I think the people working on it lack the creativity to effectively help the franchise to boom again. I mean Zelda is still around and very strong, mario somewhat (though i wouldnt think too much)

A Halo-esque Megaman MMO would be neat, but there would be a small chance that it could drive the final nail into the franchise's coffin. Battle Network and Starforce brought a bunch of repetitive sequels that picked up on a few story elements from the prequels making them great standalone games but not really establishing any sort of story short of "The world is in danger, use the internet/wave network to save it from *insert evil organization/god here*".

Classic established a timeline, a villain and an ongoing story and seems more like a single epic saga than a series of prequels and sequels. X serves as the sequel saga to Classic, Zero does the same for X and Classic, ZX does the same for Zero, X and Classic(not nearly as much but it still counts) and Legends has the potential to finish what has so far been 23 years in the making. Drastically changing the formula could kill the franchise(just look at Bomberman Act Zero) or breath new life into it. I don't think Capcom would risk it. They'd sooner crank out a bunch of mediocre games that still sell than make one that takes a huge step outside of the box they're comfortable in and may or may not fly off the shelves in record time and spawn sequels that may or may not become huge hits.

I actually enjoyed the legend games, but Im thinking they need a whole new direction, to keep up with the halos and gears era, it would be different for mega man but im sure they could find a way to make it work. if they tried with the life like graphics and what not.

Well, there's an MMORPG in the works, and 2.5D platformer with a level creator and character customization option and the Megaman from the American box art for Megaman 2 is a playable character.

...Oh, Legends 3 has been announced for the upcoming Nintendo handheld; the 3DS.

Besides Mega Man Zero, Battle Network, and those other dozen games they made in the last ten years?

Unless you mean the classic Mega Man games. But I doubt they'd go further than what they've been doing for MM9 and 10. Plus MM Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X didn't seem to do too well.

Just my personal opinion but I think it would be good to revamp the megaman franchise and make some upgrades to bring it into the 21st century.

Oh look 500 posts (woot?)

I don't think many people care about forums anymore. At least the generation of MM-MMX have college and shit like that, or probably smashed their computer because they are seeing the shitty videogames of the now.

I for one only visit one forum now, or else I just occupy my time playing games of the past, or oblivion. Stuff like that.

Drifter still has a few different forums,though they'll never be MMtL

Wait, what? I thought he went all incognito and only used the internet for Youtube and porn, or something to that extent. I feel like such a backwoods hermit for not knowing that.

I don't know if you know or care, but the whole Echonet crew maintains some form of community on Deviantart.

That's the main reason I joined DA. My memory's fuzzy, but I think one of the forums was becoming less active and I made a half assed attempt to keep in touch, that or I joined to see more Sonikku Comikuu and keep up on the now dead podcast.
