I hope this will somehow convince Capcom to get back to work on Mega Man Legends 3. I'm noticing they're going the same route as Square by releasing mostly games that are popular enough to ensure good sales. We have to speak up and reclaim our childhood games!
I just love some trolls feel they have to tell us no. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you don't like our movement, or never wanted Legends 3 in the first place, don't comment. It only makes you look like a selfish a-hole. "Capcom shouldn't make Legends 3 because I don't care about it" Ah bugger off. We didn't listen then and we won't listen now.
In any case, thanks for caring Distructoid. I wish you had a button that allows Facebook commenters like me remove older comments. Those links did not turn out well. We're now sending in postcards to Capcom, so if anybody's interested you can join in too. Only if you want legends 3 though. Not if you don't.

Crap! Facebook links still won't work on Distructoid. Well, if anybody's interested you could just copy those facebook links (except for the brackets and url=) and find out through there. I'm so sorry it all just jumbles up.
It amazes me how inconsiderate Capcom has become. The same thing happened when Mega Man 7 wasn't going to be released in the US, but because of fan interested they jumped right on it's localization. Now we have to send postcards to the President of Capcom just to get a downloadable playable demo. Freedom isn't free I guess, but this so reminds me of that video "Nintendo, Why won't you let me give you my money?"
To the folks saying it took a long time to get to 100,000:
You're wrong. Facebook didn't allow advertising for a long time. When advertising was allowed on the 22, the number was only about 79,000. In 8 months, purely through word of mouth, the movement found nearly 80,000 fans. In *2 DAYS*, it found over 20,000. Advertising mattered. And many of the people in this campaign have already put money into it. A lot of people bought the 3Ds for the Ambassador program so they could get a few free games AND play MML3 when it came out. Then it was canceled.
But I'd love to see anyone else here get over 25,000 likes in 2 days. Or even 80,000 in 8 months.

Funny? More like consistent. I'm sick of gamers treating their favorite game as something more special than the rest and going on and on beating a dead horse after they don't get their way long after the issue should have been put to rest. Entitlement everywhere, whether it's Mass Effect 3's ending or MML's cancellation. It's all stupid.

at the risk of sounding somewhat blunt ..... FUCK CAPCOM
best thing that could happen to MML would be if Capcom went bankrupt and was forced to sell the IP to some other developer.

@flintmech "Entitlement everywhere, whether it's Mass Effect 3's ending or MML's cancellation. It's all stupid." Not it this case the fans work hard on this game and they were promised that the completed prototype would gauge the game continuation. They(capcom) did not live up to their end of the bargain after the had their fans go above and beyond the call of duty. this is not business as usual so don't treat it as such. This is not Entitlement . capcom even sated that this event has left their fan disenfranchised.

I get free DLC for Mass Effect 3, because people didn't let up.
Frankly, I think it's admirable that people didn't stop discussing the game after the first week. Look at Fez -- 5 years in development, huge first week buzz, and now barely anyone is talking about it -- that's a shame. Plus, if people got sick of the ME3 talk, they could always not click on the articles for it. I'm glad that for once, a game lived past the first week of release in the hearts and minds of people everywhere -- this industry has become such a fleeting enterprise sometimes with over five platforms and five to ten games releasing every single week. I call it "passion".

When you start thinking that simply asking companies for the truth, or not to lie depending on how you would want to word it, is "entitled" you have something wrong with your perspective on businesses, the industry, and pretty much in general I would say.

@chris carter
well you cant really expect the fanbase to do the advertising for them. I mean what else can you do but play it and say "yeah, that was fun"?
I admire the 100,000 Strong's intentions, but 100,000 Likes doesnt translate into 100,000 sales and that's most likely how Capcom will view this. Also keep in mind, no one here has actually played MML3...it could be really crappy. There has to be some sort of loss for Capcom if they release the tech-demo...a company cant just upload something onto the eShop willy-nilly without some sort of expense...right?

@MegaSeveN
Yeah, they should have just released that prototype demo regardless of how "good" they thought it was. I mean they released Street Fighter x Tekken and don't seem very embarrassed about IT.
@KingSigy
Fair enough, at least you have realistic expectaions!
Really Keiji Inafune should just do what Alan Moore did when he couldn't use characters like Blue Beetle and The Question in Watchmen: use brand-new characters inspired by the originals and hire the MML3 team to make a stand-alone game. That could tie up the loose ends left in the previous franchise in a way, as well as give a fresh start to a new game that doesn't have to worry about if it's a Mega Man game or not. A spiritual Successor if you will.The real fans would appreciate it, and screw the ones that don't like it! Now kickstart the damn thing! I know I would glady pay to get it made, and pay again to play it!

@bigdonkey1 First off compared to Capcom's numbers, this little fan group pulled in way more. Second Facebook isn't used very much in a lot of other places around the world, so the "worldwide" part of your claim is faulty.
Using "100,000 likes =/= 100,000 sales" as an argument for why GMOTM is pointless misses at least half the point of why the demo never even got released: Capcom said "Fuck it" and backed out. I don't think it's the fans' fault that they didn't get excited enough when Capcom's excitement for the game seems even more tepid and hesitant.
