Capcom mulling over plans for Mega Man’s anniversary, “top men” discussing series’ future
2011 was a rough year for Mega Man. Two games in the series was cancelled, and Keiji Inafune left Capcom.
We’re not sure what lies ahead for the Blue Bomber, but Capcom is currently thinking about the series’ future.
Christian Svensson first commented on Mega Man’s 25th anniversary during an “Ask Capcom” show:
“We are continuing to noodle what our plans and what our celebration should be. There’s a whole bunch of things that we know we kind of have to get in a row before we actually really divulge or start to celebrate Mega Man.”
Svensson went on to discuss the series’ future in general:
“I hesitate to say exactly what, because I don’t want people reading more into it than is there. Let’s just say there are top men thinking about and actively discussing where we’re going to take the brand for the next ten years and how we’re going to do it.”
It probably wouldn’t be the best business decision for Capcom, but I’d personally be thrilled if the company revived Mega Man Legends 3. Probably won’t happen, though…
