Awesome. Will definitely be interested in seeing how MML3 turns out (maybe we'll get that prototype version after all?) and the Marvel vs Capcom collection. Those were great fighters although we're missing a few obvious ones that they're saving for collection #2

I don't see what's the obsession with MML3. Legends 2 sucked and its best contribution to the Megaman franchise is that you can shoot Roll. It's true whoever made Legends 2 probably moved on but it's not exactly an esteemed series to inherit. Although Megaman Trigger and Roll Caskett are certainly likeable characters, they're probably not even anywhere near 5 of the most popular/interesting characters in the Megaman universe. If the Master was really Zero we could have something here, but knowing Capcom it's only going to talk about these things in totally ambigious terms, assuming the current staff is even aware of the fact that the Master was supposed to be Zero.

That's why I said I was interested to see how it turns out, not that i was going to buy it day 1. The Legends idea was always neat, just had a mediocre implementation. Now that we're over a dozen years later, i wanna see what they do with the idea

[Don]

The Legends series is mired with the fact that the Legends cast are clearly nowhere near the most popular of the Megaman characters. Sure, the gameplay and story could matter too, but Megaman series also has a ton of history, or at least some clearly favored characters out there.

I think it'd be cool if they just take a Megaman all star cast in a 3D platformer open world game and see what they can do with it. Megaman Trigger is possibly the least popular character with Megaman in his name in the Megaman series, not counting the ZX stuff (I'm not sure if any of those characters are even called Megaman). That's not where you should go to to instill interest in a forgotten franchise.

Do you have a link? I've Googled for about five minutes now and all I can see is that everything in your OP are unconfirmed rumors.
