Mega Man Creator Quits the Game

[George Palmer]

He goes to another company or forms his own and develops the wildly popular Mega Woman series. It makes $2 billion the first week out.

I've heard Angelina Jolie has already been earmarked in to play the movie adaptation. Supposedly it will stay faithful to the original.

Mega Woman... I like it!

 

[capnpupster]

Man, this sucks for the immediate future, but could be really good later on if he starts his own studio. If he does I imagine he might deliberately stick to small budget projects, I hope so that's where most of the innovation is these days.

 

[zehydra]

His work was probably my biggest inspiration when making 2d games.

 

[DarkRedLion]

Maybe this is a good step for his career! A great loss for CAPCOM. But if he continues to makes game... a great addition for the gaming world! : ).

As people said over here, whatever will happen to Megaman Legends 3, Megaman Universe and Megaman Online? :X.

 

[gamepopper101]

But WHO would make Mega Man Legends 3?

 

[WanderingFool]

Well, good for him, Fuck Capcom...

Mega Woman... I like it!

I think half of DeviantArt already claimed a copyright on that...

But on the off chance this does take fruitation, just remember, bigger is not better.

 

[Weaver]

I'm happy he stuck up for himself. Good luck in the future, I know basically any development studio in the world would be more than willing to hire him.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

Well, I wish him the best of luck and hope he is successful with his future projects!

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

A sad day for the gaming industry, though perhaps it'll be eclipsed by the news that he might start his own studio (though it'll still be sad news for Capcom). Here's hoping. Between the Mega Man series, Onimusha, and Dead Rising, it'll be sad to see the industry without his influence.

 

[ShakerSilver]

NNOOOOOOOOO!!!! Who's going to make Legends 3 awesome now?! I NEED SOMETHING TO CHEER ME UP NOW!

Maybe his next challenge could be his own studio?


You mentioned Megaman, sorry.

Heh heh, that always gets a chuckle out of me.

 

[Rect Pola]

That is too bad. I wonder what he didn't enjoy anymore? Being at the top of the ladder? Being moved away from what he loved to do period? Or perhaps the culture at Capcom was starting to get to him?

 

[Impluse_101]

But...but...Megaman Legends 3....;~;....

*Goes to corner and cries* ;~;

 

[SimuLord]

The dude just plain burned out. Can't say as I blame him---we all need new challenges in life, and sometimes being known for a skill tends to typecast.

Wouldn't surprise me if he got out of gaming entirely, and we as gamers can whine about it (and indeed, plenty of Mega Man fans probably will) but it's Inafune-san's life and he's earned the right to do with it as he pleases, more so than most.

Ninja Theory offers their "insight" into Mega Woman's character design...profits double...
