Fuck off, X is a shit series with only a few decent installments: X, X4 and X6/spoiler]

I heard that the cartoon is actually pretty nice, but I don't feel like watching it (or anything Inafune-related). Brown girl isn't brown anymore for some reason, probably Inafune's westaboo fetishes kicking in again.

Is it even out?

I still say that Aero was a fucking shit design for the world of Legends and the black girl with the biker jacket and filly dress drawn by an actual MML artist was the best. Native American-inspired girl was second best

Absolute agony.

I thought we figured out by now that it was Inafune's fault that got canceled to begin with after he used the rage people had towards Capcom to fund a shitty Megaman clone, then an anime for the shitty Megaman clone then a shitty Megaman Legends clone WHILE funding the shitty Megaman clone

Attached: 1457811119908.jpg (480x305, 46K)

I think you mean X, X2, and X6.

It may have been his fault that it was cancelled, but it's also Capcom's fault for not having made it since.

I will never forget Inafune using MML3 as a shield to try and keep his job.

ok but we're done with inafucker now. It's been 6 fucking years. The better part of a decade.
Why can't they just restart this? They had all the technical stuff down including a lot of assets and the engine.

Attached: MML6.jpg (1240x1615, 792K)

At least you can play that not-MML game that was basically anime Lost Planet.

To this day I still refuse to give crapcom even a single cent.
They will NEVER get money from me again unless MML3 gets made.

They still did have that post-Inafune slump period, user. Keep in mind after the blunder that was MVCI we got Megaman 11, DMCV, and RE2make.
There's a bit of hope left as Capcom's clearly in an upswing but we can't expect miracles in a day either.

People say the game was canned because Inafune left and didn't stay to actually wait until completion.

Honestly I feel like even if that was the cause Capcom could have used him as a scapegoat instead of blaming the fans for "Not helping out".
I honestly say they were out to blame fans the second they got us involved

I'm still surprised there's no leaks of the MML3 demo out there. There's clearly a playable version out there, someone must have their hands on it whether it's an old dev kit or sitting on a old capcom PC.

What are you talking about?

Thanks for the reminder on another game they didn't give us.

I'll have no hope, until they give me a release date and a demo for Legends 3 and an apology and even then I'll have my reservations.

Inafune was the only one who cared for MML, so when he left Capcom literally had no clue what to do with the series. No one else wanted it. So they cancelled it.

The reason Inafune-san was pushed out was because

>There's a bit of hope left as Capcom
They're just cashing in on their old cows because of new pachinko regulation. While they're still relevant.

This is all I want.
They can give us the game, and it could be a 10/10 but I want Capcom to verbally apologize to the fans for blaming us for the game not getting made.

same, hate seeing these threads

Before it was canned I remember Barret and Aero having models and voice work done (in japanese).
I recall being able to play or moderately pose a Barret model on the website

The Legends games are overrated an the anger over 3 is a meme. I guarantee that most people who bitched about the cancellation haven't finished 1+2.

its been 9 years get over it

the scenario, engine etc were done. i.e the "hard" parts.
There was no reason for this. This was at the very start of the 3DS' life too. It would have sold better than any other MM game at the very least.

>japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/07/31/business/already-suffering-slowdown-japans-pachinko-industry-now-braces-gambling-addiction-regulations/

Should have been seen as inevitable. These are super addicting, and Glorious Nippon looks down on addictions.

now when are they going to crack down on gacha? shit like fgo makes over a billion dollars by acting like a gambling machine.

friendly reminder that anyone saying "legends was overrated" or "get over it" is a paid crapcom shill.

Legends is my favorite franchise of all time. Checkmate, you knob-slobbering faggot.

Now honest question, with it being early into the 3DS' life, a long awaited sequel and fans "Helping out" do you think Legends 3 could have made more than 1&2 to no be considered a failure to Capcom? I've heard the reason they were so reluctant to do Legends 3 originally was because 1 and 2 sold poorly

This, until they make MML3 they'll never recover their godly status, it's not because of the game necessarily, but because of that shit post they made saying fans weren't supporting the game. That was the most horseshit i've ever seen someone write, the only thing they can do to apologise for that is releasing MML3. Until then, they at best can say that they are in a good place, but never that they are back.

is this a lot of money? These have to be basically pennies right?

