** Also, in ''Legends 2'', Tron Bonne is left [[ClothingDamage naked when her clothes burn off]] when the robot she was piloting explodes after a fight with Mega Man.

* On September 29, 2010, Capcom Europe [[http://www.themmnetwork.com/2010/09/29/mega-man-legends-3-announced-for-nintendo-3ds/ confirmed]] ''Legends 3'' as a Nintendo3DS title almost 10 years after the release of ''Legends 2''... Unfortunately, On July 18, 2011, Capcom announced that, due to it not meeting required criteria, the project had been [[http://www.capcom-unity.com/devroom/blog/2011/07/18/a_message_from_capcom cancelled,]] with the SuspiciouslySpecificDenial that it had nothing to do with sacking KeijiInafune. What made it worse was that Inafune even [[http://t.co/FTqmlOBW offered help to finish the game, yet Capcom refused.]] Fans were not amused.

Unlike the other games in the series, ''Legends'' is more of an adventure game with loads of exploration and character interaction, as opposed to the hardcore side-scrolling shooters the other games are. In aesthetic and themes, it's very obviously influenced by HayaoMiyazaki films, specifically ''CastleInTheSky''. In fact, the Reavers, the ancient robots found in the ruins of the game, are quite obvious [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to the robots in ''CastleInTheSky''. Likewise, the archetypes of an adventurous boy, a strong female and lost civilizations are very much present as well.

* ''Legends 1'' is about Volnutt and the Casketts fighting to keep the Bonnes from destroying an island town to steal an ancient treasure buried there, while uncovering the secret behind a centennial catastrophe about to befall it. This game was rereleased on the {{Nintendo 64}} under the name ''Mega Man 64''.

* BagOfSpilling: An optional dialogue box in the opening cutscene of ''Legends 2'' can have Volnutt asking "What happened to my weapons?" I.e the special weapons and parts he would have obtained in the first game. [[RestartAtLevelOne Roll admits that cash was tight and that she needed to sell them to make ends meet.]]

* BreakoutCharacter: Tron, who went from being one of the antagonists to having her own spinoff game and being featured in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', ''[[MarvelvsCapcom3 3: Fate of Two Worlds]]'', and ''ProjectXZone''. She's made more appearances than ''Trigger'' has.

Despite the small amount of games, characters from this series have made more appearances in CapcomVsWhatever titles than all the other series combined.

* EmptyRoomPsych: the power plant in the first game.

* PolygonCeiling: The third-person action-RPG nature of the game, along with camera control issues.

* TankControls: Mega Man can turn while moving, but only barely, which puts him two generations ahead of the ''ResidentEvil'' games on the same console. But he still has trouble with free movement.

* AbridgedSeries: For both ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo1Y6KTHDt4 Legends]]'' and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbFQadB5eBE Legends 2]]''

* Chekhov's Gunman: ''Data'' of all people. He starts the series as a little mechanical monkey who can save your progress, restore your life/weapon energy, and claims to have known you for a while, but for the longest time has no other significance in the plot. He becomes a ''huge'' part of the story starting at the end of the first game.

** And then the Bonnes save Mega Man from Juno. Killing off an entire island of people is too far for them.
** The Bonnes as villains have always been [[LovableRogue thieves]], not [[CompleteMonster murderers]].

** And simularly to the ''Legends 1'' example above, [[spoiler:if your train is destroyed in the Calinca train battle]].

* BreakoutCharacter: Tron, who went from being one of the antagonists to having her own spinoff game and being featured in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', ''[[MarvelvsCapcom3 3: Fate of Two Worlds]]'', and ''ProjectXZone''. She's made more than ''Trigger'' has.

--->'''Question:''' What was the name of the first album released by ''Hewey Lewis and the News''?

*** Except [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that case since [[spoiler:when you reach the final boss chamber, Sera reveals she ''could'' have activated the Carbon Reinitialization Program at any time. However, she decided to wait for Mega Man Trigger to show up because she wanted to personally defeat him first, believing this would resolve her feelings of jealousy over the Master's favoratism towards him.]]
