Mega Man Legends 3 Fans Storm Facebook to Reignite Capcom's Fire

Mega Man Legends 3 as we all know by now has been cancelled, but fans aren't going to back off that easily. Over a short period of 24 hours, 12,000+ Mega Man fans have stormed Facebook in an effort to get Mega Man Legends 3 back on track. A group called 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3 has opened to showcase the fans' desire for the recent entry in the Legends series. Their goal is still off in the distance, but if you head over and hit the like button it could be realized soon.

Capcom has brought on a very unwanted and unnecessary PR mess by blaming the fans for its decision to discontinue the project. Now that fans are beginning to band together, Capcom may be forced to reassess the current situation. If it's the fans support they want, then that is what they'll get.

Mega Man Legends 3 Officially Cancelled

It looks like Capcom has finally decided to pull the plug on Mega Man Legends 3. For a number of months, fans have been collaborating with Capcom through a specialized Dev Room, created to showcase the members opinions and ideas for the game. Capcom has also voiced a lot of doubt in the project and have cancelled and green lit the project on a different occasion.

However, now it seems that Capcom is ready to move away from the project. Below you can find the statement made by Capcom just minutes ago:

We'd like to thank you for your ongoing loyal support of Mega Man Legends 3. Today, however, we must regrettably announce the discontinuation of this project.

From the outset the MML3 Project was intended to give gamers across the world insight and input into the development process. Part of this process includes an assessment of whether the title will go into full production, and is based on a number of criteria with input from different sectors of the company.


Unfortunately it was not felt that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project met the required criteria, and it is with regret that we must announce that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project has been cancelled, meaning that Capcom will not be releasing the Prototype or the full game. Additionally, updates of the Mega Man Legends Developer Room will cease as of today, though the North American Developer Room and its forums will remain open indefinitely.

We can only express our deepest apologies to all of you who have lent us your unending support, including participation in the Mega Man Legends 3 Developer Room. On behalf of the entire Legends team, please accept our sincere apology for failing to meet the expectations of the fans.

We thank you all so much for your extended support of this title and this community, and we hope that you will continue to support the Mega Man franchise as well as other Capcom games.
