CAPCOM ANNOUNCES MEGA MAN UNIVERSETM
Legendary Capcom® Developer Hints at Next Evolutionary Step for the Mega Man® Series
SAN MATEO, Calif. — July 16, 2010 — Capcom Entertainment, Inc., a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Mega Man UniverseTM is coming to Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network and PlayStation®Store. Mega Man Universe, the latest entry in Capcom’s long-running Mega Man® series, will be a revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming.

Mega Man games are beloved by fans all over the world. Since their debut in 1987, Mega Man has remained a videogame icon, having starred in more than 140 titles over the last 22 years. The connection he’s made with pop culture at large has extended beyond games and into cartoons, toys, clothing, comics, kid’s meals, and more. Part of that popularity is driven by the series’ ability to evolve over time yet consistently retain the addictive gameplay experience that sets Mega Man games apart.

For the next chapter in this legacy of excellence, Capcom aims to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game.

“We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe,” said Kenji Inafune, Head of Research and Development Management for Capcom Entertainment. “This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true.”

Inafune is committed to helping craft a Mega Man experience that meets the highest expectations of Capcom fans. Most recently Mega Man® 10 echoed this fact when its classic design and compelling gameplay made it one of the most sought after digital downloads of the year. Gamers can expect Mega Man Universe to bring the core experience fans want while delivering on the promise of innovation that Capcom is known for. Its official: classic gaming will never be same again.

That looks interesting but still doesn't really give too many clues on how this new game will be. I guess we'll be having other playable Capcom characters in the game though.

I was like "lolwut" when I saw Ryu. I'm sure this'll be good though.

Yeah, the preview gave us very little information at all about the actual game...

Spidermew · « **Reply #6 on:** July 17, 2010, 12:15:33 AM »

I would guess it would be some sort of mmo and you can make robots that have powers from other capcom games also, like streetfighter

Jelux Da Casual · « **Reply #7 on:** July 17, 2010, 12:18:47 AM »

I'm just glad we're doing this on XBLA/PSN. I didn't want to have to do this on PC. No offense to PC gamers, I just was never into PC gaming cause I never decent computer when games I wanted to play on them were out.

This seems interesting so far, with the inclusion of Ryu and Arthur for something, possibly a sort of crossover, or weaponry for Megaman? I like the idea. Either way,

at the Megaman 1 boxart Megaman tripping.

cool video though

Enso · « **Reply #10 on:** July 17, 2010, 05:45:34 AM »

I'm personally a fan of Capcom with Mega Man, Captain Commando, and Street Fighter. But never did I play Arthur. I'd be looking forward to this one. It looks very interesting to me.

DEMONKAI · « **Reply #11 on:** July 17, 2010, 06:00:03 AM »

Official Ryu man and Arthur man ( my unofficial names)

My guess is a LittleBigPlanet-style crossover game with Megaman. Sounds fun.

robot chicken much?

I was kind of hoping for a Wiiware release as well. Mega Man games are always best on Nintendo consoles.

But yeah, I can't really say I'm THAT looking forward to this even so. It's probably not going to be canon, and whenever they try radically new stuff like this, it always gets fans a tad anxious. Granted, I'm not deciding anything yet, but it definitely doesn't interest me as much as an 8-bit MegaMan 11 or a 16-bit MegaMan X9

"Mega Man Universe is not the only game starring the Blue Bomber currently in the works. There's at least one more, and Inafune said it was a project people had requested for quite a while. That brought scattered calls for Mega Man Legends 3 from the crowd, to which Inafune simply responded, "Thank you."

Dude, if this finally happens, I'm gonna crap myself in pure glee. I'm already having an extremely hard time containing my absolute bliss with Halo: Reach that I don't think I could handle Legends 3 being confirmed without voiding my bowels.

Unlike Lux, I'll just say "Instajizz".

The concept of Mega Man Universe, Inafune says, "came from the idea of what Mega Man is and what it means to [different people]." Whether you started playing the series when Mega Man 2 was released or whether you start with the Mega Man X series, Inafune says "Everyone has a unique idea of what Mega Man is."

That may help explain guest appearances from other Capcom games, including Street Fighter's Ryu and Ghosts 'n' Goblins hero Arthur. Other versions of Mega Man will be featured in the game, including that "crappy version of Mega Man from the original cartridge," a character featured in the teaser trailer.

Inafune hopes that the ability to play as different characters outside of the Mega Man mythos will encourage creativity in players and that Universe will "unite Mega Man fans from around the planet to play together in one place." While Capcom didn't show any gameplay during the panel, Inafune said they're working hard to have something to show soon.

More info. Multiple playable characters, cool. Starting to sound more and more like that LBP-style game or a bigger version of MM:Powered Up.
