I got a realiable source that says legends 3 is being made right now... JK. You guys are getting pretty depressed. I know I have no right to talk since I started this topic but still. It will be made. It sells well in Japan. And Inafune loves the series. it will be made.

Perhaps we should change the title of the thread to "What that traitor Keiji is up to ." If he loves DASH so much, why did he refuse the plan for DASH3? It makes virtually no sense whatsoever! For the past couple of years we've been hearing stuff from Inafune about his "plans for 'getting around to' DASH3 in 'the near future'" and now this? What's the deal? (Oh and Mr. Inafune if you're reading this, MAKE DASH 3!!! PLEASE I IMPLORE YOU FORGET ALL THAT XBOX STUFF AND GET TRIGGER AND THE MOTHER UNITS OFF ELYSIUM!)

Oughta just give up any hope on a DASH 3 ever happening at all at this point. I mean, Inafune was the good guy, who said he'd like to work on it, despite Capcom's obvious alternate agenda. If he don't wanna make it, I'd say chances are the only way it'll be made is if Capcom wants to go against him and make it. Which pretty much means it'll suck. Ugh. I dunno why we even bother anymore...

Oh, come now. Just because murderer signs a confession statement, do we automatically believe him to be guilty? When the president is the only one who has the ability to fire those nuclear warheads he had aimed at the Middle East and they all fire, do we point our accusing fingers at him? When a man jumps from nowhere and beats an unsuspecting passerby over the head with a baseball bat in front of hundreds of witnesses, are we to simply believe their testimonies and assume that the poor man is guilty of assault, while in reality the defendant was attacking an alien being who was in disguise as a human and had just left the KFC underground reconnaissance base from which he had stolen the Colonel’s top secret recipe, with which he had planned to dominate the world through flavoring pieces of human flesh taken from the corpses of the dead resistance force and reselling them to the masses at a huge profit? What is the rest of the story, you are wondering? And why is our dear old Colonel holding a secret underground fortress? That is for a different thread. So there was no point to that. But perhaps it will lighten the mood. ... Actually, there was a point. I do not think that the series is done for just yet. Even if Inafune refuses, others can still take up the job. If Capcom feels they can make a profit out of it, they’ll find a way to do it. Not to mention that the translation was very vague. They come up to him and ask him to make the game, and he refuses? I’m sure that there is more to the story then just that. Perhaps he is planning something else. And even after that, we must question the authenticity of the translation itself. News like this will spread quickly enough. Give it some time. Besides that, if there really is no Legends 3, then why the heck release the two components to the series on PSP? If NxC will only be circulated in Japan (bloody little hoarders...), then they can’t expect to make tremendous sales with it in the states. Even if they release it only in Japan, they must be expecting it to do something. If not act as a prelude to DASH 3, then it must be simply to accompany NxC, because heaven knows it won’t sell otherwise, and even with NxC, how much do they expect to sell on a small side story in such a far-reaching video game? There will be little or no hype for this outside of Japan, and most people who own a PSP won’t care for it I’m sure. Releasing it without some sort of follow-up sounds like suicide, and I seriously doubt that Capcom is planning something of the sort. Maybe the PSP release was just for public relations. Maybe they wanted people to think that they care about those older games. Unlikely, but another possibility. All right, so not much of this post is very likely to be true. Nevertheless, they’re surely not planning to kill Legends now. It’s not as if it was a bad game. Surely they realize its potential to be one of their bestsellers? So far, Legends has had some horrible luck with fans due to the conditions under which it was released, but it is only luck. So perhaps our/their luck will be different this time. Anyway, someone besides Inafune making the game does not necessarily mean that it will be bad. They could just reassemble the bulk of the old team. If not, the game can still be fine under a different team. It might not be as nostalgic with a different style, but as long as it is done well, I’d be happy. And whatever they do, closure to the series would be a welcomed change from all of this nervous speculation. ... Or would it? What would we discuss here without such things? I wonder.

Well Mltmlt22, to answer all your questions...yes.
Maybe Inafune's suffering from multiple-personality disorder...(ok maybe not). But the sudden change of heart does confuse me a LOT.
Now what about MM9? Did Capcom blatantly go around releasing games with the original MM in it too? Did the original MM fans get this false hope too from Anniversary Collection, only to have their hopes and dreams stomped on? Did Inafune constantly tell them that he wanted to finish that series too?

Well... it is possible that he turned down Inti-whatever's plan for the games so that he himself could make 'em, but I didn't think he had that power.

I find it interesting that nowhere in the first post on this thread did it mention ANY Mega Man games--Just Onimusha, XBOX 360 titles, and I think a Resident Evil. What's the name of the group producing the Battle Network Series? I hear word that they're the guys who used to make Legends (and I believe it too--many of the townspeople look like Legends characters, and that series has the most Legends cameos out of all of them). Didn't Battle Network come out not long after the final Legends game was released? Maybe they're that Inti-thing everyone's talking about.

