Kinda sorta
Mega Manfans have probably given up on theLegendsseries by now. Betweenthe cancellation ofLegends 3, and the fact thatMega Man Legends 1and2can’t be released on the PlayStation Networkbecause Capcom no longer has the rights to the voice performances, there’s not a whole lot of light at the end of the tunnel.
But wait! Recently,Capcom surveyed fansand asked them some questions on their favorite IPs, and what they wanted to see more of. Unsurprisingly, re-releases forLegends 1and2were near the top of the list. So how does Capcom respond? Christian Svensson gives us the latest scoop:
The VO barriers exist for a release of PS1 code (which can’t be changed) on PSN. They do not exist if we were to port them to other platforms and replace the original VO (new development required, which is expensive). The question exists to gauge interest and only that.
So there you have it. If Capcom has a big pile of money one day, and deems it financially viable to re-record the performances, wemightget a re-release ofMega Man Legends 1and2. I don’t want to outright say there’s hope for an eventualMega Man Legends 3revival, but who knows — anything can happen if there’s money to be made.
As for me, I couldn’t wait for Capcom to sort it out. Considering Ihave a Quest coming upthat involvesLegends, I ended up picking upLegends,Legends 2, andThe Misadventures of Tron Bonnemyself this year. They’re…pretty expensive to say the least, so a re-release would bemostwelcome.
While the first twoLegendstitles aren’t my favoriteMega Mangames,Tron Bonneis something truly special — too bad it’s also one of the most difficult used games to find on the market. Figure it out, Capcom!
