That's a no.

Here you go.


The lowdown:

On May 17th 2022, some Japanese website noticed some other Japanese website was advertising an NFT project supposedly by Inafune.

Cue about one and a half days of cope by people who could not believe Inafune could be this stupid. Points of denial was that it had to be a scam because the website was barebones, it didn't have Inafune's standard message to fans, it had an old bio, and so on. It was totally, 99% confirmed not real.

Then, well, it was confirmed real.

All I'm seeing here is Zero's sabers, Protoman's shades, Sigma's cape, slightly modified and bashed together.

But yeah, if Inafune's name wasn't mud before it probably is now. I'm pretty sure he jumped on the bandwagon quite late too.

That looks like absolute ass, a hodgepodge of characters stitched together that I could be told was from Deviant Art and not bat an eye. Reminds me of the shit design of the not zero chick from Mighty shit 9, he's obsessed with recycling that aesthetic.

I see Inafune has reached Naka status where no matter how retarded and visible his exploits are, he will always have a legion of dickriders. Guess the whole Sonic X MegaMan has another thing uniting them (hopefully far away from me)
 
Some of those designs are pretty good, but NFTs lol
They look like beast wars cgi mixed with X Dive’s HD sprite work and some ai generation.

Still beats every other nip drawing extremely detailed cartoon tits and acting arrogant afterwards. Then memory holing all that work away and doing it again until the end of time as if nothing besides cartoon tits and mecha can ever possibly be drawn while moaning about how “things have gone to shit”.
 
Isn't the dev spanish?
Also who even cares it's been almost 15 YEARS and they still haven't finished this shit. It's just a 2D megaman.
To be honest, looking a bit through the new playthrough video, it looks ace. Though is it more of a Metroidvania? Though your comment on 15 years makes it sound like vaporware...

Fist gameplay video was put up in July of '08:

Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but I genuinely have no enthusiasm for any game that doesn't have a release date within a year anymore. Also doesn't help that there are hundreds of small team projects with more effort put in that haven't taken a third of the time to come out.

Having reached this point in the conversation. Any megaman X or standard rom hacks worth recommending?

This looks like what a fresh novelai would put out when given too many keywords. I know the robot master and maverick designs were starting to fall apart after the snes, but this takes the damn cake.
 
You actually see Lifesaver in the intro stage, which makes the replacement all the more glaring.

Does he has a patreon or a paypal donation link? if yes that explains it, if no then he's just enjoying his siesta, longass siesta but still...

Even solo developing has been made easier, doesn't matter if it's pixel art or not, you have a fucktillion tools to help you out unless you have something like tone deafness but for art you'll depend only on your laziness to get something done, also i'll comment about snoot game, i'm not even a damn scalie and i want emo dino waifu.

I mean all repoids designs are based on X, there's only so far you can get away from big mecha hands and feet... then there's command mission artstyle where they added and changed many things aside from zero (lol), the comms master in the robot island being the same as alia with white booba included is just laughable not because it's a nod but because it feels lazy, the gal comms that plays on X6 (or X7 i think) is the same thing, she's alia with purple hair and being more of a slut cause gal culture nod, Zero's designs changing greatly wasn't a good but it's a welcome.

i'll die on the hill that battle network has good artsyle but it's so underused it's ridiculous.
 
Tell that to the fucking elephant robot and all the ones based on sea life lmao.
nigga i don't make the fucking lore nor shit on it with my zero obsession.
how dare you forget the butterfly nigger and the two plant mofos, not to mention the ostrich.
the snail's charged powerup is shit and generally his power is more support get into secret areas based rather than offensive

Battle Network and ZX's artstyles seem to be based on Japanese Sentai shows more than X. They even have the key item transformation gimmick. Haven't played the X games as they remind me too much of sonic.

Its also strange how there has never been another attempt at something like metroid prime for the series. Without any of the COD theatrics of maverick hunter. It would be a somewhat different game than prime and the professional climate in which that game and many other great ones were made in no longer exists. But fuck it, 2D Mariosouls clones and shitty VN's are the way of the immediate future it seems and legends was more silly and lighthearted than the more mature and unspoken style of Prime.

Every robot that does Alia's job is a recolor of Alia. It's kind of comical how lazy it is. Look up the Maverick Hunter X navigators for the most blatant examples.

Also, no mention of the Command Mission recolor is complete without linking the concept art.

Inafune really is the Japanese Ken Penders.

X2 is an invertebrate-fan's dream line up, and its weird how they dumped all these off kilter animals into the first sequel. Still cooler than that dumb deer, fuck him.
they remind me too much of sonic.
Please elaborate
Why does she have a snatch and butt recepticel when they don't have bodily functions?
