Why don't they call it "Mega Man 12"?
>>746639419This is what Capcom said about that>There are a lot of fans that know Mega Man as a series but of course by not adding the number it allows the game to feel more accessible to players who are new to the series. So instead of thinking 'oh, I have to play all eleven previous entries', it's a brand new entry for players to come in and enjoy. Also the game is meant to be introducing a lot of new features and elements for the Mega Manseries as well, so we figured let's innovate with the naming as well as the features.
>>746639419a subtitle is more welcoming to newbies
Capcom is moving away from numbered entries for their franchises because its off putting to newcomers, RE Requiem is technically RE9
I'm still annoyed that Megaman 9 and 10 are numbered series despite being downgrades visually (Not bad but it's whiplash going from 8 to 9). They should have started the alt titles then.
And you know, technically, TECHNICALLY they've all had alt titles!!>Dr Wily's Secret >The End of Dr Wily>New Ambition>Blues' Trap>The Greatest Battle of All Time!!>Showdown of Destiny>Metal Heroes>The Ambition's Revival!!>Threat from Outer Space>Gears of Fate
>>746639419Because to somebody not into the series yet it implies they should play 11 other games first which may be a deterrent It's not immediately obvious you can start anywhere with classic MM
>>746639779?Where did you find this
>>746640049I read it on the title screen.
>>746639419i miss zero, bros...
>>746640049Japanese versions of the classic titles have always had subtitles since 2, but they simply dropped those for western releases.
Because it's a cheap, quick and ugly cashgrab.
>>746639779The 6 and 7 titles sound like the classic series was going to end right then and there
>>746640919I don't think I will ever miss Zero wank.
>>746641032MM6 has the whole world robot tournament thing, so it's kind of referring to that.
>>746639484>>There are a lot of fans that know Mega Man as a series but of course by not adding the number it allows the game to feel more accessible to players who are new to the seriesis it really that big of a deal if every game is>fight 8 robot masters>storm wily's castle/it was wily all along>kick wily's ass until he's on his knees>you beated the game!!!!
