Another thought came to my mind. If they would create and release a Dash 3, what would happen to the people that have never played it the series before. They will all go, "WTF!? Why is that person on the moon and want is that Master System..Blah..Blah?" I think that would be easily remedied by having a video about what happened in DASH 1 and 2 before the game actually starts. If the developers tried to make it seem epic and such, it also may grab attention.

That's what they did with Final Fantasy VII Advent Children; they had an intro video with relevant gameplay clips from the actual game.

Even if Infaune had the funding for MML3, It's not only his decision, Although Capcom had great sellers titles , I'm kinda getting tired of them. Megaman x had millions of titles and all of them were exactly the same , Megaman Legends 1 and 2 weren't as famous as Megaman X since capcom left it off right there at the early 2000's,
In my opinion Capcom should revamp Megaman Legends 1, then MAOTB and finally 2 for one of the portable Consoles such as PSP/DS/GBA and that could raise consciousness among new Legends Fans that these games exist for Ps1/ PC (?)
After that Capcom could assure that MML3 is a safebet, then it could be one of their greatest titles too.
But Capcom might just stick to their punch n' walk games or their other games such as Devil May Cry, and they probably will , as Green said, Capcom is a business and Infaune is a businessman.

Yeah, come to think of it, the Legends series was the ONLY series where every installment was radically different from the previous game in the series. Maybe it's because there were only three games, but hey, Mega Man Zero had four games that were very similar! Then again, thinking up original plot and gameplay concepts takes time, and time is money. Mega Man just exists so Capcom can make a quick buck off the fanboys.
And that, of course, is why we spent a good two weeks or so mass voting in that *totally rigged* poll. It may have gotten us nowhere as far as visible results, but we did give those admins a good, sound mass-vote-slinging run for their money. The fact that there are people in the world who care enough to vote upwards of 500 times in one sitting to get their game attention should show that there ARE people who are desperate enough to buy a new installment, even if it is only ten or twelve people from the same message board. We're like the annoying picketing hippies of the Mega Man fan community. Maybe if we can rally enough enthusiasm we can actually get somewhere, or at least get Capcom--as a company looking at profit opportunities--to notice that the MML fanbase is larger than they think (or at least outspoken enough to compensate for a lack in numbers.)

Since I'm tired, I'll just do a cuta-and-pasta of a reply of mine from another board...
I don't quite understand why this is bad news (the so-called "lack of funding"). I'm not even sure why we should even listen to Keiji Inafune. He says one thing and does another. Plus he doesn't fully control Megaman games anymore, anyways.
I can't believe that the Megaman franchise can't make the jump to a next-gen system. If Mario, Sonic, and other popular "children's" games reinvent themselves to suit the many previous gaming systems they've been on, why can't Megaman? I think we are forgetting that Megaman has been on nearly all videogame systems ever created since he premiered in 1987.
If Megaman can't be successful in his current state, then it is time to rethink his strategy. 2D games aren't dead. It's just that nobody has experimented with it enough. Crash Bandicoot and Paper Mario were a step in the right direction.
But I don't understand why Rockman Dash 3 wouldn't be at least a modest success. Hardly any of the kids who only played the Battle Network games wouldn't know of the sad lackluster past of those games. They'll just buy it because it's a Megaman game. Megaman Legends fans (like I) would buy it right at the second it came out.
If Capcom aren't confident with Megaman Legends, then they should change it to make it satisfactory to their so-called standards. (Even though they had no problem with the games before other than controls and probably being too short.)

Making MML conform to CAMPcom's current standards?
That'd be easy! Give MegaMan a huge scar up his left cheek and instead of destroying Reaverbots he can dismember drug dealers and hookers. Tron needs to become an E-cup and instead of Servbots, she'll have female android sex slaves that have breasts even bigger than hers!
I'm sold already!

Tron needs to become an E-cup and instead of Servbots, she'll have female android sex slaves that have breasts even bigger than hers! I'm sold already! You forgot Mega Man's bulging biceps and five-o'-clock shadow, Tron's skimpy black leather attire and stilettos, the arsenal of heavy-duty weapons, slew of foul language, and what have you. Teisel, meanwhile, would be a flesh-eating zombie overlord bent on vague, nondescript "total annihilation," the ruins would be the decrepit streets of a post-apocalyptic New York, and Wily would run a casino downtown (which doubles as a mafia base). But that's a tale for another thread. Since I'm tired, I'll just do a cuta-and-pasta of a reply of mine from another board...

