Remember the thoughtful efforts of our affiliates MegaManX9.com that would hint Capcom to make a sequel to the X series? It looks like it finally paid off!! Due to the success of Rockman 9, a new X series game is coming out... in Super Famicom (SNES) style! o.o An anonymous tipster sent us an e-mail, hinting that a couple of screenshots was recently uploaded to a Capcom Press folder. Hard to believe, but the quality was so surreal and so amazing, we were at loss for words.  "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky..."  "Hidden treasure? Neat, I better take a look arOUND."  "Ugh, these platforms... Hey, I better not be facing some Spike Raptor boss in here...!" We were also told, that the theme of the game, and the title, is focusing on the continued removal of old-generation repliroids. The title that was given to us was "Rockman X9: Repuriroido no Shimetsu!", which means "Repliroid Extinction!". It puts us at the point where Rockman X8 ended with a mysterious shiny piece being infested on Axl's head circuits. Closing in on the year 22XX, after Axl's recovery, new threats started to arise, where the reproduction of copy chips are showing up at a tremendous rate, and thus being able to breed new generation repliroids to replace the old. Can X, Zero and Axl find out who's behind this and stop any irregular crimes in the process? Some features that would show up is a Database showing off all the characters and bosses that has shown up in the X series so far, along with a Time Attack mode to show off your records on leaderboards. And it's been mentioned that Life Ups, Sub Tanks and Capsule upgrades are coming back in their original form, without having to buy them from some kind of shop feature. DLC has been mentioned as well. What they were exactly is yet unknown, but we hope it's the same treatments as Rockman 9 or something more surprising. The game is rumored to come out on PlayStation Network, X-Box Live Arcade and Wii Ware. The release date and price wasn't mentioned, but we hope it will be ready before the big anniversary. Source: www.rockmanpm.com/Looks legit and pretty damn amazing. |

I hope it's legit, I'd love to see X9 come out. (Though I was sorta hoping it'd be in X8 type graphics... with some more of the anime esque cutscenes. ) But hey, if they'll make X9 this way it's still cool.

I dono about this. Sprites INC (Mainly BBD) is known for making false MM previews. I can already see where either they did it, or Crapcom was lazy.
1) Axl looks a bit like X. He also has the same standing still face. But I could see that as Axl
2) All those back grounds look all to familier. Those windows look an aweful lot like Dopplers stage from MMX3.
The Rock area in Axl's pic looks like a recolor from Armored armidilio's stage.
And that Zero pic looks alot some stage from MMX3. Volt Catfish or The hornet I do believe.
3) Capcom.com has no information on this, in neither you.S.A version or the Japanese. The latest game up and around is a new Monster Hunter game.
Sorry guys, but I do believe this is fake, don't get your hopes up. BBD also has a love for RMPM on this fake Sh**. As well as PLanet Megaman.
EDIT: Theres also the fact that the same thing like this happend with MM9, RM&Bass DS, MML DS, and Megaman Scramble Battle

I suppose those screens would be pretty easy to fake. Could be nothing more than a fan trying to get everyone excited in hopes that Capcom will notice how much everyone wants it and prompt them to make the game, its what some guy did to try and get Golden Sun 3.
But if this is real, this is a personal prediction but I'm gonna call Axl being the one behind mass producing more new gen reploids but hiring 8 regular mavericks so he, X and Zero can kill them and he can cover his tracks. Then you'll kill him in the end. What I'm really interested in is if Sigma will come back or not.

Possibly a fake, but we'll see. Wasn't it also the case that someone made fake MM9 screenshots then like a few days later the real MM9 was announced?
Could be that again. (I'll reserve judgement until next week just to be on the safe side.)

I said that that did happen, and Kenji said if the demand is high enough that it would be made so this could be turned around and made legit in like a week. Just like MM9

That was a good observation, I totally missed how close to April Fools it is. Hopefully this is real though, I'd be so happy. My prediction about Axl and Sigma still stands.
Looking at the Axl sprite though, it is clearly an edit of X. His helmet shape is the same, just added some stuff to the back. His legs are facing the same directions. Do you think Capcom would make Axl a totally new sprite or make it similar to X? I mean this could work, he's got the gun and it looks nice and all, and I can see Capcom taking the lazy way out... I suppose the Axl sprite being an X edit is no reason to discredit the game.

Clearly an april-fools joke.

I really hope it's an April Fools' joke.
The MMX series should have ended at 6; That's where it branches out into MMZ, if you beat the game as Zero, that is. Megaman X7 made no sense to me, it was like they made a completely different game. The entire game had a completely different plotline (One that didn't involve Zero dying and coming back in the next game, thankfully). Afterwards, I didn't even bother getting MMX8.
I think they only called it "Megaman X7" was because X was in it.
In my opinion, this series should just stay dead. At least if MMX9 is real, the plot connecting 9 to MMX8's ending will make sense.

That plot sounds about as cop-out and incoherent as an X-game can get to me.
But even if this game were genuine (Ha ha ha.), or even if Capcom did make an X9 (I think we all know Capcom well enough to know there's no if about it. As long as there are money piles still interested in the X series, it will get a sequel.), I wouldn't buy it.
As has already been mentioned, the X series should have ended at five (That's when Inafune stpped down). The only plot I wouldn't criticize for existing is a plot that focuses on the Elf Wars, or continues off of Command Mission (But I know deep down Capcom's eventually going to declare it non-canon, which is shame given the potential, but also a blessing considering it's Capcom we're dealing with.).
This whole 'New-Generation Reploids' bull crap is getting ridiculous now. I mean, in X8 the chief of those reploids themselves went Maverick, and now the humans are actually going to abolish the traditional ones in favor of them? For God's sake, it's like Capcom's trying to make a "What-If?" scenario for if Bush became immortal and took over the world.
And the less said about Capcom's recent stage-design habits the better.

Love the custom sprite and the joke oh well if its true its true. If its fake its one depressing April Fools Joke to fans of the X series... Oh well I to would love to see an X9 ,but I don't think Capcom would return X back to his roots considering Megaman 9 was a fluke and got luckly because of said fans of Megaman. I honestly would like to see it back in there in X4- X6 sprite work more than there 3D models anyways. Well since X can now finally use a damn air dash without an armor on which I bet would have been useful in X6 instead of making him armor dependent all the way... Well that is my view of it...

'Oly crap how long was this thread existing...?
I don't care about Axl, I don't care about Zero, I don't care (much) about the plot. Thinking of certain technological advances X obtained int he recent games......I'd really love to play as a 16-Bit ultimate X. Hell, new armors would be appreciated.
But that's if the game came out. April 1st got old when I was nine.

Yeah ,but obviously whoever put it up still believes in April Fools I guess. Yeah you got something there Silver. Ultimate Armor X 16 bit style equals awesome pawnage.

Oh yea and concerning sprite issues, I noticed Axl's head crystal is completely to the side unlike X and Zero's which always tend to have a quarter view. (And if it is, that's messed up.) Capcome may get lazy at times, but they at least always keep their sprites legit....don't they?
