I think that would probably make things worse. Unless the prototype was really awful.Father_Brain said:Yeesh, if they wanted to avoid anger over this decision, all they'd have needed to do would be to release Prototype Version first.
Riposte said:I don't understand why people want to boycott games or are hoping other games bomb, like Dragon's Dogma. Don't you like videogames? What if Capcom releases a game you want to play? This thread seems really thick with angry fanboyism to the point of a mob mentality. Not a lot of thinking going on.

TheUnknownForce said:How it went down in my derped mind.
"3DS is the next DS. We put all our money on PSP games first and that was bad. We need to support this big thing baaaadly! But we need games at the launch so we'll send a beefed up port and compilation-port-thingie. The big stuff'll come later, if they sell. Oh you want Megaman Legends 3? Ehhhh, well, Inafune is here, so we won't kill you for asking, come again later. That Universe game, though, it's on XBLA and PSN so GREEENLIT!"
...
"Oh, good, Inafune left. We can drop all Megaman projects already greenlit and move on with becoming a Western-focused publisher with the occasional Monster Hunter for Japan. Legends 3 isn't greenlit, so we won't cancel it now. Besides, it's on 3DS! It can't fail, what with the ports everyone put onto it at launch!"
...
"Oh, 3DS is a bit expensive it seems...and our big port launch title sold well but we shipped a million and it clearly didn't need that many at launch. Maybe it'll pick up a lot of steam shortly! As for Legends 3...we'll force them to release a prototype of it. Then when we cancel it and dash the fanbase's hearts and minds, we'll never need to speak of it ever again. GREAT PR MOVE!"
...
"Oh, 3DS didn't really boost up as we thought. DS is still selling pretty well, too. Damn, and we already cancelled all our DS US releases after sending Okamiden to die. Prototype Version not ready? Delay it, just before E3 happens. There's no way this can go wrong at all."
...
"PS Vita has a lot of support heading its way, and our Mercenaries compilation is stumbling at that 'can't-remove-save-data' debacle. 3DS might recooperate by holiday, but we LIVE IN THE NOW. Legends 3 team, get in here! The game's cancelled. Now get to work on Dragon's Dogma for PSVita. IT CANT LOSE!"
Riposte said:There seems to be little to nothing to move. Like, this could be a case of "not getting the green light" rather than being canceled.

I'd love this more than MML. But the MML wounds will still be there.Serenade said:Watch them announce Megaman 11 at TGS.
On the other hand it was the one piece that was within reach. Simply canceling a far off game's one thing, something that's almost RIGHT THERE and is all we'd ever have is worse when it comes to getting to play the game at all.Aeana said:I think that would probably make things worse. Unless the prototype was really awful.
Then deem the experiment a failure based on undivulged statistics and numbers. At least in that case people would point fingers at each other instead of Capcom.Father_Brain said:Yeesh, if they wanted to avoid anger over this decision, all they'd have needed to do would be to release Prototype Version first.
Even if it was awful, if they released it and it did horribly, I can understand why the project was canceled.Aeana said:I think that would probably make things worse. Unless the prototype was really awful.
Why would you do that? said:I'd love this more than MML. But the MML wounds will still be there.
Yes. Legends 3 was never, ever, EVER going to sell systems.Father_Brain said:also, lol, people will use literally anything as an excuse for OMG 3DS DOOMED

playoverwork said:Hey, fuck some of you guys. Capcom are still some of the best game designers around and while this does suck, they should have made it a multiplatform PS3/360/PC game anyways.

I just can't understand that.
BeautifulMemory said:Name some good Capcom has made recently. I dare you .
ShockingAlberto said:And people thought I was totally fucking crazy for pointing out that the 3DS's life cycle might trend more toward the Wii than the DS.
I'm not going to call those people out, mostly because I can't remember who it was, but isn't it all starting to seem eerily familiar? The downgraded ports, the missing games, the announced titles that then completely disappeared?
Roto13 said:Yes. Legends 3 was never, ever, EVER going to sell systems.
we wouldn't know since they aren't even developing their own games OH SNAP SONplayoverwork said:Capcom are still some of the best game designers around
Nah, I'm sure there are sheepmen that will still buy the continuous stream of 8-bit regurgitations.Kard8p3 said:To stay on topic though it sucks that this got cancelled. I guess this is the end for Mega Man.
Being a classic Mega Man fan, I was unreasonably happy with MM9 and MM10, while at the same time, I never really played Legends, though the games look really fun. But that's just me. I'm still really annoyed about this, though.AceBandage said:Really?
I mean, I enjoy the classic MegaMan style as much as the next guy, but we just had two of them. I'd much rather have a new Legends or at least a new X.
Who knows how much more money they would have had to spend before the prototype would have been ready for release on the 3DS store? Maybe even accounting for the projected number of sales of the prototype, they calculated that they would come out ahead by canceling now.Busaiku said:Even if it was awful, if they released it and it did horribly, I can understand why the project was canceled.
But they've already spent the money on the prototype, promoted it, and they're still not releasing it.
I just can't understand that.
I didn't say doom and gloom. The Wii is the best selling console in years.Father_Brain said:Drawing 3DS doom-and-gloom conclusions from a cancellation that seems to be driven primarily by internal politics? I expect better from you. :/
I mean, I don't claim to be able to judge whether your prediction is wrong or not, but this does not seem like a good title to use as supporting evidence.

Hahaha no. How about fuck your port begging? Sick of hearing "X SHOULD BE ON PS3/360".playoverwork said:Hey, fuck some of you guys. Capcom are still some of the best game designers around and while this does suck, they should have made it a multiplatform PS3/360/PC game anyways.
Gaming is dead. The upside is having no new games to buy frees up plenty of money to get into retro gaming, when things were good.RurouniZel said:... *sigh* What the fucking fuck is going on this year? Nintendo fail, Capcom fail, Sega fail, seriously what in the fucking fuck is going on??? >_<