People fall for slot machines every day.

The 3DS only has like one more year until it goes out of production though.
There's no way they'd start again from scratch. At least on the 3DS they have the engine and shit.
Yeah, and have you seen them? How smooth does your brain have to be to gamble with a fucking computer based slot/whatever machine where the house can adjust the odds?
I get shit like black jack or poker where there's randomness and a small amount of skill (esp poker) needed, but to think that the house would give you payouts that are anything but small little dopamine hits is just retarded.

I guess you fucks should have showed your support that you guys actually wanted the game.
Instead you were all jacking off to anime girls, so Capcom cancelled it.

I actually played Legends 1 and 2 back to back for the first time last week.

Controls took a bit to get used to but were nowhere near as bad as they're often called.

Loved both these games, best gaming experience I've had in the last few years honestly.

It was Legends 2's under-performing that sank the franchise. Which was launched the same week as the PS2. Granted there was backlash before that but they had to know that was coming. Legends 1 verifiable outsold every other Mega Man game on the PS1 except X4. Though the technology for a 3D games probably lead to a longer development so that wouldn't be as profitable.

But anyway to your point: I really don't think Capcom would care about recooping losses from 10-20 years ago. I'd imagine if they thought they could get profits from investments: they would. Which just makes the whole scenario seem wrong to me. Capcom had basically given up a captive market on the 3DS's eShop. There was going to be a period nothing new was on it except MML3's Prototype. A game, paradoxically, pushing that the 3DS was a robust platform capable of open area 3rd person shooters. If nothing else that was almost certainly going to be a top seller for the system, especially at a steep discount from even old sidescrolling Mega Man games coming in at all of 200 yen or two goddamn dollars?

That thing was set up with such a gentle and easy softball for success and Capcom just walked away from the plate.

Most MM games are on underpowered handhelds. They don't have or need multi-million dollar budgets.

Maybe. But I like space. And I'm kinda upset how often it comes up that it's never been explored. Hell it it wasn't text in one line of Star Force no Mega Man would actually have gone further from Earth than OG Mega Man.

Which is exactly why we've been in hiatus since ZX Advent, people don't want to buy 20 cheap games made in under a year that play exactly as the ones from the early 90s. Capcom's been known to rush development cycles for MM games so they've had litte to no time to evolve the gameplay causing the franchise to get saturated until they stopped selling it, brand recogntion can only get you so far when 2 out of 7 series had endings.

Bringing back Street Fighter didn't bring back any of their other fighting game IPs (aside from Marvel, which is both a license and a crossover, rather than a standalone IP). So bringing back classic won't necessarily bring back all the other Mega Man sub-series, either.

Stop using this excuse.
The series was also dead until they made 9 and 10, then once they got their nostalgia shekels they let it rot again for another decade.

Different user here but explain how this concept has meaning if you would. As I see it any Mega Man game released could've been "the one that brought Mega Man back". I think you're suggesting Classic Mega Man has more star power than its successors but not only do I not believe that's true: I don't see how that's viable when the only suggestion is that it's "building up hype" for things yet to exist and well back from any impact its release will have.

If you're suggesting Capcom actually had to exercise a team's capacity for making a Mega Man type game: it'd actually be the worst of the lot. Since every other platformer in the roster is based off X, not Classic conventions.

Attached: Megaman Annual 25.jpg (500x695, 133K)

First two are just okay but the third one is God tier and stands shoulder to shoulder with BN2, BN3 and BN6.

Didn't X have it's reputation completely wrecked by X6 and X7? Classic at least has an untarnished reputation.

>muh Legends 3
No one cares. Inafune certainly didn't, he just used Legendsfag for his MN9 scam.
This. I can't wait for a new X game. Hopefully without Axl.

Not when Zero and ZX exist, both of them never sold as good as MMX by the way.

Sorry the platformers just aren't that remarkable.

Classic Megaman has the broadest appeal. He's still prime nostalgia fodder as one of the biggest NES icons. He got into Smash for fuck's sake.

>Since every other platformer in the roster is based off X
The other platformers in the series are extremely dead, barring X. Zero is concluded, and ZX did not have a following even if it is the most open-ended. And you better believe Classic has more star power than a ZX 2 game series that couldn't bring the Zero fanbase with it.

