Mega "Oh Man"

[Mic_128]

<p align="center">One of the more popular ideas for a 3rd party character that falls into the likely catagory is Megaman. He’s been around since the NES days and has appeared in over 100 games since 1987. The only problem is <a href="http://www.bioniccommando.com/en/downloads/view/49/1">this issue</a> of the <a href="http://www.bioniccommando.com/en/downloads/view/49/1">Bionic Commando Podcast.</a></p>
<!--more-->
<p align="center">Keiji Inafune, creater of Megaman, and head of Capcoms R&amp;D was interviewed, and asked about Megaman in Brawl.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="center">Well, I really do love Super Smash Brothers. It’s a great series…but, Nintendo hasn’t asked me yet if they can use Mega Man in their game. I’m still waiting…we have a little bit of time left, it’s not coming out for another few months. They might get around to asking us if we’d like to put Mega Man in Super Smash Brothers. Maybe if somebody from Nintendo is listening to this podcast, they’ll give me a call.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="center">If this is true, and he has yet to be contacted by Nintedo about using Megaman, unless they’ve already made him and just need permission, they’re going to want to ask him soonish as time’s running out before it’s January 24th launch in Japan, if it hasn’t already.</p>

[Phaazoid]

lol, poor megaman fans

 

[47drift]

I wish that Inafune would just pull a Kojima and ask Nintendo if they can put a character in... I mean... Look how that turned out! Snake's in Brawl!

DO IT FOR THE FANS INAFUNE! OHPLEAZ

 

[Uchiha.Sanosuke]

Nintendo, what are you thinking?!?

Megaman is one of the most recognizable video game characters in the world. How could you not think to put him in? I actually can't think of better player to fill the third party spot.

This is madness.

Spoiler

I'm being serious, don't anyone dare make a 300 reference here.

 

[47drift]

Oh also, I almost died laughing when they started singing Okkusenman.

 

[AniMaL 214]

this is a disaster mayb they did it without his permission cuz sakurais a badass

 

[AllanT]

well i didnt care about his inclusion too much... bye bye megaman.

 

[AniMaL 214]

if megaman doesnt get in Geno definetly doesnt deserve to

 

[darkhamsterlord]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Megaman had high chances.. I REALLY HOPE THAT HE'S ALREADY MADE, AND THEY JUST NEED PERMISSION!!

If Megaman's not in Brawl, I'll be a sad panda..

 

[Flamesamurai]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Swarm The Nintendo Websites Mass Suicide Is The Only Way Too Make Them Listen!!!!!

 

[Vicious Delicious]

I found it humorously ironic that I was listening to John Lennon's 'Imagine' as I opened this thread

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Spoiler

Not like I supported him...sorry?

 

[Kirbykrew]

Well, this stinks. It also raises the chance for Geno for 3rd 3rd party and also Olimar, if Icon Theory be true.

This is madness.

Spoiler

THIS IS SPARTA!

 

[KingKraken]

This made my day. This totally leaves room for other 3rd party characters.

 

[Machspeed]

Woot for Geno.
Was hoping Megaman and Geno could coexist in Brawl but,

 

[limitbreak]

this is a disaster mayb they did it without his permission cuz sakurais a badass

haha lets hope so

 

[mas369]

Well, seeing the smaller character groups getting destroyed by the Dojo, i only suspected that at least one of the big dogs would have been taken down as karmatic justice. But, this could only be the beginning of big characters being decomfirmed. I have a feeling that a certian blue fox lady will be next, or a big dragon-taracdactole-awsome-thing, or Captian Falcon

 

[WaterTails]

Is it sad that I almost cried when I read this on Gfaqs earlier tonight?

 

[AniMaL 214]

its an interview how much can we go by if all interviews are true. then sheiks in an animal crossing character is in nd so is sheik ganondorf and luigi

 

[Xsyven]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

 

[Mic_128]

its an interview how much can we go by if all interviews are true. then sheiks in an animal crossing character is in nd so is sheik ganondorf and luigi

There has never been any interviews that have said any of those things.

Kojima always wins. ALWAYS!

Obviously Sakurai is being a moron. If he wants the most popular character left, Megaman would be it. Not just has the dojo failed since Stage Builder, but now so does this news. It doesn't deconfirm Megaman, but it badly hurts his chances.

I wonder if Inafune pulled a Anouma (where he puts in a Megaman character model), and they deny it, as they already have him in. That'd be GOLD!

Nintendo won't make anywhere near as much money with any other character in Brawl then with Megaman. He's the PERFECT CHOICE!

And if Megaman isn't in Brawl, what makes you think Geno will=??? Geno is nowhere as big as Megaman, and Sakurai wouldn't go out of his way for Geno. The only chance he would have would be if Square Enix pulled a Kojima, or put Geno in front of Nintendo. Megaman first for the classicness, the reconizability, the cult fanbase, and the popularity, Geno for the retro aspect, and the cult fanbase. If Megaman isn't in-my fellow Geno fans need to worry about Geno's chances A LOT!

And nothing OUTSIDE OF THE DOJO deconfirms a character, at all. Unless Nintendo says so!

And keep hating on Megaman and Megaman will do crazy ****e to you. Like be confirmed, and then I'll laugh at your pain. We call it karma.

