Megaman Legends 3.

"We cancelled it because the fans didn't show enough interest or act like they wanted it badly enough!"

I think a sizable fraction of the world's population is still salty about that, and it's been 14 years.

I'm a battle network fan and never played Legends but I feel for you.

Legends was such a weird series. It felt like a Mega Man take on something like Ocarina of Time.

I should give it a try for sure.

It's a great trio of games (Legends 1 and 2, and the Misadventures of Tron Bonne) with quite a bit of depth and if you ask me a fantastic art direction for their time. The one thing I will say is that the controls did not age very well. You get used to it after a while. These games predate modern dual-stick movement and aiming and use the shoulder buttons for strafing. I think the Playstation versions are superior due to the increased number of buttons available on the controller.

I haven't bought a capcom game since this

To be fair, they haven't managed to put out a whole hell of a lot that's actually compelling in the intervening years that weren't rereleases. "Hey guys, DAE remember Resident Evil 4? The good one? We just re-re-re-released it. And some old Megaman games you already have. Full price!"

Yeah, I came to mention this one specifically. The Legends series was incredible at the time, and there was a lot of potential for a third game with more modern controls. But instead, Capcom has made it clear that they intend to simply sit on the IP and never do anything with it.
