Keiji Inafune has delivered a resignation letter to Capcom and it'll be effective at the end of November.
Capcom took around 2 weeks to restructure themselves but they seem fine now and claim that "Mr. Inafune's resignation will not have an effect on our business operations."
Inafune had already stated some time ago that he "hated his job and wanted to retire early and take it easy."
Also this obviously means that Inafune is no longer a part of the Legends 3 project.
How do you feel?

Eh. Sooner or later, it was gonna happen. "Let's see how it plays out from here on" is all I can say. They better not cancel L3 though.

Before, I classified all still-developing Megaman games as "OK until proven Sh**/awesome." Now that Inafune's gone, they're Sh** until proven otherwise. Yes, even Legends 3.

So your saying X6, X7, Command Mission, Starforce, BN, and ZX are Sh**? If he did anything in those games at all, it was work on the story. The rest by by different teams. In truth, I don't care. I find it annoying that he ragequits right after he loses the Legends 3 female contest that he loses. With him gone though the stupid MM2 craze will go away. Mm2 was okay, but dear god remaking it 4000 times is not the way to go. |

Um it had nothing to do with it. There were articles before this was going to happen stating Keiji was getting fed up before hand and it has nothing to do with said contest either. I can agree though that MM2 will get a break after being remade a ton of times. I don't know... This just seems to be a bad time to really put up anything else after hearing the news yesterday.
As for Legends 3 and Megaman universe and I guess the online rockman will see what will happen though a lot fans are disapointed and heavily in chaos on all the other boards I've seen and it seems this board is the only one who finds this as meh it was bound to happen sooner or later ,but the hysteria elsewhere seems out of place a bit overboard somewhat.
That's what I've seen of course ,but I am also a bit like what just happened kind of deal and I feel Megaman will not be the same with out Keiji being there or not depending on the megaman game in question.

I guess it may be good for you Megaman Legends 3 fans, because he HATED his job as stated, so I guess he was "forced" to make a story that will probably be bad. They should give ME the job, i can make the last boss a big robot-eating pancake

The other three I like, though I'm still mad at ZX Advent for essentially forgetting there was a ZX game before it until the halfway point and then shoe-horning continuity into it. And I always figured all the aping of Mega Man 2 was one of those safe, designed-by-committee corporate choices. I doubt they'll get it rid of it at this point, anyway, since as far as I can tell the fandom at large has approved. Sigh. I wish games didn't cost ginormous forktons of money to produce so studios wouldn't be so scared to try new stuff. Oh well, at least we have the indie scene. |

Capcom in a Q&A session:
“We have been thinking about radical reforms in our are&D operations in response to the rapid changes taking place in our markets,”
“As we were under preparation for executing these structural reforms, Mr. Inafune stated that he wants to continue working as an independent creator. Capcom accepted this request, which led to the announcement of his resignation.”
