The actual new Ice Climbers is Lost Planet style, you know this to be true.

It will never mean more Megaman, if anything it will mean less.

Itsuno (And by extension the rest of the DMC4 team) still works for the company and that's all I need to care about Capcom.

Too bad you're never going to see another DMC game by that or any other team again. :v:

Says who? You and the myriad of other whiny goons who think a franchise dies because a game didn't sell well?

i want to believe, motherfuckeeeer

Platinum buys the DMC IP, the sons of Sparda go home to daddy Mikami

Mikami doesn't work for Platinum and I wouldn't want anyone from Platinum to handle DMC anyways.

Capcom has to announce a game first before it can be cancelled.

As long as Monster Hunter, SF, and RE are making Capcom the dolla dollas they'll be fine.

This is assuming that after MH in 2015 they will continue to bring the series over.

It'll still make money in Japan by itself like it always did. Yes though, bringing the games to the west will make them more of the dollar bills.

Megaman has only been a seller in the west. Even there it's debatable what part of it actually made money since only so many titles made or even broke a million and they are not shared between series'.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a Capcom developed game announced for TGS.

Ace Attorney 6 probably.

Yeah probably, Ace Attorney's on its big run right now and the Meiji Era game seems like a spin-off rather than a full blown thing. I'd say maybe a new fighter or god-willing DMC, but even Dragon's Dogma 2 would be cool.

Yeah, I think after AA5 met their expectations it's safe to say Capcom is gonna support western releases in the future. I mean the fact they distributed digitally only probated helped out quite a bit so they will probably be taking that approach in the future as well.

Layton Wright being released just now is Level 5's fault, not Capcom's.

According to Capcom's total sales unit data Megaman only moved about 30,000,000 units across 131 games and it doesn't actually specify which games made the money. Compare this to say Street Fighter with 35,000,000 spread across 77 titles, Resident Evil with 61,000,000 across 89 titles, and hell even DMC's 13,000,000 million is pretty impressive with the 19 titles that exist of it. Only reaching 30 mil while having the highest number of titles released is not a good thing.

Then again the fact that the Megaman games made 30 mil across all 131 games is shocking enough to me.

Here is the data for those curious
