The Future of Mega Man
Despite these collections keeping the classic games alive, fans are eager for a new installment in the Mega Man franchise. While recent years have seen re-releases, crossovers with games like Brawlhalla and Minecraft, and even an episode in Amazon’s Secret Level, a new mainline Mega Man game remains elusive. However, the recent revival of dormant Capcom franchises like Okami and Onimusha offers a glimmer of hope for a potential Mega Man resurgence.
