Remember our enigmatic friend "The Shadow"? The self proclaimed inside source that leaked several accurate Mega Man 9 details prior to the game's official announcement? Well he's at it again and this time he brings a most interesting bit of news that's sure to please many.
Hot on the heels of all that "fans will be happy soon" teasing by former Capcom staff member Hideki Kamiya, The Shadow sends word that a Mega Man Legends sequel is indeed currently in development at Capcom. The project is "very tight lipped" at the moment and as such, he cannot reveal further details at this time. However, official news on the project is expected to surface after Capcom shifts their focus away from Mega Man Universe. No time frame was disclosed.
Further, The Shadow could not confirm if the title of the game is actually "Mega Man Legends 3" because the project has no working name at this point. Nevertheless, it is considered to be the next entry in the series.
Despite The Shadow's track record, it's best to take this with a grain of salt. "Hope for the best, expect the worst", as they say. I'll be keeping you posted on any new developments should they arise.
Update: Many are requesting a source. The source is The Shadow himself. We've been in contact via e-mail for over a year and my curiosity about the Kamiya tweets got me thinking if he knew something. I shot him a message and a few hours later, we have the above tidbit.
I still think he should call himself "Shadow Man"
Would fit much better which him leaking Capcom stuff, don'tcha think?
Nah. His primary function is being a viral instigator of hype amongst the Blue Bomber fan base. "Hype Man" is more fitting! 8D
This is awesome news...I still need a DASH/Legends collection on consoles first though.
How close are we to the apocalypse now btw? First it was Duke Nukem Forever actually coming out, and DASH/Legends 3 gets added to that.

At this point, I doubt a collection would be worth it. The games haven't aged that well, and definitely aren't as revered as any of the Classic or X games, which doesn't abode well for sells, even for what should be a pretty easy thing to make. So, to me, the easy answer is to make use of PSN/Live.
Maybe we can chalk that up to more of Inafune's "westward shenanigans". No way could he allow what's basically a "legendary" Western title to finally emerge after all these years, and not have his own "answer" ready to go, too. 8D
Seven seals must be broken first.
Two are gone.
Next would be Half Life Episode 3, I think. Then... I dunno... FF7 remake?
Here's hoping!

For the apocalypse?
You monster.
Wait no........I meant Legends 3.I have to say, I lol'd.
I hope you all get what you wish for, though.
What, the end of the world?
You monsters!Can you really blame us for wanting it if it will bring long awaited games? 8D
Was Sonic 4 one of them?
Was Sonic 4 one of them?Somehow, I dont think so. It doesnt seem as "unbelievable". more like, it was obvious Sega would go there eventually once everything else stopped working out.
Legends 3 will be the new Duke Nukem Forever.You mean it isnt already?
Dude, if Legends 3 actually made it to development then got CANCELLED? Every Legends fan in the entire [tornado fang]ing WORLD would march on Capcom HQ and kick Inafune's ass.More or less, although the severity of the resulting riot would probably depend on what stage of development it was at. Is the game in concept? Tech demos? Functional engine? 99% ready for release but shafted to hype some other project until somebody leaks it over the internet?
You mean it isnt already?
Granted this game wasnt in development hell, but it pretty much fills the role anyway
You mean it isnt already?
It isn't.Right.
It isn't at all.
Unless I'm mistaken, in Japan there's Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World.
You can guess what we got it as.
flagjp Super Mario World SMB4 (SFC)
flagjp Super Mario Yoshi Island (SFC) flagus Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island
It's like Konami would name their next game Castlevania 5.Im totally fine with that.
With all that pressure from the fanbase and "that", I kinda feel bad for Inafune. Let's see if he can pull it off.
Two new games announced tomorrow for the early birds amongst you here http://www.capcom-europe.com/blog at 7am

Oh god yes. Also, if Gaia DARES rain on this parade, I'll punch him in the face personally.
I'm looking at you, Bat. I decree only ENJOYMENT of this DAY. MARK IT, MORTALS. CALENDAR IT!
You know he's [tornado fang]ing going too. :/
As for Gamma, I believe he left.
Anyway, [tornado fang] yeah. Just another reason for me to get the 3DS. Like I wasn't going to already. 8D
Just posting in this thread to let you all know I don't give a [parasitic bomb] about Legends 3.
Okay, bye.
