Topic	Megaman battle network 7 when Capcom?

From what Rockman Corner's source can recall, the mystery game's tone was aiming to be more "mature" in order to attract an older demographic. In addition to an older Geo Stellar, protagonist of the Star Force series, it would have featured a new character named Kazuma, who can be seen on the left in the only known concept art shown above. While he's described as a genius hacker, the more important piece of information is that it was planned for him to be a direct descendant of Lan Hikari's family, the protagonist of the Battle Network series. It's likely that Kazuma - and the change in tone - were meant to try and bring back older Battle Network fans that didn't make the jump to the successor series. Outside of that, the premise was for the two characters to cross paths and become outlaw hackers, with an 8,000,000 Zenny bounty on each of their heads. Hacking was supposed to be the new mechanic, with the source comparing it to the Noise mechanic from Star Force 3. While specific dev team members aren't known, the only illustration we have was done by Shinsuke Komaki, a veteran of the Mega Man franchise. In addition, the source claims that while development started between 2009 and 2010, the game was roughly halfway into development before it was cancelled. When exactly it was cancelled was not stated, but it should be noted these games normally had one-year development cycles, so Inafune's departure in late 2010 likely had no influence on the decision to cancel this one. Sounds like it really should have been a new spinoff tbh. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 <cite>DevsBro posted [p:923822702] in Megaman ba...
