So, back in 2010, a realistic Mega Man first-person shooter was being made by Armature Studios, a development team founded by former members of Retro Studios who had worked on Metroid Prime. Of course, like all Mega Man games, it was cancelled after six months of development, and it remained unheard of until today. Screens:



Perhaps this is one MM game that was better off dead.

In other interesting news, Armature Studios is now developing Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, a 2.5D Metroidvania-style game for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, which was just announced today.
