Mega Man Legends 3 Cancelled


Wow. Just wow. Capcom has pulled the plug on Mega Man Legends 3. I've no words. Read Greg's announcement here:

"We'd like to thank you for your ongoing loyal support of Mega Man Legends 3. Today, however, we must regrettably announce the discontinuation of this project.

From the outset the MML3 Project was intended to give gamers across the world insight and input into the development process. Part of this process includes an assessment of whether the title will go into full production, and is based on a number of criteria with input from different sectors of the company.

Unfortunately it was not felt that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project met the required criteria, and it is with regret that we must announce that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project has been cancelled, meaning that Capcom will not be releasing the Prototype or the full game. Additionally, updates of the Mega Man Legends Developer Room will cease as of today, though the North American Developer Room and its forums will remain open indefinitely.

We can only express our deepest apologies to all of you who have lent us your unending support, including participation in the Mega Man Legends 3 Developer Room. On behalf of the entire Legends team, please accept our sincere apology for failing to meet the expectations of the fans.

We thank you all so much for your extended support of this title and this community, and we hope that you will continue to support the Mega Man franchise as well as other Capcom games."

"Boycotting to get it un-cancelled is not only like throwing a tantrum when your mom said you couldnt have a chocolate bar, but you act like you have the right to impose your agenda on the company jus cuz u mad. The whole world stops because youre treated soooooo terribly, and the game you were looking forward to didnt come out :,("

    "you guys are pack-mentality-ing like morons"

    "Get a life, "

    Do you really think this flat-out insulting of anyone disappointed by this game's cancellation is going to change those people's opinions?

    I'm not going to even focus on your points-- I'm going to focus only on your bad behavior. Do you actually think telling said people they have no lives, calling them "morons, " and calling them "immature" in such a shitty, narcissistic manner is going to make them lighten up?

    This shitty behavior is pretty much the reason as to why the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase is divided with their own intrests and endlessly defame anyone who doesn't agree with their taste instead of maturely debating about such a problem. You will not reach any common ground acting like this.

  2. Honestly, I was pretty shocked hearing about MML3. It ruined my day. But, if Capcom is over with MML3, can't they do what they did with Maverick Hunter X? Like make better version with better graphics and new voice acting of the first and second MML's? At least to keep the Legends series alive like they tried to do with the X series. To do a remake. I would even be happy with Megaman Legends double-pack, or collection that offers both games. A simple thing like a remake of Legends 1 would make happy for a while. Hmmmm Tayo?

  3. @ Tayo:

    Can Capcom at least make a remake of Legends 1&2, like they did with Maverick hunter X? Or offer a 2-pack that offers both of the games. It's they can do for the fans.
