Inafune deeply involved with Mighty No. 9, still has a burning desire to make Mega Man Legends 3
Coming from a USGamer interview with Keiji Inafune...
"I'm all-hands on this game, more than I should be. This is a game I really want to make, and I have a clear vision in my mind already. But it's almost like I shouldn't be this involved in one single game. The role I play in the company is the 'concepter.' I create an idea and I pass that on to the director and the team, to actually make the game. Occasionally I'll see if the direction is going the right way or not.
But on this game, I'm actually giving opinions or orders to the director about a single line or phrase. That's how much I want to make this game. It's very motivating to see the development, the progress we're making.
I know that the director actually hates me for this, but I can't help it. So far, we haven't seen any towels been thrown in the ring [by IntiCreates] yet. But we're not sure if that's going to happen yet."
Inafune also shared his very deep desire to make Mega Man Legends 3.
"If somebody asked, even right now, what's the game you want to create most? It's still Legends 3. I put so much effort into that game, so much passion into that game, but it didn't happen. It's always a regret in my mind. Even now…
We all know that's not going to happen, though, as long as Capcom holds the IP. But if they asked me to make that game, I could still gather most of the original team, even right now. Some of them have quit Capcom, some of them are still at Capcom, but I believe that team would be passionate enough to come back together and create that game. So…we'll see what's going to happen. You never know.
Let's say that, if we have all seven Dragon Balls right here, right now, and Shen Long comes up and says, 'What's your wish?' My wish would be, give me all the right tools, people, and environment to create Legends 3."
