So, is it just me who played MM Legends 2 on the PSone and still thinks Capcom owes a sequel to the story, and of course, to the fans?
To me graphics never mattered that much. It doesn't matter how good a new CoD looks, the gameplay is always the same. You walk, run, shoot... it's fun, of course, but these are the same mechanics being recycled and framed by updated graphics. Growing up in the 90's was quite the experience. Back in the day we would rent SNES cartdriges and our only way of knowing whether the game was good or bad was the cover art.
Of course, I'm not one of those old school guys bashing on the new generations as there's plenty of stuff that I like nowadays and I think most gamers in general are way too harsh on the gaming industry. It's not about graphics, it's not about the gimmicks, it's about having fun. New or old, a game's ultimate purpose is to be fun, and Megaman Legends was really good at it.
So here's my point: I'm a huge Megaman fan if you can't tell by now. I remember when I was in 1st grade and one of the teachers asked me who my favorite hero was and I answered it was the blue bomber. Of course, everyone was puzzled about who this Megaman was and they did their research to find out. I would even watch that old cartoon: "Super fighting robot, Megaman!". Yeah, the lyrics were deep and elaborate *sarcasm*.
Legends 2 brought so many new mechanics: locking on and firing missiles, skate rolling across the map, the water stages were so epic... I know there's a huge community of Legends fans out there who have been patiently waiting for Legends 3 until Capcom officially cancelled it.
On a side note: a well-known game that has always been compared to Megaman is getting a fan-made remake that's as good (if not better) as an official release. I'm talking about Metroid and AM2R. So, here's my question to you guys: how far would you go for Legends 3? Have you ever thought about developing the game yourself? I for one would give up on playing any other title on the 3DS if that was the requirement to play Legends 3.
To what length would you go to play it?
