Keiji Inafune: Mega Man 10 Possible on User Feedback

Keji Inafune recently talked Mega Man, with positive feedback for a possible 10th entry in the main series.

There have been many different Mega Man games, spin-offs and side stories, but hardcore fans of Capcom's mascot have stuck to the classic series. With the 9th entry making its way to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft's download services, with critical acclaim, it seems that a 10th one wouldn't be far off.

1UP: If the game is successful and you go on to make, say, Mega Man 10, what would you do to keep the game from being a rehash of previous Mega Man games?

KI: This title has been revived based on our users' feedback. They indicated that they wanted to see it again, so if we can continue to find ways to involve users and use their feedback to evolve the game, I think we can go on to continue to make MM10, MM11, and so on. The main point is how and if we can continue to incorporate user feedback into the creation of the game.

1UP: You have some Mega Man Legends characters in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Will their appearance build a case for a Mega Man Legends sequel, at long last?

KI: [Laughs] I think you're reading into it too much. I have hope to make a new Mega Man Legends, but that's not the reasoning behind including those characters in Tatsunoko VS Capcom. I think you're reading into it too much.

Inafune also discusses Mega Man Legends, Bionic Commando, character designs and more in 1up's Interview.
