The next question would be...why haven't they? Seems like an insanely obvious choice, especially in comparison to, say, ice climbers (thats a cheap shot, but Mr. Game & Watch is equally as obscure).

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> They're leaving out some good third party characters, which is a crying shame.

I'm sure a few might've been thrown around in the event of things like third party characters. Sonic and Snake were fairly huge announcements, and if I remember correctly, we didn't know either of them were coming. Also, nothing got leaked out, if I'm not mistaken.

So don't count the blue bomber out just yet.

ElErico

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> awww to bad.

Megaman feels like a classic Nintendo character to me. All his games on NES where awesome and his SNES games (counting X) where great as well. Anthing that came later was kinda bad.

Snake is the excact opposite. While he may feel like a classic Nintendo chara (due to his MSX ports on the NES) his golden time began with the Playstation. When I am hearing Metal Gear I am thinking about Metal Gear Solid, yet he is in due developer friendship.

Would you rather pay 5$ for a Megaman Brawl DLC or would you prefer to see a Megaman Brawl character bundled with some obscure Megaman Game for the Wii?

marcus_ivo

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> @DJP3DRO:
There's a number of ways he could fit.

Say for example, they incorporated him as Mega Man X *crosses fingers*. They could give him a basic shot- mid charged shot, full charged shot, some form of the slide-kick that we all know and love, a jump, roll, boot-jet-hover thing, and with a quick button combination, not unlike zelda, he could do the infamous beam-port out and be replaced with * crosses fingers on other hand*...

Zero!

... who would lack much of a ranged ability, but could do a double jump ( followed by an air dash and maybe a spiral slash upwards thrust for his final jump, and incorporate any number of slashes, cuts, and techniques we've seen in the Mega Man X series.

The character could play like a half samus half marth.

You can't tell me that wouldn't be both awesome and fitting.

Sylveslexi

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Even if they start working on Mega Man right now, they wouldn't make it until the release; they would need SSE scenes, stages, music and trophies to go, and to do so, they need to go back work on with lots of stuff that they are already done with. Like the character selection screen, stage selection screen...It's hard to put in a brand new character franchise at the last minute.

I do expect that there's some kind of skeleton in place, but in a game like Smash where the moves can vary so much, I can't imagine that you can do anything but custom-code the specials, final smashes, the odder normals, etc. Plus, with Mega Man, power absorption would be required as well... it's feasible, but just not in two-three months. Bummer.

ZinkO: Tekken a dump

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Inafune says that the game "Isn't coming out for another few months"... When exactly was this podcast recorded? If it was recorded awhile back and was only just now posted on the bionic commando website, Mega Man may have already been added between whenever the podcast was recorded and now.

Kado

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> @ZinkO:
Well I imagine that characters in smash brothers (and indeed in most fighters) are all born from the same code to help streamline the process of adding each character into the game. I imagine the biggest time constraint would be animations, the character model etc rather than implementing him in the code. Plus of course they'd have to alter (if not redesign) the character selection menu to compensate for the appearence of an extra character. Still we're living in the age of downloadable content and while the Wii isn't quite at the level of the 360 or PS3 in this respect one can only hope.

Odin

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Even if Ninty decided to add this in last minute... they still have to code his entire character, all animations, power absorbtions, coding for special cases like kirby hats, balancing, etc... there's not nearly enough time. Besides, as much as I love the blue bomber, most of what he does is run, jump, and shoot various weapons. There's plenty of good characters who'd be much more likely to show up.
Like Toki (lol).

ZinkO: Tekken a dump

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> I sent a tip in for this story :D

And anyone wondering why he said "another few months" left of development time, this interview's a bit older than you might think, only by like a month or so though I think.

Theoretically, if this podcast was old enough, and Nintendo heard it early enough, they could've contacted Inafune and added him in the last two months of development (which should've been enough time to put him in should they dedicate the time to it.)

Extremely unlikely though, and very, very sad. Mega Man is more suitable for Smash Bros than Sonic and Snake both. His rise to fame was all on original Nintendo systems, and the dude has been in fighting games already. He could also compete with Samus, who so far has an unrivaled projectile ability.

IIRC, Japan voted Mega Man as second or third in a large poll for who they'd like to see in Smash Bros. Brawl. Why was Inafune not contacted Nintendo??? ;_; If he was, we'd have Mega Man for sure.

Ultrasinc

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> I remember when they did the polling to nominate characters for smash brothers. From what I was hearing the three front runners were Sonic, Mega Man, and Simon Belmont.

We got Sonic *whee*. As the next two most popular write ins Simon and Mega Man obviously have a large fan base hoping for any sort of future inclusion.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Ah, my dream was shattered, it seems. I'll still hope for him though, if not for Brawl then for some other game.

Well, still have Snake to play with. Maybe there will be another surprise character that no one would expect?

Saint Anima

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Wonder if they could add some third-party assist trophys then? Those shouldn't be even half as difficult to program. Of cource if they do they may as well go ahead and add Ryu, Ryu (the ninja), Battletoads, Simon Belmont, Black Mage, Duke Nukem and of course Megaman. But I suppose there are some laws of physics that must be followed so that probably won't happen. Something about how there can't be more then a certain amount of positive energy in a limited space... Go figure.

SS Ymer

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Nintendo really should make the game so that new characters can be bought through the Wii store. That way they could add to the game and make some extra money down the line.

