If Activision Bought Capcom...

We might see something along the lines of this:

I could totally dig a Mega Man themed Guitar Hero. Too bad we won't be seeing something like this any time soon.

  2. Maybe Capcom would buy Activision, though I seriously doubt it. Still, it's an awesome concept, and I'd love to see a game like that one day! I guess we can keep on dreaming!

  3. No offense, but it's nonsense like this that makes the 'hardcore' gamers laugh at MM fans like they're a joke.

    Not to mention, the artwork is not so hot. Rather yucky, actually.

  8. @Aubrey:
    Who gives a shit about what what some elitist "HARDCORE" gamers think? Are you retarded?

    By the way, what's wrong with the art, huh? Not KAWAII MOE MOE enough for you?

  9. Yea, it's pretty nonsense. And the art... :s Just go compose or download some classical Megaman tunes on the GH online store thingamabob.

  12. @Aubrey: I consider myself a fairly hardcore gamer, and certainly a hardcore Rockman gamer/collector, and even if some people think games like this are a joke, I think people like myself would purchase this (if it were real one day) purely for collectors' purposes.

  13. @Anon2: Whut what? o_o

    @Lord Forte: Well, usually not I, but again, I have also suffered the jeers of both family/co-workers/friends, and they will scoff at anything MM related if it comes up. Aside MM9, most consider MM in general the beating of a dead horse, from my POV. Which is unfortunate, and not-fair, etc. And.. the artwork is yucky, not taking that one back! Sorry! :)

    Of course, I also saw a hideous teaser-X9 for Wii cover recently and that thing was like "......ew, donotwant.." So yeah. I will admit, this one is better than that one. The CONCEPT is a good idea especially given how most MM music is pretty up-there as far as quality, but I think a Guitar Hero-like game that gets based on any older retro series would be best off doing SEVERAL series, not just one. Like, what Nintendo has been doing with some third party music-based games.. (DDR Mario Mix, for example).. They've got Itadaki Street Special coming out soon on DS, they're doing Dragon Quest/Warrior AND Mario/random Nintendo Mainstays.. If this was a a joint effort between Capcom/Activision, then yeah, some MM characters are nice as the fanbase is here, obviously, but you'd need to include other Capcom properties to make it finacially worthwhile.. Like some RE characters, Dead Rising, Street Fighter, that kind of thing. *shrug*

    @Bharman: Oh yeah, so would I, .. I just.. I guess I don't see the point on making a DVD cover for a game that won't ever exist and lousy artwork. I mean, it's like Mega Man Soccer or Command Mission. Yes, I OWN them. I bought them, am not giving them up. But on the other side of that same coin.. These ventures always end up being a huge bust for Capcom, mostly because it IS a risky venture, they do a half-ass job on it (CM being so short, MMSoccer not having an ENDING, etc), and then they wonder why these things flop. That's my problem. I mean, X8 was half-assed too in it's own right. Don't open up play as the female characters and then not give them a storyline. ....MM9 too with Proto Man, actually.
