Mighty No. 9

[Marth]

As a huge fan of the series for most of my life, I don't really see this as turning away from him. MN9, as Guycott said the spiritual successor. This is what the majority of fans wanted, a proper MM game even if the real Mega Man isn't the star. It has its differences and such, but none are too far out of the realm of possibility to make it a believable Mega Man game if you just plopped him in there and tweaked a few of the art assets. I would love to see a "real" Mega Man game come out again, but let's face it Capcom is squandering him and throwing him away. It's great that he's in the next Smash Bros. and I hope this means better things for him the future, but as of now he's pretty low on Capcom's production priority list. Also the absolute slew of bullshit that Capcom is giving us with his name and face plastered on it is seeming to make fans embrace this spiritual successor because it's doing everything right, where Capcom is doing everything wrong (I mean come on, how many more mediocre to sub-par fan made games are they going to throw at us?)
