Mega Man Gets Another Crossover, but Fans Just Want a New Game

As a lifelong Mega Man fan who grew up with those iconic 8-bit adventures and countless sleepless nights spent perfecting my skills to conquer Dr. Wily, I must confess that the upcoming addition of my beloved hero to Brawlhalla fills me with mixed emotions. On one hand, it’s thrilling to see Mega Man join the ranks of other legendary characters in a popular fighting game. But on the other hand, it’s hard not to feel a pang of disappointment that Capcom seems to have relegated this gaming icon to mere cameos and crossover events instead of giving us a new adventure worthy of his legacy.


Towards the end of this month, the iconic character Mega Man is set to enter the roster of Brawlhalla, a free-to-play fighting game that can be played on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and mobile devices. The introduction of Mega Man will take place on September 25th, although specific details are still scarce. However, over the coming week, we should receive more information. In Brawlhalla, most crossover characters function as skins for existing fighters, which means players might need to spend Mammoth Coins to acquire the Mega Man design. The trailer for this event also hints at the involvement of Mega Man’s animal companions Rush and Beat, so it will be intriguing to see their role in the game.

Enthusiasts of the game Brawlhalla are thrilled about the blue bomber’s upcoming appearance, but Mega Man devotees appear less enthused on platforms like YouTube, Reddit, and Twitter. They have voiced their disappointment with the character’s crossover in the game, as they feel that Capcom has not given Mega Man much attention beyond these events recently. The truth is, the last new Mega Man game was released in 2018, and such appearances in games like Brawlhalla and Funko Fusion are not quelling fans’ longing for fresh content.

Although it may not entirely alleviate your anticipation, it’s important to note that Capcom acknowledges the high interest in a new Mega Man game. This year, they conducted the Capcom Super Elections where fans could vote across various categories, including the Capcom franchise needing a revival or a new game. In the end, Dino Crisis emerged as the overall winner, but Mega Man came in second with 63,395 votes. Furthermore, Capcom has been vocal about addressing fan concerns regarding the gap between Mega Man games, and lately, they’ve expressed that they are contemplating ongoing production of games for the franchise.

Even though Mega Man is highly respected within the gaming world, it’s evident that he hasn’t received the same level of attention as Mario or Sonic. Here’s hoping Capcom can find a solution to improve the situation and bring more joy to fans. For now, we’ll just have to content ourselves with rare collaborations or brief appearances!
