Whole variety of news this past week, let's have a look-see:
No Plans For A New Mega Man Legends...For Now GamingUnion has an
interview with Capcom's Seth Killian up for reading, talking a little about the likelihood of a new Mega Man Legends among other things. His words make me very hopeful:
GU: Is Capcom planning anything new with the Mega Man Legends series such as a 3rd installment or us getting the PSP ports of the 1st two games from Japan?
Seth: After Marvel vs Capcom 2, MM Legends is probably one of our most fan-requested games. MM creator Keiji Inafune is certainly aware of the fans' request—his office is basically a shrine to the stuff he’s gotten from fans over the years. There are no plans right now, but Mega Man 9 came totally out of left-field, so you never know with that guy. If he gets inspired, and things can happen very quickly.
Well now, that gets me feeling a little hopeful...
Content "Removed" From Star Force 3 Surprised? Mega Man Star Force 3 continues the long tradition of removing content without any explanation. A preliminary list of everything cut below:
- Noise Kaizou Gear (SF3's equivalent to Wave Command Cards.)
- Rezon cards
- Secret Satellite Server (
- Majority of the Meteor Server Access
Strangely, most of these features can be brought back via hacking, leading some to believe that they weren't removed per se, rather, "locked." If that is the case, then said features might become "unlocked" through downloadable activation keys.
Maverick Hunter, Powered Up Coming To PlayStation Network According to the official
PlayStation blog, a boatload of Capcom PS1 and PSP titles will gradually make their way onto PSN, the first of which (Capcom Classics Collection Remixed) arrives tomorrow.
Among the lot, Mega Man Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X are scheduled to appear as "UMD Legacy" titles. No specific release date for either game have been set. Hope to see them sooner than later.

Horinouchi Teases Future Mega Man Projects A little something something that was overlooked in GameTrailer's
interview with Takeshi Horinouchi, the current Mega Man series producer:
GT: ANY SECRETS OR PREVIEWS YOU CAN SHARE ABOUT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THE MEGA MAN SERIES IN THE FUTURE?
TK: We are already moving ahead with several new plans not limited to a specific target or hardware, and are working hard to be able to tell you more about it. Please stay tuned!
If you're disappointed in Operate Shooting Star, keep your fingers crossed and hope that for something more to your liking will pop up in the near future.
