Is it weird that my first thought when I heard about this was "I thought Capcom didn't care about Mega Man anymore?"

Lets hope it's a good show. It's more than likely going to be aimed at children and pre teens but let's hope it's the start of a good comeback

Basing it on X instead of the original would be a big improvement IMHO, if for no other reason than the visual designs.

Plus you know, then you can have Zero.

Or base it on Mega Man Zero. IntiCreates killed Zero off so they wouldn't have to make another one (yet went on to make Mega Man ZX, go figure), but I feel like there's a ton of story material between Zero 3 and Zero 4... or even between Zero 2 and Zero 3.

Hey, Inafune tried to kill Zero off a couple of times in the X series. Capcom wouldl't ever let it stick.

I'm guessing it'll be something that will not be recognizable to ye olde Megaman fans like me. I would love to see some X story direction in it though, especially with Zero.
