Check back at the MML PSP thread, you'll see why he didn't say there would be none. If that "article"(read: Advertisment) said anything about Keiji or DASH!(which it didn't), it wasn't about him cancelling it. And we kinda need the Zero series for Legends to fit in. The events in RMZ4 almost tie it in, RMZ4 started the tie in if you examine it close enough

RMZ 4 I've only played up to RMZ2, and will probably NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER get past the first area, unless it happens to be a zillion times easier than the first two games. I'm a sniper at heart, so that z-sabre is always a pain for me to use, and the z-buster just plain stinks compared to Mega Man's. But, if RMZ4 is starting to tie into DASH, it would make sense for IntiCreates to start wondering about a sequel...maybe if enough about DASH is released in RMZ, fans of THAT series would start wanting to know what happens next (in DASH), and try and get their hands on the title. Come on, Keiji--2007's not THAT far away, you know!!!

lol, good luck with that one. MMX5 was supposed to be the tie in with the Zero series, but they kept that going. If there's some connection, there's a chance that they may make more DASH, but they'll keep the story going and we'll have another stupid inconsistant mess on our hands.
..and from what I've heard, it definitely has a long way to go before Zero ties into DASH, anyway. more than 3000 years. ..which makes me wonder, will the early system shtuff be in the end of the Zero series, or a prequel DASH game....??

I think the pre-system stuff will be in another one of Trigger's "flashbacks." I certainly hope they'd be playable.

I honestly think Keiji Inafune should retire from Rockman and Tatsuya Kitibayashi should take over. With the exception of perhaps X7 (which wasn't too bad considering the giant step it took), Tatsuya's games have been more detailed, plot-focused, and fun to play than Inafune's.
And another thing is that Tatsuya actually gets involved with the game at all levels. Inafune just says what he wants done and puts his stamp of aproval. I'm not saying this is his fault, since it can't be easy to juggle back and forth between different series that he is working on (Onimusha, Zelda, EXE, Zero, etc.). But Tatsuya is far more dedicated to Rockman in specific. And with gems such as X8 and Command Mission, I feel Tatsuya has more than proved himself worthy of taking over the Rockman Series. That's my opinion anyway...

Completely off topic
Command Mission, and X8 Gems??? I can't say anything about them myself since I haven't played them, but most of the reviews of them weren't that good. I can't remember, but I think Capcom ran out of Mavericks names, Burn rooster or something like that, which is pretty messed up in my book. I do know that X8 uses frustration as a difficulty factor, requiring you to memorize each part of the level, to avoid spikes and ect. I always hated the instant death on the old ones too. The X series since X3 I think has been geared toward a more specific audience of MegaMan fans, which I am not a part of, so I really can't see myself liking the newer X games. For the Hard Core MegaMan X fan, I can truly believe that they love the games, since it has all the stuff they want.
On topic
I think that Keiji inafune should be the person who makes MML3, since he created the first 2 and I think MOTB, but thats my personal opinion also.

X8 got a great review from PSM. They called it "What X7 should have been" and they commented that "long-time fans of the series have finally gotten what they have waited for and deserve."
Command Mission also got a decent review, but not as good as X8. Still, 7.5/10 isn't too bad. And considering the crap we've been getting, I'd say it's still one hell of an improvement.
I don't know about the so-called official PS Magazine, but I really don't care, since they're all about fads and publicity. PSM delivers the facts, the pros, the cons, and the details, about every game. Granted, some things weren't perfect (such as not being able to duck in X8), but overall the games were still great. I hihgly recommend you give them both a try.

I don't know, because I hated Command Mission and X8. Command Mission was just...I don't know, kind of weird to me...and X8 was nothing I hadn't seen before in the X series. I don't think the X series was the best one to use for making a Rockman RPG, but that's just me. I mean, if it had been a LEGENDS RPG it would have made more sense, because you feel more involved in the plot and you get to relate to the characters a little better, but with X, it just seems sort of...strange.

I don't get why people complain about these games. They where both a good effort and satisfied me and many. Ofcourse it wasn't anything you hadn't see in other X games. Megaman 7 wasn't anything we hadn't seen in a MM game and we still loved it. I think the X series is being judged unfairly now a days. Before it use to be the series that everyone praised no matter what but now it seems like its making up for missed time by being bashed in every which way. How are you going to give Alien Hominid(SP?) an 8.0 for it being an old school bash. And then give X8 a 6.0 for being to old fashion and unwilling to get with the times.

I'm not trying to bash the MMX series, I just never liked it in the first place (with the exception of MMX4 because that Iris-Zero thing was classic). There is a difference, right? I mean, I've actually PLAYED these games and I never really enjoyed them. That isn't bashing, that's just my opinion of the series...I think.

If that is the case, your judgment is automatically biased from the perspective of someone who dislikes the X series. Of course, mine is also biased from the exact oposite perspective, which is why I brought up independent reviews as an example.

Well I guess if you never liked it to begin with your opinion doesn't mean much as far as judgeing how good an X game it is.

I disagree. Regardless of whether you don't like the series as a whole, I think if you've actually PLAYED all the games, your opinion is fair game. My 2 cents.
Of course, I haven't played X8 or Command Mission(no PS2) - well actually I played a little bit of both on display in stores -, but they both seem pretty amazing to me, and if that effort were to be channelled into Legends I think it would be all for the better. Of course, if different management or whatever meant that the story would seriously be screwd with, then absolutely not, but yeah, ya know.. XCM and X8 seemed pretty solid.
Of course, my opinion is pretty much null. lol

Well, that's why places like GameSpot and GameFAQs and all those game magazines usually give multiple reviews by different people for every game--so you can get all sorts of feedback from different people who have different tastes. One review alone doesn't say much, but when you take a bunch of reviews and stick them all together, you get a pretty good idea of what the game's like.

I'd like a little more confirmation on that "information" before I accept it as verified.
Also, CAMPcom does occasionally take risks on games that will make little or no money, although these are few and far between (the original Mega Man was one of those). For instance, Killer7 was something of a critical darling which had little sales success, and the just-released Beat Down is another game which is not a sequel.
Admittedly, these games are nothing like the ones in the MML series, so that doesn't necessarily apply, but my point is that not everything Capcom churns out is a sequel or rehash. In this, case, I guess, we want it to be a sequel, so apparently I'm just talking circles around myself.
Anyways, I think these characters had enough staying power in Japan to make another game in the series worth thinking about, especially with all the cameos and references in the Battle Network games. Plus, at some point, they just gotta give it a rest.
