The Future of the Mega Man Franchise


Capcom USA Senior Vice President Christian Svensson had an interview that was featured on the November issue of Nintendo Power magazine. In the interview, he was asked about the future of the Mega Man franchise.

Here's what he has to say about the question:

I can say with certainty that you've not seen the last of the Blue Bomber on consoles and handhelds, and, with luck, we’ll be celebrating his 50th anniversary, including all of the games you're going to enjoy over the next 25 years. That said, an issue we've had in the past has been talking about games and announcing them before we’re certain they're going to come out, which unfortunately has lead to profound disappointment for many fans. So for now, I'm going to have to stay mum about any details.

The Mega Man franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Both Capcom USA and Japan will have their own seperate celebrations with Capcom USA beginning its festivities sometime in December.
