That's a Wikipedia article though. There was never any official declaration that "Legends is on hiatus", that's just the conclusion the article writer made based on the trend of releases and no other editor feels there's a more accurate way to describe it. Basically it tells us nothing we don't already know.
That's going to be the case for Wikipedia in general. It's written by ordinary people, not industry insiders. So it's only going to have a diluted sample of the info already collected on the fansites (i.e. right here).

I can never tell if his comments are "No." or "Yes." He's a flippin genius at mind games. Inafune would make Psycho Mantis wet himself.

If anyone here makes a cutout music video (a la JibJab) of Inafune singing "Poker Face," they will win a custom title and a place on my good list forever at the risk of looking like a total idiot to everyone else on the boards. You've got a month till TGS...ready...GO!

Darn, and here I'm out of a computer with only the PS3 to browse the net. PS3, it only does EVERYTHING (that one of the first computers ever made could).

Getting back on Subject: I wanted to clarify this since I just went through five websites to find out what Hiatus meant. Hiatus simply means "on Hold", or "on Break"...and like Raijin said, its not news MML is on hold.
However I'd disagree "Hiatus' is the proper term since is seems fore-mostly used for temporary holds that last, from my search's details, only a few months, it's been 10 years in MML's case.
I'd say it's, "on the Back Burner". Now it's our job as fans to get it to the main burner!

Hey, wait, it's not like this year's our only chance of seeing more Legends stuff! This past month I've been finding closeted Legends fans at least once a week. None of them had any clue there were other people out there who'd even heard of the series. And so far at least one of them has started finding more Legends fans on their own. None of them frequent any of the websites, and I doubt any of them will start, but I've certainly got people talking, especially since MvC3's just over the horizon.
I mean, look at the facts. Mega Man Legends-related stuff is dominating the Mega Man section at CU's suggestion box. The number of Legends-bashers has been on a steady decline since people started to realize Mega Man Legends 3 was turning into another Earthbound 2 and the longer we have to wait, the less of them there will be if there is an announcement. And apparently Legends was more popular in Japan? Seriously, if it was more popular over there, it's only a matter of time. Time is nothing to people who've been waiting this long.
And I'll be ready. Oh, I will be absolutely ready, with my printout Legends pennants and box of peanuts and cracker jacks. My dad will think I am a total nut job when he realizes that, in reality, I haven't picked an NFL team, I'm just shadowing a gaming conference halfway around the world. Any takers on who's going to have the first English report of the event posted online?

Any takers on who's going to have the first English report of the event posted online? It doesn't matter that much, since all the major Megaman and Capcom-centric sites will have the announcement up within 15 minutes anyway. If you gotta be the first to know, I'd spend the next week or so setting up a RSS reader, and then subscribing to all the major video game outlets that do *Con exposés. The 'major' gaming news sites tend to shuffle their feet, but the smaller ones who actually have a passion for it and aren't owned by a media conglomerate should have details as quickly as they can be found. Capcom Unity blogCapcom Unity twitterCapcom JPN (sure, it's Japanese, but just look for 'DASH' - it's always printed in Latin characters, like that) Protodude's Rockman CornerThe Megaman NetworkTGS' Twitter Also Japanese. Never know, might be able to squeeze something out of it. Just remember, on the day of, or day before, it begins, change the settings on the reader to 'update every 30 seconds'

lol Dashe i love that post.
Man oh man if it's really announced i dont know what I'd do...like just thinking about it possibly getting announced is like hyping me uncontrollably right now, I think i might just take a long a$$ walk and tell every person i see along the streets and say "Megaman Legends 3 baby!"
But that's too far fetched, as i'm doubting it's really Legends 3.(Legends related does not mean Legends 3 ya know?) Whatever happens i'll be ready and i'm ready for dissapointment, Not like i haven't experienced the worse already....

Well, technically you haven't experienced the worst. It could always be worse. I kind of think the guys at Starmen.net had it worse than we do...we've got cameos of our characters left and right. They had to go their entire wait with the very real prospect of Earthbound 2 dangling at the end of Nintendo's rope, just hanging there in front of their faces, like if you've ever had a cat and dangled one of those toy mice on a string in front of it, then pull it away like a total jerk and laugh while your cat spazzes out. They even got screenshots and playable demos to drool over. And then they finally release the game, and it's Japan-only. That's definitely got to be worse than ten years of nothing but a Japanese cell phone game. Then again, browsing the older posts of Starmen's Mother 3 forums felt like looking at a weird, distorted reflection of ourselves. Like finding the journal of the guy who was stranded on the deserted island before you and then reading about how he managed to flag down the military choppers in the end and get back home. Like that part in the first season of Digimon where the eight Digidestined found out there were other Digidestined kids who had to save the Digi-world long before they even got there. Good gravy those metaphors are terrible. That aside, there are a few things in the world that can infallibly bring people together. Taking down a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them, and waiting over ten years for a video game is another. If they ever do make Legends 3, this forum is going to become very different very quickly. People who've let Legends slip off their radar might come back to offer their congrats. Total n00bs will start flooding in like the plague. There's good and bad to everything, really--if it's not another Legends game after all, it won't be the end of the world. We'll at least have more time to enjoy the community we've got now while we've still got it. And if it is a new or updated or re-re-released Legends game, there will be PLENTY of bright side to look at, guaranteed. That in mind, I will be RSS-ing like a madman. This is the first major event I've been looking forward to in a long while. I seriously feel like a guy whose sports team is going to their championship.

Well said. Heh it's funny, because i can imagine the crowd it would bring here. I bet this would be everyone's FIRST stop for information, pics, music, etc. You guys have been around for a long time, and your still active. All I can say is I hope you and your mods are ready I also wonder if X fanboys will plague these threads? You wouldn't believe me when i say Volnutt and Legends is hated among various gamefaqs forums and around the Capcom-Unity(SOME parts of the site).
