Previews: Mega Man Star Force 2 Ryusei no Rockman 3 Mega Man Anniversary Collection (GBA)

Rumors: Mega Man X7 (GBA) Mega Man 9 Mega Man Extreme Mega Man Neo Mega Man V (GBC)

		NEW AND UPCOMING MEGA MAN GAMES

The following games are confirmed meaning Capcom has announced they are in development. They may still be canceled as sometimes happens, and so may never see the light of day, but they are at least not baseless rumors.

Note: Release dates and other information are subject to change.

Nintendo DS

• Mega Man Star Force 2
  [English release: June 2008]
  They decided on the word “Zerker” to stand for “Berserker” and they renamed “Shinobi” to “Ninja” (guess they decided “ninja” is more well-known to the English-speaking world—and they’re probably right.) Anyway, the two versions for this one will be Zerker X Ninja and Zerker X Saurian. Apparently this one will feature an Electric element this time, dropping the Water/Ice. There still appear to be three forms that you can utilize (Wood Ninja, Fire Saurian, and Electric Zerker), with the Zerker obviously being shared between the two versions.

• Ryusei no Rockman 3
  [Release: unknown]
  Amusingly enough, the Japanese site translates this “Shooting Star Rockman 3.” I suppose they figure that’s what the English version should have been called. Anyway, not much to say about this one yet except for a couple of new characters showing up in the promotion artwork that I’m not sure what to make of yet. (Now, if only Capcom of Japan would fix their search box...)

Game Boy Advance

• Mega Man Anniversary Collection (GBA)
  [English release: indefinite hold]
  I’m leaving this listing here for the time being even though Capcom has announced that it’s been put on indefinite hold. This one was originally called “Mega Man Mania” (but, of course, they couldn’t keep that title because it would be too un-confusing). It would be the first five Game Boy games ported to the Game Boy Advance...if it ever gets released.

		MEGA MAN GAME RUMORS

These are games which are rumored to exist or otherwise get asked about a lot, but are either (a) proven false (and are listed here for your information); (b) misnomers; or (c) titles for which I can find no official confirmation (meaning you may hear about them from unreliable sources, but Capcom itself has not mentioned them). In no particular order....

• Mega Man X7 (GBA): As far as I can tell, this is a complete screw-up on some store’s part, which listed this in their “upcoming releases” catalog and started a firestorm. There is no information about such a game on any of Capcom’s websites, even their Japanese one (Mega Man games come out in Japanese before they come out in English). And there is not likely to be a port of Mega Man X7 for the GBA considering the original is for the PlayStation 2 (and it’s in 3-D for crying out loud).
• Mega Man 9: This is a misnomer promoted mostly by the ROM crowd who decided to arbitrarily peg Rockman & Forte (which at the time didn’t have an English name) as “Mega Man 9.” Needless to say Mega Man 9 does not yet exist. Some people have asked if there is a Mega Man 9 in development, and thus far the answer is no, not to my knowledge.
• Mega Man Extreme: It’s “Xtreme.” Capcom spells funny. You won’t find anything on MMHP if you look for “Extreme.” I spell titles the way they are spelled in the game itself.
• Mega Man Neo: Mega Man Legends. This was the original title everyone used back when Legends was little more than a rumor. The name is now obsolete; however you may still see it floating around on archived websites and such. Note: I’m told there’s also a fan game named “Rockman NEO” which has nothing to do with Legends, but may also be causing some confusion.
• Mega Man V (GBC): It was posted in Nintendo Power that this game (which currently is a Super Game Boy game, which is slightly different than a Game Boy Color game) was going to be upgraded for Game Boy Color but apparently the project never saw the light of day. (Either that or the info was just plain wrong, which is not uncommon with gaming magazines.)
