Mighty No. 9 Controversy?

[CathyRina]

I think "Done to death" is a foreign word with Capcom... And good investments on what we want is a foreign statement to Konami. XD Yeah maybe they do have to change things up like Resident Evil 7 or Mega Man Legends. But to STOP COMPLETELY?

Capcom throws away Mega Man which had millions of games, millions of ports and millions of merchandise but keeps Street Fighter and EVERYTHING ELSE They own.... Which also gets millions of everything mentioned up there TO THIS DAY?

I even heard Resident Evil 4 is getting ported to the Switch... XD Surely something ELSE must have happened.
.... Oh but as soon as something isn't AS MUCH of a commercial success as the next (Dragon's Dogma, Chaos Legion, etc.) Capcom is quick to act like it never existed. XD They go ALL out or not at all... They NEVER just drop something like that. So I don't know...

For Konami... Maaaaaaan. They are quick to give us some bull, but as soon as we want another Castlevania game, which they have all the rights to continue on with just different developers, they are like "Castlevania? .... Never heard of it..." with EVERYTHING they seem to decide to stop... I really don't know what is wrong with Konami. XD And I certainly don't know what happened with Mega Man. But hey. LOL


P.S.: Whatever happened to Might No. 9 on the 3DS and stuff? It was promised to come out, google says it was released... Can't find a digital or physical version. ._. (Not that I would buy it. xD)

I think being done to death is a valid assumption on why these series were tossed to the side.
There is just so much you can do with 2D Sidescrollers before they start getting old and later outings of both Megaman (in form of Zero and ZX) and Castlevania (in form of the DS games) didn't garner much attention despite being released on the freaking Nintendo DS. The reason we don't see something like this happen with first person shooters or fighting games is the replay value you get out of competetive online multiplayer. Which is why we mostly see those genres return in form of Indie developers who don't need to please any shareholders and just want to put out a game. And Yes Megaman 11 exists but from playing the Demo I really didn't feel it with the new Gear mechanic and if I had to play classic Megaman I would've picked Megaman 1~6 & 9~10. I'd much rather have capcom continue with ZX but we all know why they haven't done that, and will never do. Classic Megaman brings more Nostalgia bucks!