>Classic at least has an untarnished reputation.
Where exactly in the fanbase where you in the up to 2008? MM7 and MM8 are so much less than respected than their forebears the entire marketing strategy to 9 and 10 was to look like the other games.

We know starforce and zx games sold like warm piss.
Aside from phone trash and rereleases, what was the latest game before mm9 released and got more than ten sales.

>merely pretending

Basically has to do with production studios and the aftermath of that awful bionic commando reboot.

This doesn't make any sense. Inafune was the one pushing for Legends 3 to happen. If anything he should resent X for continuing past the Zero games and fucking up the lore.

mega man 9 didn't bring them back. mega man 10 didn't bring them back. what makes you think mega man 11 will?
face it, crapcom has turned mega man into a soulless husk of a franchise, built entirely around selling indie-tier "classic" games to nu-males every few years and marketing them with nostalgia. the spinoffs - the only worthwhile part of the franchise - are probably never coming back.

If anything, Inafune hated the X series. At the very least he never liked as X as a character.

As someone who can’t stand 7/8, those games at least had a mixed reception and there are a decent number of people who like them.

Legends games were TRASH

>mega man 9 didn't bring them back. mega man 10 didn't bring them back
Except 3 fucking Megaman games, including Legends 3, were planned during that time period before Inafune bailed Capcom, you absolute fucking retard. And they were canned because of him jumping ship. Not because "they didn't generate interest."

its playing battle network on 1 row. it sucks and the later games try to fix it but all they really do is make it less noticeable and ignore the actual problem. they gave themselves a bullshit restriction and the game suffers immensely for it

>Not the extent that X6 and especially X7 were.
To make the argument X7 is more disliked than 7 you have to acknowledge an 8 years gap between the releases. No one is going to be that vehement for that long. And anyway the entire jeer, and value of 'nostalgia' is ignoring the bad parts of a thing you enjoyed in the past. Which would have been applicable regardless of the series that got rez'd .

"planned" =/= "released." they've had plenty of time between inafune leaving and now to at least make legends 3. instead, they shat out mm11 to collect some more easy nostalgia bucks from the nu-males.

Do you know how long ago those came out?
Zero 4 and BN6 are both 2005 games.
And legends 2 came out at the same time as the ps2.

What's your point here? That Inafune is needed to make multiple Mega Man games? Because if MM9 and 10 made a resurgence necessary why would an executive leaving matter?

Legends 3 won't happen without someone behind the scenes really pushing for it. And that's what Inafune was. A 3D adventure game is just way more time consuming to make.

>Because if MM9 and 10 made a resurgence necessary why would an executive leaving matter?
An executive who pushed for Legends 3 to be made, because it was his pet project. Plus Japanese businessmen are extremely petty. So they canceled everything Megaman to spite him.

why would anyone at crapcom bother pushing for actually good mega man games to be made? they know you drones will buy and defend their half-assed "classic" games as long as they keep dangling the carrot of more spinoffs just around the corner.

Okay then who's the executive or higher-up this time around that's pulling for a series revival? Because both of these statements cannot logically follow unless Inafune's been re-hired.

I play Megaman games to play Megaman games. Not as a means to a future end, even if the hope is there. If you can't even enjoy a Megaman classic game, go fuck yourself.

I didn't say Legends 3 was going to get made. In fact, I don't believe it will. But X has a shot. Maybe ZX, but that's a longer shot.

I'm about to make like 15 twitter accounts and just annoy the shit out of capcom twitter about legends 3

i'd love to enjoy the classic games, but they're all so bland compared to the spinoffs. powered up is the only one i like.

Have fun.

Reminder to all anons: Legends 3 was never really a project that the higher ups at Capcom ever even greenlit. Inafune constantly did this thing where he'd put together a hidden team, work on a project until it's far enough in completion, and then show it off without permission. He's done this several times before, with Dead Rising 1 being the most notable. Legends 3 was a similar deal. The reason it was cancelled wasn't necessarily just to spite him, but moreso because it wasn't even supposed to exist in the first place. If DR1 failed back in 2006, he'd probably have been fired from Capcom long ago.

