Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version has been delayed photo

Oh, poo.

The downloadable teaser game, which was supposed to launch along with the 3DS eShop on June 6, has been hit by the delay stick with quality concerns cited as the reason for the extra time in the oven. As of now, no new release date has been announced.

I ought to be more bummed, but as I've yet to get my hands on a 3DS, this doesn't affect me a great deal. Sucks for others who were waiting.

In the meantime, development continues onward with another devroom outreach to fans. If you remember from last month, Capcom asked the community to vote on Mega's redesign for the new game. Of the three picks, the two most requested were tweaked even further and reposted for a final round of voting.

As before, I've gotta go with the more human looking design on the right. I just can't stand looking at manties anymore! You have until next Thursday to hit up the site and vote on your favorite. While there, check out Roll's cute new design!

Oh no. How terrible. Hey Capcom, maybe this is a sign that you should abandon this and make Megaman X9 instead.

Jesus...at this point they just need to get something, anything, onto this console. The software support for the 3DS is retardedly lacking at the moment.

I'm sorry but E is just plain stupid. I mean honestly what is that thing on his butt? Design D doesn't look that much different from MML 1 or 2, but it just looks better than E.

Agreed with Scissors, pretty much. I don't get the appeal of E or its original in the least. I'd rather not stare at Mega Man's ass in tights mosey around for 15+ hours.

Well that's displeasing. I was planning to pick it up after the update. I guess I'll have to wait even longer to get my fix of Megaman Legends 3 goodness.

See I like D better as well. The man-panties are weird but without them he just looks naked.

Definitely going with D. I'm not sure what's wrong with the so-called "manties". . .those aren't articles of clothing, it's the cybernetic substitute for a human pelvis. Because, you know, Trigger's actually a cyborg.

Design D is the only design.

Although best idea would be to include both in-game and let you choose.

You sir are an Idiot.

MM3 IS going to come out and IS going to be good. In the meantime I'm going to spend 100 hours playing MM1 & 2.

It's a little more complicated than that. He DID grow from an infant state to a teenager, so his armor has to be just that: armor.

@Brian Green

Yes, only for 3DS.

I wouldn't mind mega man 64, mega man 5, 6, and 7, and megamanX 2&3 on the virtual console to hold me over :P

Maybe by the time it comes out, we'll have seen a single screenshot of oh, I don't know... MEGA MAN, perhaps?

Seriously, where hs he been? I don't want this red-haired guy.

@ Tony Ponce:

To be honest, I'm just assuming that Trigger is party cyborg. But it makes sense, given that he can remove his entire arm and attach a giant mechanical drill to it. Given that, it's probably safe to assume that some time in the past, he replaced his old human pelvis with a cybernetic one.

I mean, if that kind of technology was possible, I bet a lot of guys would replace their current pelvises with new ones. The allure of the upgrades you could potentially install would be mindboggling. And gross. But mindboggling.

Not to say that Trigger is THAT kind of guy. But he did apparently replace his arm to improve his performance as a digger. So you never know.

I dunno, MMX9 sounds pretty nice to me. Of course I'll take anything Megaman.

"As before, I've gotta go with the more human looking design on the right."

Which looks like utter shit and is inappropriate for Legends. I'm not playing this game if that piece of shit design wins.

well, that gives me more time to save up for a 3DS then. They best not cancel it, though, or I will be inconsolable, because I can't lose legends again! CAPCOM STOP TUGGING MY HEART STRINGS!

"He DID grow from an infant state to a teenager, so his armor has to be just that: armor. "

Except the developers already stated that in Legend's universe it's possible for people to replace and augment body parts, so it's not necessarily like he's actually wearing a suit of armor.

@maelstromZERO and ScrappyDoo

Let's not forget that until the end of the first game, Mega had no idea he wasn't just another "human." And it wasn't until well into the second game that he learned exactly who he was. If it was easy to tell he was some kind of biological robot, he would have discovered it himself years prior.

And I highly doubt a 14-year-old would replace his entire body with augmented parts.

I'd never take MMX9 over MML3. Thats just idiotic. Especially after being reminded of 7 and 8...1-5 was awesome enough though.

I'm actually relieved that the game has been delayed. There was no way it was going to get the attention it deserves, released the day before E3 begins.

If it had been released on June 6th, I wouldn't have been able to actually play it until the 12th, if not later, because of all the time sensitive E3 work I'll be doing. I think the same is true of most in the gaming press.

So good thinking, Capcom!
