Kalinka and Dr.Cossack could get involved in MM8bdm

[Demendes]

Why not? CutmanMike and the others can make them participate in the storyline of MM8BDM and give them some moment of spotlight. They didn't got their part since the MM4 part was covered by the tournament.

A good idea is to make them involved by making them an helpful ally of Dr. Light in fighting against the Roboenza or some other stuff.

btw, MM8BDM takes place after Megaman 6 but replaces everything afterward.
Though in Megaman 8 it is unmentioned that Duo was supposedly rebuilt by Cossack (or at least he helped)

[SmashTheEchidna]

Light does mention that he sent Duo over to Dr. Cossack for repairs in the MM8 storyline.

I'd personally would love to see some sort of new hub-area.
Maybe have it being Dr. Cossack's Citadel?
Of course with new things you can do, instead of just skin changing, weapon testing and stage select.
I don't know what though, maybe target practice or something like that.

Maybe it could be some kind of unlockable HUD after finishing the main six chapters where you pick episodes from MM7 and beyond?

Or maybe an alternate Hub, like Ghoulltine said. On Start, you would have three options.

Single Player - The current Hub we have now, Dr. Light Labs
Alternate Hub - Go to a diferrent Hub, which is Dr. Cossack Citadel.
Credits - Look at the current version credits.

Instead of "Single Player" and "Alternate Hub", how about "Dr. Light's Lab" and "Dr. Cossack's Lab"?

Genius!
Doom did the same thing, having 2-5 selectable chapters to play each game.