If Capcom aren't confident with Megaman Legends, then they should change it to make it satisfactory to their so-called standards. (Even though they had no problem with the games before other than controls and probably being too short.) You've got a point. If Capcom's at the stage where the quality of its games comes second to keeping a name brand with a solid fanbase produced at as low a cost as possible, logistically speaking, Mega Man Legends 3 should've happened a long time ago--it would've sucked big time, mind you, but it would've happened. In fact, it almost did, when Inticreates offered to develop the game a few years back. What happened? Keiji refused the offer flat-out. Back then we figured it was because he didn't want to see Legends go the route of Battle Network, Zero, and the others. This interview proves that we were right. Unfortunately, since the gaming industry has become the unstoppable juggernaut that it is, it's highly, HIGHLY doubtful that unless he gets a boatload of money, Inafune isn't going to make the time to develop MML3. Due to the overwhelming evidence showing how the company (and by that, I mean Capcom) doesn't want to see the game get developed, as noted by the insane, unopposed Zero and X spikes in the 20th anniversary poll, I also doubt that they're willing to give him the time needed to produce it.

That's why I said that they'd have to do it in their spare time. All they need to do is have Frank West in the Mega Man armor attacking Reaverbots which look suspiciously like zombies. Then, call it "Dead Rising 2 Featuring Mega Man."

This interview proves that we were right. It seems that the Legends series is the only Megaman series so far that hasn't had a sequel that was/were identical to the first. Of course, there's still ZX and Star Force, but they're more likely to follow in the footsteps of X and Classic.

Maybe those spikes in the poll were Capcom's way of saying "Stay out of this! We don't want you interfering with our plans!" You know, it was a way to get back at us mass-voters for messing up their statistics.
It seems that Capcom is managing to make sequels of their beloved series even though these same series are already over. Star Force is just Battle Network in 3D, and ZX, fun though it may be, plays very similarly to the Zero series. If the Legends series never exceeds the 3-game production limit, at least it'll have the honour of being the only original and non-duplicated Megaman series yet.

Megaman X, Zero, Battlenetwork, and all of these are just repetitive, Imo from MML1 to MML2 we've seen a -HUGE- difference, from smoother game, well developed character faces, funny and interesting plot, amazing boss fights, challenging Ruins, Variety of weapons and equipment. If Capcom would take a good look from the gap they did from MML1 to 2, they'll realise that a third game could possibly be one of the best games of this generation as an Action, RPG game. (I wouldn't mind a sequel to MAOTB!! Just anything!! )

Hell, at this point I don't even need a sequel. I feel so dreprived I'll buy anything Bonne-related that I have the money for, even if it's in another language.
True, I do admit X, Zero, and BN are repetitive, but they never were known for their story. They were known (Especially X and Zero) for challenging bosses and gameplay. Zero got a bit of veriety with the Z-knuckle, although that was hardly any. X, I just remember a challenge that I could spend a week or two on the first run through. X8 was way too easy though.
BN did turn out more collecting than the gameplay. It's veriety came in 4, 5, and 6 with the introduction of souls, NOT play as Mega for half of the game, and then the crosses (Which are insanely fun to feel the power, mind you).
ZX followed the Zero path a little closer, but was a little more colorful with the different armors. We'll see how it turns out when Advent comes out.
But true, none-the-less, Legends is a more Story based game. Which, I guess, is the reason I'm so drawn to it. I've dragged (Sometimes forcefully) oh... 3, 4 people into my own fandom, and accidently drove one out because I was too into it XD
Legends does have some of the fewest members, but indeed do we make up for it in dedication >_>

Oi, such anger and hate going on in this thread.
Fact of the matter is, MML3 will be created. Either in the eyes of Capcom...or me. So...ya know, lets stop with all the hate. xD

So...ya know, lets stop with all the hate. xD Yeah, the hate kind of stopped. You've got nothing to worry about. Though I must say, I've yet to see any sort of progress on your project to date, and it's been what now, six months? At this point, I agree with Inafune in his *implied* statement that I'd rather have no Legends 3 at all than a Legends 3 that's on par with the crappy Mega Man games Capcom's been churning out lately. I mean, if you take hints from his words and actions over the past seven years, that's most likely the deal here. Wait, did I already say something like that?
