Do you guys feel that? You know, that electric feeling in the air that tingles the hairs on the back of your neck and revitalizes your inner optimist? It's back, guys! Hope has returned to the hopefuls of DASH and I'll murder a Capcom employee if they strike us down again.
Onwards, I say! Onwards to a bright future where growing young adults like you and I can reimmerse ourselves in the world that brought a glimmer of joy into our souls, that tickled our intellect with its witty humor, and proved that gaming can be more than just polygons and a reload button.
...Ahem...so, yeah. Inufane, you have all my support! Grow a pair, like you did so long ago, and go for broke!

(nowadays I'd put that at about every half a year)

Hum... well at least he's thinkjing on making it but.. yeah I kinda understand him... Capcom took a risk at making Megaman 9 and apparently it was worth it... Mr.Inafune is afraid of that not happening with Legends.

Aw, come on, Green, it's fun riding the Legends Fandom Emotional Roller Coaster! I mean, it sure beats the brains out of apathy.

I don't think you've given apathy a fair shot, Miss Dashe. As annoying as these many many DASH 3 speculation topics that just keep popping up these days are, it's pretty funny to watch, to be perfectly frank.

I forgot to mention that I would support this game all the way(incase they're reading this :12: ). LBP2 is definitely coming out before Legends 3 and it'd be funny if we could make a "meta-game" of Inafune trying to make MML3. I mention that because fan projects may be the kinda relief he's looking for. Though there's plenty of that on these boards.
I do feel the electricity in the air and I do feel it's different from all those other times. Of course, I'm probably just fooling myself here but the tease he gave back at comic-con was very transparent in my opinion. So much so that if it turns out not to be Legends 3 then I'll be a little disappointed with Inafune. I've mention this before but he knows exactly what that quote would do to the fan base and he should of known better, if it's not Legends 3. I wont really blame Capcom since they're a company that exist to make money. To that extent I would never really blame Inafune if he never made Legends 3, until he starts throwing around these (shallow?) promises and teases.
If they're actually making Legends 3, or actually plan on making in the future, I'll support it all the way. I'll do my best in spreading the word on other message boards, I'll do my best in making this board more active, and I'll do my best in evangelizing the previous games in the series as classics or lost gems.

Good news at least he is honest and he is telling us that he does know that we want and he wants to make it. But he has to look at it as a producer and will we still want it when it is coming to the stages for the development. We will have to wait but at least we know what is what is going on. I will wait another year if I have to.

I don't think you've given apathy a fair shot, Miss Dashe. As annoying as these many many DASH 3 speculation topics that just keep popping up these days are, it's pretty funny to watch, to be perfectly frank. It was called the 2009-2010 school year. :22: Jokes aside, if the boards are more motivated toward intelligent speculation now than they've been in the last few years, I'm not complaining in the least. And hey, at least you're finding humor in it! I forgot to mention that I would support this game all the way(incase they're reading this :12: ). LBP2 is definitely coming out before Legends 3 and it'd be funny if we could make a "meta-game" of Inafune trying to make MML3. I mention that because fan projects may be the kinda relief he's looking for. Though there's plenty of that on these boards. That would be hilarious. Keep it simple, just a one-stage deal so you're not pulling out hair over it. Oooh, fanbase control. I never really considered that as a possibility, but looking over five years of posts, I've got a feeling it's got to be absolutely necessary with a production like this. Especially with a fanbase that's been tortured as long as we have. I don't remember where I read it but someone once branded us as the 'most abused Mega Man fanbase' or something like that, and it's a known fact that when a bunch of people get jerked around enough, they grow increasingly liable to snap. I mean, imagine if they start production and we get access to every detail as it happens. Sounds fun, right? Not so much if they decide to pull the plug on the project before it hits the shelves. Look at it this way: So Traingham thinks he'd kill a Capcom employee if TGS yields nothing...but if he'd been fed promo shots and shots of in-progress game assets all this time and then some big-shot jumps in and goes, "Oh, by the way, Legends 3's been canceled," I'd fear for that entire development team's life the way the lot of us have evolved over the years. Either that, or we'd just quit the race altogether and sit on the sidelines with Green to laugh at everyone still running it. I mean, even if Inafune said they were making it, the very real possibility of an in-progress cancellation could set the fans off. Hear, hear! Bonne emblem T-shirts for everyone!

Well at least this thread title actually refers to the recent Legends 3 rumors stemming from Inafune's statements as something more specific than "this". I say we keep this one and forget all the others. Ambiguous message board thread titles is a pet peeve of mine. lol ;D

lol ok Dashe you win, I could be ignorant and lash back but that would be very stupid to say the least.
But man i'm glad i just got a place to talk to other Legends fans like this. It's amazing!!
But i have a question, what does everyone else think it COULD be?
Excluding portable releases.(Because i stated in my last post i highly doubt it's X or classic related)

But i have a question, what does everyone else think it COULD be? Inafune's next unveiling's supposed to be oft-requested, so it's most likely a continuation of something established. Or maybe Mega Man Axl, but I haven't heard that get dropped around in a long while. So that means it could be: - Some ZX thing (more likely, IMO, even though that's IntiCreates territory) - Mega Man Axl or some other X spinoff (Probably not quite so likely) - A totally remade Legends...after all, there are new Bonne models and new Kattelox models in Marvel vs. Capcom 3...a new Barcon, a new intro ruin...and if Inafune says it's not Legends 3, that doesn't rule out our series entirely. He could be testing the waters with that even. - Or it could still be Legends 3.

Never mind, yea those are good options. lol sorry i had no clue. But ask yourself out of all of those which sound more logical? You think Capcom would fill up with even more titles on the Ds then they have already stacked?

Right now I'm thinking that based on Inafune's commentary, I'm pretty sure whatever's hitting TGS is Legends-related. Just skimming the Capcom Unity suggestion box, while I do see a lot of Mega Man Legends 3 running rampant, there are also multiple requests for remakes or downloads of the first two to prime a new audience for a third game.
I know I've probably flip-flopped on this subject more often than a sleazy politician during the election season, but that's what happens when you're actively brainstorming.
So far from the ANN commentary, the scene at Comic Con, and Inafuen's blog post, we've deduced that Inafune's getting nervous about something, that he'll be unveiling a highly requested Mega Man project before the year's up, and that TGS is probably the only venture they could be doing this at. While he might be pulling a poker face for Legends 3, releasing a third game to a mostly fresh audience who'll be wondering what happened to 1 and 2 is a risk, which most big companies don't like doing. I'm going to take his comments at face value. He's not making Mega Man Legends 3. Yet.
So it only makes sense that he'd be priming his target audience for Mega Man Legends 3 by releasing 1 and 2 again, souped up so they can compete in today's market.

That is if he's referring to the US audience. Remember that the first two Japanese games were already ported to the PSP. Plus they got that one cell phone game. So Japan, Capcom's main audience, would have had the chance to play the games if they haven't already.

What RockBuster said.
And the PSP ports of Rockman DASH 1 and 2 have done quite well from what I gather. It's been re-issued at least twice; once as a "Best Of" kind of deal ("Capcom Collection" or something) and again with both games on a single UMD.
