Mega Man has really run the gamut when it comes to the wide variety of games which have come out based on the franchise. Apparently, the well has not yet run dry, as Capcom is currently developing a Mega Man concept that could be an unexpected surprise.
In the upcoming sixth episode of our Bit Transmission podcast, we asked Capcom's Seth Killian what might be next for the series. In response, he gave us a delightful tease, saying that the series still has, "some surprises in store for everybody."
It's good. I don't want to say nobody has seen it coming. Somebody may have seen it coming. But it excited me and when I heard about the project, I was like, 'Holy crap. That's rad.' I actually haven't seen anything that's going on with the project right now but the idea was exciting.
This is still kicking around as a concept. But there are exciting ideas in the Mega Man space.
You'll be able to hear our complete interview with Seth when Bit Transmission releases on Wednesday. In the meantime, we demand your wild speculation. What could Capcom be up to with Mega Man?

I will be satisfied if Pharaoh Man gets his own game as well.
Or
well yeah, "Legends 3" or some 3d type mega man running on MTframework
DO IT, CAPCOM.
Metroid worked exceptionally well because the act of exploring lends itself to 3d PoV nicely.
Mega Man thrives on character design and some high standards of 2d action. I lovebeing proven wrong when fun is involved, making an FPS out Mega Man breaks both if those rad things about the series.
IMO of course
Fav series evar. If not and FPS Mega Man sounds cool. But better be better than Metroid Prime.
WHAT ELSE COULD BE MORE RAD?!?!
If Capcom makes a Mega Man FPS to tap into the deep sci fi narrative of the originals, I will come yalls houses and void the warranties on your mattresses...
NERDGASM!!

Or Megaman Legends 3. I'd be happy with that.
