Personally I don't like the fact that a commemorative game will be released for mobile, but I don't thing the Japanese fanbase is "ranting" over Rockman Crossover as much as fans overseas. The reason? Phones are popular in Japan. Minna to Akashic Heroes for example got over 10 thousand players in less than 2 weeks!

Also, while we are lacking new games (putting aside ports and collections), Japan got new Rockman games in 2011 and 2012, and all for mobile: Rockman Diver, Rockman no Dot Art Logic, Rockman The Puzzle Battle, Rockman Solitaire and Rockman Poker. They aren't mind blowing games like MMU and MML3, but it's something...

And both this and this (heh). Yeah... Those are also valid for Mega Man. Long time fans are likely angry because there is nothing "new" for them since MMZXA in 2007, MMSF3 in 2009, and Mega Man 2010 in 10, (wait, 2 years only?) and when they got, it was cancelled. (Ah, 10 years for Legends series) And Capcom does consider Mega Man a series for kids, at least the original series (and MMBN. Can't say the same for MMX). I think Capcom doesn't see it as a series for all ages, despite it having 24 years.
