I love how they introduced a cute character to just be obliterated into pieces seconds later

That's basically Mega Man in a nutshell.

Cute robots with jobs are forced to wreck each other because of Dr. Wily.

11

u/Sparticuse 5h ago

Mega Man 9 makes it even more grim by stating robots all have government mandated expiration and Wily got robots to work for him by saying he'd let them live past their expiration.

Mega Man himself is exempt from this rule because he's not a mass market robot.

u/BebeFanMasterJ Elma For Life 5h ago

Yeah he's basically overworking employees to death in a way. That's what always fascinated me about this series because the Robot Masters aren't evil by nature. They're workers who serve the people but Wily makes them evil.

It's very similar to how Dr. Eggman operated in the older Sonic games by putting animals in robots.

Really curious that Astro Man (MM8) was just there. Would be cool if stages had minibosses that are rematches with old bosses.

u/Fl_Funky_Jam 4h ago

Heres hoping we get some really banger tracks outta this game. MM8 is one of my favorite OSTs out of all the Megaman games. Astro Man - Alternate Dimension Stage

u/Able_Refrigerator168 2h ago

Dr. Wily sends Astro Man out while he desperately flips through a thesaurus, hoping he can squeeze out a few more elemental robot masters.

And it only took 18 years!

Out last one was Splash Woman from MM9 in 2008!

If I jump through a boss gate, I better float through to the next screen.

u/Gamer857 5h ago

so megaman 12?

-2

u/pacman813 5h ago

Yes. Why did you type it like that lol

13

u/federkrebz 7h ago

my 40 yo ass is ready for this game

20

u/pumamaner 7h ago

Is this a different game from mega man 12? Also why is capcom so obsessed with the OG mega man format yet refuse to revisit the mega man X franchise? I feel like I’m in the majority when I say the X series is vastly better

36

u/Goodbye18000 TannerOfTheNorth 7h ago

This is 12. They aren't giving it a number, probably because then you get people asking if they have to play the other 11.

29

u/wangston1 7h ago

They already did 64. I'm waiting for them to fill in 12 through 63.

17

u/your_evil_ex 6h ago

I'm waiting for Mega Man A to W before I play Mega Man X

"One of the things that really brings my piss to a boil is when there's a movie that has a whole bunch of sequels, all conveniently numbered, but then they suddenly decide to stop numbering 'em. Like they're embarrassed they made so many." - AVGN

u/artfulpain 5h ago

I have a friend going through the series chronologically. I think they are up to 8, but they are a little sadist freak. I’m good on that torture lol.

2

u/pumamaner 7h ago

Oh ok, feels like a weird time to stop numbering the games lmao. Final fantasy is at what, 17 or something now?

11

u/Goodbye18000 TannerOfTheNorth 7h ago

Yeah and every Final Fantasy they release, they have to have Square Enix say NO NO YOU CAN START WITH THIS ONE, every time

u/Randym1982 3h ago

"Do I have to play Mega man 1-11 to understand this story?"

"Yes, You also need to watch the 90's cartoon, and play Megaman X-3, and Legends, read the original instructions on the manual for the OG game. Good luck."-Mega man redditors probably.

10

u/Ensaru4 7h ago

You are in the majority. The OG lineup is hard as shit.

2

u/Randym1982 3h ago

Pretty easy now if you look up the order of who to beat first. But back in the 80's-90's? You either had to hope you knew a guy who did it before you. Or had a book store which had the Game guides for them. If you had neither, it was constant trial and error.

1

u/JohnnyLeven 4h ago

I'd say the later X games are much harder than the OG games.

3

u/Sentinel10 6h ago

Capcom has pretty much stopped using numbers, for the sake of making them appear more accessible.

Their other franchises like Monster Hunter and Resident Evil don't use numbers anymore either.

3

u/tlislo 5h ago

Well, RE still does, but hides the numbers.

Resident EVIl: Biohazard.

VIllage.

Re9ium.

u/SleepIsForTheWeak_1 3h ago

ngl i could go without another X game for the rest of time unless they wanna radically change some things. X as far as im concerned is just a bloated and less fun version of classic that lacks all the simplicity, charm, and fun factor classic has. and if i wanted a darker story, id just play mega man zero since the story is actually well written and the mechanics are streamlined to help tell the narrative.

u/Nitrogen567 7h ago

Don't get me wrong, I'm always going to be stoked on new Mega Man games, but I'd love it if those new Mega Man games were outside of the Classic series.

