Capcom Needs Help Building a Mega Mecha

The creators behind Mega Man Legends 3 want you to design one of the game's mecha.

Before Keiji Inafune's asked the common folk [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104836-Mega-Man-Creator-Quits-the-Game] to choose the game's heroine, but the second initiative will be somewhat more hands-on. Now, Capcom needs your mecha design ideas.

A post in the Mega Man Legends 3 Dev Room has detailed the process through which one enterprising mecha designer can get his/her name in the game's credits. The initiative is decidedly more involved than the choice of a heroine, which was a simple vote. This time, Capcom has posted various documents which designers must follow to create the ideal mecha for a particular situation in Legends 3.

The mecha is one built by the Bonne family, from which you may know Tron Bonne whom has been featured in the Servbots [http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-vs-Capcom-Worlds-Xbox-360/dp/B003IE9V28/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289345116&sr=8-1].

The Dev Room post is a translation of one from the game's Japanese Dev Room, but fans from other regions will presumably be able to upload their mecha ideas soon. If you've got an artistic streak, get to work, because you could get your name in videogame lights alongside the talent working on the next big Mega Man title.

I hear you. I'm thinking of some sweet designs in my head. Darn it.

 

[Mordwyl]

I'm in.

I want to do this but i have no scanner or tablet.

I'm not an artist, so I won't be entering, but I hope Legends 3 is a success... I want "The Further Misadventures of Tron Bonne"!

 

[Infernoshadow211]

I'd share some of my ideas but someone might steal them.

I shall begin now drawing now as I have been waiting for this game for years. Still saddened that Keiji Inafune left before the game was done.

 

[SachielOne]

What, are they out of their own ideas?

Dueling Analogs has been pitching them for years...

I'm actually starting not to like this whole "we need your help" thing so much. Capcom, you do not need our help. You could be making the game right now and it could be done sooner, which means I could be playing it sooner. Come on, you are all big boys and girls and know how to make a game. So just do it so we can play.

Be nice if they asked for our input for earlier megaman games. Zero probably wouldn't have orb boob looking things though I've gotten used to the version in your avatar but his original design looked whack.
