Soo, according to this post, the MML3 project is officially discontinued.

Share your sentiments and griefs here.

What. [tornado fang]ing what.

Didn't meet WHAT criteria?!

[tornado fang] CAPCOM OF JAPAN.

Didn't meet the criteria of being a [tornado fang]ing corporate cash cow, obviously.

This is the last straw. Capcom is never getting any business from me again.

Sub Tank · **Reply #5 on:** July 19, 2011, 03:59:35 AM

Oh well I think we all saw this coming.

Sparky · **Reply #6 on:** July 19, 2011, 04:02:56 AM

If Capcom still wants to make money off MegaMan in general, they can port MM9 and MM10 to Steam.

And let Valve make promo items for TF2.

We did, but most of us were hoping to every known benevolent deity that MML3 would survive.

Didn't even release the Prototype Edition to see if it would print money. [tornado fang]ing hell.

Well, due to the cash Super Street Fighter produces every year I can see that. I pretty much saw that with all this food nonsense, we were doomed from the start.

Oh well, capcom better have their flame shields up, yer gonna get bombarded man.

Like hell. They're too busy laughing behind their piles of money. They don't care. Much like Square Enix, but even they seem to acknowledge what their fans want.

Atlus and Nintendo on the other hand, no matter what people may think of them, still know how to deliver fresh experiences that their fans WANT.

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2011, 04:44:12 AM

I got back online as soon as I found out.

Guys, I am so [hard knuckle]ing sorry. I don't particularly care for Legends for reasons I've stated a long, long time ago, but I'm not going to hate on it when other people enjoy it. I do...or did...understand the merit of it, and I was actually kind of looking forward to Barret's playstyle. Not to mention it would have been a positive step IP-wise for Megaman.

But this. This feels like Capcom died, today. Like, they've killed Megaman.

Most of you probably hate me by now, ~~some~~ most of you don't even know me, but I am here to help you guys vent (even at me). Let's all just ask and hope and wonder for what the future holds. Because as a Megaman Classic/X/BN nut, I've gotta say, this is some ****, right here.

Despite me not having as much interest in the DASH subseries as I do with the original and X series, I would have probably considered getting this one.

But after the departure of Keiji, it was almost obvious this project would go dead, after we saw what happened to Universe.

They say it has nothing to do with him leaving, but I have a very hard time believing that.

Don't forget NIS, too. Their games were decent, albiet hard (and sometimes even weird, but yet they get away with comedy gold).

I'd hate to say it though, but good going capcom, good going. Enjoy the shitstorm that's heading your direction.

Sad thing is, this was an originally-developed sequel to debut on new technology. It could have gotten the Megaman IP away from the largely unmarketable "little boy in spandex" image of the past and maybe ushered the IP into some sort of middle ground between old-school sensibility and modern design.

Not that there's anything wrong with the Classic MM design schema in my mind, but you can look at the dropping sales numbers and reactions to games and know that MM9 and MM10 were largely successful because of old series veterans, not new or current markets.

I feel that a little part of me died on the inside with the cancellation. I hope that Capcom is aware that they blew any chances of putting the Mega Man games back into the mainstream spotlight.

Police Girl · **Reply #18 on:** July 19, 2011, 05:50:55 AM

I'm pissed, mainly because I really enjoyed legends, I was psyched for the game.

Oh well, capcom just lost a customer. Got stuck in the "If its new or somewhat different from the norm then don't greenlight" mindset they seem to be known for lately.

Archer · **Reply #19 on:** July 19, 2011, 06:34:37 AM

Though you have to admit, Legends 3 being canceled did wonders for RPM.

The place was pretty much dead til now.

The Great Gonzo · **Reply #20 on:** July 19, 2011, 06:40:24 AM

Yeah, because the damn thing actually being released would've had no impact whatsoever.

yeesh.

Nekomata · **Reply #21 on:** July 19, 2011, 06:51:01 AM

Franchise has been dead since 2004, everyone just move on.

Well.. ZX came out in 06...
But like Legends, didnt go anywhere and was only riding on the Zero series success. (the series for which they continually pump out remixes for long after it ended)

News

It's dead, Jim.