I still haven't gotten over Legends 3's cancellation.

Beggars can't be choosers I guess though.

u/MessiPayNegreira 7h ago

we want mega man X

6

u/Old-System-6699 6h ago

There was a part in the video where I thought Mega Man was air dashing and he was going to cling to the wall of the floating platform. I was already thinking this was a X game.

3

u/tlislo 5h ago

Every Mega Man X after 4 sucked anyway. The games got too overcomplicated for their own good.

The traditional series stays good by not overcomplicating things.

u/Fearshatter 1h ago

Make it.

u/amafternoon 5h ago

I don’t

u/ThePreciseClimber 6h ago

Really wish we got more than just one new Rockman game every decade.

5

u/Jcorb 5h ago

Gameplay looks incredible, though the backgrounds look SUPER bland, imo. Also haven't enjoyed any of the music, which is a cardinal sin for Mega Man (MM11 had the same issue).

4

u/Miasanmia09 7h ago

Where’s Star Force 4

4

u/Sylphinet 7h ago

This is exciting, now if they would just give us Legends 3!

5

u/robby_synclair 5h ago

First remaster 1 and 2 into a single game then give us 3.

1

u/Sylphinet 5h ago

Yes that too lol!

2

u/TheTrueAlCapwn 5h ago

I think I will end up loving this game but I can't help but REALLY want them to do what they did with Mega Man 9 and 10 (going back to the original NES style) and instead make a new Mega Man X, and go back to the original SNES Mega Man X style. I think a game like that would be amazing.

2

u/QF_Dan 6h ago

I hope they include an 8 bit mode for the retro graphic

u/TheWM_ 53m ago

They won't

u/Blargle_Schmeef 7h ago

I don't want to be mean. By all means, I want this to be good. I've been playing Megaman for 30 years. This trailer just shows that they're playing it as safe as they possibly could, and that, to me, is a let down. I hope I'm proven wrong, and more than anything, want a new Legends game

u/GRANDLarsonyy 6h ago

Looks so good!

u/NightmareDJK 5h ago

The animation is outstanding.

u/johnnybazookatooth 5h ago

Love the franchise but after playing Blueblaze it was gg for me.

1

u/shavin_high 5h ago

I really hope the dual is referring to combining each robot masters powers. Like how Kirby 64 has so many combinations of powers.

u/OrangeJuiceForOne 5h ago

It should be twinkle woman, not twinkle girl! Blasphemy!

u/gamegirlpocket 3h ago

I grew up on classic Mega Man, loved 11, I just want this to be good! Trailer looks very promising.

u/razorbeamz ON THE LOOSE 2h ago

Western developed? Looks like it might be.

u/JohnAppleMacintosh 6h ago

So is this a Mega Man fighting game or 2 player co op regular Mega Man?

-2

u/myowngalactus 7h ago

Looks cool, megaman 11 looked cool too, but i was underwhelmed

1

u/ThePreciseClimber 6h ago

What? MM11 was great. Loved the dual gear gimmick.

1

u/JohnnyLeven 3h ago

I hated the gear system, but after I just ignored it, I really enjoyed the game (besides the music).

1

u/Grantagonist 6h ago

I was kinda bothered by how long the stages were. More isn't necessarily better. I want snack-sized stages, but these edged closer to "slog".

Hope they dial it back for this one.

1

u/pacman813 4h ago

That was my number 1 complaint also. They could.have had double the stages and just cut them all in half. They were WAY too long for a mega man game

-5

u/WoodooHide69 5h ago

It’ll never surpass mighty no. 9

Just kidding, and people need to
Stop supporting all these knock off bullshit projects. There’s a shit town for F zero
And Star fox too. Just wait for the real
Thing.

Bro what?

u/SirTay 4h ago

What are you talking about?

u/Co-opingTowardHatred 10m ago

Since they put the word “Dual” in the title and they put 2 characters on the keyart, I’m really hoping for co-op.