Maybe if all 15 Legendsbabies actually bought Legends 2 when it came out, we'd have 3 by now

too bad. the moment crapcom blamed the fans is the moment it stopped being about inafune and started being about them. they will still never be back until they make mml3.

If I wanted a project to get made that I was sure was going to get axed, I'd pull similar shenanigans. Capcom isn't in the right to just shut it down. Maybe they SHOULD support some dark horse projects. Like Darkstalkers. Or MAYBE they could release a paid demo and gauge interest since it was READY TO FUCKING GO.

Sorry, but if you're trying to paint Capcom as good guys, it ain't working.

>MMZ
>fast
>most fluent
>this is what MMZbabies actually believe
Imagine actually believing in this turd of an opinion. MMZ is a garbage platform, full of shitty and soulless character AND level designs that don't belong in the slick and dynamic world of the Megaman games. The main character doesn't even look like a good redesign for Zero and let alone like a Reploid protagonist for a Megaman game, Zero was horrifyingly turned into some weird fetishistic pedobait and paired together with other equally obnoxious designs like Ciel that not only directly ripoff past MM games characters without adding anything into the table but are absolutely jarring design decisions that don't complement past games and actively detract against the player's immersion by sheer virtue of not having the slightest tact with its utterly disgusting looks. It is so demented and in-your-face that it is hard to understand how that garbage could pass any evaluation by a creative committee.
MMZ's looks can be described with just one line: Vomit translated to an artstyle.

And the level designs? The boss fights? Boring as shit, I'm sorry. Playing safe all the time with the same repetitive ad nauseam level designs, full of stupid and generic traps that are more predictable than trying to guess the final boss of a Classic MM game. Doing a good level design is an art in itself, something MMZ lacked. Each boss and level is a snorefest, a complete creatively bankrupt process that gives you nothing but a hollow feeling of defeat and waste of time even after completing it because there is nothing going on for the level designs and neither for the bosses.
MMZfags that hail this absolute dogshit as the supreme masterpiece of the Megaman franchise and keep dissing Classic/X for the sake of this thing can go fuck themselves. MMZ is garbage and a sad little vocal minority of retards won't change this fact.

I'm going to say this plainly: every fan who wants to proclaim persecution on the franchise is a retard.

The only game that was canned because Inafune left was Universe. A game no one at Capcom but Inafune believed in. I cannot stress enough: this is an actually true statement, and not hyperbole. The game was entirely his conception, he had announced the moment a concept pitch trailer was together, and tried to publicly promote it himself internationally - something that he never did before -. He has stated he was aware it was being shut down in the month interim period before his resignation kicked in. There's no argument about that, but there's no redeeming part of the development that seems like a loss to me. Before getting to the obvious huge problem for the Japanese fanblock with it.

Contrary to Legends fans' belief the game was not solely being pushed by Inafune. Plenty of the staffers who have developer credits wanted to get it off the ground too. The team managed itself and Capcom's corporate relations team organized cross promotion deals with Nintendo to release the game. They weren't just acting like they needed to dance along to the tune because they were on the public stage. If Capcom 'was always going to cancel it' and wanted to blame Inafune they had every opportunity to do that; they didn't. They had two opportunities to say "actually no we can't do it" when the Tsunami shut the company down and when they announced they were going for a greenlight meeting still came back and said "we're doing it" daily for about 6 months. I can't tell you what the "because reasons" the game was canned for, but it wasn't spite.

Mega Man Online didn't get past beta because the company developing it declared partial bankruptcy. It went on in development for 2 years after this whole mess and the only involvement Capcom had in this decision was not agreeing to buy a portion of the company to directly fund the development.

Sometimes shit just happens.

>1 Britbong PR rep = all of Capcom
I never meant to excuse Capcom for the canceling of L3, I'm pissed as hell. I even bought a 3DS for it. But I think it's also important to understand why it got cancelled and who also should be to blame. MN9 wasn't the moment Inafking lost his touch, he lost it around 2008 when he thought whoring out to Western game developer rookies was a good idea. Also, the paid demo wasn't necessarily the absolute greatest idea ever, especially for a niche franchise with an even more niche sub-series.

And you believe just because they don't SAY it that couldn't possibly be the underlying reason? Fuck you, blaming Inafune is petty and would, understandably I might add, PISS OFF FANS. They don't want to hear they canned a game because Inafune bailed. What a shitty, petty fucking reason. So of course they didn't SAY that.

