Developer(s) Capcom Publisher(s) Capcom Director(s) Masakazu Eguchi[1] Producer(s) Tatsuya Kitabayashi[2] Composer(s) Reo Uratani[3] Series Mega Man Legends Engine MT Framework Platform(s) Nintendo 3DS[1] Release date(s) Cancelled[4] Genre(s) Action RPG Mega Man Legends 3, known as Rockman DASH 3 (ロックマンDASH 3 Rokkuman Dasshu Surī) in Japan, was a video game set to be the sequel to Mega Man Legends 2 and was going to be the fourth game in the Mega Man Legends series. It was announced for the Nintendo 3DS on September 29, 2010, during a Nintendo press conference for the 3DS, nearly ten years after the American release of Mega Man Legends 2.[5] In September 2007, Keiji Inafune commented that he was asked by several fans if Mega Man Legends 3 would be made; although Inafune expressed a desire to make such a game, he stated that he could not do it at that time.[6] Detailed information about the game was announced at the New York Comic Con in October 2010.[5] On July 18th, 2011, Capcom officially announced the game had been cancelled.[7]
Although Inafune left Capcom in November 2010, the team working for Mega Man Legends 3 stated that the game would continue development.[8] Capcom intended to release Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version in 2011 for the 3DS eShop, featuring 10 missions, and a new playable character, Barrett.[9] The Prototype Version was going to act as a prologue to the forthcoming main game.[10]
On July 18, 2011, it was announced that production on Mega Man Legends 3 was being cancelled, and that neither a full game, nor Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version would be released, and that there were currently no plans to resume production.[11]
A Facebook group by the name "100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3"[12] was created to resume the game's production. The group currently has 51,000 followers.
