IGN reports today that the previously announced Mega Man Universe, set to be released this year for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, is now cancelled - and I couldn't be happier about it. Ever since the NES days I've been a huge Mega Man fan, with Mega Man X being one of my very favorite games of all time. However, Capcom has consistently failed to do anything right with Mega Man, or has been hugely inconsistent at least, since Mega Man X2 or X3. Mega Man Universe sounded like a cool idea until I saw the videos. Then it just looked like Mega Man Powered Up only horrible.   

 

Probably a smart move by them. Personally, I thought the game looked like a crusty butthole.

Yeah, it looked like a bad fan mod or rom hack.

I'll admit i got excited by the premise but then i saw the game in action and all hope faded.

Same. The premise seemed really cool, but any excitement disappeared when I saw the game itself.

I'd disagree with only one point from the TC. Mega Man X 3 was awesome - then it all went downhill. 9 and 10 were the closest they've gotten since then, but they aren't really that great.
