Mega Man games suck. Maybe worse than Sonic games
On the whole. There's some really good ones in either series though!
http://www.siliconera.com/2011/07/22...man-legends-3/ This is interesting! I wonder how many people in the industry are disappointed over this. I wonder if they could make a difference!
No one in the industry cares and they won't make a difference. Stop freaking out. The game is dead.
no yore pocchari
dave is ok is right.
Dave is ok is a dumbass. Stop fucking up my thread.
The truth hurts.
I already said i don't give a shit if it's not going to work. If you're not posting about this, get out of the thread.
I'm sad it was cancelled though not especially surprised. :(
Fight the good fight finch!
It's not over until Capcom says, "STOP IT" or until, like a few months from now when this whole thing simmers down.
Mega Man Legends was fun. Never played the second one. I would've liked to see a third, but what can you do.
The last time I played a Mega Man game was Mega Man Anniversary Collection, so yeah, this franchise has sucked pretty hard for a while now.
Capcom did say stop it. A few days ago. Please rejoin us in reality. It's not a great place but it'll do.
That's middle-manager talk.
Some guy at Capcom-Unity said, "It's over", some guy at Capcom Europe said, "BE LOUDER, LOL!", CAPCOM JP NEVER SAID ANYTHING. Inafune said, "Sorry it's over guys, work harder now", WHICH IF YOU READ INTO IT mean, "GUYS, MAKE THIS ANYWAY, DO IT. DO IT." Remember Mega Man 2? It's all up to Sachi-taki now.
If those dudes make the Tail Concerto sequel and THEN MML3, they will be my favorite people of all time who are not Treasure.
The starforce games are pretty tough too, even if they aren't as good as battle network.
Someone noticed!
Program Director
offers feeling of support
positive outlook
Granted, not the people that actually need to notice, but that ivory tower has given a couple nods to the fact that people are upset.
So the new baseless rumor on internet is to go to The Dev Room, sign yourself in, get yourself a Servbot number, and politely vent your spleen on the forum. and sign an internet petition
Actually doing that reveals what a mess the Capcom-Unity site is. Hint: There was obviously no browser testing done. If it doesn't work, try a different browser.
So let's get Shenmue 3 The official US release of Mother 3 Wonder Project J3 Mega Man Legends 3 back on track!
I busted out my old copy of the first Legends.
Holy fuck what a hideous cover. I hope whoever thought that was a good idea was taken outside and shot.
There were a lot of bad decisions that had to do with cover art around that time. I think the idea was Americans like things that look awful.
Granted, the original cover wasn't anything to write home about (the upper left one), but at least it didn't induce vomiting.

"By trying to have the customer begin retching upon first sight of the game's box, they will subconsciously retain a deeper memory of our product and thus be more likely to purchase it. There's also a chance they'll just associate it with a stomach illness, but that's within acceptable parameters."
I like it! It makes me think of Indiana Jones mystery adventures and Duplo blocks.
That cover reads: DIGOUTER'S ADVENTURE STORY in HALCYON DAYS
Keep on keepin' on, Japan.
http://androidarts.com/mml/reaverbot_legends.htm this is really awesome stuff.
If you've never checked out this guy's work, he pretty much re-invents series and makes his own version of things. If it sounds stupid and corny, that's because i'm bad at explaining why things that are good are good.

It's fun to look at all this stuff and imagine it's the 1980's, where things like this can still come true.
The worst example of shit Capcom American art was the original Street Fighter Alpha cover where everyone looked like they had Down Syndrome.
I saw a link to a prototype vid of MML3 from NeoGAF and shit looked horrendous. I "liked" the Facebook group and stuff to be a good sport but yea. BTW that group has 35K members, all the noise about this cancellation is coming from a very small group of f-chans.
It's a big very small group of f-chans! They're bigger than Project Rainfall and any other group dedicated to a hopeless goal.
I think you're not wearing your -chan goggles, Diff-chan. I thought it looked pretty nice, like a Legends game, only with more graphix.Quote:

