Capcom’s Recent Mega Man Statement Contradicted by Its Actions

Oh man, where do we even begin with Mega Man and Capcom? So they just dropped a bomb, right? Said Mega Man is still one of their top priorities or something. But, let’s be real, it’s been like seven years since we saw a new game. Fans are yelling, frustrated, all that jazz. It’s like saying you love pizza but haven’t had a slice in years. Yeah, I don’t get it either.

Mega Man’s got this legendary status, right? Like, the old games still make people go, “Whoa, side-scrolling genius!” They blew our kid minds on the NES back in ’87. Those games? Pure nostalgia. Over 43 million copies sold—from main games, spin-offs, to mobile versions. Like, total madness. Yet, here we are, twiddling thumbs with no new mainline game. Cue the collective facepalm from the community.

So, Capcom had this big shareholder meeting—sounds boring but wait—they said the company’s thinking about where Mega Man goes next. But guess what? Nada on actual plans. Fans shouted back, “C’mon, we’ve been waiting!” It’s like when someone’s teasing a surprise but then just leaves you hanging. Not cool, right?

Meanwhile, Capcom’s other titles are just killing it. Resident Evil? Over 170 million copies—insane. Monster Hunter? A whopping 120 million. But Mega Man? Ghost town vibes. Yet, it’s Capcom’s third bestseller. Some folks think there’s a secret project brewing. Could be, or maybe just wishful thinking.

Oh, and let’s not forget their other shiny toy: Resident Evil Requiem. Coming soon in February 2026. Gonna hit us with new scares. At least we’re getting new Resident Evil stuff. And updates for Monster Hunter Wilds, fixing PC bugs, and all that. So hey, Capcom’s juggling, but where’s our Blue Bomber love?

Mega Man’s still got fans out here waiting, hoping, dreaming. Let’s see if Capcom decides to toss us a bone. Or maybe they just enjoy the suspense. Who knows? Life of a gamer, right?
