If a trademark is any indication, Mega Man Universe just might be the "rad" direction Capcom is taking the Blue Blomber.
Siliconera dug up the trademark today, only a day after we reported comments by Capcom's Seth Killian hinting at the future of the Mega Man series. On an upcoming episode of the Bit Transmission podcast, Killian says the upcoming Mega Man title will surprise fans.
"I actually haven't seen anything that's going on with the project right now," he says, "but the idea was exciting. This is still kicking around as a concept. But there are exciting ideas in the Mega Man space."
By "space," Seth, did you mean... universe, by any chance?

Mega Man in the Mega Man X universe? Nice.
Mega Man Volnutt in the Battle Network universe? Fuck yeah.
How bout a mega man world where you design your own mega man. The spirit of that is SO already there
this is awesome
It is the greatest of times in my head.
I think it'd come off alot like Star Wars prequels. Lots of winking and smiling at the camera about what's about to happen in X, which they kind of already do anyway in 9 and 10.
Just feels like that story's already been told in a very vague, passing sort of way. Expanding it would... kinda suck, I think.
But yeah, like te prequels, it would be kinda fun to watch...
Whatever it is, so long as it has traditional Mega Man twitch + strategy gameplay, I'd be game. I love the core Mega Man games. The first Mega Man X or two are great as well (although, I feel slower and more plodding of a pace). I really haven't played some of the fiddly new ones, so I can't comment, but I am not sure if some of the mechanics are what *I* personally would want from a Mega Man. But something new with the same platforming, selecting weapons and items to get you through in unique ways (beyond the bosses... I love how some weapons are more effective against different regular enemies and level obstacles), and great level and enemy design, I'd go for that!
But actually what may be awesome would be a well-executed multiplayer (a la New Super Mario Bros Wii) with 2+ players. Although it would complicate level design with the vertical, Rush-based, hoverboard thing, I think it would be really awesome if you can have Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass (Forte) all on the screen at once busting it up (each with their separate skills and weaknesses), trading weapons with each other, and generally trying to develop complex strategies to get through levels and defeat bosses as a team.
Just thinking...
Choice characters from around the megaman universe, all poised for battle, in a tvc/mvc setting.
an mmo would be extremely odd for them to pull off, either way i hope its something awesome
Where is Mega Man Legends 3? God damn you CAPCOM!!
Please don't be an MMO...
Then I thought Super Megaman Galaxy as well. I hope to the almighty video game gods that Capccom knows what they're doing (I'm sure they do).
THANK YOU
If it was 8 bit, I'm not sure the "Massively Multiplayer" part could be defined too well. I could see a classic Mega Man game working with online co-op, but not with more than a party of 4. The screen just couldn't fit that many.
Holy shit. Megaman meets Castle Crashers or 4 Swords would be tight, too.
Also, Legends 3 would be nice, an HD Remix of the original MMX would be awesome, too...but bringing back Power Fighters as a MvC-style massive-roster dream game would rule. Imagine having over 80 boss robots and adding that to the cast of MM, PM, Roll, Bass, Auto, Wily...man, that shit would rock...Man.
WATCH.
Sounds like it to me.
