Mega Man Creator Dreams of Next-Gen Mega Man


Using the Lost Planet/Dead Rising engine!

In a recent surpisingly candid interview with 1UP's James Mielke and Jeremy Parish, Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune discussed the future of the Mega Man series. Our editors tried to press him on a next-gen version of Mega Man, to which he responded that he's worried about not being able to recoup the cost of development on such a game. "I'm waiting for a rich person to appear and throw money at me," he joked. "I'm not even saying it has to be Capcom money. It could be EA, actually. I should say a company we have ties with, so maybe Rockstar." (Capcom publishes some of Rockstar's games in Japan). When asked if he could think about things not as a financially responsible producer and instead as a gamer, he admitted that he really would like to create a next-gen Mega Man Legends 3. "If I was able to make a sequel without having to worry about money in any shape or form, I think it probably would be Mega Man Legends 3. And that's not just me -- a lot of the original team members would also love to make a sequel. They talk about it. I talk about it sometimes. I know they love that series and so do I. If I were to say right now, I have a tiny, tiny, tiny dream that I wish I could realize, but I don't know if it's possible, it would be to do a sequel in the Legends series. The framework that we used for our next-gen titles, creating it was not easy -- it took talented individuals. One was the main programmer on Mega Man Legends. He said, while creating it, he was envisioning how Lost Planet would fit in it, and how Dead Rising would fit, and on top of that, now 'any time you want to make a Mega Man Legends game with this framework, it's ready. All I need is the go and we can slap Mega Man in there.'"
Inafune, how dare you tease us so! In any case, if you'd like to watch the whole interview, here it is. And for plenty more Mega Man stories, make sure to check out our Mega Manniversary hub that celebrates the blue bomber's 20th anniversary.

C'mon, Capcom!
Even the creator of Mega Man wants it, why not let him do it?
I'll be your best friend. *sickeningly sweet smile*

Damn it, it better happen, I've been waiting for this damn game the moment I finished MML2. Is it possible for Mega Man to go cross platform with all three systems? I know he had stints on the Gamecube and Capcom is pretty friendly with the 360 now.

Capcom could care less about exclusivity. If this game were to come out, yeah heres a good chance it will appear on all consoles

I'd love to see a Mega Man Legends III. I played one of the first two for about three seconds a long, long time ago, and it was so much fun that I obsessed over it for years until I could finally afford my own PS2 to play it on. I played and beat both games last winter and they were fan-****ing-tastic.
