4chan amazes me sometimes.

Specifically, this bit of insight regarding Rockman Rockman on PSP:

"I can't imagine this appealing to the people who bought a PSP for the "image". Which is to say 'most of them.'"

It's actually a pretty good point.

Also, regarding the level editor:

"Multiplayer giant PVP levels would be awesome too.

Imagine a giant level where you fight each other , and if you pick a weapon type, it stays with you until someone kills you, then they get it, and you're assigned a new random one."

To which someone said:

"That's too good an idea for Capcom; expect single player only."

Sadly, it's probably the case.

"I can't imagine this appealing to the people who bought a PSP for the "image". Which is to say 'most of them.'"

At last check, very few people in Japan bought a PSP "for the image." This is largely irrelevant to Capcom's motherland, and I somehow doubt we'll see it over here as a result of this.

Which is fine by me, honestly. When I say I want a new original-series Megaman game, this isn't what I mean.

Eh, I still want it. When it comes to Rockman, I hate one-sided releases.

In all honesty, I'm the same way. If it does get released here, it's a given that I will buy it. I figure I should support the series in any way I can. But if it doesn't come over here, I'm not going to cry like I did over Rockman & Forte when it was SuFamicom-only.

Hmm, PSP CAN play import games, just not movies, right?

Still, probably be a nuisance to get through...

The PSP, like ever iteration of Nintendo's Gameboy and the DS, is region-free for games.

The reason I still won't import it if there is no domestic release is because I like to be able to read what the game says. Megaman games, even the more "standard" ones like X8 and Zero 4, have become rather story- and otherwise text-heavy. These games are likely to have a database of some sort included. If I can't read it, what's the point?

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Hell, I'd want to own all the Japanese versions of the games, anyway, just for my collection.

As far as RR goes... depends on how close it is to the original Rockman game. That one was pretty text-light, and most of it was in English, anyway, so...

Capcom is afraid of having more than one consumer?

"one player only? then you can expect only one customer, then!"

The level editor will probably have a limit to the number of items you can place. Just kind of a bland expectation.

When I hear stuff like this, it reminds me of that fucktard I mentioned. I hate to say it, but in some cases he's right.
