However,"Mega Man" fans who tuned in weren't able to gather more information, as Polygon notes. Capcom has not yet revealed how they plan to go about re-releasing the classic series, and what form it would take.
The company could go with a bundle release that puts out the series in a single item, like the "Mega Man Legacy Collection" that Capcom released earlier in 2016. The "Mega Man Legacy Collection" series, which is composed of two parts, started with the first six games that were released in the original "Mega Man" series for the NES.
The second part, called "Mega Man Legacy Collection 2," put together a bundle of the next "Mega Man" titles, including "Mega Man 7" up to "Mega Man 10," as part of the collection.
Capcom, of course, also have the option of relaunching all eight "Mega Man X" games as separate items.
The "Mega Man X" series is 24 years old. It first rolled out in 1993 for the Super Famicom. It's a series that's seen several generations of home consoles come and go, including the first PlayStation, Sega Saturn, the GameCube and PlayStation 2.