It absolutely IS his fault. But not exclusively. Capcom are not saints just because MN9 was bad. I'm sorry, but you think too black-and-white.

Inafune was the only person pushing for Legends 3 so when he left it was a project with literally no lead or passion behind it. People should be mad about Megaman Universe because that game was 100% finished

Not him, but I don't remember you Legendsfags showing this level of reasoning when it all started. Most of you were blaming Capcom entirely for this while being played like a fiddle by Inafune. Excuse me for not taking your words seriously.

>elf wars game
There's literally no way this would live up to anyone's imagination, just like how it's fine that there's no Castlevania 1999 game. Sometimes events in a story are designed to be purposely mysterious to allow the reader to draw their own conclusions, and it's better off that way.

That's bullshit, user. Lots of legendsfags blamed Inafune for jumping ship. I personally gave him some benefit of the doubt, because let's face it... Capcom had EVERY chance to run with Legends 3, (including the FINISHED DEMO) and didn't. So of course they took the brunt of the blame.

This. Nobody wants to see Sigma get destroyed by a super cyber fairy.

I lost interest when the worst character design of the lot won the heroine poll so at least I wasn't hurt as bad.

They actually specifically said it had nothing to do with Inafune. I know you don't believe them, probably more because of that. But I think they said it because it's an obvious, if a little stupid conspiracy theory. Which I think people could recognize if they weren't insistent on being a victim.
>Capcom hated Inafune and his ideas and programs so when he quit they continued to develop the game, and have daily press releases for 7/8 months on account of water. Then they announced an entirely unannounced release for the development. Have that with a tangible release date one month from the announcement. Which damages their cross-corporate reputation as a ruse to hide the fact they were really paying an entire team to do nothing but pretend like they were going to make a game they decided they didn't want to make in order to look like they were not being spiteful in order to be spiteful.

There is a reasonable throughline you could make to connect Inafune departure to the game's failure. Which has already been done in this thread: that a powerful executive wasn't there to bolster the project. But not being around to pull strings in its favor isn't part of the cyclical self-justifying logic needed to continue to be a victim.

I should have stopped reading here because it didn't get any less retarded.

Still cant get over the fact that it looks like they used Quiet's face for The Boss.

>They actually specifically said it had nothing to do with Inafune.
Because, again, blaming someone who isn't even with the company anymore is not what fans want to hear. Your logic keeps going back to "BUT DADDY CAPCOM SAYS..."
It doesn't MATTER what they say, their public reasoning is going to be the most defensable option they have, regardless of if it's true.

>There is a reasonable throughline you could make to connect Inafune departure to the game's failure. Which has already been done in this thread: that a powerful executive wasn't there to bolster the project.
You are saying the exact same thing in different terms. They were handed, gift wrapped, a project they could have ran with and seen to completion. OR they could scrap it and throw away the man hours, and piss off the fans of this very publicly visible project. They said "Fuck the fans."

And now here we are, with you running interference for them because "Inafune the only bad guy! Don't you see? MN9 BAD!" Get the fuck out of here.

While I get the notion: Castlevania 1999 could work because the game would just be crowded with dozens of people.

An Elf Wars game, in order to represent the war itself: would have more concurrent active enemies than have been rendered in all permutations of all Mega Man games throughout all series. This would need to be not an RTS, or Mousao, but a frigging Katamari Damacy clone to properly convey the scope of the conflict. It's just nuts to think that would be accomplished.

2 was the only bad selling one because it got released right when the PS2 was coming out and everyone was dumping their PS1 collections and systems. 1 did well enough to warrant Tron Bonne and 2 with Volutt and the rest of the cast weaving in and out of crossover games

Volnutt should be in the trash can instead

I always thought Capcom also did it because back then they were trying to get into Sony's good graces and and trying to cut support for the 3DS until MonHun sold a ton on it. The 3DS had a pretty rocky start.

No, you should.

Mega Man X5 and X6, Dino Crisis 2, and Breath of Fire 4 all came out after MML2 but still sold better. There's actually no excuse for Legends 2 flopping so hard

If Legends 2 sunk the ship, why did they even bother making those mobile games?

