Y'know, the sales thing gets me. When the famicom was current, the ~2m sales that Mega Man 2 made were very big numbers. The series just kinda got outclassed by Capcom's later hits like Street Fighter II, (12m units on home platforms alone by 1994) Resident Evil, (over 5m on PS1 alone, game also had PC and Saturn ports) and Monster Hunter. (PSP entries selling 1-4m units per entry, World selling 30m units) Idk why Mega Man never hit it massive though. Difficulty? Seems weird, but the clamoring for Megaman online is always way louder than the sales let on..
This is nasty as hell to me. I know they made like eight or nine RPGs in as many years between Battle Network and Star Force, but tbh I've always thought the MM seeies broadly was really versatile. Also "outdated" is so silly.
Sure would be nice to see them do that Mega Man X9 they teased in the X Legacy Collection...... or a new Legends 3 Idk.......
Also na this is a Mega Man General Megathread now
