Mega Man/Rockman X 25th Anniversary Logo Spotted

Megaman X was the first game I ever played. I would be all over this!
X > Zero > Classic for me. I put Legends and the BN/Starforce games in their own lane.
We don't talk about the ZX series

they would have to reboot it..also i hope the collection goes for x1-x5 and x6-x8...so i can safely ignore all the nonsense
No lies detected.
The dash ability alone makes the X series much more enjoyable for me than the classic/mainline games.
That's pretty much how I feel haha. If X ended with X5 it would have gone down as the finest 2D platforming series ever but Capcom got greedy and kept it going. Now I've needed an X9 for 15 years!
MMX1-3 = MM1-3 >>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest of X and mainline
I as far as i'm concerned X did end with X5...inafune even said they ended the game definitively with a closed ending....but execs went behind his back and started work on X6 without his knowing. so if we're talking canon...that's pretty much the story as it exists
LOL. I keep wondering how the hell do you pilot a mech using motorcycle controls?
I love X games so much.That said, I have to agree with you. Nothing can top MMZ3 in its perfection
I mean...it's pitiable that MvCI wasn't a better game, but I truly believed that all the X series fanservice in that title was to prep for...whatever was next for that side of the brand.
I'll just be glad to see what exactly that is, after enjoying MM11!

As overatted as Z is. It never received X7 level of abomination.^_^
I love the zero series and x series and will take either at this point. But it has to be a proper port. We can't get 240p so I want it to be scaled properly and with a scanline option.
That redesign was not in infinite! This one is an april fool from capcom way before, that angered a lot of people!

Truforce collectible then launched a kickstarter to make a figure out of it, i've got it and it's the best megaman X figure i possess! This also have metal parts and so on, not just plastic :
I love this figure so goddamn much. I hope they make a figure of the Zero design that was DLC for Infinite as well.
Would love if a reboot happened and they got rid of his tidy whities.
X1 does imo, but yeah Z2 and Z3 are both all time greats. Zero series is definitely much more consistent than X overall (granted it had 4 fewer chances at a misstep).
I hope it's an elf wars game using the MMZ designs for X and Zero as well as MMZ's ranking system. I also hope that it has the same speed and freedom of movement as MMZ instead of the slower MMX games.
I wouldn't get your hopes up, it could just be for Mega Mission.
Still, I hope the X redesign gets its time to shine rather than being wasted in Infinite. It's frustrating that a game with so much Mega Man X fanservice was just so bungled.

I never got the 'kiddy' complaints about the MMZ/ZX art style. I mean, sure, the speedos on some of the costumes were weird (even if it's an old franchise trope going back to the classic series), but I love Toru Nakayama's unique and detailed art style, as opposed to generic anime look of the X series, which was fine there, but not as interesting.
Yeah, ZXA basically did everything in the first game but bigger and better, aside from some odd questionable omissions in the story (where the hell is Prairie?) and being incredibly confusing about the 'split timeline' in regards to the two player characters. I love how you could actually change into bosses themselves, even if some have some rather limited utility, and it's a godsend to have a map that isn't a bloody confusing mess. Also, Ashe is best girl in the entire franchise, such a fun character.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying it was "kiddy" or anything - I remember reading that the redesign was to appeal to a new generation, so I was wondering if maybe the younger players were part of the target market at the time, the same way most of us back then were younger when we discovered Classic/X.
You guys are cool in my book
I'd love this, but here lately, it seems like Inti isn't a part of Capcom's plans when it comes to Mega Man, any longer.
At least we got the MMZ/ZX team coming back together for Dragon: Marked for Death on Switch..
Like most others here, I've always preferred the X series over the Classic series (although, Legends trumps all).
I want an X9 with SNES or PS1 graphics so bad.

Maybe? It was a GBA game, so... Though it was clearly for a different kind of audience than the other sub-series on the same system, that being Battle Network, which by comparison had a fairly generic anime art style but sold a fuckton more.
Oh, yeah, Dragon: Marked for Death looks dope as hell.
Yeah, kinda sad that after a solid decade of working together (Zero 1-4, ZX/Advent, MM9/10, Zero Collection), Capcom seemingly dropped inticreates. Probably fallout from when Inafune left and the company killed all planned MM projects.
On the plus side it pushed inti to start doing Gunvolt and other projects so it's not all bad.
I tried 3 different times to get into the Z series but I just couldn't... I don't give a crap about all this talking bullshit and I hate how if you fail a mission in Zero 1 it's just gone and you can't try it again and the super tiny GBA resolution is just the final nail in the coffin. I play X and Classic and that's it.
I guess I could agree that X's best entries are better than (or at least as good as) the best mainline entries. But there's nothing in the main series that comes close to the atrociousness of X's low points.
Yacht Club probably wouldn't want to bother, Shovel Knight sells way more than any platforming iteration of MM.
The Zero series is fantastic and right up there with X, in my opinion.
Zero 1 is brutal but maybe you should try Zero 2 before giving up? That game's mission structure is way more like a typical Mega Man X game, and the lives system is more forgiving. I had to play Z2 before learning to appreciate Z1, since Z2 helped everything click.
Z1 and Z4 are solid bookends but Z2 and Z3 are downright classics.

The slide was a nice touch, but the true reason 3 is better than 2 is that there's much better weapon balance. Metal Man's weapon is just way too overpowered.
That, and the fact that 3 has noting as rage-inducing as that Crash Bomb-only boss in Wily's Castle.
For me, the amount of story chaff and grating unskippable cutscenes alone make those games much worse than almost anything else in the X or main series, for what it's worth. Those are just too much of a hit to the main gameplay loop's simplicity and fluidity.
