New Mega Man Universe Game Announced – Is It Mega Man Meets Little Big Planet?

By on July 16, 2010

Capcom has announced a new Mega Man game and although the details are scarce, we can glean a few details from it and make a couple educated guesses. Follow along with the official press release and watch the trailer below.

The release says “Capcom aims to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game“. Mega Man has never been known for its creativity. Curious. They then go on to say “when fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true“.

Imagination + envisioning our most far-out Mega Man dreams + Creative?

Sounds like Capcom got their Mega Man in my Little Big Planet. This is just speculation but it seems like Capcom is going to do a level creating aspect to the Mega Man game. The trailer also features Ryu and the Knight from Ghosts and Goblins fighting bad dudes in some kid’s bed room that has multiple arcade cabinets. Crossover much? Whatever it is, we are really excited (apprehensive) to see what they have up their sleeves. If they can come close to the range of tools that LBP has and they toss in Ryu and other old Capcom characters, we could have a real winner on our hands. We’ll let you know more after Comic Con.

Watch the official trailer here:

Official Press Release:

Capcom Entertainment, Inc., a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Mega Man UniverseTM is coming to Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network and PlayStation®Store. Mega Man Universe, the latest entry in Capcom’s long-running Mega Man® series, will be a revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming.

Mega Man games are beloved by fans all over the world. Since their debut in 1987, Mega Man has remained a videogame icon, having starred in more than 140 titles over the last 22 years. The connection he’s made with pop culture at large has extended beyond games and into cartoons, toys, clothing, comics, kid’s meals, and more. Part of that popularity is driven by the series’ ability to evolve over time yet consistently retain the addictive gameplay experience that sets Mega Man games apart.

For the next chapter in this legacy of excellence, Capcom aims to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game.

“We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe,” said Kenji Inafune, Head of Research and Development Management for Capcom Entertainment. “This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true.”

Inafune is committed to helping craft a Mega Man experience that meets the highest expectations of Capcom fans. Most recently Mega Man® 10 echoed this fact when its classic design and compelling gameplay made it one of the most sought after digital downloads of the year. Gamers can expect Mega Man Universe to bring the core experience fans want while delivering on the promise of innovation that Capcom is known for. Its official: classic gaming will never be same again.
