During this time of the year, Capcom usually begins to announce its new Megaman games, especially the ones on GBA. Then during the middle of the year, they release it on Japan, and finally near October, they release it in America. With this news report there will be some spoilers so I'll warn you when I get to them. May I present you Rockman ZX for Nintendo DS:  Translation of what the image says by boco:
ニンテンドーＤＳ カプコン 発売日未定 価格未定 Nintendo DS - Capcom - release date unknown - price unknown さまざまなハードやジャンルで発売された人気シリーズ「ロックマン」の最新作が発売決定。本作は、少年ヴァンと少女エール二人から主人公を選べるアクションゲームだ。二人は、遺跡から発掘された”ライブメタル”を使って返信可能。新たな物語が始まる！ A new entry in the popular system- and genre-spanning "Rockman" series has been announced. This is an action game with two selectable characters - a boy, Van, and a girl, Eile. The two are able to transform due to the "living metal" excavated from the ruins. This begins a new story! 「ロックマン」シリーズ初の女子主人公エールの実力は！？ What abilities could Eile, the first female protagonist in the Rockman series, have!? 女性主人公登場！ Introducing a female protagonist! 変身前の主人公のようだが、変身条件などがあるのだろうか？ This is how the character looks before the transformation. Could there be special transformation requirements?
And now for more images.  Van  Eile  Van  Eile  Transformation  Transformation It seems that this game is a sequel to the Zero series, so this means that Zero did die at the end of Megaman Zero 4. |

Feh Zero will probably be re-built later on. He is a reploid-cockroach anyway....I hope.....

LOL, you and your coackroach theory, it's just cool.
A female protagonist? hey, then some of our stupid questions/answers about it were wrong!!!! (as if we didn't knew or it had any importance, it is meant to be stupid anyway)
Well, I admit it's a spoiler............ but I wasn't expecting that as a spoiler, it's quite short and um, I don't really expect him to be eternal, the same 'ol guy bores, remember Ash in pokémon (I know it's in different grounds, but you get the point, and I think it's a good point).
But this is what I say: A new series of Megaman style in relation to its general background can work as let's say, Zero dies, but in which game? not Megaman Zero 4 necesarilly, they still made Megaman X10 after some Megaman Zero isn't it? time can be managed separately, it could work with this the same (or better, also worse, but let's not be pesimists).
Now, a bet.
I bet.... let's see, 100 Gold, lol, that's very little Gold, I bet that Gold, that this new Megaman series game has an "XXX War" like the Maverick wars and the elf wars.

Mephistopheles:The last Megaman X game until now is 8.
I bring you all some good news! This game is now officially confirmed by Capcom! I was playing around with URLs since this game was announced, and today a website did appeared in the URL: www.capcom.co.jp/rockman_zx/I told Tim from Megaman Network about this, since this is really hot news. Nobody in the internet has found about it. Yeah, I did include him both links to this forum and to the site in the mail, so he may probably link to us. EDIT: Informed Rockman Perfect Memories too.

Right, 8, my mistake.
I wasn't quite expecting to hear about a game, get some images and stuff, to later hear it's cancelled. They could be fake or kind of demo-ed (yeah, not a real word, I know), making the game not actually being like that not called like that, whatever. I guess we now know it's real and stuff.

Now I really hate this. I hope Tim makes something about this because I was the first one to find about the official site. They didn't credit me in their news at Megaman Network!  Good news is, that I'm the first person credited in the Rockman Perfect Memories news! YAY  |

THIS DOUBLE POST IS PERMITTED DUE TO IT'S IMPORTANT CONTENT
Because a site in Japanese doesn't contain great information for us non-japanese speakers, just some cool pictures, I bring you the official translation of what the site says. Credit goes to Heatman from Atomic Fire.
In this game you begin by selecting from either the male character Van, or the first female protagonist of the Rockman series: Eile. There hidden powers are...?
Live Metals are mysterious pieces of metal excavated from places such as ancient ruins. There are various types of metals, and they contain recorded information concerning the history and armaments of bygone days. It's said that further knowledge and power can be recognized in the Live Metals according to one's own intentions. Van and Eile use the Live Metals to transform into the Model X form.
Another character of yet unknown identity is able to perform the Model Z transformation. What is the relation of Model X and Model Z? What is Rockman ZX? |

You know, I don't think it fair that you can choose whether it's something important enough to double post. Some people say rules are meant to be broken, but seriously, not by the guy who made it.
Well, background history, so X and Zero's time is forgotten technollogy? or it sounds like it, or they could at least use, like, other letters.
Hey, if you don't know, don't expect me to know..... although it's probably a rethorical question, whatever.

I also believe that ... even if you are the admin .... you need to respect rules (Specialy if outsiders will be linked here...)... never the less I do understand that maybe you wanted to make different posts so that new info could be included and yet a modification would let everyone know it has new info .... But you could have done like what I did with the Evangerion Board : Ask someone to post something so you can post again without breaking the rules.
I think it is good to refresh the cast .... and the Rockman ZX thing seems like the Rush armor ÍMO....

Important rules: - No Spamming
- No Flamming
- Do not double post(use modify button), unless really important.
- Respect other members (specially mods and admins).
Check how third rule states, "unless really important". Asking someone to post, so you can post again, is not ok. If you feel the information being posted is really important, then you may double post. Anyway, let's get back to topic.
It is rumored that this game may have a cooperative mode. |

Hey, gamemaniac has sort of a point, well, his thread was dead (nobody had posted yet), so anyway, he needed to tell me to post there or maybe I wouldn't have done it, and face it, you either Link. The importance of a post is subjective, I don't find it important such as you might not find very important news about Neverwinter Nights 2, which I didn't posted..... although I could've, but I didn't think you really cared, and me knowing it seemed enough, LOL, but if you want I will post it, heh.
Cooperative? sounds interesting.... I guess, never thought of playing Megaman with someone else, wouldn't that make it a lot easier? well, maybe the gameplay has adapted or something.

Ok so just to make sure .... if I got new info about the Evavngerion movie I can double post?( since no one posted after me ... and it is important stuff as to not just modify the last post...)...
I guessing maybe the ZX model is made by merging both players...

Gamemaniac:Yes
Maybe the one using Model Z, doesn't know about Van or Eile. The thing I'm sure of, is that the player will have the choice of using either Van or Eile, and probably unlock Model Z character.

What do you mean by "doesn't know about Van or Eile"?

Basically, that they aren't friends.
PS: How do you think they might use the two screens? A map would be cool, but not there are more possibilities.
UPDATE: Inti-Creates now updated their site. The official names for the characters are "Vent" and "Aile"(In French, "wind" and "wing" respectively).
