Megaman 10 confirmed

[Vipershark]

back to the x series for a second:

It was supposed to end at X4.
Something happened, and the made X5. This was supposed to be the TRUE ending to the series.
But, fans wanted more so Capcom forced an X6. Apparently the creator tried to force-end the story, but somehow it gets retconned in X7 and X8.

All I know is that Sigma is finally destroyed for good in X8. As in, Sigma can't come back if they make an X9 in chronological order.
So it'd need to be a timewarp story or something that happened before X8 ended.
As long as it's got the SNES graphical style and good gameplay, I could care less about the story, though.

However they should put much more emphasis on playing as Vile.
