Capcom Wrong About Why Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Doesn't Have Mega Man

After the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster was partially leaked, Capcom producer Ryota Niitsuma explained how Mega Man is not in the game due to low fan requests. Some digging, however, reveals that this just isn't the case.

At least Mega Man isn't dead.

Capcom just can't hack it these days.

I want the truth NOW or I want it eventually!

creator of megaman quit, capcom is phasing him out. Cancelled 2 Megaman games and megaman on MvC. Gives crap reasons saying there arent enough fans.

[DEagle-izer]

I thought that since Crapcom already owns Megaman, that they can do whatever they want with him w/o the consent of Keiji Inafune.

They are making BS excuses like they did when they cancelled Megaman Legends 3. I could care less what the reason is. If you cancel a game knowing all the hard work you and your fanbase that you allowed to take part on the project did for such a long time, and then cancel it, You deserve no support or respect from me.

[Optical_Matrix]

They lied. Megaman X was the most requested character on the most recent MvC3 character polls on Capcom Unity. They're gassed.

[cemelc]

Lol they did know about the poll look at characters from 2 to 6 all of them in the game what a joke crapcom.

[Peaceful_Jelly]

So MegaMan will be DLC... =/

[josephayal]

needs blanka not mega man

[stormeagle6]

Pretty sure they're deliberately trying to kill one of their most popular legendary characters. Go figure.

Capcom should sell off the Megaman property to a developer that will actually do something good with it.

Bungie would show Megaman some love.

[Godmars290]

No, a Japanese company.

I don't want to see an "Ironman" Magaman.

[Studio-YaMi]

very very true...I don't want to see Rockman(Megaman) being a generic character in a generic shooter...for Gods sake !

[MasterD919]

Thats not what would happen at all...it would go back to its roots and maintain the franchise, rather than turning it in to your 'Ironman' idea.

The quality would surpass Capcom. My point being...Capcom is allowing this franchise to drown. Give it to someone who can rebuild it from its core. I'm not saying totally revolutionize it.

If CAPCOM gives the rights to Megaman away they should go to Keiji Inafune. I don't like some of the things he's said, and in reality he only finished up the design of Megaman, he didn't create him entirely on his own, but he's the one who's worked on the games the most over the years so he deserves to be called the father of Megaman.

I think what Keiji Inafune said was a result of a bad situation he was in at CAPCOM without a way to get out or to show his bosses why they were wrong. I'm sure he really wanted to see CAPCOM succeed, but ultimately quit when he saw there was nothing he could do. Remember, he said no one asked why when he said he was quitting, I don't think he had as much influence as we all thought in terms of DmC and other weird decisions that CAPCOM made.

I for one am sorry for judging Keiji Inafune without knowing the circumstances of his work environment, and I'm sure if he had the chance to make a new Megaman game without restraint it would be a great one. If CAPCOM doesn't want Megaman anymore they should give it to him.

[krazykombatant]

They should sell him off to nintendo!

Star Force seemed to appeal to kids well... I liked the series, even though it was cheesy and anime cliched, the 3rd one brought a monstrous mechanic overhaul there were even tournaments in Japan... The reason I say this is because I saw 2 little kids (friends, siblings, I'm not sure but they were close) looking at a Star Force game saying "woah, I didn't see this Megaman yet!" He was holding up the first game Leo and #3 was released last year... I'm pretyy sure Megaman is still popular here, even with the new generation of kids. They'll know who Megaman is... Maybe we need Capcom to advertise their series correctly... plus an anime series (like that Ruby cartoon. Man was that great when I was a kid lol) may remind kids that there are actual new Megaman games coming out... Capcom has to deal with their IPs differently and they can't expect them to sell well with the same marketing technique...

[jacksheen0000]

I'm Thinking if capcom decide to include mega man in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 it might stir some more beef/hatred against them; and die hard mega man fan would be left wondering all over again why can't Capcom make another mega man game. So I guessing it why capcom did not include mega man in the first place;and mega man would be serve as a reminder why die hard mega man fans were upset to begin with.

[Marceles]

The article mentions there's a Mega Man Legends level, but Capcom can easily play that off and say the level is only for Tron.

It does suck that X isn't in the game though. Imagine having a super that gives you 50% super armor, or a better plasma cannon, or boots that increase speed..something like Rogue boosts when she kisses someone. Sigh..all we can do is dream I guess :(

[9thWonder]

I'll be honest i was apart of this poll and i voted Strider and Megaman X as my 2 top picks before anyone else even for the Marvel side but on this list i dont see Firebrand how the hell that got on the game and not even Bass EXE or Captain Commando

[maniacmayhem]

Dont you guys see? Capcom will be charging dlc for the most requested characters.

Dont be surprised when two months after this release we see Mega Man, Venom as downloads for a hefty price.

[maxmill]

because they suck
