Now with Mega Man 9 incoming, would you like to see Mega Man X9 next? After seeing Mega Man 9 as it is, some gamers have been wondering if the Mega Man X series would also return to its roots and go back its 16-bit sprites (just like the original Mega Man X) to be released as a downloadable game.

As for me? To me at this point it seems that Mega Man X9 has no chance of being good. The only Mega Man X games in the Playstation 2 generation were Mega Man X7, Mega Man X8, and Mega Man X Command Mission. After that trauma, especially considering Mega Man X8 (the latest of the batch) it seems quite obvious to me that Capcom has absolutely no interest in making a good Mega Man X game. For one thing, the creators don't seem to care about good graphics or 3D gameplay.

If Capcom is serious about making a great Mega Man X game, they might as well put it under a new name, either make it a reboot of the series (''Mega Man X'') or a new series altogether. (''Mega Man X Adventure'' for example?) You can call it a spinoff if you'd like, only not to imply inferiority.

But knowing Capcom, a game under the name ''Mega Man X9'' is almost surely going to be a stinker. Unless of course it uses 16-bit sprites. But that's kind of sad. And I am not interested in that sort of thing.
