I feel sorry for Ono now. The dud has become the face of Capcom's fighting game division and it sems like literaly everything has fallen on his shoulders now.

It's funny how Capcom threw him under the bus so fast. They have no plan or patience for anything. Just throwing things against a wall to see what sticks.

If it was up to current Capcom Mega Man and Street Fighter never would have went past the originals.

Poor guy. I feel really bad for him.

[Rynnec]

And Capcom fucks up once again!

[Foggle]

Wow, that looks like a shitty flash game. A really shitty flash game.

Please don't tell me this is in celebration of the anniversary of Mega Man.

Whatever happened to that korean Rockman MMO? Also why'd they bother making this when Universe could've been the exact same thing but with more variety and choices?

[Rynnec]

Rockman Online is already out in Korea, I think. It's just not being exported.

[Avaitor]

Shinkiro did this. Should've been on sale at PAX Prime.

[Foggle]

Beautiful.

So while Capcom is still doing stupid stuff like this, they are at the very least doing things like this.

It's a good thing I only by retro releases and Shu Takumi games from them. Because it looks like my stance isn't changing any time soon.

How'd Skyla get into that universe?

[Daxdiv]

What happened to Apollo? It's like they realize that people didn't like him and gave Phoenix his job back.

Capcom USA's Christian Svensson's personal view on the problem with the Megaman brand.

Thanks for the suggestion. I (and probably I alone so please don?t ascribe said belief to ?Capcom?) think one of the problems MM has had as a brand is that we?ve had too many competing splinter sub-brands within it. I?m not sure starting yet another is the way to get the franchise as a whole back on track more than creating greater brand confusion but we?ll take it under advisement.

Sounds like he's saying there's too many spinoffs...well not recently since y'all are BARELY USING THE FRANCHISE
