Title: *LE GASP* A new MegaMan series?!

No-one knows if this is real or a hoax.  I hope for the former.

Yeah, and it's a DS game!  Sw33t!

Heh, nice name, Zex... Lawl. Seriously, do the Japanese just try to name things in a way that parallels American obscenities?

But on the other hand, new Mega Man game? Cool. I was getting kinda bored of the franchise...

I hope it offers something new, because Battle Network/EXE is boring me.

Well, according to the screenshots, it looks to have more traditional-style gameplay (along the lines of the Classic / X / Zero Series), but I could be wrong...

Hopefully it's still a bit different, though, because those games are... fun, but... eh. I'm kinda bored of that after 15 years.

Can't wait for that page to load.


They also desperatly need to do this to the Descent series. Descent 3 was way too open, needs to be in mineshafts to be a true Descent.

Zekusu, lol.

Descent totally needs some sort of boundary; although it'd be cool if they did a few levels in some sort of space wreckage in order to some variation.

ZOMG NEW DEVELOPMENTS

It seems though the rumored new series is no longer a rumor.

Not only does this series have a new, seemingly final name -- "Rockman ZX" -- but Rockman Perfect Memories has obtained what looks like concept (perhaps even final) art for the main characters.

The boy character, known as "Van".

(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/4229/officialart078vv.jpg)
"X Van".  Looks kindof like Cross Fusion to me...

(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/4051/officialart064ky.jpg)
The female character, called "Eile".

(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/8199/officialart089ce.jpg)
"X Eile".

Van, preparing for "X Transformation".
IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!!! *SHOT*

As the art style indicates, not only is this game apparently being developed by the same studio that did work on the Zero series for GBA, but it may even take place during the same time--maybe even as a direct continuation of the Zero series.  (Remember the ending of Zero 4?)

Well, it's apparently DS-exclusive, so it makes up for PSP getting MHX in my mind...

Seriously, Byte...you CAN'T look at that and NOT think old-school Power Rangers!

Byte how can you tell Yami not to reference Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers?

I mean, look at the picture.  That says "It's morphin' time!" all over it.

Elminster: That program was for dumbasses in Byte's old high school to watch instead of doing homework at the last minute like he did, and their constant blathering about it distracted him nearly to the point of violence.

Byte: El, I farkin' hate you sometimes, revealing personal crap like that.  I wish I could N.Cowbell you, but I'd be taking myself out too, due to your wild spellcasting.  (Swift knows what I'm talking about.)

Why does everyone in every Mega Man game have to have huge feet?
Title: *LE GASP* A new MegaMan series?!
Post by: CJMErl / Yami CJMErl on January 12, 2006, 11:21:51 am
Because all the crap that Earth had to go through made the gravity so low, everyone needs lead-weight platform shoes just to walk around normally.

...or that's the way the aime-style worked out here.  Better big feet than big heads...*COUGHMEGAMANPOWEREDCOUGHHACK*

Wow. This new game is already not looking too great.

How the hell can you tell the difference between female and male X? DAMN IMPOSSIBLE!

Why can't male characters be more like the Privateer uy.... Badass voice, kickass big leather jacket, scar on his left/right eyebrow region [it's been far too long since I've last played the game.... >_<]

The designs are fairly girly, just like MMZ, but other than that, I see no problems with this new series.

The design for Kefka is rather girly, if you ask me.

I never said he didn't look flamboyant, but the MMZ characters look horribly anorexic.

Agreed. Kefka just dresses how he wants, but he's not anorexic skinny, like MMZ characters.

Maybe we wouldn't mind those MMZ douches if they had lines like "Hate hate HATE!" and stuff.

They're probably gonna remove all words, animations, music, and color from these games and save it for "Irregular Hunter ZEX"...

Yeah... now i'm just getting annoying- i'll stop.
