News::A Mega Man Legends 3 8-bit fan game? Sure!


The campaign to resurrect Mega Man Legends 3 won't die, and I honestly hope it never does. The fans continue to surprise me with the myriad ways they demonstrate support, from producing a concept album to launching a replica of Roll and Tron's rescue rocket.


I guess the next logical step is to make a game.


At the Mega Rock Fan Fiesta, a Mega Man fan event held this past Saturday in Shibuya, Tokyo, the "Get Me Off the Moon" Facebook group announced an awesome new joint project with the group's Japanese equivalent, the Rockman DASH 3 Reboot Team. Since Capcom decided not to release the completed Mega Man Legends 3: Protoype Version on eShop, these two groups will simply remake it and release it online for free. Or rather I should say, they will demake it.


But this is not your typical fan production. They've actually got two former Capcom staffers to on board: Hideki Ishikawa and Makoto Tomozawa, character designer and composer for the Legends series, respectively. Ishikawa will create the game's box art, while Tomozawa will contribute a couple of songs to the soundtrack. That is... just... wow.