Wasn't this during the time when Capcom wanted their games to be selling millions?

Did they ever get Misadventures of Tron Bonne working on emulators? Every version I tried soft locked at random cutscenes.

I was able to play it to completion. But yeah, it did soft lock pretty randomly.

Because Capcom's mobile division makes a huge amount of games and they're as long as dragster.
>Mobile games
One of those is literally an animated alarm clock and another a reskinned version of an earlier one.

Already did. Capcom's back baby.

fuck im still mad we didn't get those psp remakes.

This. The only hope for an MML3 would be that it finally makes the series good. Wouldn't even be too hard. Just make the world less empty and boring.

Which Megaman series has the worst fanbase?

So you're telling me people can leak decades old prototypes of games that never got released or even announced, but no one has managed to leak the fucking mml3 that was supposedly "95% complete"? I don't buy it for a second.

>Sonic the movie
I'd say legends, in truth. everyone else is annoying but legends faggots bring it up EVERYWHERE.

Legends. Endless crying. ENDLESS.

It isn't like the Sonic fanbase with a lot of infighting. There's a lot more crossover of fans. Probably because offshoots like Battle Network don't compete directly with platformers, and all the platformers build off the one that came before it, leading to a pretty unified experience.

If you were teased with the resurrection of your franchise after a 10 or so year absence, and have it snatched away, you'd also bring it up a lot.

The non fans like

Man even before the sequel was teased and cancelled all Legendsfags would do is scream about 3. Nothing has changed other than they got saltier.

Legendsbabies have been screeching for nearly a decade about the death of a series they didn't even support when it was alive.

Horseshit. Before 3 was announced, it was talked about like any other series with a cliffhanger . But not nearly to the degree after it was advertised and taken away. Fuck your history retconning just so you sound a bit more reasonable.

You must be new around here, because I remember literally every megaman thread before 2010 being nothing but "MUH MOON MUH MEGAMAN WAHHHHH SEQUEL WHEN?!?!?!?!!?!?" and it made talking about any of the other games impossible. mm9/10 threads were shite because of it.

No, it really wasn't.

It breaks my heart you're proving my point that this fanbase can't move past a victim complex: you haven't even tried to incorporate the glaring flaw I've pointed out in the zeitgeist's reasoning into your response. Capcom's continuous and publicly verifiable actions, not statements, make the narrative that they had it out for the game to spite Inafune impossible. Which is what all of your post comes back to.

When they had actually hired people after Inafune left specifically to help promote the project. Continued to publicly work on the game, and gave the team more development time when they pitched a release, green lit it, and got an exclusive release deal at a fixed date in a small window. That's well more done for the game than from two weeks of off duty organization you describe as 'gift wrapped' . You can complain that it didn't finally take off in the end but that's not a justification of the assumption. And there's a world of difference in why that happened in your scenario of events. Even when in a theoretical one Inafune could've saved the project, yours assumes Capcom has seething hate for Inafune motivating their actions, rather than the fate of the game development being decided by accountent calculated deadlines, budgets, or functionality concerns.

I don't hate it but all they're did was release another classes style came, which is all they've been doing since 9.

Oh, it's verifiable is it? You haven't posted any proof to this end. So where is it? The proof that isn't hearsay?

This is the gif that pretty much in isolation convinced me to pick up the Battle Network games.

>The paid demo, WAS DONE
It was never once claimed complete by the production team. Not just at the time but in the years since. People assumed it was because of the release timeline and that review copies were sent out. Which doesn't actually say anything of the state of the game development other than it can be played. It doesn't indicate the build met project goals, or QA standards, or if it worked without also including system devtools. There are hundreds of reasons the may project hit a roadblock that don't factor in personal vendettas whatsoever.

The Devblog was ongoing for months with weekdaily updates. Which again included the current event of the tsunami. They hired an entirely new community manager just to fast translate the updates. The announcements for the releases on the 3DS eShop didn't happen while Inafune was there, promotion sessions of the Prototype didn't happen while Inafune was there. These are demonstrable promotional efforts. The events and staff's time would require Capcom had to pay for in order for them to have happened. There is no motive for Capcom to throw money at this if they wanted to just scuttle the game because it was associated with Inafune.
