Rockman Returneth!! Capcom Resurrects Rockman for Real!

They did it, they finally done it....and I'll tell you what....it's a good thing.

Yep, I hoped this was coming and they did it: Capcom is officially coming out with a new Rockman game that's officially a new game and not some release of sorts, Rockman 11 in particular. By the look of things, it looks like a sign that Capcom is truly turning over a new leaf after a string of very questionable decisions since this decade began and committed the equivalent of the Armenian genocide of gaming that is cancelling the anticipated Rockman Legends 3 game that rightly angered the Rockman fanbase for a good 6 years and counting. Speaking of which, with the 11th game coming out, Capcom outta owe the fanbase (and Legends fans like me) a favor and restart development of Legends 3 as an apology along with making the equivalent of the N Sane Trilogy for the first two Legends games (though I suppose a release of them on the current systems outside of PSN might suffice but that's another story for another time). That and maybe making a new kind of Rockman for another genre for curiosity's sake but again another story for another time.

Speaking of which, I'm quite surprised that the upcoming game is going to be in a 2.5D style instead of being sprite based in general, either in the classic 8 bit or in 16bit, but at least they look MUCH better than the artstyle of Mighty No. 9 of which that game was a bizzare bust so to say. And of course plays in the style of the last 10 Rockman games but I'm pretty sure there's plenty of room for new stuff to come along; that and it's a good thing I'm planning on playing the first Rockman game for the NES.

I don't know about you but I'm starting to have more respect for Capcom than I have for SNK, at least Capcom is doing the right thing. SNK on the other hand has yet to convince me that they're truly brining some badly needed umph to their non-fighter IPs, especially one concerning a certain Super Vehicle but I digress.
