Hah, you're the one who speaks Japanese, not me. It isn't like there are any MH localizations in queue for the west. You're in more of a position to tell anything to them than I ever will be. Speaking of speaking Japanese, I can't seem to find any stock quotes for Comcept and Intercept. They're new, so at this point in time their share prices are most likely lower (assuming they're on the market, even), and unlike Capcom, they're headed in a very good direction. With Inafune's willingness to take risks and try new things within the gaming industry and in others, I wouldn't be surprised if their stock were to skyrocket at some point in the foreseeable future. If some DASH fans were to become major shareholders, even if the actual DASH 3 were to be out of the question, it doesn't seem completely unreasonable to request development of a game with fans of the DASH series in mind--a game faithful to the tone of the DASH games, with the same lighthearted energy, another memorable cast of characters, and a world full of NPC bit players that react to in-game events the way the DASH NPCs did. Another exploration-based game with a cheery look and a lot of heart, even if it's under a different name with a different story, if that makes any sort of sense. I'd like having another game I could tack onto the upper half of my top five.

I find that to be an interesting idea if the fans were to buy enough shares for CAPCOM to actually listen to them. But, I think those shares would be too expensive for an average fan to afford it.

Dashe, A 'Spiritual Sequel' would be pretty awesome, especially if developed by Inafune! It wouldn't be Legends, but it would be Legends. The world needs more games like Legends, it always did, so a new game in the same spirit would be fantastic.

Well I kind of gave up on a MML 3 ever bieing after like three years witout any signs of such, and to be honest I wasn't entirly sure I'd be happy with any simple ending that could have been made. I suppose if the game made a little more expansion and upgrade mabe it would have made more fans. I've aways felt that the games of megaman wern't given 100% of interest for effort in any of the games of the title, more like it was just back seat game they made once in a while. Even though MML really sparked my interst in playing magaman truly it stil felt like a game they hardly gave the time or effort to make really well.

Ahhh nooo, I thought this thread would get buried. :21: Due to all of the analyzing we were able to do on the Prototype due to a recent interview that was released to the public, we can conclude that all of the devs DID care passionately about the series, and were overjoyed to take part in expanding it. Legends 2 did have a port for the PSP, as far as I'm aware, if that counts as "upgrades" for you. Even though I think only the Japanese version was ported, it's still fully playable, as long as you have knowledge as to what they're saying. Pokte Quizzes, anyone?Don't forget. Those titles are over 10 years old now, and how much effort they put into those in retrospect to what is happening now is irrelevant. They DID put forth effort on Legends 3, but it got shut down because the big boys are scared to take chances. Or something like that. They never gave us any concrete reasoning.

I have to say that I kinda saw this coming. I didn't really have high hopes for this. Need I remind you that it has been 10 years. The 2nd one didn't really leave off on a high note for some people. Why do you think they have waited so long? They probably didn't like how the second one ended and just forgot about the game series. Need I remind you this is Capcom were talking about. Everything is about money.

That's quite a bit of negative energy. Nobody needs to be reminded that it's been 10 years twice (reread my post above yours.) And I don't quite understand exactly get what you mean by Legends 2 "leaving off on a high note." (probably because it's irrelevant.) The Prototype was polished, clean, perfect, and ready to go! Whether it was too big for the 3DS eShop, as a few people think, be true or not, they should have thought of a different solution, if it was the case. The fact that you say "they didn't like how the second one ended and just forgot" is completely untrue. It sounds like you have to read the article I linked in the post above yours, which gives quite a few details on the entirety of the Prototype.
Last but not least, Capcom may be a big company, and yes, it's all about money, but they still wanted to at least try to make Legends 3 happen, for the sake of the fans. For whatever reason, they pulled the plug. If you're going to try and thrust sales figures upon this, then it's unfair. But seriously, how would the average consumer see the Legends 3 demo in comparison to the rest of the stuff on the eShop? How about in comparison to the rest of the 3DS games that are currently available? It's no Ocarina of Time remake, it's its OWN THING. I'd bet that consumer would give it a whirl to see what kind of thing it really was. I definitely would have liked to see where all of this would have gone, but alas. Can this thread just die now?

Legends 3 wasn't just cancelled, it was cancelled in an extraordinarily unjust and irrational manner. If we never talk about it and try to forget it because it's too painful, isn't that doing the series itself a disservice? In the last year, Legends has had more exposure than it's had since it's initial run. The only way we'll ever see it attended to again certainly isn't by trying to sweep it under the rug. This guy puts it all pretty well. I know it hurts to have to face the cancellation head-on, but it's a lot more admirable to take it in, realize how wrong it was, and do something about it, at least in my opinion, than just trying to gloss over it and pretend it never happened.

I don't think we can pretend for a minute that Capcom executives wanted this game made at all. The developers obviously cared alot about that game and I don't think any of the MML community has once blamed the devs themselves at all. I think the popular perception of the cancellation is that the Japanese executives laid the hammer down because they were afraid of risk, making a unreasonable and rather heartless decision to kill a project before it could be rightfully tested in market. You can go ahead and factor in us waiting for 10 years, having us come up with ideas for the game, and the fairly cold way they executed the announcement that the game was canceled by giving us the 'Yeah it sucks, but that's just the way it is' speech.
Really the whole ordeal hurts alot, and I don't think being okay with what happened is okay. I know it feels like we cant' do anything about it, we sent in letters, made countless youtube rants, raged up every corner of the video game internets, called the CoA phones, and convinced my videogame sites to pick up on the story, and maybe the truth is we can't do anything, but to just lay down and accept that as the nature of the industry is just wrong. I plan to spit flames about Capcom for years to come. They've lost me as a costumer for life, it would be weak of principle for me to give money to someone after they spit in my face.

Take this with a huge grain of salt! Heck, I should probably just pass around some salt licks for this one. I realize that it could be really unlikely that this leak is true, but some of the stuff has come true already, and at this point there's nothing to lose in terms of hoping for a sequel. TGS lasts until the 18th, so I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for the time being.

The fact that some of those things had come true already does put my hopes up a bit. If what would happen to Legends 3 were to be true, the world would spin off its axis from the fans jumping for joy

OH MY GOD-Wait. November? :15: So basically we get 2 months before finding out the awesome truth, or that someone was being a ********************? Ah well. At least that gives us something to look forward to, besides Cave Story. Seems like November is going to be the month of the year.

Oh no, this'll all (supposedly) be revealed at TGS, which has already started and will last until the 18th. So within a few days we'll know if the list is a hoax or not. If the list is true then the game itself (and the Devroom, I suppose) will be re-booted in November.
This would be a rather interesting turn of events, though, and not just for MML3. I've been planning on getting a PS3 for some time now due to a few games catching my eye (UMvC3 and SFxT), and having the ability to finally play MoTB after all these years would sweeten the deal by far. That and the fact that MM7 and 8 never got proper re-releases due to the MMAC versions being garbage.

I'm personally not believing anything until I hear it from a reputable source.
