Inafune-san has been vocal about the executive meddling and corporate structure in Capcom, they're effectivly a far less successful japanese Activtision. Despite his high rank, even he couldn't get the support to make the games he wanted.
This was a corporate decision, pure and simple, and linked to Inafune's departure. Without him there to constantly go to bat for his projects, they were all canceled in rapid succession.

Capcom's been making very strange decisions with the Megaman franchise. First, they oversaturate the market with knockoffs of popular games and adding Megaman-like characters to it(some, I admit worked well until they started releasing multiple versions of the same game because it worked for Game Freak), then they cancel all the titles that still contain a strong fanbase.
Why does Capcom hate Megaman?
Universe: Canceled
Legends 3: Canceled
They didn't even port DASH or DASH 2 for the PSP outside of Japan because "They couldn't get the rights for or get in contact with the original English VAs." Then they should have just re-recorded the voices. We really would NOT have cared.
and for those thinking that they're canceling Legends 3 to make it a console title, check the Q&A

Most of the players on MvC3 don't even know who Tron is BECAUSE SHE HASN'T BEEN IN A GAME FOR ALMOST ELEVEN YEARS!!!
The reason why MegaMan didn't make it in? Apparently they couldn't think of a good moveset. 24 years and they couldn't think of a moveset?
If the only reason they're holding onto the Megaman title is because they think it is cute to dress up Frank West as Megaman then STOP IT! IT ISN'T! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Because that's ALL Capcom seems to be doing with Megaman. Considering that 2 titles have been canceled, Zero sagas have ended and Star Force was put on hiatus in 2009, Megaman as a game title has died.
You know, I was feeling bad for Capcom because I haven't bought any of their games recently. But if all you got for your fans is a huge screw you, then SCREW YOU TOO CAPCOM! Did you not see the community's reaction when it was announced that this game would be possible? Do you see the response now that you have canceled it? If that's how you're going to treat your fans, then I have no problem jumping ship.
Just do everyone a favor and sell the Megaman brand to a developer who cares. Then at least you can get something out of it rather than just sit on it.

It is bad enough that none of the Blue Bomber's incarnations made the cut for MvC3, but what makes it worse is that Tron Bonne and Zero both made it. They're side characters. Tron Bonne got 1 game, and with Zero's main games his name is a subtitle. MegaMan's name is in the friggen titles of the games. The fans would have been happy with any Megaman. Classic, X, Trigger, .EXE, Star Force, ANY of them would have worked, but Capcom decided to go with none of them.

Wow, this shows EXACTLY why gamers have a bad reputation. You ARE just a bunch of entitled, immature whiners.
YOU are the reason why developers and publishers can't be honest with the gaming community.
Capcom was kind enough to share info on a POSSIBLE game that was still pending approval. They NEVER promised they would make the game, in fact, they EXPLICITLY said that they game could very easily be cancelled.
"OMG I'm not gonna buy Capcom games!"
What's the reasoning here? A company decided developing a product was not the best financial decision so you decide to boycott them (which you won't)? Unless you own stock in the company, THEY OWE YOU NOTHING.

they did it because inafume left the company, not because of money, he got sick of them being like activision mixed with nambai so he left. his mistake was not taking the blue bomber with himfundayz said:
and if it wasnt for the fans there wouldnt be any stock to buy, so yes they do owe us something. and what if i did own stock? does that mean i automatically get to have a say in the matter?
I'm actually glad they did this. From the teaser trailers I've seen of the game it didn't look like it was going to live up to MML series. I'm huge fan of the Mega Man Franchise and MML series, so to me this was a right move by Capcom.
No Keiji... No Mega Man? Ever again? Unless Capcom sells that franchise back to the guy who first drew Mega Man...
I haven't even played Mega Man Legends, and I'm disappointed by this. Mainly because I really like Mega Man, and now with this and Universe cancelled, I'm wondering if Mega Man 10 was really the Blue Bomber's final hour. ;-;
I dunno what's going on at Capcom these days, but they've been kinda frustrating lately. First Universe is cancelled, then I hear Ace Attorney Investigations 2 isn't getting localized, and now this. Yeah, Capcom tends to rehash the same game even more often than Nintendo does on a regular basis (and has been doing so since the 90s at least), but they're still fun to play.
I am SO going to lose it if Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright is axed, too. (DAMMIT! I shouldn't have said that!)

Really? I've wanted a new Megaman Legends game for YEARS!
I'm now convinced that Capcom doesnt' know how to do diddly SHIT in terms of games.
Oh we'll release a fighting game, then we'll release the fighting game AGAIN with 5 new characters and charge full price for it, even if you own the previous version.
We'll make a PS3 Port of a PSP Monster Hunter, but only release it in Japan.
Look at my money Capcom! FEAR IT! for apparently they recoil in the concept that they could recieve my money if I could have interest in anything they make, so they have to make tons of shitty decisions to keep as much money away from them as possible.

They're probably going to make Wesker come back as a zombie. "But he died in a sea of lava" Okay then he'll probably come back as a Darth Vader zombie.DMShade said:

Apparently the reason is because there wasn't enough fan involvement?
Uh, excuse me capcom?!
I didn't even learn about the damn game, though I was very excited to do so, until after most of the devroom's contests had ended.
This website I'm sure less than a third of MML3's fanbase even ever visited was a prerequisite to the prototype's release, which is in turn a prerequisite to the final game?!
Capcom you make me want to hurt you.

Hopefully alot of us will live true to our promise of boycotting by not only avoiding anything labeled Capcom but also returning all their games that aren't Megaman. So so long Lost Planet 2, for the quarter hour of fun you brought. Please everyone go through with us on this, do not buy Capcom and boo Capcom at comic con. Let's send a message.
I used to respect Capcom, I didn't see them as a corporation in the same sense as I do Nintendo or Sony. I used to believe that they actually cared about the fans, that they saw us as people not livestock that eat video games and crap money. Now I jaut don't to have anything to do with them. I used to idolize Capcom now I hate them, and I still idolize Inafune and I hope they sell the IP of Megaman to Inafune as a symbol,"sorry we were dicks, here, we know you won't take us back but no hard feelings." No more Crapcom until I get Megaman back. God, I wonder how Inafune is dealing with this? Legends was his favorite spin off and Volnutt(or Trigger for the Megafans) his favorite incarnation.

You know, there are tons of parallels of the state of the industry now, to the state of the industry back in the 80s leading up to the crash '83.Sabrestar said:
There are tons of samey, shitty games being released, just like back then. Developers basically being treated like shit by the all powerful publishers, again, just like back then. The one new thing about the present is the ever accelerating push for publishers to squeeze control out of consumers' hands.
The only solution to the industry as it is today is another crash. Yes, the first crash was incredibly unfortunate for all the talented developers, but it gave birth to great things, just as the next crash will.
