Who was REALLY the fault here?

that's probably what hes doing with his company, but he's been helping out with the Gunvolt series too apparently

Me, I'm responsible. I came from a timeline where Mega Man Legends was often considered the best game of all time, but I preferred Ocarina of Time so I repeatedly manipulated this timeline until Ocarina of Time was a masterpeice beloved by all and Mega Man Legends was a failure and Mega Man Legends 3 never gets made.

Capcom

And how did you do it? Mister Time Traveler?

Capcom
I'm never sure what to think of Inafune
Pre MN9 I always got the impression in interviews that he felt awkward being fully acknowledged as the "father of Megaman", it seemed like he was another dev turned manager/corporate leader that just lost his chops and got tired of bureaucracy
Not defending his choices or his shit tier nonsense that went down with MN9 but I always wonder if it there was more to the story

Capcom.

It was also recently revealed by Inticreates that Megaman ZX3 was internally cancelled around the same time.

I have dream transmission device, you'd be surprised how much you can influence people and events just by sending them recurring dreams.

Inafune. Capcom never had faith in Legends 3, so Inafune and his clout were the only things propping it up. When he left the company, the game had no more champions. It was doomed from the moment he turned in his resignation.

You have to understand that Legends, Legends 2 and Misadventures of Tron Bonne all sold like ass. It's only natural that no one at Capcom would believe in it.

Everyone, Capcom for using a not proven yet Kickstarter like development process and the fans for not giving a shit.

He did know exactly what would happen. Supposedly he tried to stick it out and then ask to basically stay on as a consultant until this and Universe finished, Capcom told him lolno

what is the closest game(s) to MML 1/2?

This but unironically
nobody bought MML2 and the series fucking died because of it

All I want Inti Creates to do is resurrect somewhat fondly remembered old titles by creating new titles that somehow mash together the original Japanese game and its kooky US counterpart Or just get their version of Blasting Again greenlit

I bought MML2

That was Inafune's idea. My guess is that it went something like this.

>Inafune: "Guys, let me make Legends 3."
>Capcom: "Every other Legends title sold like shit, why the hell should we fund another one?"
>Inafune: "Come on guys, give it a chance."
>Capcom: "We gave you three chances already."
>Inafune: "Tell you what, let's crowdfund it. Then there's less risk for you guys."
>Capcom: "This sounds like a stupid idea but fine. However, it's all your responsibility, got it? This game lives and dies with you, understand?"
>Inafune: "Actually I quit."
>Capcom: "You what?"
>Inafune: "But I can totally still help finish the game as a creative consultant!"
>Capcom: "Get the hell out of my office."

I blame capcom for pumping out nonstop megaman until everyone got tired of it for a while and then promptly killed him off during that period of vulnerability. As much as I love battle network, I think that was the start of it all as they fucking hammered it to death with a slew of entries and versions in a very short time period. It's like they expected everyone to keep buying the same game in droves over and over again and then star force being meh in comparison was one of the final straws.

>As much as I love battle network, I think that was the start of it all as they fucking hammered it to death with a slew of entries and versions in a very short time period. It's like they expected everyone to keep buying the same game in droves over and over again
You're correct but I also miss that period of gaming, these days it takes years between entries of a series - and they're still the same game over and over anyway.

Inafune is a fraud

Capcom, Conman, that one twotter account
pretty much everyone

everyone knew that already and that was because of the low sales ZXA had

Of fucking course it was canceled. Those games sucked.

I also don't think they have any clue how to modernize classic megaman other than something like legends and they seem to hate legends for whatever reason. Unfortunately 2D games aren't seen as big must have releases anymore and are relegated to obscurity.

It was no zero, but I liked it well enough. Again though, suffered from the oversaturation problem. Too many megaman games and their newer entries weren't as good as the gba ones.

They hate Legends because it has historically sold like shit.

I'd need to see the sales numbers. All I know is there was a huge community push for 3 and if they had gone through with it while the 3ds was struggling with nogaems they could've had a big hit on their hands as the only must have 3ds title at the time.

I hate this bugnigger more than you can imagine.

Literally a snake oil salesman.

Inafune is 100% the reason to blame.

I've reason to believe that there was plenty of fan support, but Capcom was too afraid to do a Megaman game without Inafune after he left. Not wanting to admit it, they blamed it on a "lack" of fan support.

>there was a huge community push for 3
user there is no need to lie
most legends "fans" are the same as DS ones, they have never played the games

ZX's concepts were at odds with itself. What the fuck kind of game gives you multiple routes to choose from, only to make several of them dead ends because they don't want you to be there yet? Also the forms suck. ZXA in particular is oversaturated with trash forms. These games didn't know what they wanted to be. They were clunky, obtuse messes.

