on Jeeeeff mega man 10 has an easy mode and protoman is playable from the start

Maybe it's "Little Big Megaman"...

" the game will feature a lot of crossovers with other Capcom products, allowing Mega Man to turn into Ryu and Arthur, among others"
 
This reminds me of a series of megaman crossover games i played on Newgrounds once where each game was a level that felt and played likje a typical megaman level but was inspired by other games like Metroid and Ghosts & Goblins (bosses being the heroes from those games). Cool thing about those flash games was that when you beat one of them you brought all the power-ups with you into the next one.

The implication is I get to kill Ryu and steal his powers. Im game.

Yes.

Yessssssss

Capcom misspelled Keiji Inafunes name in the press release. Nice.

Mega Man just doesn't have a fan base anymore...  And I don't think he will be finding one anytime soon.  Gamers are just to into war games and stuff that aren't like Mega Man.  Its just a sad truth.  RIP Mega Man...  It wasn't a bad run, it just wasn't as good as Super Mario's.

" Anyone think this may be a "Game Room" for all the capcom backlog ?? "

 After having a horrible time with Mega Man 9--one that led to me completely skipping Mega Man 10--it'll be interesting to see how this ends up when it's eventually released as a downloadable game for Xbox 360 and PS3. "

Awesome. I can't wait to use the Hadouken arm cannon.

Hopefully, that means they'll make this game something that couldn't have been released on the NES.  Mega Man 8 is still my favorite of the main series (X still tops it though) and it makes me sad that the most technically advanced straight up Mega Man game is something that was released on the Saturn.

Little Big Mega Man, or Mega Man 2.0 is what this sounds like to me. User created Mega Men [new term?] , as the video shows arms legs heads hand pop off to customize your own Mega Man. User created Enemies/Custom bosses would allow pvp to take other users created abilities. Or perhaps it is just a Smash Brother's mash-up game with combination on Capcom characters rather then user generated.

I think it would be way awesome if they would go a 2D Devil May Cry/Viewtiful Joe route and rack up crazy combos. They could do that and hold true to the Mega Man formula still. 2D art, though. No 3D please.

that mega man universe photo looks like its from the 1980's lol

The concept is awesome, I just hope it's executed properly.

I'm obviously a big Mega Man fan, but while this news sounds interesting I can't say I'm that excited...yet.

how about no...how about they just give me my megaman legends 3 so as to explain things they left completely open in 1 and 2...

I'm calling it: Megaman MMO.

Man, does Jeff ever whinge in this article.  Megaman 9 and 10 were great and had some very creative level design.  It wasn't hurting for originality or coasting on nostalgia.  They were the first relevant Megaman games in over a decade!  He's just angry he had a hard time with the game.  I'll tell you what, it's easier to play than Super Street Fighter IV (which he gave five stars). 
 
Anyway. I am hyped for this game.  I'm not letting the trailer influence what I imagine the gameplay will be like, but sticking with classic Megaman (the one true Mega), I'm fairly positive that I'll love it.

you better be able to charge your buster in this game. i'm too used to Mega Man X. looking forward to it regardless.

I just wish I could have Mega Man 11 instead, 9 and 10 were amazing games.
