With all the E3 hullabaloo last week, I totally missed that theMega Man Legends 3devs had settled on a final design for our boy in blue! It’s good to know that even though the game’s future is still a mystery (What? No playablePrototype Versionon the show floor?), development is still barreling along. Reminds me of howMega Man 2was but a pet project following the lukewarm response to the original, barely allowed by the Capcom heads. And we all know howthatstory turned out!
Charged with renewed optimism, let’s take a gander at Mega’s suit. As you may recall, thelast roundof revisions featured a detailed armor design and a more human design. I was really rooting for the “sans manties” look, but the detailed suit took the crown in both Japan and the US. Art director Yuji Ishihara then took the winner and tweaked it a bit further to get what we have here.
Compared to before, Mega’s armor plating has been beefed up a bit and he’s been given an overall height boost. Also, the backpack will be able to display health and status effects,Dead Space-style! Although, why the angry eyes, Rock? Been hanging out with Kirby much?
What do you think of this design? Love it? Hate it? Indifferent?
