"Heya folks, Skybane here! In honor of the 5th anniversary of Legends 3's cancellation, we at Get Me Off The Moon are proud to present a documentary on the story of Mega Man Legends 3's development!!
This was actually a project that we had been working on for far longer than our two new MML3 support campaigns. It was quite an ambitious undertaking, as we had to gather together a ton of sources from a project that had been canned five years ago. Fortunately, we still had access to the ultimate information archive for Legends 3's development: the MML3 Devroom. Believe it or not, even after 5 years, the Devroom blog and forum are still publicly available on Capcom-Unity for anyone to view. Not one official post has been touched. This made collecting/verifying info about the project's development much easier for us, as almost everything we wanted to know was already in one place. Still, that "one place" was pretty big and we still had to do quite a lot of digging. While it's true that MML3 was only in development for about 8 months, the dev team shared a ton of content from the game during that time. We had over 280 blog posts to go through!
That said, while this documentary did take a while to put together, we're really pleased with how it turned out! We think it manages to communicate the story of Legends 3 in a very clear, comprehensive, and accurate manner. For me, personally, I'm very happy that we now have a detailed account of the Legends 3 scenario to use as a future reference. There are a lot of people in and outside of the Mega Man fanbase that really don't know a whole lot of the facts behind Legends 3's development, and as a result, they can't fully understand why the game's cancellation crushed fans so thoroughly. I'm really hoping that this documentary will serve to enlighten these kinds of people, and show them why fans are still pining for this sequel five years later. Of course, given just how extensive the story of Legends 3 is, I think that even some of the more dedicated Legends fans will be able to learn new things from this video. As a result, I hope that everyone will give it a watch!
Special thanks go out to Yoshinator for editing the video and Hypershell for assisting as an excellent information consultant! It was a real pleasure to work with these two folks!
Anyway, we hope that you all enjoy this documentary on the story of Mega Man Legends 3! It was certainly a heartfelt project from our team!
Until next time, folks, keep fighting the good fight--Legends Never Die!"

When I become rich, megaman legends 3 will be on my list for production.

5 years later, and i thought i buried this anger. But god dammit Capcom, i still can't forgive them.

Capcom cancelled other finished Mega Man games (Mega Man Universe) along with Mega Man Legends 3. Capcom seemingly cancelled the games out of spite because of Inafune's departure. It was like us fans were the children in a Japanese divorce. ( ._.) ...Feelsbad Man.

To this day, I have NEVER forgiven capcom for canceling MML3...... The proto-type is the ONLY reason I have a 3ds.

Almost a decade since the cancellation. I was 5 when I first played Legends in 1998. It was one of my first games I had ever played. I hold so many emotions when I think about all the fun I had playing these games. Legends had so much charm and love put into it. I have so many fond memories of adventuring Kattelox Island. Legends 2 had such a rich world behind it. So many unique characters and a genuinely intriguing plot. One of the best if not the best looking game on the original Playstation. I was 17 when Legends 3 was announced. I will be 27 in April. I still tear up thinking about thisWho's here in 2021 with the smallest flicker of hope still in their heart?Still crushed after all this time...The only reason I got the 3ds was for this. Never forget Legends 3!2017 and he's still on the moon :(I grew up with Legends 1 and 2, it's an absolute shame the way things turned out for the third game. Thank you for the video it really cleared things up and explained what happened for the most part.Incredible documentary, Legends is my Favorite series of all Time! i Hope one day Capcom open their eyes and see how Incredible and ambicious this project was and turn it on again!A lot has happened these last 4 years. Megaman got revived with 11, Resident Evil 2 and 3 finally got remakes, Devil May Cry 5 happened. Outside capcom, Sonic Mania was amazing (crazy enough that it was made by fan modders), Bloodstained was a pretty good spiritual successor to Castlevania and while I'm not familiar with the series, Shenmue 3 exists. 20 years since Legends 2, 9 years after the cancellation of Legends 3DS. I think it's time Megaman Legends 3 to finally shine, whether it's kickstarted or gets screamed into existence by fan support, it just needs to happen! >:VHe's on the moon? Zero: Hold my beer, oh wait..I will never ever get over the cancelleration of Megaman Legends 3. it still hurts me to this day.Still waiting,maybe one day he'll get off the moonEven till this day I suffer watching this.It's crazy a dump of the ROM hasn't surfaced online. Even the McDonald's DS rom was dumped online.I joined the dev room asap, and tried to participate in many forums. Then the project cancelled on my birthday month. I remember a post on my birthday even.I'm still keeping my fingures Crossed that Legends 3 will eventualy come to be. Hey a Rhyme