Hamsnibit

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> They already have Samus, since she has a arm cannon and enough fighting techniques there is no real point adding him. If they add him in quick, then he would probably be a Samus clone

Hypno-Toad

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> One of these posts made sense to me. I was going to say that there is no way that in two months they can add Megaman, but there is no way someone like Inafune would say theres still a chance unless he knew it was possible.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> @Wolfkin: They've already stated they're looking to get rid of 'clone' characters, why would they add another? Plus, why would you want to play a Kirby character without the floating recovery?

They could tweak his play style enough to still have a Megaman and not have him feel like a clone if they wanted to, but that's something off topic.

"but he doesn't actually SAY Mega Man won't be in Brawl. Just that Nintendo hasn't asked if they can use him yet."

Hehe, maybe he IS in Brawl, ready for use (i.e. he's designed, has his moves ready), but Nintendo has not yet asked if it can "make the code active"... Once Nintendo asks, they agree, then Nintendo publishes a code (oder maybe an online-update/savegame?) and the users can control the blue robot...

By the way: if MegaMan was in the game, I'd love to control the blue "Boy" from the NES/Famicom-Games, not MegaMan X or sth. like that...

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> @PRguitarman:
Because if anyone can redeem Sonic and show Sega how he's done, it's Nintendo. Go figure!

Personally, I still think he'll be in it. If I remember correctly, Capcom's previous statements up until this point have always been, "no comment" type stuff.
My gut feeling tells me that this is all to build some sort of hype up, since a Mega Man announcement couldn't possibly be on the scale of Sonic.

Also, it might be my desperation and me applying too much nuance to the words, but he doesn't actually SAY Mega Man won't be in Brawl. Just that Nintendo hasn't asked if they can use him yet.
It's the equivalent of someone saying, "I have no plans to run for President".

...of course, that's what Al Gore said about running for President and he isn't running this year, either.

"we have a little bit of time left, it's not coming out for ANOTHER FEW months"

What does he know? Is there another anannounced delay nobody but him knows of? Or is that a sign to not take the quote too seriously (and Megaman ends up as a playable character or at least an assist trophy)?

PiWi

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Maybe we have to wait until the next Super Smash Bros. installment until we have Megaman? I think Megaman will soon follow Snake's fate as how Nintendo didn't have enough time to put him in. Such a sad day indeed. :(

Along with every Disney character, the entire Looney Tunes cast, and any Transformers or Power Rangers that don't slip into this one.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Dammit Nintendo! To think that they never even bothered to ask. Well it's too late at this point. They'd better have Bomberman in it to make up for this, or I'm gonna have to have a talk with Sakurai...

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Well look on the bright side: maybe the next Smash Bros. can be Super Smash Bros. Skirmish with mascots from all the major Japanese third parties.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Nintendo, pick up tha5t hpone and give him a call! Oh, and while youre phoning CAPCOM, might as well secure Ryu and Dante while youre at it.

Id buy Smash Bros Brawl at twice the asking price, if they would do that.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Might still have time for Megaman to be put in. I doubt it now, but you never know, could be a chance.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Inafune has always struck me as a crafty, almost assholey kind of guy. Maybe these latest comments are a ruse?

Okay, probably not. So long as Capcom's contribution isn't Dante, I'll live.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Barring another delay (or the possibility that Inafune is lying through his teeth), that means no Megaman in Brawl.

However, technically, he never said that there would be no Megaman "characters" (i.e. Zero), but that's a stretch.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> @Kirbytheslayer: Click the + to the right of my posts for ca...: Hits Japan January 24th, (via the Japanese Brawl site,) just about literally a month from today. And if they did that, it would be possible. But to honest, I think it's next to impossible they'd do that. Spending all the man-hours to create and playtest a character that only had a 50/50 chance of getting in? Way too risky, way too inefficient.

But if you don't want me squashing hopes, I guess it could still happen if Inafune's lying to make it a bigger surprise, or he's just been kept out of the loop by the rest of Capcom(?)

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Does anyone think there will be DLC for Smash Bros? I mean, they announced it, sort of, for GH... maybe Megaman will come later. Here's hoping

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> @P-FLute: It's way more than a month.

It's like 47-48 days.

It's still possible if they coded him without permission, and plan to ask right before they go gold.

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> @NowJacker: He was unbalanced in blade warriors. I played that, as Megaman, if you play him right, you can't lose to anybody but somebody playing as Zero.

Kirbytheslayer: In-Kirby XMB

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Baww...Wes afraid this would happen. I was going to say that, well, of course it's impossible: there's less than a month and not only do they have to put him in, they have to spend an assload of time playtesting and balancing him.

But then, Inafune's a smart guy, does he know something we don't?

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> There's no way they can do that at the last minute, especially when it is set to go gold next month in Japan. Looks like we're out of luck.

Drake Lake: Phase Lunaire

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> I figured that egos are at work and you basically don't get a character into Brawl unless you ask (beg?) first as opposed to them asking you.

Krytha

]]> <![CDATA[Inafune Says No Megaman in Brawl]]> Sounds like it won't be happening, but that Nintendo still has a chance to get its ass in gear and communicate quickly. There's not much time left, so they'd have to work their asses off. I'd been working under the assumption that all of the characters for brawl were done already, and that they were simply announcing them over a long period.

The amount of time it would take them to get the legal rammifications out of the way, and then code a whole new character, as well as deal with balance issues... Could be a problem. Let's just pray that they somehow get their asses in gear and start pwning those keyboards.
