Mega Man is neither apprehended nor slain. HOPE!

I'm assuming you've all seen the new trailer for Phoenix Wright and Nova for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Along with the gameplay reveal of the new characters, some of the released gameplay videos also showed off some new stages. There's a certain detail in one of those stages that is causing a lot of buzz.

In the stage 'Future Past' there is a wanted poster showing off a bunch of characters with either the label 'slain' or 'apprehended'. Much like the Uncanny X-Men comic cover which features mutants from the X-Men series, this poster shows off a lot of characters from Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Each character already has a mark. Everyone except one character that is.

List of Apprehended Characters – Colossus Ruby Heart Gambit Hayato Psylocke BB Hood Unknown?

List of Slain Characters – Cyclops Marrow Ice Man Jin Saotome Cable Amingo Captain Commando Son Son

Characters with no label or an obscured label - Mega Man

Missing Characters – Thanos Blackheart Venom Juggernaut Omega Red Rogue Sabretooth Silver Samurai Spiral Anakaris Roll Servebot Cammy Charlie Dan Dhalsim Guile Ken Bison Sakura Zangief Uncanny X-Men #141

Mega Man Legends 3 Canceled

Mega Man Legends 3, a game that I have been dreaming for almost a decade now. That dream is oficially dead. Very sad news for Mega Man fans and 3DS owners ar, Capcom has canceled Mega Man Legends 3.

From [Gameinformer]

Announced via a blog post on Capcom-Unity, the publisher says the cancellation is due to the game failing to meet "required criteria" that would decide whether it went into full production. As such, Capcom says it has no plans to develop Legends 3 nor to release the prototype version of the game that was being worked on. The prototype was originally set to be distributed onto 3DS units via Nintendo's eShop in the near future.

Well, there goes any chance of me getting a 3DS now. Ocarina of Time 3D looks kickass but my driving force for even planning to get the glasses-free 3D handheld was Legends 3. Sad sad day.

Capcom can make it up to me though by releasing Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 on PSN but apparently they can't do that either due to licensing issues.

Random Gaming Post # 21

I know this video/song isn't quite new but I'm still on my Mega madness and I got compelled to search this and have been listening to it a little too much much.

To the windows, to the wall. Til the sweat drips from my ballz. I'm beating you down to the fuckin' ground. I got a Mega Buster for ya'll!

Moar Mega Man madness

Continuing my Mega Man craze, I put back Mega Man Powered Up in my PSP. you might have caught me playing it live on our Justin.tv channel.

The demo of both the new style and old style of cutman's stages where included in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X and when I last played Powered Up, I kinda cheated and just downloaded a save game on Gamefaqs with everything unlocked cause I was too lazy to unlock everything back then.

Now I started on a clean slate and I just beat all the 8 Robot Masters on the Easy and Normal difficulty. Easy so that I can beat them with just the Mega Buster so that they can become playable and Normal so that I can find the creation parts and beating stuff on Normal will unlock something later on.

So yeah, been playing that. Gutsman's stage is still the biggest load of BS in the Mega Man universe. I curse those damn moving platforms! Timeman's stage is also kind of a bitch at a certain point.

Did I mention that the game has a level editor mode? You can create custom stages and share them online. Here's an example of a stage that's impossible to beat. XD

Capcom! I love you again! Mega Man Legends 3 Flutter Music

When Capcom announced that the development for Mega Man Legends 3 got halted indefinitely, I was devastated. One of my favorite video game series of all time finally gets a third game before Inafune left Capcom and then Capcom saying that its halted and shortly after, Mega Man Universe gets cancelled. I was scared that MML3 would never see the light of day.

Capcom has come back saying that they have continued dev work on MML3 and gave us a delicious amount of gameplay videos lately has made me learn to love them again. After listening to this, I was reminded as to why I really enjoyed the Mega Man Legends series even though it deviated so far from the classic 2D side scrolling Blue Bomber.

Remix of the flutter music from MML3 found on the official website http://www.capcom.co.jp/rockman/dash3/

If that didn't bring your nostalgia level to maximum, I don't know what will. That said, maybe these videos will do the job of hyping you up for the game.
