This is simultaneously the best and worst news I’ve heard in my life. It’s the berst. Mega Man Online has been officially announced by Capcom Japan…for South Korea. In an interview with Nikkei Trendy, Capcom Japan’s COO, Haruhiro Tsujimoto remarked:
First, it will be launched in South Korea. From there, it’s necessary to think about the development in Taiwan and China. Moreover, there are a great deal of Rockman fans in Japan as well. Though there are no plans currently, if Japanese gamers show interest in the game, the possibility to release it here exists.
I’m baffled. I had no idea that South Korea had such a Mega Man following that they would be considered for a Mega Man online game before Japan. To be honest, I don’t see how it could NOT come to Japan. Or the US, for that matter. Oh please, oh please, let it come to the US.
