Capcom hopeful for more classic Mega Man releases on 3DS

December 22nd, 2012 Posted in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News, Podcast Stories, Posted by Valay, Wii Shop Channel

Capcom kicked off Mega Man’s 25th anniversary by releasing Street Fighter X Mega Man and confirming classic games for the 3DS eShop in North America and Europe.

Fans may be wondering: is anything else planned for the 3DS? Senior community manager Brett Elston was recently asked if the company has any plans to offer something more beyond Virtual Console games on the eShop – specifically a 3D Classic.

“A great idea, and one I’ve brought up before. It’s just something both Capcom Japan and Nintendo would have to collaborate on. Never say never, but no official word at the moment.”

Capcom senior VP Christian Svensson also commented on additional Wii VC releases and “3DS stuff” on the official boards:

“I’m not sure if there’s any more Wii VC projects in the works at all with our online group at this point. I will say that they’ve at times just popped out of no where in the past so my lack of knowledge shouldn’t be taken as gospel. These projects [sic] aren’t on our usual product roadmap. I’m hoping the group is looking at 3DS stuff though. We’ve made some requests for a few things to be explored based upon feedback here. We’ll see what happens.

    I’m pretty let down that more companies aren’t releasing 3D classic versions of these retro titles. 3D Kid Icarus, Excitebike, etc., is a very cool new way to play titles a lot of us have bought many times as-is.

    I have the original Mega Man NES carts, I bought the anniversary disc for PS2 and Gamecube, I’ve bought the titles again on the Wii Virtual Console… Capcom is literally giving me, a lifetime Mega Man fan, no reason to spend any money on the 25th anniversary. If they were to offer something new (like a 3D enhanced title) or something we’ve not seen stateside before ‘Rockman MEGAWORLD’ THAT would be awesome.

    Or, Capcom could go totally crazy and make a NEW game for the 25th Anniversary :wow:
