This is my idea for an X9:
With the Jakob Project grinding to a halt for the moment, the Earth no longer has to worry about a new world being born. X, Zero, and Axl return to the Base and get congratulated, but soon a new Reploid by the name of Zebus has arrived and is planning to conquer Earth with an array of Reploids, saying that they want data from other Maverick Hunters. X, Zero, and Axl must go to the scene of the crime.
- 2D play and excellent graphics.
- Choose your team from 3 Maverick Hunters (X, Zero, and Axl) and go after the Reploids.
- 13 huge areas to explore and 3 new intermissions.
- 8 all-new Mavericks to battle.
- Choose your favorite navigator for help in a stage; Alia, Layer, or Palette.
- No more playing as Alia, Layer, or Pallette... this is men's work.
Stages and bosses:
Intro stage (dinosaur)
Mt. Crumble (Granite Yakazi, yak Maverick)
Hydro City (Wave Urchin, urchin Maverick)
Weather Control Tower (Tornado Osprey, osprey Maverick)
Desert Palace (Sand Roadrunner, roadrunner Maverick)
Magma Cave (Magma Oryx, oryx Maverick)
Frigid Blue (Blizzard Arcfox, arctic fox Maverick)
Data Greenhouse (Plant Cricket, cricket Maverick)
Futuristic Twilight (Twinkle Wasp, wasp Maverick)
Zebus Castle 1 (Mecha-Tank)
Zebus Castle 2 (Bospider II)
Zebus Castle 3 (Zebus)
Sigma Stage (Sigma, Mecha-Sigma)
Whew!
that's pretty cool.
personally i want them to start tying into the Zero series alot more though.
Oh, that's interesting.
I'd tell 'em to scrap those two and get Inafune's ass on Dash 3, POSTHASTE.
True... I'd also say scrap Battle Network for a short while (6 is a little much for four years...) and get working on Mega Man 9 alongside it.
agreed, we need zero in that series.
They need to find some ways to end the Maverick Wars (Zero's part of the X8 ending almost suggests Sigma is done for) and start the Elf Wars. The whole thing with Lumine threw a wrench into that, though. I wonder what the future holds for Axl...
Whatever it is, I doubt its good...
i think that Axl will just return as normal, maybe Capcom could use his ending to launch a spinoff like they did with zero's ending to X6. for the most part we will never know until there is a press release for X9 actually confirming it. please note that at this time i have no recollections of such a release, even though there may have been one since i last checked an MM site, i havent been on one since PMM went down again.
As long as they kill Axl, I'll buy the game.
lol, good point, and well said
No. No Zebus. Try Dynamo instead.
Maybe they should have Omega as the final boss? or some istance of the use of cyber elves, or infact make a longer game that is mission based, and have it span the entire length of the elf wars, thats what i'd like to see
They should try to avoid bring Sigma back in this one. Or pull something like they did in X8 where Sigma's just someones pawn.
They could always try another Command Mission. The first was good, though it felt too short and straight-forward, with not enough development of the secondary characters. They should make the areas feel more open and have the characters OTHER than X, Zero, and Axl playing a bigger role.
Naah, MMXCM was baaad IMO
how was it bad? i found i quite liked it.
it was a novelty at first but then it all got a bit repetative and dull i think
I didn't think it was that bad, but it just needed more. Mainly needed to feel a lot more like an RPG. Legends has the feel more than CM.
Agreed. but concerning the X series, they need to have Dynamo brought back into the fray. Oh yeah, And Iris needs to come back somehow.
As for DASH, if they don't make a third one and instead focus upon those stupid Battle Network games, I will personally kill Inafune

No. Let somebody die and stay dead, just once, please?
agreed. why bring her back? what role would she play, other then becoming zero's 'love interest'?
Well, If we had Iris back, she could replace Layer as Zero's Navigator. That would be cool, because Layer wasn't a good character to begin with. If Capcom can do her revival correctly, it could be great. Unfortunately, we know Capcom can't do it right, so it's probably going to be this botched up deal. Besides, It would bring the Repliforce back into existence and be given something resembling a second chance. That would be appreciated. Although, If Iris is playable in the game, She better have that pistol in the Manga.
As for Dynamo, he has to be a bad guy. There's no avoiding it. He's a mercenary and a pain. So he's perfect. Also... This would be a prime time to upgrade his theme.
