Arghh,y 3DS and not Wii?????

Hello again, This is MML3 director Masakazu Eguchi!

Let me start by thanking you all for your flood of comments. The sheer number of comments was unbelievable! But of course, it isn’t just about the numbers. The thought and feeling you put into each post was amazing, and we felt that! Thank you!

The staff here who also follow this blog everyday are excited as well. Even Inafune, joined in the conversation a bit, responding, “You betcha,” to a poster who asked, “Are you really Keiji Inafune?” He’s just cool like that.(I may jump on a thread or two now and then myself.)

From now on I’ll be using this blog to give you detailed updates, so please chime in with your feedback!

Hit the jump for the rest of the message!

...And so with that said, why don’t I tell you a little bit about myself and the rest of the MML3 staff.

First of all, as it says in profile on the left, I got my first shot at directing my own title with Mega Man Legends 2. Before that, I was working as a planner. I was in charge of things like the Nino Island Ruins, Calinca Ruins, and Pirate Train missions.

I was still a freshman back then, and truth is that there are some things I wanted to do with Legends 2, but didn’t.

Even as I poured myself into the EXE and Star Force projects, I held onto those things and stored them away somewhere in a corner of my heart. This time, as director of Legends 3, inside I am like, “Yesss! It’s time!”

Now, let me tell you who will be working with me to make Legends 3...

First, we have Yoshinori Kawano, director of Legends 1 and Legends 2 who will be overseeing the overall Legends 3 project and offering his unique insight to the rest of the staff into what makes Legends the legend it is. He is as much my spiritual mentor now as he was then, and as strict as he is kind.

Also, we have reunited art directors, planners, designers from the early Legends titles as well as enlisted support from their students, the members EXE and Star Force teams. To top it off, we’ve sprinkles in leaders and key staff from the Monster Hunter, Lost Planet, and Basara titles. I think that it is safe to say that we have put together a team of talent who will best be able to combine the best of both old and new for this project.

We are all going to do our best to bring you a truly unforgettable adventure! We’re working on a plan to get users with no prior experience with Legends interested as well, and we’d love to get your help! But I’ll tell you more about that later.

If I don’t wrap this up soon, I won’t have time to get this blog entry translated and put up on our overseas site. (Real talk)

Talk to you next time! This weekend is NY Comic Con!

There have been some very exciting announcements taking place at New York Comic Con, including for one of you to have a direct impact on the future of the Mega Man Legends 3 Project.

This will be your resource to help provide input on the design of Mega Man Legends 3.  There will be two sites, one that supports Japanese and one that supports English.

To show we are serious about involving fans from all over the world in the game’s design, we need one of YOU, a Mega Man fan, to help manage the site. As such, we are excited to announce a new temporary position in our San Mateo, California campus: The Mega Man Developer Room Community Liaison!

Whoever receives this position must:

- Manage the relationship and translation between the Japanese and English versions of the Developer Room.

Help be part of history and make the Developer Room a success!  Good luck!

Man I swear Capcom is quickly becoming the next Activision. 

Charging for DLC that is already on disc (Resident Evil 5), Unerase-able save data for Mercenaries 3D and now this.

Its not the only game that got cancelled, if I did my research right, there were about 7 games that were cancelled, which is half of the games that were cancelled for the PSP in the course of 7 years. 3DS has been out a few months and already has over half that number.

Here's a helpful list of depression

Canceled:
Saints Row: Drive By
Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy
Megaman Legends 3
Megaman Legends 3: Prototype
Bomberman 3D
Omega Five
Bonk
MyGarden
DJ Hero 3D

Delayed:
Crush 3D
Cave Story 3D
Kid Icarus

Nevertheless, I still love my 3DS and look forward to future developments

Capcom partnered with Solatorobo creator and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja developer CyberConnect2 to create Asura’s Wrath. It’s a brand new intellectual property where you play as an enraged demigod who gets beat down by planet-sized bosses before turning the fight around with a dramatic comeback.

Asura’s Wrath will be CyberConnect2′s first Capcom published title when it comes out next year. Curious to see what the future could hold and since Capcom lets external developers work on established franchises, I asked Hiroshi Matsuyama, CEO and President of CyberConnect2, what Capcom series would he like to develop.

"It would be Mega Man Legends 3," exclaimed Matsuyama in a Siliconera interview. "I really like the series!" Just this week Capcom canceled the Mega Man Legends 3 project for Nintendo 3DS where fans collaborated with the development staff on creating a sequel. Matsuyama said he was disappointed by that announcement. CyberConnect2′s work on Solatorobo and Tail Concerto could be a foundation for a Mega Man Legends sequel too. Would any fans "green light" a Mega Man Legends game from the Fukuoka based developer?
