Your Top 5 Excuses For Capcom Putting Off MML3

[DeltaTrigger7]

Yeah, I know it's because Keiji Inafune realizes that the sales weren't that great for the series. He wants to do MML3, but can't "afford" it. Still, let's take this from the viewpoint that we had before his announcement that "MML3 is his dream game to make".

Give your TOP FIVE FANTASIZED EXCUSES that Capcom had for putting MML3 off for so long. It doesn't matter if they're ridiculous, just so as long as they are clean, appropriate, and follow the forum rules.

Here are mine:

1. Capcom would be sued by the authors of Alternate Trigger for bringing out the new game JUST before they finished Part Four of the comic. (no offense)
2. Keiji died and he has a stunt double stalling for time.
3. Keiji is still trying to play through MML2 within two hours.
4. The Capcom officials are waiting to see if we're serious about all those threats. ;D
5. Capcom claims that consciousness is irrelevant, and we are conscious of something that may not be conscious, and so MML, TMoTB, and MML2 are just figments of imagination that were arroused by chance, and so MML3 may never come out.

Your turn.

1. Capcom hates Legends but likes the other series.
2. Capcom hates the Legends-Station and thus the reason for no MML3. (no offense to Legends-Station)
3. Capcom forgets that Mega Man Legends ever existed.
4. They don't take our petition serious
5. They have enough money but just lie about it

There's my thoughts.

[Breakman]

1. They did make MML3, but the ESRB was going to give it a M rating because it had Glyde flipping off Roll and Tron.
2. They did make it, but they are holding it off until Megaman's 50th Anniversary.
3. They don't have the technology and/or imagination to make a MML3.
4. Parents now object having a Rated E game character having the name "Trigger."
5. (As you both said) they have explosive amnesia when they hear "Megaman Legends" or "Rockman Dash"!

[Pitch]

• Capcom is torn about whether MegaMan belongs with Roll or Tron; those in favor of either scenario refuse to do anything until those in favor of the other agree to side with them. Keiji wants to pair MegaMan and Zero . . . somehow.
  
• It's almost finished but the final update costs ¥1,068,490,120(roughly $9,999,999 USD[$9,959,999.64 Canadian] {Google figures as of 2008-01-31; likely will vary over time}).
  
• Keiji refuses to work on the game until he can clear the class S Digger's License Test in Legends 2.

  Since I'm out of ideas, a couple of the real reasons:
  
• It would take a lot of work: something Capcom hasn't put into a MegaMan game in a long time. This is especially true if Inafune really does want to make it a big game, but I really think that was just an excuse to get more time. In fact, well.. look what we ended up with.
  
• Following off the point above, Star Force has to be eating up the time that the formerly Battle Network team has, I'd imagine(if I'm wrong and a different team is working on Star Force, feel free to yell at me); and of course as we know, a part of the Legends team(all of it?) was onboard with the Battle Network team, so there you go. Instead of a revival for DASH's ten year anniversary, we got a new Battle Network for MegaMan's 20th. I'm not saying that was entirely bad, but well . . . have you seen Star Force*?
  
  ..yeah.

5. They're waiting for more fans to come.
4. Zero has put them under a hypnotic trance.
3. They're busy playing MMORPGs.
2. CAPCOM is arguing with Tron about her role in it.
1. It's already made, but if it were released, it would be so good that everybody would spend the rest of their life playing it, and everybody would die from not eating, drinking or sleeping enough, causing the human race to be extinct.
