Megaman Universe (PS3/360)

Fuck... means MML3 is next

I don't get it, why cancel stuff that is so far into development and you know it's going to sell well? This was DLC anyways. I know Inafune left, but it seemed like the architect for the game was already in place. It's odd. The first time I saw anything about this game was at SD Comic Con '10 and it was being teased at the Capcom and MvC3 booth. I am sad

I figured this was gonna happen, and I've already called the MML3 cancellation over a month ago. Not even anticipating that it's actually coming out anymore.

Is it too early for April Fools in Japanland?

Is it too early for April Fools in Japanland?

6am EST would have still been the 31st in Japan. If it's an April fool's joke, it was awful early and a pretty strange title to do it with.

Capcom Japan Doesn’t Believe Mega Man Is Popular In The U.S.

After seeing the news that Capcom cancelled Mega Man Universe, I thought about a conversation Seth Killian, Community Manger, and I had after talking about Mega Man Legends 3.



"There is also sort of this weird in Japan where a lot of Japanese developers, at least internal in Capcom sort of don’t believe Mega Man is popular in the U.S.," Killian said.



I was stunned since the Mega Man series, in my opinion, has a large and quite vocal following in North America. With a bit of disbelief, I replied with "Really?"



"Yeah, I had the same response! Like ‘Really? Really really?’ because he is really popular here," Killian responded. "People really like the character, X, and everything down the line."



Back to Mega Man Legends 3, Killian re-iterated what he said in our interview earlier, "Frankly, if you can rally your friends [for Mega Man Legends 3] they are looking at that kind of thing. I gotta say this isn’t a cheap publicity stunt where like (says in a comical voice) you can get all of your friends over to come here and help us out then the game’s future is OK. (back in his regular voice) Those are a contributing factor, but it’s also dependent on the team’s own work and the project they can put together with the budget and timeline they’ve been assigned."