Dang. All right, fine, I'll give you that one, but what about... eh...
Well, it was an anniversary collection. This is different. They're just releasing this stuff out of nowhere. I'm grasping at straws now, but I am still not willing to believe that they are just going to let it die like this. You didn't see the original Megaman making cameos in joint videogame projects. Even with all of the statistics piled against us, there is still hope.
Yeah, I also read somewhere that they are the same group that produced Legends. So many cameos... surely they aren't just mocking us by creating so many Legends references in everything but making no game. With all of the subtle attention that the series gets, even in recent years, it is painful for me to believe that they plan to do nothing with the story. Will it become nothing but a gag series where people get to look for references everywhere but never see a sequel? Horrid. ._.

Well the only way to find out is if we beat the games and write down all the names in the credits. Have fun
I think Legends three will be made because I actually and truly believe it will be made. Now... am I going stand out in front of my house for years waiting for it's announcement and arrival? No. I play video game. I don't play Legends. If someone ask me if I play video games I don't say "No, I play Megaman Legends one, two and three if it comes out." You see what I'm saying? I want legends three... badly!!! If I knew how I would be making a fan game too. But I play other games out there and thats what we all need to do. Get some other games, characters, franchises, and genres into you blood stream. Because if you don't then you'll get riped apart by the truth that, people like us that sit around waiting for the games that are not Halo, come second to the big companies. Am I saying forget about DASH and move on? Hell no. But there are other games we could be playing at this very second.
As you could tell by the first post in this thread I was as crushed as you all are right now(In fact, looking back, I brought almost all the bad news into this forum, except for Pitches contribution of the Inti stuff, it was all me. port announcement, import review, and sales) but since then I've realized what I explained above.
I want Legends really bad!!! And I do twitch and the thought that part three might never get made. But when I look at the known games that are coming out. I see Megaman X Collection, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Final Fantasy XII, and all the Next- Gen hype. And that brings a big smile to my face. I know this is the Legends Forum and that we come to let off our legends thoughts here but I feel like you guys are imploding with all this negative news. Don't fret. I've said it before. We'll keep coming here whether Legends 3 come out or not right? Try not to sound so apocalyptic cause it's depressing even me.

Well, apparently 1up.com says the PSP port IS coming here (not till 2006, but it's supposed to be coming nonetheless) so we have that to be thankful for. The late release date seems to insinuate that they're planning to add something sooner or later too--a direct port would be coming way, way sooner, like within the next few months. So, we still have a chance. Who knows? Maybe it'll catch on and sell even better than Battle Network (honestly, I personally don't know anyone that plays that series from where I live, but there are like twenty people who love Legends to pieces, mostly because I forced them to try the game out against their will).
I could probably get my brother to beat Juno again and look for that Inti-thingy myself in the credits. He hasn't been playing anything BUT the Legends series for the past month and he's all depressed because he's way too young to join the forums.

Well dude, like you said, this is a Legends forum, and while it's definitely not the only game series I play it's definitely my favorite.. can't speak for everyone else though.
And it's not just that Inafune said there'd be no 3. It's that they got our hopes up and everything. A cameo, a re-release of the first two games, after about 5 years of pretty much nothing at all. That's like really cold-blooded, if you ask me. I mean, did all this PSP DASH-ness not make you believe that Capcom might be giving it a seconf chance? I sure did. In fact I was so confident of that that I hadta go all over online talking about it. *sigh* Of course at the same time it still makes me doubt that something isn't going to happen, but until I or someone else finds something proving that article thingy false there's really nothing else to be said about it.

I just did a brief Google search on IntiCreates. According to a bunch of different sites, they're responsible for Mega Man Zero, Battle Network's Battle Chip Challenge (none of the sites mention anything about the other Battle Network games), and various other little-known titles. Taking this into account, I just recently dug up my brother's copy of Mega Man Zero 2 and started it up. Sure enough, IntiCreates's logo appeared on the screen right after Capcom's. Now, if this obviously third-party (Fourth-party, since Capcom's already a third-party developer?) company had produced Legends, surely we would have seen its logo after Capcom's, just like with the Mega Man Zero 2 intro, right?
Keiji might just not have wanted these guys to make Legends. The stylistics of the Zero series are a huge graphical departure from other Mega Man Games. I never got through the levels, but I highly doubt that if they made Legends 3, it just wouldn't be the same. He might have just turned the offer down because he loved the DASH series too much to give it any drastic changes like that, and wanted to work on it himself.
(Why didn't any of us just google IntiCreates in the first place?)

(Why didn't any of us just google IntiCreates in the first place?) That would be too simple. ;D Yeah the idea of Inafune not wanting them too make it makes sense, and I wouldn't blame him. Ugh. The Zero series is just... bleh. I hate it. Of course, the Zero series is seeing a new game every year while we see nothing so.. yah.
