To just recap things for you:

>Megaman Legends 3 is announced, Megaman fans all buy 3DSs to get it, Megaman Legends 3 cancelled
>Megaman Universe announced, later gets cancelled due to "various circumstances"
>Street Fighter x Tekken announces Megaman DLC, the result of which is a portrayal of Bad Box Art Megaman from MM1

>25th Anniversary comes up
>Capcom announces something new
>the result is Rockman Xover, a shitty iPhone flash game

It's been really bad.

There is hope, though, with Megaman being added to the new Super Smash Bros. game.


I personally hope this DLC fails, and fails hard, and that Capcom dies. Maybe they'll sell off their properties and Megaman can go to a good company/

Mix. Many felt it was too retro for them and we are in an era where a 15 - 21 year old has no idea what Ducktales is. Many thought it was just a game and had no idea a TV show was attached to it. It hasn't bombed but it isn't a success either, and for both Disney and Capcom standards it might as well be a bomb.

No one cares about source code for old games except the company that produced them (and sometimes not even that company; see S-E) and the fans of said games. No telling they'd even be able to find buyers. A lot of it, especially for more niche stuff, could just be trashed.

Funny you should bring Sega up.The only difference between Sega and Capcom is the blunders Capcom has always been very money focus while Sega (and THQ) were careless with there earnings and made so many big blunders in a row it killed them.

Nothing of value will be lost.

Mikami's got his own studio with a sweet publishing deal at Bethesda, and is reviving true survival horror within the next year.

Inafune's got his own team backed by his fans and is making his games on his terms, without Capcom weighing him town.

Clover lives on already as Platinum.

The only studios that are likely to really be affected are the guys on the Street Fighter team, but I'm sure they'll come out of it fine.

Capcom's a lot like Square-Enix in that they're just a hollow name now, while 90% of the talent that made that name what it is has left.

Anyway, my favorite Capcom games would actually be the Zeldas they made in conjunction with Nintendo. In my opinion, the Oracles are better than ALttP.

>Halo 4

Disgusting.
When they wanted to make new, alien weapons, they got told to make the same old shit because the CoD crowd would be confused by actually new weapons.
Same would happen to that game.

And in 6 years they still haven't made anything even resembling Okami or God Hand quality.

Don't talk about things you don't even understand.
Stick to CRT and scanlines threads, they're more suited for people like you.

lol, what a shameful reputation /crt/ has gained for itself according to you

then again, i'm not sure you're not one of the dummies that keeps trying to post stupid and wrong stuff in those threads only to be stuffed in the face, so...

People donating up to 200 or 300 bucks to fund potential vaporware before they usually have so much as a gameplay video is not sustainable. It's a lot more likely they'll get burned (either hate the game and get buyer's remorse, the game doesn't turn out to be what it advertises or doesn't come out at all) and the consequences for getting burned are worse monetarily. Once they get burned they're likely to refrain from participation in KS.
