RUMOR: Is this Rockman Online? : The Mega Man Network
[Image: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e366/NintendoMasterGC/MegaManUniverse.jpg]
GameSpot:
...Capcom did tease an extension of a current brand. In describing its efforts to better capitalize on the PC game market, Capcom said that is engaged in a joint development deal with Korea-based Neowiz Games on Mega Man Online. No details on this project were offered, and it was equally unclear whether Mega Man Online bears any relation to Mega Man Universe, a name which Capcom registered with the US Patent & Trademark Office in April.
Strategy Informer:
In a move to expand their PC market presence, Capcom have said a joint development deal has been struck with Korean-based Neowiz Games.
They'll be exploring an online Mega Man game, which could be linked to April's Mega Man Universe trademark? Capcom sign off painful fiscal.
If the fiscal period now gone for Capcom is any indication then both fans and developers should be super worried, with net income down 73.1 percent for the 12 month period to just $23.8 million - that's bad. Revenue sunk 27.3 percent to $734 million.
Anyway the publisher has a plan to turn all that around for this fiscal year, which kicked off April 1st in case you were wondering. They'll be shortening the cycles of their franchises by outsourcing projects a lot more and beefing up internal teams.
They will also be keeping a closer eye on their outsourced projects hoping to combine "overseas input" and "Capcom input" better in the future. 20-30 percent of the publisher's development budget is also being tasked on new original IP ventures.
It's the news of extending the Mega Man brand that has intriguing promise as Capcom reveal a partnership with Neowiz Games to deal with Mega Man Online. They haven't released any further information on this MMO, which could be 'Mega Man Universe'.

So... uh, how would it work? Only question I'm wondering, since Megaman doesn't have a battle system(or game mechanics) meant for multiple people...

Personally, I'm thinking
City of Heroes. Customize your own Reploid, align with the Hunters or the Mavericks, and fight for control of key areas. That's what I'm really wanting, anyway, in full 3D.

Knowing that PMang is helping create the game, I'm guessing that this game is going to be an FPS/TPS game since they've already made S4 League which is essentially a shooter. I wouldn't at all be surprised if both games played out in the same/similar fashion. Then again, MegaMan X died have a few RPG elements in their games, so I guess they might make an FPS with RPG elements in it as well. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm definitely gonna check this game out when PMang releases it in OpenBeta.

Neowiz would pick up a shooter game, especially one that's not modern day warfare kind. So I'm hoping to see how this turns out.

Legends = MMO material for sure, but this is not Legends. The character on the poster is clearly X. With that said, I don't think they could've picked a better or more popular Mega Man series to base the MMO on. Legends would've been awesome, but let's face it, it doesn't have enough fans to justify an MMORPG.
