I personally don't want to see anyone named Protoman, but if the Digger in Aero's team had armor referencing Protoman that would be cool I guess. Honestly, Legends has a cast that always could stand on it's own without using the other series, so I hope the new Digger team does the same.

There is a lot more value to me in a character that was created specifically for the Legends series than someone ripped out of another game, no question. Devoting cartridge space to a multiplayer mode for a traditionally single-player game that people have been waiting ten years for doesn't seem like a very good idea at all. Multiplayer shouldn't be one of those mandatory bundle-ins with portable systems and it would definitely be more suited to another MoTB-like spinoff title. I'd prefer a good, solid single player experience with this one.

Seems like the dad or at least a father figure of sorts will be on the team, and one line of dialogue can only tell us so much. Here's hoping for Dantz and another digger from Ryship making a return, so that we can have some more of dem antics when on a dig-out. And multiplayer should be restricted to leaderboards for mini-games and ruin time-attacks (maybe some score attack for certain events).

Yeah, they'd have a hell of a time explaining that in the english version. Still, a ProtoMan based character sounds plenty cool to me, even if he doesn't share the name. Devoting cartridge space to a multiplayer mode for a traditionally single-player game that people have been waiting ten years for doesn't seem like a very good idea at all. 3DS cartridges have a nice high capacity though. Something like 2GB I've heard. I wouldn't want multiplayer to get in the way of the singleplayer experience either, but they should have quite a bit of room, no doubt about it. @darfox, I always forget about the potential Monster Hunter influence they mentioned early on. Could be interesting if they really are planning something like that. I still think you're nuts to be jumping the gun on that so soon, though. XP

Multiplayer that isn't a series of leaderboards for mini-games, time attacks, and score attacks (the middle and latter for story ruins and story-related optional ruins) is rather silly and out-of-place for what shall always be a single-player-focused game, and I don't see much merit in putting in playable multiplayer functions when we could have a couple ruins or three more.

Should there be a multi-player thread so that you guys can yell at me there? lol. If development really is at 5 percent then even if they want to do multi-player that doesn't mean it's going to make it in. People have talked a lot about how harsh development can be and how you sometime have to reel back the scope of the project. So even if they do intend to include multi-player there's still the possibility that it doesn't make it in. I think we'd all like to assume that if the project is under trouble(god forbid) that a multi-player mode would get scraped years before single player content will get scraped.
So even if it's fair to assume that they want to include multi-player(simply judging from the trends in hand-held gaming in Japan) it's foolish of me to believe, in absolute, that this game is going to include it. I'm just speculating.
Speaking specifically of Dashe's fears. There are example of multi-player modes detracting from single player and there are examples of it not impacting it. Two recent examples would be Resistance 2 and Uncharted 2. Resistance 2 has a relatively drab Single Player and even the developers have admitted it was because of the extra modes they also worked on. They spread themselves too thin and none of the modes were as fun as they could of been. Uncharted 2, on the other hand, has one of the best Single Player campaigns in recent history(as far as action adventure goes) and they managed to include a pretty cool Multi-Player mode on top of it. People were worried and critical when they announced U2 was gonna have MP but the developers handled it well. So it can go both ways and hopefully if the team developing Legends 3 has any MP aspirations they only do it if they have the time and money to not affect the SP.

Should there be a multi-player thread so that you guys can yell at me there? lol. ∗ raises hand ∗ I would prefer that, if you mean to drag the discussion out a bit more. It'd be easier to track things down in the future if you scoped it out to a new topic. If you don't have anything to say that doesn't have to do with this news, though, you can probably just leave it here. >_< It's an interesting thought really. I'm not really big on the emphasis on multiplayer games these days, being more of a singleplayer man myself. (read: introverted) But there are some pretty cool things going on in the world of multiplayer games, that's for sure. I think the main problem you're gonna have in this case is that people will have such a hard time picturing that for Legends. I could see Capcom embracing multiplayer for this game because of those recent trends, but I could also see them trying to stick as much to the original formula as possible. And there are pluses and minuses to both. And without any clear indication of any intentions to do multiplayer, I'm going to assume they're not planning it yet. I still just think it's too soon to be expecting this. My 2¢. EDIT: Hey, just a note to mention, Unity's picked up the wallpaper now too. Head over and get it. Not that it's much different from the wallpaper on the Japanese Devroom, except it's got the english logo on it. ∗ adds to mml3 folder ∗ There's also mention of Servbot badges on the Unity devroom. And more special badges in the future. So, if you're into that kind of thing... There's also mention of a Christmas present campaign or something further down. No idea what that's about. It's not really related, although the timing is awfully close. Maybe it'll deserve its own topic later.

I've got my Servbot badge...Littlest Legion...wonder what that's supposed to mean? Whatever it is, it made my number disappear from its usual spot. Yay glitches! :-\ I think I'm actually going to change my desktop background this time--the colors look really nice, and I haven't changed it since my MvC3 "Legends Never Die!!!" Tron popped up back in September. If their Christmas Present Campaign winds up being a knockoff of our Secret Santa I'm going to have to start wondering if Capcom's lurking around here.

Oh man, the Data on the new wallpaper looks so cute! :3 Also, yay for the progress of the project! It's not much but hey, the project began only a few months ago so it seems to me like an acceptable amount of progress.

It seems like the project's been going on for much, much longer than it really has.

I really hope we get more wallpapers, too. And we probably will. And I'll probably print them all. I'd like to see one of all three Bonnes together again, myself. That really shouldn't be too much to ask of them. :-\

Oh yeah, we're definitely getting more wallpapers, it's just a question of when, and how many. What are we at now? Like one wallpaper per month? I guess that's not a bad rate, but I'd like to see like, loads of them. Like, with everybody (or everybody who's going to appear in the game at least). And I'm sure we'll get a full blown Bonne wallpaper for one of them — it's really just a matter of time. Meanwhile, I'd bet on that happening before anything specific I'm hoping for happens. (... :1A:) So yeah; just gotta be patient, I guess.

Those different wallpaper ideas look pretty nice....I want them to make the other two as well, I especially want the third one since Tron looks so cute. I want wallpapers of Trigger, honestly. But I'm happy with anything they're willing to give us!
