Thoughts on BrawlMan

[kevinxnelms]

I thought I solidified my feelings on MegaMan in Brawl pretty nicely in the following SmashBoards post. I wanted to put it here too, even though I only have 3 LJ friends, I know it will actually be read here.

You know, I'm really gathering mixed feelings about MegaMan in Brawl.

Probably since Melee, I've wanted to see him in Smash. Especially seeing

While I understand your concern, I think there's a bit of BS. Capcom isn't anymore money hungry than any other product-selling company is. As far as Smash goes, look who they'd be trying to appease. They've got nothing on the kind of money Nintendo makes.

And there's a simple explanation for why Powered up and Maverick Hunter X got on the PSP. Sony probably begged them. Capcom has a habit of "bailing out" flailing in Japan systems and appealing to the Western market. Why do you think they've made so many high profile games for the 360? If Capcom really only cared about money, they would have made those games on the DS, no contest.

The fact is, I don't think Capcom would be that demanding on who gets in Brawl. The ZX series actually isn't promoted all that much to begin with - it's not made by Capcom directly. As for Star Force, Capcom already has toys and an animated series going for it. Now that's not to say the Star Force Mega Man or any other couldn't get into Brawl. But considering that having any character in Brawl is a huge privilege for any third party company, I doubt Capcom is going to be too picky about it.
