Not surprised, UMvC3 had been all but confirmed by the fanbase for awhile now.

While we (or most of us, anyways) weren't mad at Inafune to begin with, it's amazing he stepped up like that. Respect for him is sky high, personally.

Out of the 3 big console names, I believe Nintendo would do it the most justice. As NemZ said, it doesn't require the graphical level everyone somehow thinks Sony and Microsoft needs, and Nintendo's always been the king of creating rich worlds from simple, but colorful, detail. They'd be the best new home for the Blue Bomber.

It's been pointed out here and in the MML3 Cancellation thread, there's a number of reasons that it's happening. I had a nice 40 minute debate last night with the foil to us Mega Man fans, my long-time internet friend who's a big-time SF fan. When you compare the perspectives, they spell out where and what Capcom's been doing.

My friend went fighting for the side of the business perspective, which is one thing the MM community is up in flames about. The fact is (let's be honest here) that Mega Man games, as much as we hate to admit it, haven't sold nearly as well as things such as Dead Rising, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, etc. And the current direction Capcom takes business-wise is very safe; they've been using the same formulas to continue selling, thus all the SFIV releases (I will point out that all SF entries have gotten rereleases, however), the rather cop-out-ish RE Mercs 3D, and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. That stuff is very sell-able, due to the mass quantities of DLC opportunities which stuff like that has.

The problem is, our loyal faction of the Capcom fanbase expected more than that. Companies like SEGA, while always subjected to thousands of complaints, continued trying to make Sonic games even after we realized how bad it got with Sonic 06. Nintendo announced Luigi's Manson 2, not because the first was a monster hit, but because it's a fan favorite. For a company that's been in the business for as long as Capcom has, we expected that they'd want to appeal to their core fanbase that lies in us, the Mega Man fans. After such a knive as the sudden cancellation of MML3, we can see that's not where they want to go.

Business wise, it makes sense. But the blatant ignorance of fan demand has just made them plenty of enemies.

Ivory made my point for me basically, haha. I think even with a new director, Capcom would still go in the direction they've taken now. Mega Man just seems to be off their list of things to do!

Everything because Inafune left. But, guys, be happy. Inafune really ruined the whole X story just to start Zero story. Also, he's the one who started to ruin Mega Man classic series. Why? Because Inafune is an asshole who doesn't know to do something new. That's why MM9 and MM10 were 8-bit. I bet these games would be MUCH better with the new graphical generation.  Also, with the 8-bit games, is less the budget and MUCH MORE the profit. Just think about it guys. If there's a new director this time, hope he's not as whore as Inafune was.

Considering MMU pushed towards the new graphical ring, and that Inafune wanted it, I respectfully disagree. And Capcom's the one which kinda drove the X series' plot down, as they wanted more games. Inafune intended to stop at 5, if I recall right!

Meanwhile at Capcom:
Kenzo Tsujimoto: CANCEL ALL THE THINGS!
Katsuhiko Ichii: OK
Trust me, that's EXACTLY how it went.

Essentially, at least, from what Capcom bothers to tell us. It's shame everything with the exception of Aero appearing in an art book isn't even going to be used in the future, too. Although this means I can finally claim Feather Head as my own *shot*

That's exactly what I thought. 4chan is the king of rumors. :P

Greg took his shot at putting closure on this. I commend him for trying to calm us, that's for sure.

Squidgy you have a point, we'll be lucky if that even leaves Korea. It's hard times for us Mega Man fans. :<

Quick, someone do a tribute and record a MM8BDM match with everyone using the Mega Man Volnutt skin!

Heck, someone just insert it officially to the game! Unless Capcom changes heart, it's something that should be done for poor Trigger!

True, but it's easy to pick a screen cap apart. Plus, it's 4chan haha.

Either way, it's disgusting to see stuff like that, true or not. But that's because it hits so close to home.

I post that in regards that it could of easily been hoaxed, so I have no idea if that's actually true on 4chan.

If it is, someone ban Capcom from society. :P

Not to mention the fans were deeply involved in the development this time.

Yeah, all the contests, ideas, and hopes the fans had been a part of while working on this were completely dashed ruined. They got so close with one of their favorite series, to be told it's officially to waste is horrible to them!

I feel kind of bad, because I don't quite understand why people are upset. I just assumed it was another game cancellation. Just kind of know I didn't follow CAPCOM or anything and I have never played Legends.

The backlash is terrible because, as Cutman pointed out, the MML fanbase is a very noisy one. But they're like that because there was never a 'real' ending to the series yet, and this was their chance. To see the loving attitude of the Dev Team and to be so involved in the process just to have Capcom go 'Nope' is a kick to the face for a large majority who were involved.
