Capcom announces a special new event for Mega Man's 25th anniversary!

I don't get why people are freaking out over this. It's just a Capcom Unity contest, what do you expect?
wait... Samus had a 25th?

Capcom ceases to amaze me...
Yes we are ruining their idea of a 25th Anniversary Celebration. By making the fans win the lottery. That's it.
We are ruining it? Just like we ruined Legends 3, right?

It's hard to be disappoint after the Mega Man Board Game.

Oh I am sorry is this event actually about the 25th Anniversary??? No other then them offering a 25th Anniversary Statue as a Prize this has nothing to do with the 25th Anniversary itself. The OP is making it out to be about the 25th Anniversary, Not Capcom.
So yes you are ruining it. As for Legends 3 it wasn't green lighted it wasn't even pre-alpha. 1000's of games like that go unnoticed all the time. The difference was Legends 3 was pushed so hard by its creator without it obviously going through the proper channels.
So the one at fault that is not Capcom but Inafune for not following protocols, simple as that.

See, the joke is that Capcom is offering a product related to the 25th anniversary of Mega Man during the 25th anniversary of Mega Man for a Mega Man game, therefore qualifying it as a 25th anniversary promotion.
We get something Mega Man related, allowing us fans a chance to experience another awkward attempt by Capcom to interact with fans when they have no direction for the series. It's a win-win.

This sounds really REALLY reminds me of a capcom unity post, what with the hostility towards megaman fans. Either way, Capcom themselves stated this.
This wasn't related to progress either, since the prototype, a $2 purchase, had a healthy amount of content, as the only journalist to play it discussed.

Yet it was cannibalized for resources and characters in EX Troopers, a game which heavily bombed (I think it sold less than 20,000 copies at launch). The game was cancelled out of spite for Inafune leaving Capcom.

Thats not a joke its a misconception to cause trouble where it was not needed.
Mega Man isn't important enough to kill the company. Sorry.
I lost my shit.

Wow... a Capcom apologist. I didn't think these guys still existed.
What is that from, btw?
Well he is a moderator on their forums.

Relax. You'll enjoy GAF more by not being so stuck up, friend.
We're not laughing at Capcom-Unity--we're merely appreciating the irony behind the whole situation. Being a moderator there doesn't give you power here.

well...i guess it's more exciting than that OST collection?

A fan being a moderator isn't uncommon, and it is easy to get there when you take you time to keep a logical mind on matters such as this.
Research and understanding goes a long way. Sadly I can not say the same for some of the responces here.
Except you don't understand why it's illogical for Capcom to cancel a close to complete quality budget digital offering (hell, it was going to be $2) that was understood by it's potential buyers to be a work in progress. It cost them more money to cancel it than it did to just ship as is. It was a spite cancellation.
A lot of people don't like when a company does something stupid and irrational that hurts their fans.

"Hey guys! How about a reminder of all those games you'd want? What? That Inafune game got shitloads of dollars? Nah, we don't need to let him make anymore games... have a statue contest!"
Hasn't stopped them before...

People want a new game and Capcom to not even utter the name Mega Man until it's announced. They also want it immediately. Any mention of the IP in the mean time is an insult to the fanbase.
I can only assume you haven't been following the development of games like Mega Man Universe and Legends 3. Yes, you can excuse them as much as you want when you don't have a clear idea of how things went down. I can imagine myself doing the same about a game I only just heard was canceled two years ago or so. For the actual fans though, you have no idea how disrespectful and disappointing this attitude has been. If you call them professional for taking such decisions, you're completely ignoring how amateur they come off by making a fool out of themselves to their audience.
At least Mighty No. 9 is still coming, and thankfully with fewer chances of being canceled, not being by Capcom and all.
I find this post pretty funny. Unless I somehow missed it, I don't see where he promoted his mod status at said forum and somehow implied he had any power. He's simply pointing out how dumb the comments in this thread are and the fact that it's just people who see a capcom thread and rush in to post how they wish capcom exploded.

I feel really bad for Mega Man fans.
Well, we don't know for sure if anything's in the works or not. Something could be coming, but that stuff takes time.

In all fairness, if any group of people would ever be justified in wishing Capcom exploded, it's Mega Man fans.

I'm just glad Mega Man's getting representation in the next Smash games. I love him to death, but it's time to move on with Mighty No. 9. Capcom in its current state has no idea what to do with our beloved Blue Bomber.
This is a huge overstatement if I ever saw one. No one wishes Capcom exploded. Predicting it? Maybe. But is this forbidden when the company has taken so many wrong decisions? But I digress. People are actually hoping Capcom finally gets serious about their other (non MonHun and SF) franchises. I can at least speak for myself when I say that I'm happy for games like Ace Attorney 5 and Strider and hoping this unusual support can continue with other widely requested IPs.
I see no unjustified hate or bias against Capcom in this thread. Just fans being angry about genuine, factual events.
Still better than Metroid's. It's why you should never believe anyone who says Other M was good. It was so bad that Nintendo cancelled Metroid's birthday.