You wanna know why ZX3 was canceled? Poor sales. These are the sales numbers for the games in Japan:
>MMZ1: 200k units
>MMZ2: 160k units
>MMZ3: 120k units
>MMZ4: 75k units
>MMZX: 95k units
>MMZXA: 64k units

It took them over an entire year for their dorky little facebook petition to reach 100,000.

>What the fuck kind of game gives you multiple routes to choose from, only to make several of them dead ends because they don't want you to be there yet?
Dark Souls.

That's not bad for just japan especially with how apparently easy those games were to pump out

Crazy how all the people crying about the state of mega man are secondaries that only like spin offs and shill inti. Crazy how Mega Man 9, 10, 11 and Legacy 1, 2, and X sold ten times more than any spin off unless you count BN. (which they still out sold anyways) It's almost like things are fine and this is just morons with an agenda. I see people hop in here and start shilling Gunvolt and shit like that isn't pure garbage and made by the people that fucked up mega man in the first place. Thank god Capcom doesn't listen to these people and thank god mega man isn't still stuck in the gutter like sonic because of it.

From what I recall, Mega Man Legends games generally had fairly modest sales. In Japan, Misadventures sold less than 70k units, while Legends 2 90k0 units the years they were released. The PSP port of Legends 2 sold less than 20k units.

Western sales are unknown, however Legends 1 received the Greatest Hits brand meaning it must have at least hit 150k, which was the minimum number of sales necessary to qualify at the time.. Legends 2 and Misadventures never received it, so they sold less than 150k.

>(which they still out sold anyways)
Isn't Battle Network 4 the 2nd best selling Megaman title (which is what probably killed that series)

Third now, outsold by MM11. (and 9 and 10 if you count legacy 2 sales)

Megaman 11 was 4 years ago and the only thing keeping megaman even remotely relevant today is a mobile gacha game.

is just the same people that parrot the same "huh?! Company canceled a game we never knew about?! FUUUUUUU" or keep complaining about that korean mmo when the reason it was cancelled has been public ages ago

Was this guy ever fired for this gaff?

>I WANT THE FRANCHISE TO BE KILLED BY YEARLY RELEASES AGAIN!!!!
not this crap again

Inafune left and MML 3 was his pet project, it's been pretty obvious

I hope not. I was one of the ones petitioning for Legends 3, but corporations need that kind of honesty and transparency and consumers should grow thicker skins. I don't need to be coddled with some made up feel good bullshit, tell me how it is.

I doubt the mobile game has anything to do with his spike in popularity.
>even remotely relevant today
What does this even mean? The last actual decent Mario game was released in 2017, are you crying because there's no Mega Man + Rabbids game? Maybe what the series is now is enough. I can guarantee you that the people complaining haven't played all the games, go actually play them and stop pretending to be offended about things that have nothing to do with you.

why would they?

Calm down strawmanning fag. Everyone knows megaman isn't in a good place right now and capcom has no clue what to do with him, pretending otherwise is dumb.

Even were it the actual reasoning, he'd be crucified just for the bad PR. 7 full years of being called Crapcom who let multiple franchises die in order to milk Street Fighter some more.

I find it funny how after all these years and the million spin-offs that Classic remains the most popular

The timeline should have ended with Zero 4, this game was a great finale. The fact that the final battle is Zero, a robot fighting against a evil scientist in a mecha suit is really nostalgic to me, reminding me of megaman vs dr wily shit. It feels like a grand finale to the story of mega man like FFPS/Fnaf 6 did.
ZX is just throws everything out of window just to milk the shit out of mega man zero but failed miserably. ZX is a excuse to keep use the already diseased cattle.

Classic is so fundamentally well designed that it is hard to go wrong.

>Everyone knows megaman isn't in a good place right now
>Everyone
you and your 3 tard friend aren't everyone, you are just idiots that want yearly releases again despite them almost killing the franchise in the first place
>capcom has no clue what to do with him
they have already done enough, from plataforming to rpgs, from action like Zero to BN and SF and Legends even racing and fucking soccer
honestly what else is there for him to do? what is a "good place" for you tards?

Everyone nowadays just wants X9 to my knowledge. Whatever is because of gacha or not.

>X9
Would flop hard unless they do some 16 bit nostalgia run

Conman.

Healthy consistent releases. A series that actually modernizes him alongside classic. Stop living in the past. Just because they made an assload of games back then doesn't mean they can't make at least one new game that isn't a spinoff or mobile-tier every 2 years or so.

Where did you get that idea from?
Conman has never had any involvement with Gunvolt.

X8 was actually awesome but I doubt as many people as you think want X9. Stuff like Dive is unironically kept alive by like 50 whales tops.

He and the other faggots around here don't know what the fuck they want. Almost like Sonicfags.

Games would be nice.

>Conman has never had any involvement with Gunvolt.
nta but jesus christ inti shills are drones

MML sucks.

>unless they do some 16 bit nostalgia run
So is Mega Man 9 and see how it turned out.

YOU suck.

good

Do you want them to bring back combos and the tag mechanic?

I do.
