Protodude teasing new Mega Man X and Battle Network mobile games

Should be just fine if the let you tap the square to move to it. Keep the attack, card and turn button on the enemy side for no accidental presses.

Good luck having the final bosses from BN2 or 3, or any Bass fight, or ProtomanFZ with touch controls in the 3x3 grid. All of them require super quick side stepping and either dodging in criss cross patterns or in L-shapes. At this point it's easier to go the Starforce route and just have right/left movement and a guard button.
All you have to do is play the IOS version of the rhythm game Jubeat and you'll have enough speed with your fingers to dodge that stuff :P
Can't you connect controllers to mobile platforms? Could go that route too.
I'd be all the way down for a new Battle Chip Challenge. I've played through that game like ten times, I unironically think it's great.
This is such a missed opportunity, though! Star Force retains everything mobile-friendly about Battle Network (notably, the gacha potential), then adds on even more things that beg for a mobile entry. Star Force's simpler inputs and over-the-shoulder, three-lane perspective could translate amazingly well to vertical-orientation phone gameplay. If the game does retain action elements, I'd much rather it be Star Force style than Battle Network style.

i would have gladly waited 165 days for an X9 annoucement....
but 165 days for mobile? It probably means even more to get a real console game again
hopefully there's more than one announcement

Starforce Star Carrier is way closer to smartphones than BN PETs too. Not to mention they predated social networks and apps like Miitomo, 43Things, HabitShare, Secret, Whisper, Truth, etc
It lacks the nostalgia pull and the more accepted art direction though.
Seriously. I'm gonna pass of it's mobile gacha influenced.
So, bumping the thread because Max and some other FGC streamers are showing off a mobile card game by Capcom codenamed Project Battle.
There's a lot of Megaman X in it (X, Aila, Colonel, Axl, Mettaurs, many bosses), and no Classic, EXE or Legends.
And X and ONLY X, of all characters (Megaman related or not) is sporting a completely new, round design. His abdomen is literally a sphere.
Guessing this may be what Protodude was teasing?

Same thought here. Please X full production on console like the newest mm game. BN on mobile is fine.
Edit: oh this is an older topic

If it's like Dragalia or FEH, I am fine, just as long as they are as generous as those 2, hell even the teppen template is fine
While im thid point i'll take whatever new mmbn stuff we can get, i honestly don't see a gatcha heavy game getting a player base big enough to survive for more than 1-2 years.

I doubt this is the only BN game we are getting honestly, there has been a fucking MASSIVE push of merch for the series this year. They are really trying to build the brand for that back up

Personally i would bet more on this and possibily a collection of the originals releasing, with the implication of using these to see the sales potential of a new one, but since we seems to be into a megaman renaissance these days i could def be wrong.

I am just waiting for them to touch Legends again, at this point it's a matter of when not if

Battle Network Mobile Gacha fits the series consodering P.E.Ts and the battle chips. It makes me angry as fuck that mobile gacha is the future for the series, but its a brain dead money machine, and in house means its gonna avoid certain other pitfalls. I still have nightmares that remind me Breath of Fire 6 exists.
Fucking monkey paw.
I hate everybody who ever uttered "mobile BN"

Having each battle rank result equal to two or so different loot types isn't "pretty much gacha" at all.
no, but there were literal in game chip gacha machines too that used chips as payment lol
I'll give it a go, but I've never really been able to get into mobile gaming, even for ports of well renowned games I love. (Konami Pixel Puzzle being the exception) Guess I'll just wait for the inevitable Battle Network collection(s) instead.
Yeah, as a tool to sink your excess chips, and that was biased to give you chips you didn't own. Again, a far cry from gacha mechanics.
I don't really disagree, just saying that it's an easy fit for the series for better or worse
If the mobile market taught us anything, is that gacha is an easy fit for anything .-.
my bigger issue is with people equating those awful predatory, whale hunting, practices to actual good game mechanics that barely are RNG related like BN chip collecting, like Mzril did, or with people in general wanting a BN sequel based on said practices because "smartphones = PETs natural fit lol"
Meh on the gacha, but I'll support it if it means there's a chance for Battle Network to come back.
