Pour another one out
Mega Man— the fanbase that never stops dreaming.
No matter what, even with a complete lack of proper releases, we never give up hope. I still look backat my collectionafter grabbing a game to play out of it weekly and think — “one day.” As I’ve said a million times, Capcom should sell the game license off to Nintendo and retain merchandising rights (which is all they really want).
Alas, all this reminiscing isn’t for nothing, asMega Man Legends 3was canceled five years ago this very week, sparking the creation of the Get Me Off the Moon (also known as100,000 Strong) community. I know people throw around the word “entitled” a lot, but I’ve rarely seen a group run with as much passion as them, and I’m proud to call myself a member.
They’re alsostillat it five years laterwith two “operations.”One is titled “Network of Legends,” and the goal is to show Capcom that you’ve purchased eitherLegends, Legends 2, orTron Bonneoff of the PSN to support the idea of a follow-up (I like this because it doesn’t encourage people to necessarily buy something). Then there’s “Legendary Resolve,” which basically amounts to creating a book to justifyLegends 3.
Note that all of this has been incredibly civil, and the community itself has crafted some amazing artworkand contentout of this whole debacle. We may never get anotherLegendsgame, but we have this in the meantime.
