4	* How many fans are you willing to bet were happy when most found out ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' was {{retraux}}?
5	** ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'' is gonna be {{retraux}}, too, so they're probably going to [[CashCowFranchise spoil it]] [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks agai-]] Wait, [[EnsembleDarkhorse PROTO MAN's]] playable ''ALONGSIDE'' Mega?!
6	-->''I don't think you'll be able to do this '''alone'''...''
7	* ''VideoGame/MegaManX2'' had the fans start feeling the CapcomSequelStagnation on ''Mega Man'' as a whole, ''X3'' '''had''' to add something new: Zero as a '''playable character!'''
8	* Even with franchise creator Keiji Inafune at the helm, ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' also once received a lot of flak, starting with the [[YouDontLookLikeYou dramatic design changes]] for Zero... until fans start hearing Zero's ''original'' {{leitmotif}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reARSs1PAmQ again!]]
9	* ''[[http://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/2010/06/first-rockman-online-details-surface.html Rockman Online]]'' was thought by fans to be just another ''Mega Man X'' game...until they learned there was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnunSRIyqWs a reason]] the game is called that instead of ''Rockman X Online''. Yes, classic ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man\|Classic}}'' characters get involved at last, and it appears the character design is influenced by Hitoshi Ariga's ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'', which in itself was a DarkerAndEdgier take on the Classic series to begin with.
10	** As of the second trailer and press event the rejoicing continued. Reveals included [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the three Rockman Killers]], [[MemeticMutation internet sensations Flame Hyena and Air Man]], [[UnexpectedCharacter Command Mission characters; Scarface, Cinnamon, and]] [[MsFanservice Ferham]], and longtime fan favorites Pharaoh Man and Sting Chameleon. Neo Wiz seems well on their way to stabling every [[EnsembleDarkhorse darkhorse]] in both series.
11	* 2013 saw his GuestFighter appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU''
12	** Additionally, [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/2013/06/27/sakurai-discusses-the-reasoning-behind-mega-mans-ssb-appearance/ many]] [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/2013/07/01/a-peek-at-yellow-devil-in-super-smash-bros/ comments]] [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/2013/06/17/getting-mega-man-into-smash-bros-was-easy-says-sakurai/ in]] [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/2013/06/14/thoughts-musings-and-other-ponderings-on-mega-man-in-super-smash-bros/ the]] ''MM'' fansite [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/ "Mega Man Network"]] regarding the ''Smash''-verse Mega Man said that Creator/MasahiroSakurai [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/2013/07/11/super-smash-bros-pic-of-the-day-mega-buster-go/ "nailed it",]] and the [[ShownTheirWork amount of research]] put into the character shows that, at the very least, Nintendo is working hard into giving the Capcom mascot the respect he deserves.
13	** Mega Man's [[LimitBreak Final Smash]]? The Blue Bomber teams up with [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]], [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends Volnutt]], [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork .EXE]], and the ''[[VideoGame/MegaManStarForce Star Force]]'' Mega Man (no sign of Zero or the ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZX ZX]]'' Mega Men, though) [[http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--kxloVTWL--/c_fit,fl_progressive,w_636/671351135625224852.gif for a 5-man Charge Shot.]]
14	** And it all stays for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate!'' Not only that, but [[VideoGame/MegaManX Ze]][[VideoGame/MegaManZero ro]] is an Assist Trophy! ''And'' they have songs from the other series!
15	* [[http://www.destructoid.com/archie-comics-teases-more-mega-man-x-goodness-269786.phtml This teaser image,]] right here, is what fans have been wanting to see explored for years now; an official Classic/''X'' series crossover!
16	* Revealed on the first day of Capcom Cup 2016: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oeaFA1l09E X IS BACK]] as the first face we see in the reveal of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite''!
17	* ''Mega Man Legacy Collection 1'' and ''2'' finally coming to the Nintendo Switch with amiibo was nice, and all eight main ''Mega Man X'' games getting a new collection was even better, but ''Mega Man''[='=]s 30th Anniversary gives us '''''VideoGame/MegaMan11'''''?! [[TwoAndAHalfD And it's not a 8-bit retro game!?]] Capcom hasn't given up on the Blue Bomber after all!
18	* So, anybody here ever heard of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsXOmega''? Mobile game that's part of the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' franchise, no? Infamous for including series' that don't count as HumongousMecha anime or even series in a franchise that's usually a crossover between many HumongousMecha anime, no? [[https://twitter.com/srw_xomg/status/940907919448485888 GOING TO FEATURE MEGA MAN AS ONE OF SAID SERIES FOR A LIMITED TIME, NO?!]]
19	* Shame there's no accessible way of playing ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man\|Classic}}: The Wily Wars'' in today's generation since the Sega Channel is long dead and [=AtGame=]'s Portable Genesis Player containing the game has shoddy emulation. Oh well, time to a way to emul--wait, [[https://gematsu.com/2019/05/sega-genesis-mega-drive-mini-titles-21-to-30-announced IT'S GONNA BE INCLUDED]] WITH THE UPCOMING OFFICIAL SEGA GENESIS MINI, THE ONE THAT [=M2=] ARE ALSO WORKING ON!? THANK YOU, SEGA, [=M2=], ''AND'' CAPCOM!
20	** Even better: it was [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/blog/2019/5/16/mega-man-the-wily-wars-finally-comes-home-in-north-america-on-sega-genesis-mini confirmed]] that it will be the 60Hz NTSC release of the game instead of the 50Hz PAL release for the North American Genesis Mini! Mega Man equipped with Blast Processing, baby!
21	*** And it doesn't end there. Thanks to adjustments made by M2, there's even less slowdown than the original 60 Hz versions of the game.
22	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTmTXonIRao&t=1 And as of June 30, 2022]], Wily Wars is now playable on the NSO Sega Genesis in case if one missed out or didn't care about buying the Sega Genesis Mini. It's still locked under the Expansion Pass, but it's the first time the game has gotten a digital rerelease.
23	* Too bad we're probably not gonna see a "Legacy Collection" of the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZX ZX]]'' games anytime soon, and to make things even worse is the fact that Inti Creates were the ones the developed those games and they've gone indie, making it harder to get their permission to do something like that. Oh well, might as well search online for used copies of the games on the D--WHAT, YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ''A [[CompilationRerelease LEGACY COLLECTION]]'' [[https://gematsu.com/2019/08/mega-man-zero-zx-legacy-collection-announced-for-ps4-xbox-one-switch-and-pc OF THOSE GAMES]] FOR [=PS4=], Xbox One, Switch, ''AND'' PC??? TAKE, MY, MONEYYY!!!
24	** Even better: remember the dual-slot feature from ''Mega Man ZX'' where you can fight the ''Mega Man Zero 3'' and ''4'' bosses in that game? Yeah, [[https://www.rockman-corner.com/2019/10/bonus-cards-and-link-mode-confirmed-for.html it's coming back]] for this collection, along with the [=eReader=] card bonuses for ''Mega Man Zero 3'' from the previous DS collection!
25	* Shame that Capcom didn't do much to celebrate the 20th anniversary of [[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Battle Network]] due to- Wait, THERE'S AN ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION, WITH ALL 10 GAMES? AND THE PET FUNCTION IS BACK TOO? I NEED IT NOW!
26	** Even better: the ''VideoGame/{{Boktai}}'' crossover content is confirmed to be returning too- and ALL of it is available for western territories, ''including'' those that were originally unavailable (such as the Count's scenario in ''[=BN6=]'')! About the only thing missing would be Double Team DS' changes (i.e. voice acting).
