Mega Man Legends 3's new heroine chosen
Capcom has announced the results of the first effort in its design-by-large-committee process for Mega Man Legends 3 Project. Fans voted to choose the character design for a new heroine, with Shinsuke Komaki's design (above) winning by 2,400 votes. "Being able to hear opinions directly from you the fans was a unique experience for me," Komaki said, "and I am so thrilled to be a part of Legends 3 in this capacity." Meanwhile, the real best design, Hayato Kaji's girl in a Metool helmet, landed in 8th place. Great job, community.%Gallery-104715%
Blockman Dash mod mixes Mega Man Legends and Minecraft
In Minecraft, you can pretty much build anything, so some fans set out to ease the tension of waiting for Mega Man Legends 3 Project by creating a Mega Man Legends-based mod called Blockman Dash. Check out a tour of Apple Market past the break!
Video: Capcom's Mega Man Legends 3 panel at New York Comic-Con
Thanks to this video after the break, you can (virtually) be there at the New York Comic-Con to experience Keiji Inafune's surprise reveal of Mega Man Legends 3 Project for yourself. Inafune asks the audience to help design the rocket to rescue Mega Man from Elysium (where he was stranded at the end of Mega Man Legends 2), introduces the semi-democratic design process Capcom is trying out, and even ... puts out a "help wanted" sign. If you love Mega Man, read fluent Japanese, and want to live in San Mateo, CA, you could be Capcom's Developer Room Liaison! It would be a nice way to pick up some money for a 3DS, at least.
Mega Man Legends 3 invites fans to actively participate in game development
"It's been ten years since the last Mega Man Legends game," Inafune reminded the captive New York Comic Con audience, before unveiling a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Mega Man Legends 3 Project for Nintendo 3DS. Why the "Project" in the title? Inafune clarified that this "project" would be a collaborative experience -- but not in the Mega Man Universe kind of way. Instead, the community will be able to actively participate in the development of the game. The Capcom-Unity website will be updated with a "Dev Room," where fans will be able to submit their gameplay ideas, boss ideas, character ideas, and more. In the future, fans will be able to vie for a position in the game's voice cast. The first challenge for fans is to pick the next heroine in the Legends series. Nine different artists, including Inafune himself, are offering designs. The fan-driven vote will determine the female star of Legends 3. Keep an eye on the Dev Room for your chance to decide the future of the long-dormant Legends series. Update: Now with first video, after the break!%Gallery-104715%
'Mega Man Legends 3 Project' heading to 3DS from Capcom
Alongside announcements of the price and release date for the forthcoming 3DS, Nintendo ushered Capcom representatives on stage at its Japanese press conference to announce the "Mega Man Legends 3 Project." Though Capcom isn't saying much, its Twitter account claims that fans will "have an opportunity like never before" in the creation of the title, specifically saying people will "interact directly with the team!" More news will apparently be coming out of the New York Comic Con, which kicks off next week on Friday.
Mega Man Legends 3 may exist, if Inafune finds tons of zenny
Here's a story that hits a personal note. Mega Man has always held a very, very precious spot in the gaming world for us (read: me). Following the franchise from MM 1 - 6, jumping to the SNES 7 the three Mega Man X series of games, even the Mega Man Soccer game, to the PS One release of Mega Man 8, Mega Man X 4 - 8, it's a staple. Oh, let's not forget the ninth installment with Mega Man and Bass. That one was tough. What a lot of people didn't follow, however, were the incredibly entertaining and highly enjoyable Mega Man Legends titles. There were only two, but well worth your time. And no, the game boy games don't count. There are too darn many to care about. Maybe the ZX series.Anyway, in a surprise interview with the creator of Mega Man, 1UP asked if there were any plans to bring next-gen treatment the blue bomber's way. Keiji Inafune said that he'd like to, but worried that it would be impossible to recoup the costs of making such a game on next-gen platforms. So, when told to ignore the whole monetary part of it, he replied thus: "I think it probably would be Mega Man Legends 3. And that's not just me -- a lot of the original team members would also love to make a sequel. They talk about it. I talk about it sometimes. I know they love that series and so do I. If I were to say right now, I have a tiny, tiny, tiny dream that I wish I could realize, but I don't know if it's possible, it would be to do a sequel in the Legends series."Hell. Yes. It's great to actually hear that -- it's Capcom's most promising Mega Man series, really. Promising, not lucrative. Inafune said that the engine to build that game on would probably be the same as that used in Dead Rising or Lost Planet, which makes sense. Especially if you compare the movement mechanics in the latter to the Legends games. We hope this happens -- if you're rich, Inafune is asking you to pelt him with change until he's got the cash. We'll pitch in.
