🗓️ July 18, 2011 marked a dark day for MegaMan Legends fans, as it was the day MegaMan Legends 3 was canceled.

🎮 MegaMan Legends was not a commercial success for Capcom, but it gained a loyal fanbase and saw sequels, spin-offs, and appearances in other titles like Marvel vs Capcom and Dead Rising.

📅 MegaMan Legends 2 ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans eager for a sequel that never materialized, skipping the sixth and seventh console generations.

📢 In September 29, 2010, Keiji Inafune announced that MegaMan Legends 3 was in development for the Nintendo 3DS, igniting excitement among fans.

👥 The Devroom allowed fans to interact with developers, submit ideas, and vote on character designs, fostering a sense of community.

🚫 Unfortunately, on July 18, 2011, the cancellation of MegaMan Legends 3 was announced, just under a year after its reveal.

⚠️ The cancellation was unexpected, as the game had not even been greenlit for full production, and fan involvement was later deemed irrelevant to the decision.

📰 Despite positive feedback on the MegaMan Legends 3 Prototype, Capcom chose not to release it, leaving fans confused and disappointed.

🔍 The reasons for the cancellation remain unclear, with speculation about internal issues at Capcom and the game's marketing strategy contributing to the fallout.

💔 The aftermath left fans feeling abandoned, as Capcom shifted focus to other franchises, treating MegaMan as a lesser priority.

🌟 However, the success of the MegaMan Legacy Collections led to the release of MegaMan 11 in 2018, rekindling hope for the franchise.

🔮 Fans remain optimistic for the future, with potential for a MegaMan Legends Legacy Collection and renewed interest in the series.

📣 A message to Capcom: Many fans are still waiting for a return of MegaMan Legends and hope for future developments.
