The question isn't in reference to me alone, its in reference to all the fine, well meaning Mega Man fans who have chosen to not give up in the face of insurmountable odds and fight to see a game that they oh so strongly believe should see a legitimate chance of being released. The fact that you keep avoiding my questions makes your constant involvement in this thread all that more questionable and I think I deserve a decent explanation as to why you are being excessively negative both to me and towards the people who want to see their favorite subseries of Mega Man games get another release. If anything, it is your constant dismissal of their actions combined with your refusal to even acknowledge my questions, which are directly pointed at you and your sucktastic attitude, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.Kerrby said:

His point is that the failure of the Megaman fans to meet half of their goal is evidence that Capcom has done nothing wrong in canceling the game. It's fair to be upset at Capcom for cancelling the game you are looking forward to (which all of us here are looking forward to). But in the end you must acknowledge that the Megaman series has never been as big as Mario or Street Fighter. In a modern video game world dominated by zombies and AK74s a series about androids killing each other has lost its relevance and it's a uphill task for Capcom to make a Megaman game that'll be finanically viable. So there must be a point where you stop hating Capcom and instead start hating Inafune for running the series to the ground. MML3 just came years too late.

No, he really has no point whatsoever. Inafune didn't run Mega Man into the ground and if anything, he was revitalizing the series right before he quit his job at Capcom. Its actually quite interesting how all Mega Man projects got shitcanned after he left his job there. I don't see how you can say the series was run into the ground when there were games like Mega Man Zero and its sequels, Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Battle Networks 1-3, Mega Man 9 & 10, Maverick Hunter X, and Mega Man Powered Up. These are all relatively recent games that absolutely shined quality wise and you cannot objectively disagree about that.scytheavatar said:

Honestly the only game recently that sold much were the 8-bit games and, like SF4, was fueled by nostalgia.

Well, I'm gonna be the guy to say it and mention that it didn't hurt sales that Mega Man 9 was probably the best game in the classic series.
Yeah, I went there.

You heard me!Ookami-kun said:
I'll agree 3 was at least as good if not better than 2 up until the Wily Stages. 3 had my least favorite Wily castle ever. Even the Yellow Devil didn't look right.
3 blows its end game load on the Doc Robot stages, which are probably pound for pound the toughest four stages in the entire franchise. They had nothing left for Wily, so they threw some short ass stages along with over generous e tanks together with some lackluster copycat bosses.
2 and 9 are overall better games, but 3 is a solid bronze choice.

This game got cancelled almost 3 months ago and the FB page isn't even at 50,000 yet? Man. Capcom made the right decision. I wonder how many of those 50k are just sympathizers who probably wouldn't have bought the game in the first place (like me).
If people gave a shit about this game, it would've hit double the target in a week. As it is, it's another Okami or worse.

It'd be 150,000+ right now if had Japan's support. But they don't believe in Facebook :cdiffusionx said:

Yeah, man, stupid 3DS. Why isn't it selling software at all. Like those 500K+ copies of SFIV and that 1.5 million copies of Ocarina of Time, 1 million copies of Nintendogs, 350K Layton in japan alone, and 250K copies of the awful RE Mercs.
No, don't blame 3DS. It's selling software just fine. This is an awful situation, but he's actually right. There SHOULD be more support for this if the game was likely to be successful. And what would have been better to make the game on? If you put it on PS360 you triple or possibly even quadruple the budget and need that many more sales to make a profit. No, it's not the 3DS's fault. Not at all. It's a cheap system to make games for now selling good software numbers and good hardware numbers.
Blame Capcom if you want, and I'm as big as a MML fan as exists, but if a Facebook page that's been promoted on every single major gaming site on the internet can't get 100,000 people to click "Like," do you really think it was going to be successful?
On the bright side, Keiji Inafune just announced his new game, which is in fact a 3DS title. It's a Romance of the Three Kingdoms pirate game, and being designed as a trilogy. Hope it makes it to the west!

You went and wrote an essay, I didnt say a word about sales. No one wants to buy a 3DS. Good games that are selling on the system is good for the people who own one. Also this game was canceled before the price drop. So you can't even go there. Still no one wants to buy a 3DS...

But really, simply putting a game on a "better" handheld won't make it sell more (especially after seeing what Vita is offering, its set doesn't make MML3 welcome)

Because it's pointless to keep fighting for a game that was obviously dead even while it was in development?AzureNightmare said:

Hahaha it always manages to get into random places!
X fanboys are really weird. Then again that's what happens when their blue hero never appeared as a playable character in crossovers compared to this game that had so many appearances as playable characters.

Why is it pointless? Historically Videogame companies have listened to large masses of angry and/or upset fans.CoffeeJanitor said:

I bought a 3DS for MML3.
I sold my 3DS because MML3 was cancelled.
Fuck you, Capcom.

I didn't realize they already had some voice recordings done for the project.
Man the second english sample was terrible.
I also didn't realize the Devroom group never got more members than the Lost Planet group.

OH JESUS THREAD BUMP JUST GIVE UP GUYS!1 AMIRITE!?
So we've got some developments worth mentioning, mostly New York Comic-Con centric:
So this is a real thing happening. That's right, the 100,000 strong group has their own NYCC booth, where our very own Capcom is also present as well.
On top of this there is an interview scheduled tomorrow between Seth Killian and the booth rep, so props to them for setting that up. Ending it all will be a "100,000" march to Capcom's booth with the intention to hand them a bound book full of fan stores and reactions to Legends.
Also Comcept is offering to make the game too. As is Cyber Connect. As is internal Capcom staff. Everyone except the Capcom execs. Yeah.
Anyway, thought this was all bump worthy.
Godspeed Legends booth people, you've made it pretty far.
