Mega Man just ain’t as lucrative as Street Fighter, Monster Hunter and Resident Evil.

OG and X are too old, nobody cares about these characters because they haven't been relevant in 30 years, and they suffer from success because too many indie platformers have ripped them off and done it better.

Battle Network was never good, it just convinced a bunch of kids that it was with "cool" character designs and collect-'em-all mechanics. Even the indie games that tried to rip off the battle system were unsuccessful.

Zero is pretty much done, the games were never great and there are simply too many 2D action indie side-scrollers for it to compete.

Ironically Legends could be huge if they made a big action-RPG with the classic cel-shading which is so in right now. But they would have to remake the first two games and revive Legends 3 which will never happen.

Nah it just ran its course

Turns out people don't mind less games that are higher quality instead of literal hundreds of churned out slop
