Capcom has canceled another Mega Man title this year and this time is Mega man Legends 3 for the 3DS.

Mega Man Universe which was to be the first Mega Man MMO was canceled early this year and now Capcom has pulled the plug on this new title that was suppose to come out for the Nintendo 3DS. Capcom posted their apology for canceling the game:

We’d like to thank you for your ongoing loyal support of Mega Man Legends 3. Today, however, we must regrettably announce the discontinuation of this project.

Unfortunately it was not felt that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project met the required criteria, and it is with regret that we must announce that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project has been cancelled, meaning that Capcom will not be releasing the Prototype or the full game. Additionally, updates of the Mega Man Legends Developer Room will cease as of today, though the North American Developer Room and its forums will remain open indefinitely.

Capcom also denied that Keiji Inafune’s departure from the company has anything to do with the decision to cancel Mega Man Legends 3.

The cancellation of the MML3 project is in no way related to Inafune-san leaving the company.

This will definitely hurt Mega Man fans, since they had been waiting for a new title for a really long time and every time their hopes are up they are eventually crushed by Capcom in a few months.
