Xugo Gaming's Michael Bradbury gives the scoop on the latest situation with NeoWiz's Rockman Online, which is now set to begin closed beta testing.
Andreas Asimakis writes, "When Rockman Online’s first teaser trailer was unveiled earlier this year, only one thing could be said with outright certainty: It was a dark game. I’m talking Majora’s Mask-dark. Set in the distant future, mankind’s greatest robotic heroes have been replicated to take on a new Maverick threat which looks to consume the entire planet. The trailer showcased a handful of classic Mega Man foes, each having undergone an extreme makeover and sporting an appearance more menacing then their former selves. While a fine piece of anime goodness, the trailer did not show any gameplay footage, leaving many gamers to wonder how this MMO would play. Now that Neowiz Games has revealed Rockman Online’s gameplay aspects, we can add one more fact to our list of certainties: Rockman Online is going to make a lot of Mega Man fans very excited – perhaps even a little too excited."
Rockman Online has a new trailer as well as several long gameplay videos. (Hit the link for the gameplay videos.)
Once again, Korea gets an awesome MMO that nobody else will probably get. FANTASTIC.
Why is that Korean devs can make a Proper Megaman Game with Up 2 Date graphics and anime cutscenes and Capcom cant?
I'm just going to sit here and hope that this ends up sucking so I won't be so jealous anymore...
The gameplay looks pretty decent. If you want this to come to the States or EU put it in the capcom suggestion box! Capcom trademarked it for the US and EU so they are probably thinking about it, how about we give them the incentive to do it!
The gameplay's just like the 2.5D MegaMan X8... I never played a Battle Network game but I'm pretty sure is not like that.

A new animated video for Rockman Online.
What a star-studded trailer. Loved the part when they showed the MM1 bosses.
Isnt that Drill Man's theme btw?
Well it's being made by Neowiz and published by Capcom. And it seems like it's a South Korea-exclusive only which is really weird.
this would be pretty awesome. X was always my favorite Megaman series.
When can I have my Megaman Legends fix, Capcom?
