Megaman Legends 3.

"We cancelled it because the fans didn't show enough interest or act like they wanted it badly enough!"

I think a sizable fraction of the world's population is still salty about that, and it's been 14 years.

I'm a battle network fan and never played Legends but I feel for you.

Legends was such a weird series. It felt like a Mega Man take on something like Ocarina of Time.

[–] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I should give it a try for sure.

It's a great trio of games (Legends 1 and 2, and the Misadventures of Tron Bonne) with quite a bit of depth and if you ask me a fantastic art direction for their time. The one thing I will say is that the controls did not age very well. You get used to it after a while. These games predate modern dual-stick movement and aiming and use the shoulder buttons for strafing. I think the Playstation versions are superior due to the increased number of buttons available on the controller.

I haven't bought a capcom game since this

To be fair, they haven't managed to put out a whole hell of a lot that's actually compelling in the intervening years that weren't rereleases. "Hey guys, DAE remember Resident Evil 4? The good one? We just re-re-re-released it. And some old Megaman games you already have. Full price!"

That seems pretty reductive IMO. Like RE7 and RE8 are genuinely good returns to form for the series. The RE2 and RE4 releases are remakes which by most standards improve the original releases and bring them into the current generation.

Then throw in the Phoenix Wright games, Monster Hunter games, Dragon’s Dogma games, Street Fighter games, DMC…

I would argue Capcom has been on a tear of very good games, especially in the last 5 years.

I didn't even know about it until I read this comment, but now I'm one of the salty.

Yeah, I came to mention this one specifically. The Legends series was incredible at the time, and there was a lot of potential for a third game with more modern controls. But instead, Capcom has made it clear that they intend to simply sit on the IP and never do anything with it.
