It turns out this was a fan made render by some kid on Neogaf. Either way it looks incredible. Give him a job Inafune!
YES! I managed to Agree and LOL at the same time! I AM THE ULTIMATE BAD ASS!

Here’s a bunch that Inti Creates made:
Seems a few people like the scarf.
I like the taller, more X-ish designs better then what they went with, but I’m rather partial to the X style in general, so i can admit a good deal of bias there.
I do wish they had kept the Sentai style scarf tho. Love those things.
They should add the cape back. And I’m partial to the design myself. Maybe they’ll add alternate costumes at some point, I’ll love to see those in-game
I like the scarf design. It’s the coolest looking design.
not just the scarf but the orange made him stand out more.
yeah, a alt is in order…
It would be cool to see the scarf in the game, even if not out in the beginning, maybe through story or hidden secret. It seems to be a fan favorite from all the comments.
In the end I love the final design they went with.
The scarf was the ebst thing about Command Mission. Which says alot, that game was cool.
Wouldn’t care if any of those made it into the final game.
I think almost all of them look pretty cool.
I’m in the minority here that thinks the scarf is best left to someone else. I’m just thinking from a transforming robot perspective here but I wouldn’t want some dangly bit of cloth hanging from the back of my neck when I turn into a flying t-rex tank. That and it reminds me of command mission and I’m already over Inafune’s designs being retreads. If he wants to push platforming forward like he says he wants to he needs to push his design forward too and I think that’s the path he is on now.
HOWEVER! Dashes of orange or other warm colors would be nice to see when he transforms. Like if he get’s rocket launcher maybe the barrel and a few other dots on his arm should glow orange. Also alternate outfits/colors are always welcome.
A scarf wouldn’t necessarily have to be made of cloth. In Command Mission, X’s ‘scarf’ was made purely of energy, and served the purpose of jamming enemy transmissions.
^Bust I know that but even so cloth or no cloth I just like for Mighty to be more like Vectorman than Mega Man X Command Mission or Proto Man.
This is the ‘base’ game. It’s Beck’s introduction. It’s tradition for a character to start off as a simple design and grow into others as the series demands. It’d be more limiting to start off with a scarf being a part of his icon right from the off.
Xbocks and PS3 version…
I think I’m happy with that…
That extra boss stretch goal is killing me on the inside, but I can deal if it doesn’t happen I guess…
Am I the only one hoping for a 3DS port?
^Here? Maybe. Clearly from all the talk mentioned in the comments fans want a 3DS version. Which is funny considering no one knows what graphical fidelity is being aimed for with this game. If the lead platform is PC and the first ports or going to Xbox 360 and PS3 one has to think that just maaaaybe this game might be a little too much for the 3DS. Sure we could have a toned down version suitable to the hardware but meh.
It would probably sell better on 3DS. Very few PS360 owners know or care about Mega Man or this style of game.
The X like and the Iron Man with a Jacket and a shield are my favorites
Sweeping generalizations, ho!
