Today we can exclusively announce that Inafune-san is working on Mega Man Universe for the 360 & PS3. Please find the slightly dry blurb below

Mega Man Universe, the latest entry in Capcom’s long-running Mega Man™ series, will be a revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming.
Mega Man games are beloved by fans all over the world. Since their debut in 1987, Mega Man has remained a videogame icon, having starred in more than 140 titles over the last 22 years. The connection he’s made with pop culture at large has extended beyond games and into cartoons, toys, clothing, comics, kid’s meals, and more. Part of that popularity is driven by the series’ ability to evolve over time yet consistently retain the addictive gameplay experience that sets Mega Man games apart.

For the next chapter in this legacy of excellence, Capcom aims to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game.

“We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe,” said Kenji Inafune, Head of Research and Development Management for Capcom Entertainment. “This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true.”

Inafune is committed to helping craft a Mega Manexperience that meets the highest expectations of Capcom fans. Most recently Mega Man™ 10echoed this fact when its classic design and compelling gameplay made it one of the most sought after digital downloads of the year. Gamers can expect Mega Man Universeto bring the core experience fans want while delivering on the promise of innovation that Capcom is known for. Its official: classic gaming will never be same again.

sweet looking foward to hearing more about this game

 

[Shropt]

So this is either a MMO of sorts or a Little Big Planet make-your-own-level deal. Those are my guesses.

Weird. Love the homage to old school NES and arcade games. Not sure what Ryu and Ghosts and Goblins guy have to do with Megaman, but I'll take it!

 

[Kabukiman]

I have no clue what the F it is. All I know is that it's Mega Man. I'm in.

mega man battling though different old school game themed levels?

 

[karamazov80]

That could be cool, though I'm not sure how the Street Fighter part would work. Maybe for that level, you have to fight like in Marvel vs. Capcom Pt. 2.

^Sweet, I like that idea. Resident Evil level please!

I wonder if the time on the clock (1:31) has any significance. Jan 31st 2011? release date maybe?

 

[Starkiller]

Okay, funny video...but what the hell is it!?

 

[plasmid303]

I coulda sworn the title 'Mega Man Universe' was announced a while ago. Maybe not announced, but hinted at. Wonder what it is.

Capcom filed the copyright a few months back. There was speculation based on the title that it would be a MMO.

 

[plasmid303]

Oh right. No wonder it sounded so familiar. Mega Man as an MMO? That's wild. I would've liked to see that.

[Kabukiman]

Do want!!!!

I'm so glad they left the ____ty vocals out of the music from The Megas. Can't stand that crap the instruments are spot on though. I wonder if the final game will have tracks from some of the other bands out there who pay tribute to Mega Man? The Minibosses, The Advantage, The Protomen?

 

[plasmid303]

Very cool. I'd rather play this than a Mega Man MMO. Keiji Inafune intro was nice too.

[Ryu]

Haha I also would rather play this than the Mega Man MMO any day. Looks awesome and a I can't wait. Playing as Ryu looks like it'll be a nice alternative for fun.

 

[Starkiller]

Just what a Mega Man game needed!!! RYU...


NOT.
