Keiji Inafune is kick starting a new, 2d side scrolling game based very heavily on Mega Man, since he no longer has the rights to those characters after leaving Capcom. Go and support and show Capcom just how big a mistake they made./

I'm wondering how long it'll be before Capcom brings down a hammer on him for this. I love the idea, but changing the name and graphics slightly, but keeping the whole premise and everything else is a fast track to lawsuitville.

Not really.
If game companies were going to get sued because their games looked or played "too similar" copycat games wouldn't exist at all. |

Yeah, there would only be one IP for wanking over US Forces shooting everything that moves in a FPS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Less Spunk-Gargle-Weewee games would be nice.

IP laws protect a specific expression of an idea.
Not the idea itself. -k |

Even if they somehow did have a case, I don't think Capcom wants that sort of press. They would dig themselves so deep they'd need a back hoe and jackhammers to get them out. |

Even EA has been attempting to improve their image. Even if most of us see through their BS.
