Capcom needs to stop treating Europe like an afterthought when it comes to Mega Man

Il problema

For the longest time, Capcom did a poor job in marketing the Megaman games in Europe, they treat it as a lesser market than the asian and american ones. This isn't anything new, they've done this since the very beginning.

The NES games were published by companies like Ubisoft, not by Capcom themself.

When they started publish them, they put fewer copies on the shelves, literally shooting themself in the foot (but they did't care since they treated the American and Asian market as their favourite child, AND THEY STILL ARE!)

And now they release Legacy Collections digital only while THE REST OF THE WORLD GETS THEM PHYSICAL. "But current gen consoles are region free" but your local GameStop from an european country cannot give you an insurance on your imported American/Asian copy.

Megaman 11 got a physical version in Europe on PS4 and Xbox One, BUT NOT ON SWITCH FOR SOME REASON.

And now, the reason why i made this petition: next year the Megaman Star Force Legacy Collection releases, as much i am excited to FINALLY play those games, it appears Capcom put too much effort on the QoL features than the games themselves. Basically, THE COLLECTION WILL ONLY HAVE ENGLISH, JAPANESE AND CHINESE (simplified and traditional) TRANSLATIONS, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, A TRAVESTY. STAR FORCE 1 AND 2 HAD ITALIAN, SPANISH, FRENCH AND GERMAN TRANSLATIONS, WHY DID THEY SUDDENLY DITCH THOSE TRANSLATIONS IF THEY HAD NO PROBLEM IN ADDING THE PAL VERSIONS OF MM9, MM10, X7, X8, ZERO 1-4, ZX AND ZXA IN THE PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS? And this collection will release in Europe digital only, AGAIN.

Capcom needs to WAKE UP, that WE Europeans are tired of being consodered the short end of the stick, the neglected child, AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

Megaman isn't the only one affected by this, the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection and the recent Marvel Vs. Capcom Collection got a physical release in Europe as FRIGGIN CODES IN A BOX, Monster Hunter Stories remaster is only available physically with a download code for Stories 2 in Europe, instead of being a standalone copy.

So, dear Capcom, PLEASE, PER FAVORE, S'IL VOUS PLAÎT, BITTE, POR FAVOR, お願いします, 请, 請, Release a proper physical version in Europe of the Megaman Star Force Legacy Collection and put the Italian, Spanish, French and German translations from the PAL versions of Star Force 1 and 2 in the Collection.
