    In today's episode, my journey through the Legends games comes to an end with a look at the final (?) entry. What will Volnutt and Roll get themselves into this time? What of the Bonnes? Oh, right, what about that whole plot dump from the last game? Data? Hello?

    From what I recall, part of the reason Mega Man 11 took so long was because nobody at Capcom wanted to do it. Or rather, they were too scared. They knew people wanted a Mega Man game, but they were afraid that if they screwed up, the fans would want their head on a silver platter. I can't remember who stepped up, but when they did, everyone make sure he played all other Mega Man games so he could understand what made Mega Man, well, Mega Man.
    So yeah, it was a fear of the public that caused the gap between 10 and 11.

    I never knew how much I needed to hear the Eva bit over the Legends 2 credits, but that fits remarkably well. Speaking of mecha, I just realized listening to this plot summary that there are a few similarities to the setup of Turn A Gundam.

    28:09 this is basically why I prefer the first game over the second, despite MML2 having so many improvements overall. The setting of 1 was fully realized feeling, with even the individual nameless npcs having their own little story arcs that progress as you go through the plot.
    I always bring up one random green dress lady in the City Hall area who locked herself on her balcony by mistake and is afraid of heights. By the end of the game, she’s taken up climbing as a hobby, and is enjoying the view from her roof. Kattleox is the high bar for a setting for me.

      @@PurpleRupees Absolutely, it is still a very good game. The core gameplay itself is much smoother, the bosses are a bit more interesting (circle strafing is still the god strat where it applies but there's a decent few fights and bosses where that's not the case.
      The dungeons are more varied and while I miss the atmosphere of the first game's ruins, the second's have a bit more meat to them and one exception aside it's a straight upgrade in game feel. The characters and writing are still charming, the set pieces more exciting, the cut scenes more engaging, and the prices of special weapons aside (PSP version is best if an option for fixing that but entirely reasonable for it not to be and not a deal breaker) the special weapons more interesting/varied.
      2 is nearly a straight upgrade over 1 in a lot of key areas, it's mostly the feel of 1's setting that I missed from it that makes me keep 1 as my favorite of the two- a very much subjective take that a good few fans disagree with.

      The bosses in 1 didn't make a big impression on me, aside from the Bonne's initial raid on the island and the final boss, oh and the one in the sub-city for its design (the fight itself was a bit dull as just fighting a bunch of mooks chasing it around).

    Mega Man Legends 3 was the reason was the reason I bought the Nintendo 3DS back when I was a kid, and seeing it get cancelled was so frustrating. The initial trailer for the Prototype Version said it would launch when the Nintendo 3DS eShop did, which ended up being in June 2011, but once it wasn't there I started to question what was going on. Then a month later, lo and behold the game was officially announced to be cancelled.
    I hope and pray a Nintendo gigaleak-style event gives us access to Legends 3's Prototype at some point.

      They have to do it eventually, since they're quickly running out of old games to resell. What I'd really like to see, though, is the Legends games given the same kind of amazing remake treatment they've been giving Resident Evil, so there'd be less of a learning curve to the controls and general gameplay that could very easily scare off newcomers and further doom the series to never be finished. It'd be more exciting and a better show of goodwill toward a criminally neglected fanbase than another Classic series game clearly made on a shoestring budget.

      @@DrSuperLuigiSeth1 not really. The weapon it makes, the Crusher, is a very powerful bomb like weapon. It has short range and does constant damage...however the bulk of it's damage comes from it sitting on something constantly damaging it. Once the bomb explodes on contact, it doesn't move and most enemies won't stay in it's hitbox, either moving away or getting knocked away, plus you need to get fairly close which puts you at risk. Still if you find a big target that doesn't move or get knocked away, it can shred...but those are very few and far between.

