(bad title I am sorry) So as most have heard Mega Man will be a new character for Super Smash brothers game for Wii U and 3DS. And undoubtedly most have probably heard about the last three or four Mega Man games that were cancelled. The last Mega Man game to make it out was the Street Fighter X Rockman (Mega Man) crossover game. With the addition of Mega Man as a character to the new Super Smash brothers game a lot of people who aren't fans of the Mega Man series will probably be interested in playing the games. With Mega Man getting to show off in the new Smash Brothers do you think that Capcom will finally be able put out a new game without cancellation? Or do you think that they will still be hesitant about what to do with the series? I personally think that it could encourage Capcom to try a bit more with the Mega Man series. Even the FPS game which people were skeptical about would have probably been good considering the Metroid Prime team was helping with it. And as seen with the Mega Man 9 and 10 revivals of the original series people do still like 8-bit Mega Man games (and some even prefer it). I think that this could help get rid of some of Capcom's hesitation about what to do with the series which would overall help.
Only thing that would make me happier if they used the Megaman I grew up with, but I'll take whichever one they give. Beside, by the look of his trailer, I'll be having some fun planing as him anyway.
I definitely think that, with his inclusion into the new Super Smash Bros game, Megaman will be getting a breath of fresh air with new (completed and released!) games. It happened with Pit from Kid Icarus, and it...sorta happened with Fire Emblem getting more US releases.
hm, i agree. characters that end up in the ssb games tend to get some sort of revitalization in their own franchises. and on the fire emblem matter, it wasnt even being localized outside of japan, and since melee came out, they are now being released in europe and the us, so there's a lot of power in having certain characters in ssb because it really does have the power to change the landscape of games, even just a little bit.