Capcom reported a decrease in sales (but increase in profit due to Super Street Fucker and Reuse of Old Assets #32) recently, so that's another factor that plays into the cancellation. Everything just stacked up against it in the end.
The best part about buying a DSi XL is that I have Flipnote Hatena again!
I made this real quick last night. Might be kind of loud! I think my DS volume was way low when I recorded it.
Also it might get removed because the preview window says FUCK YOU CAPCOM
): it got removed
IT IS THE BEST STATEMENT.
SO GOOD.
http://www.gamesradar.com/got-questi...-ever-play-it/ You can ask THE ONLY VIDEOGAME JOURNALIST TO EVER PLAY THE PROTOTYPE questions.
You can also printClick for full size this out and go to your Gamestop and just leave it everywhere you can imagine.
Also, pls leave the image huge
Legends sucked anyway.
Why is there so many people getting worked up over this game across the net? Like there's not enough Mega Man games to choose from. 8 years ago (probably definitely longer), people were collectively wishing for Mega Man to disappear forever. Good riddance...
I would say, "You'd understand if you played them!" but there's Compass. Compass, you should go back to it and open your heart and maybe you'll understand this time
Mega Man Legends was pretty disconnected from the original series. The main character was called "Mega Man" and there was a girl called "Roll", but beyond that and a few very brief story connections, it was scarcely related to any other MM game.
Legends was special! Do you really like that feeling you get from early Miyazaki movies? Or that feeling you get from NES games that were heavily inspired by Miyazaki movies, by which i mean Crystalis? Or that feeling you get from the original Dragon Ball series or the many things that were inspired by it? Or by Masamune Shirow comics before he figured out how to use a computer?
MML has a lot of heart if nothing else. It has a lot of spirit of the 90's, which is hard to find these days (except in Portland). It was free from all fronting or need to feel badass. It's a game that can think of girls as friends, where the enemies are people too, it's a game that smiles and winks at you because it likes you. It's how Mega Man started and how Mega Man was before it lost its way. It was wonderful.
The big deal is that we never thought it happened, and then it did, and then it was gone forever, because people don't want games like that. They want games like Razor Ramon, that fuck girls and fight mans and blow shit up, and they tell everyone about it because that's what a real man game does. There's a place for those games too, but there's a real lack of games that reflect that 80's-early 90'sness in Japan stuff. It'd be nice if there were more of those games.
I wouldn't care except they announced it, dragging up all my long-forgotten feelings and emotions. Then they crushed them like heels on a kitten head.
Ok that was good Finch. Bravo.
It was Bubble Bobble, dave. God.
Good post Finch, 100% agree.
Shirow never should have discovered computers. :(
Srsly.

SPOILER: IT ONLY MAKES IT WORSE.
I don't care a whole lot about these games, though I enjoyed the shit out of legends. But that genuinely made me sad.

I'll give it that.
all lookin to find rockman and mess with him
all findin inafune cryin in a corner
then goin to get puzzled on some guinness
I want more of the tron Bonne. That is all I really have to add.
This game is never coming out. Close the thread.
Nah. There's still new info about the game every once in a while. This is for videogame history, and so we can all remember what used to be.
Demo for fan-made 8-bit style Japanese Rock Man Dash 3 is up. You'll have to set your PC to Japanese settings and all that jazz to make it work.
The soul still burns.