    Worst part is I have a very specific idea of what Legends 3 would have been. Like, I'm almost certain it is how it would have played out.
    The Legends 3 Prologue demo would have launched on 3DS. We'd play as the new protagonist, who many noticed looked a lot like a young Barrel. And, what do you know, he is! He somehow reverted as the results of walking in on some type of crazy Tron/Servbot experiment that was a part of the research to save Mega Man from the moon. But no one knows but him. For most of the game/demo, you play as Barrel who is just "acting as a good samaritan" helping Roll and Tron to find parts for the ship to go save Mega Man. At the end of the demo, they figure it out. And Barrel is set to man the ship to go save Mega Man along with Data.
    Legends 3, the full game, would start with players again as Barrel on Elysium. You would dreg through the same hallways you did at the end of 2, to find Mega Man, Yuna and Sera all in pods similar to what you saw on the Forbidden Island. As a safety measure, they have sealed themselves as they do not know how long they may be stranded, and they know they will be needed to save the world should they make it out of Elysium.
    Barrel and Data would work together and awaken them, and return to their friends and family on Earth.
    But in the process of waking them up, the system was also set to awaken ALL Mega Men. Yeah, we know it can't just be Trigger and Juno. There has to be more. And they will be our big villains in this game. Each of the major ruins has a Mega Man in them. There are... 8 Major ruins... a throwback to the classic series.
    Defeat the 8 Mega Men. Defeat the big bad guy. The world will then be truly safe.
    But who is the big bad guy? The Sigma Virus Reaverbot. A powerful Reaverbot that was infected with an ancient virus who has become sentient and hell bent on destruction of all non-reaver life.
    Throw in some Bonne shenanigans the whole journey. But more of them trying to be the heroes, rather than actively antagonizing Mega Man and Roll.
    Cut me my check, Capcom, I wrote the story for you. Shoot, take it for free, I just want Legends 3.

    As a result, it was relying *entirely* on audiences staying invested the whole way through. That was without a doubt a losing battle.

    I was just chilling here listening to the review until 16:04 happened, and I was just laughing so hard at it cause of how true it was, I never watched Evangelion or that bit but at first listen made me laughed so hard I forgot I was eating and nearly choked, great review as always, also I'm expecting MMBN reviews later in the future with the Legacy Collection.

    Definitely agreed with what you said on both games at the end. I love legends 2 and it has a lot of qualities that I wish were in the first game but I can't say I like it more than that first game cause on top of everything else you mentioned I also liked how interconnected all the ruins were in 1 and how as the game progresses you can practically go through every single part of the ruins and through every sub gate if you wanted to. None of the dungeons outstayed their welcome like this game does too and on a similar note, dying doesn't have as big of a consequence as it does here should it happen.

    I've never agreed with Johnny more than when he got right up to his mic and told us we better buy a hypothetical Legends Collection if we know what's good for us.
    Edit: Pfftttt, Johnny saying to get it 3 times and his editor only being mostly sure he's joking is great. It's great seeing John be passionate about a game, so much so that he's basically telling his viewers what they need to do to revive the series.

    It's crazy that Tron Bonne was in just 3 games and it's one of the fan favorite Megaman characters, but we can't get Capcom to make another one of these.

    @tountoes1677 Před rokem

    I'm so happy to see the Legend games get the attention they deserve. They were peak childhood games for me, and I love them dearly. Really glad you enjoyed the ride Johnny, to me they are such underrated gems that aged surprisingly well. And I absolutely agree with how 2 is not better than 1, they are actually neck and neck, but offering different approaches in their presentation. While Legends 1 has a better let's say "hub" area, arguably one of my favorites in any game, Legends 2 amps up the action and delivers great dungeons and mission sequences. Looking back I believe 1 might be the most memorable due to its unique, self-contained structure and the sheer charm and levity it provides, but both games are so incredibly *fun*.

  • @keatonkitsune4064

    This is one of my favorite games of all time. It's so much better than the first Legends game. Capcom is my favorite developer, but the way they handled Legends 3 is truly heartbreaking. I'm glad they have been knocking it out of the park & trying to please their fans as of late. Gives me some hope they will someday, actually finish & release Legends 3.

    I'm glad you had such a fun time with Legends Johnny, they are so underrated and I hope Capcom will at last deliver with 3, though even getting another X game seems like a long shot as of late. I don't blame you for needing time for Megaman Battle Network, I'm a big fan of those games but they are not short games to get through lol. Till then enjoy the RE4 remake.

    In a sense, when you really think about it, Dr Light's dream of Robots and Humans living together in harmony came true within the Legends era. Granted, the original Humans have went extinct but they live on as the artificial Carbon ones, which can live as ordinary people and attach robotic parts to them. Thomas laid the groundwork and the Master succeed in making it a reality.

    The interesting thing is that this game not only has the Karma meter but also a Roll likeabulity meter.
    So if you are nice to her she will write on her diary about Mega Man in an increasingly good way, and gives some weapon developement price drops.
    But if you are mean to her in certain moments not only her diary entries are increasingly worried about you becoming an asshole but she will also reach a point in wich she's depressed and ask you to go back to the nice guy you used to be. And of course the developement prices increase.

    Mega Man Legends 3 is the Mega Man equivalent of Half-Life 3, being a theoretical third entry in a beloved series that'll never exist because their creators found success elsewhere and want nothing to do with tying up loose ends.
    I'm still mad at Capcom for cancelling Legends 3 and when the CEO proclaimed in that short video on Twitter "Capcom is back!!", I immediately thought "Capcom is back my ass, where's Legends 3?"