 

[Homelessvagrant]

Dude I feel sorry for the Mega man fans

 

[AniMaL 214]

There has never been any interviews that have said any of those things.

the one with the creator af anmal crossing they mention they came up with a character the one with the people that work on zelda games about the design of sheik and ganondorf and the one interview of that guy that said luigi was in....

anyways i wonder what made sakurai hold off from asking so long

 

[Sun-Wukong]

This is madness. I'm being serious, don't anyone dare make a 300 reference here.

This is Sparta? *gets shot*

 

[pcamtz]

Has anyone stopped to consider that he may be LYING? I mean, if Megaman is in the game, the creator wouldn't be shouting it from the roof would he? And Nintendo should have told him to keep it quiet, because this would be very important and they probably are planning the announcement for like... Christmas? IDK. But you certainly didn't hear Sonic Team saying here and there "Sonic will be in Brawl!", they announced him at a certain event the night before his update.

And when was this podcast anyway?, maybe there was enough time as he stated. Was this before the delay? Cause Megaman sure is important enough to delay a game!

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

^^^^
And that's all I have to say about this.

Please Sora and Co. I'm begging you. Make Megaman SUPERDUPERREALLYEXTRA fast (yet thoroughly and efficiently) and then contact Inafune ASAP!

Megaman, more than any other 3rd Party character in the world, deserves to be in Brawl.

 

[Geist]

Keiji Inafune sounded so left out in that interview. He was depressed enough to make me giggle with indifference. =S




Anyways, don't you people know Megaman isn't going to be in brawl because they're leaving his big 2008 debut to the movie?

lol.

 

[Starphoenix]

People, calm down and realize something...

I am not too worried about this, remember back in May when Sega said, "Sonic was not on the cards at the moment" and what 5 months later guess what, he is in. Inafune was clever with his wording, he did not say he wasn't in, he said "He has not been contacted."
He plulled a political move, to the untrained ear it sounds like he's out but really he skated around the question. Now he could also be lying, it is not the first time we have been lied too, Sega did it as well with the issue of Sonic being in Brawl. I think Inafune was pulling a Sega on us, notice his last statement, "we have a little bit of time left, it’s not coming out
for another few months. They might get around to asking us if we’d like to put Mega Man in Super Smash Brothers. Maybe if somebody from Nintendo is listening to this podcast, they’ll give me a call." Two things can be derived from this,

1) This was done BEFORE the delay.
2) He is also further clarifying that this sentence is a neither
confirm nor deny statement.

According to another website called thenproject.com, they claimed that a few weeks before the delay Nintendo and Capcom finished a deal for Megaman in Brawl, and that it might be delayed to further work this out. Obviously by the way this statement was done it was a prior Brawl delay interview, however I think NINTENDO wanted this released now to kinda get peoples hopes down so they can turn around and suprise us with Megaman.

Just my thought, after the Sega interview about Sonic in Brawl I have come to not believe any person outside of Sakurai on these things.


YOUKO if you are listening, PLEASE bring this up in Show Me Your News, people need ALL the facts. And the fact is, Sega lied about Sonic in Brawl, Capcom may be doing the SAME THING!

 

[Kirbykrew]

This is Sparta? *gets shot*

I already beat you to it.

 

[Reckoning A16]

I really hate to see Mega Man deconfirmed.. (don't freak out on me saying he isn't, your just in denial), I mean I really thought he was gonna make it, mario + sonic + mega man all in one game = Epic!!!!
If Geno is in though I think I might go crazy because that is just wrong, haveing Geno in over Megaman.. come on..
If ANYONE is to take up the *last* 3rd party slot, it SHOULD be Sora or Bomberman, even though I have never played a Bomberman quest he is wanted in brawl. But ya, if i see another Mario related person besides Luigi join brawl... sigh...well again I would probably go crazy and bomb Nintendo.

 

[AniMaL 214]

Starphoenix thank you so much. This made me feel alot better about it.

 

[Jumpinjahosafa]

I just hope they don't put someone dumb like Lucario or Geno or K. Rool instead...

 

[Reckoning A16]

Sonic interview does not = Mega Man interview, and by that I mean the guy talking about sonic was being really sketchy, he was unsure..
But this time around, the Designer of Mega Man said straight up...NO!

 

[AniMaL 214]

depends if they mean a few months before december or a few months before february that point right there is keyyyyyyyy

 

[Crooked Crow]

Let's hope a month is enough time to add in a new character.
Yays for the delay?

 

[Black/Light]

This was said in either Dec 16th or at that mm event which wasn't the real b-day.

Either way Im sad cause, as we know, the devs of the 3rd party character also work on things in brawl so I don't see them whipping out a character in a few weeks time. . .

 

[FalcoDude12]

FINALLY! no more mega-man But hoping for cloud strife from kingdom hearts chain of memories or Sigfried from Soul calibur legends.

 

[Lucina Clash]

Has Rock really been rolled out? Don't take the newest news to heart; there was no "OUT OF BRAWL!" commentary. I'd like to see him get in. I would want X, but classic Rock would do.

 

[Reckoning A16]

I am not welcoming another delay to get a 3rd party character in if that character is Mega man, i like him more then i love him, so not worth it..Sonic and Sora are a different story though