Penguin Pirates in Halcyon Days is CANCELED
I HATE YOU KEIJI INAFUNE YOU DON"T EVEN CARE EXCEPT MAKING YOUR DUMB NOT MEGA MAN GAME HAVE STUPID DLC KICKSTARTER
I HATE YOU WHAT"S WRONG WITH YOU YOU AREN"T MY UNCLE ANYMORE
i'm not even mad
i'm MAD
UGH
YOU KNOW WHO WAS RIGHT
that guy who's bald and mad all the time on twitter and always blocking people
i forgot his name
KAMIYA
KAMIYA WAS RIGHT, INAFUNE IS A FAKE I HATE HIM
like, it was obvious it was gone
mostly
it's been so long since we heard anything
but i'm still mad
Inafune left his children
Calm down
donk
I need Line stickers for this, nothing else can express my emotions
I'm trying to figure out if Finch thinks it was Inafune who decided to pull the plug on his own game.
This is clearly the work of ISIS. They have gone too far this time.
Damn.
i didn't really believe and i didn't even care about that Penguin game since it was an idea without anything behind it since the beginning and it was obvious Inafune didn't give a shit since he could rip off Mega Man more easily with Not Mega Man No 9 than with Penguin Adventure in Halcyon Days
but look at his face, look how sad he is about his father who left him to die. and i just want to yell at Keiji Inafune because my opinion of him has plummeted
i'm not crazy
Why yes, I do believe you to be as sane as you say you are. *hides knives* Super-sane.
Inafking = "enough fucking"
Guy didn't make meggerman, he just made meggerman drawings. Now that Smash Megaman made his designs look like the dorpy we-woo stuff it always was, guy can go blast off into space.
Cold as ice but pretty close to the truth.
oh his Mega Man drawings were the best
Inafking's drawings are the best, see Breath of Fire 1. I like his drawings. *puts on cool sunglasses and a cool business man sportcoat* I guess you have to be a business man to get by in this world but i do like the creative stuff he actually does.
assuming he actually did it and isn't a big FAKE
His early Mega Man stuff was okay when Mega was still short & chunky, but the evolution where his limbs kept getting skinnier and his legs/gauntlets become enormous was gross.
It just really chaps my hide that late-Inafune Megaman was Capcom's go-to style guide for MvC/merchandising/whatever, even after the artist for 8/Rockman & Forte/1-6 PSX remakes came around and did his thing way better.
But yeah I'll give you that I liked his BOF1 concept stuff better than what it turned into.
Nintendo is going to re-announce this tomorrow with Mother 3 Wii U that looks like clay and Bound High and Dragon Hopper on 3DS Virtual Boy Virtual Console
if i die in my sleep i'll never know it's not true
I think that's going to be announced after a SEGA rep jumps onto the stage and announces the Dreamcast 2.
So Comcept is teasing an announcement this weekend and dropping the word "Legend" an awful lot. I don't know if this is a game or an anime or what, but...
Mega Man Legend Battle Network
Mega Man X7: Legendary Edition
It's also a push of the return key away from being called
RE
DASH
(like Rockman DASH)
and has some other stuff that make me wonder if they're just seeing how close they can get without being sued or they have a deal.
like the emblem on that Probably Not Tron's pink dress sure looking exactly like the one on Tron's pink dress
and the gun saying "BONE COMPANY"
and that thing that's just a reaverbot and they're not even trying to hide it
i'm not getting too excited until we see what it is ha ha just kidding but don't worry i'm getting ready to get mad and be super defensive of it no matter what it is
and of course that guy being Tiesel with a goatee
"Some legends herald greatness, only to lose their way." So yeah, Megaman Legends 3 in a brand new skin. Nice!
what are they looking at, a little boy?
I thought this got lost on the way to the moon?
So it's both an anime and a game
...
kickstarter, two separate ones.
and of course everyone was complaining immediately, but some people were complaining that it's too close to Mega Man Legends? Were you paying attention? I'd take all my money back from MN9 to give to this one because i don't care about new Mega Man games that aren't Mega Man, i just hooked up a hose to my bank account so this could happen.
Although i think they should've announced it after MN9 is released and they should've spaced them out, because i'd probably give more money to both that way. The reward levels are kind of dumb too, like $24 for the animation gets you a 5-minute SD download and the game as of yet, Windows PC only. Even though they hit with a wet thud i think they'll at least make their initial amount for both. It'll probably mean a short game and a very short animated episode, neither of which i'd even mind if they were well-made.
As much as that "DURHUR HE"S A BUSINESBSMAN" image goes around, Inafune doesn't seem to be a very good business man, just a guy with awful opinions about the Japanese gaming market trying to be like the terrible west and a guy who tries to get money for project in a sometimes charming, sometimes just nonsensical way. Like maybe he needs a businessman. but i believe in this because i'll never not believe in mega man legends while i am still alive, no NO YOU DON"T FUCKING ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME OR MAKE SNARKY COMMENTS
And the staff is crazy, with more people who worked on Mega Man Legends than Mega Man Legends 3 actually had, plus Tom-Pon and Manami Matsumae.
also if this happens and it doesn't have any weird issues along the way, Uncle Inafune can be my uncle again, it's allowed
I'm worried about the game being a prologue and not a full-fledged title.
I'm probably going minimum on this one.
Yeah, I think by setting the goals for less than a full game/movie they screwed themselves. I remember Shadow of the Eternals having a similar problem.
If they can make it past a stretch goal or two, you might see a big bump as people on the sidelines jump in, but that'll be hard with how they're tracking right now.
