Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man, left Capcom late last year to pursue other projects outside of the company. According to an interview with 4gamer.net, Inafune tried to work with Capcom in order to continue the projects he had already started after his planned departure, but Capcom refused his offer. It was because of Capcom's reluctance to continue working with Inafune that we lost projects like Mega Man Legends 3.

 

Inafune was quoted saying, "I wanted to leave Capcom to recharge my energy, and support Capcom from there, but it seems they don’t allow it. I want to make all my effort to keep Legends 3 alive, but I’m really not sure I can do it." Inafune wanted to continue working on Capcom projects, but from a distance and on his own terms with his new company Comcept, but Capcom said no.

 

I'm still pretty disappointed that Mega Man Legends 3 won't be seeing the light of day, but it sounds like Inafune is still up for working on the project even if Capcom doesn't seem particularly interested in the idea.

 

I know this might be a little old but I haven't seen it around here so I'm posting it since if it's news to me it's possibly news to someone else.

Yeah, read about this already.

 

Never was into Megaman though, so it does not really affect me.

You just known this NOW!?

[Discordian 6,015]

I was aware that MML3 was cancelled. It's hard NOT to know that. What I DIDN'T know was that Inafune offered to finish it but was refused by Capcom.

I was really disappointed that they canceled Legends 3, I played the first two games a lot when I was younger and I was really looking forward to the game. I was probably going to buy a 3DS just for that game.

Capcom's been screwing up A LOT lately.

[Crazy Misty 653]

I've never played a megaman game but Im still pretty mad at capcom.

[Ron Jeremy 2,032]

I love Capcom's logic.

 

Cancel the thing people are looking forward to, to shove out more DLC, and games that are the same thing as the previous but with an extra costume or two. Really, Capcom, you used to kick ass in the past, but now you just suck. Perfect example of what happens when the business suits make the decisions.

 

Also old news.

[Killian Jones 2,655]

Didn't they blame the fans first?

 

I wasn't interested in this game though, so this news doesn't phase me.

[Discordian 6,015]

They tried to say there wasn't enough fans to have the game completed.

 

Apparently they said this on a forum made specifically for MML3 that had thousands of users, obviously all fans, so that was a bullshit statement if we ever saw it.

 

What their real reason is, no one knows.

meanwhile capcom makes ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 but no megaman or x this is just sad there killing there mascot.

[Cynic 336]

Meh, who needs MML3 when we can buy Street Fighter 4 rereleased for the 20th time?

 

Pathetic.

This game has really gotten old, I don't see the point in complaining about it's cancellation anymore. It's sadly gone.

I think Game Informer said it best when they said, 'You know a company's fallen pretty far when they have to put the blame on their customers just because they don't want to work on a project.'.
