Mega Man Legends 3, known as Rockman DASH 3 (ロックマンDASH 3 Rokkuman Dasshu Surī?) in Japan, was a video game set to be the sequel to Mega Man Legends 2 and was going to be the fourth game in the Mega Man Legends series. It was announced for the Nintendo 3DS on September 29, 2010, during a Nintendo press conference for the 3DS.
In a May 2007 interview with 1UP.com, Keiji Inafune expressed that his team were interested in developing Mega Man Legends 3 and had considered using the Dead Rising/ Lost Planet engine. In September 2007, Keiji Inafune commented that he was asked by several fans if Mega Man Legends 3 would be made; although Inafune expressed a desire to make such a game, he stated that he could not do it at that time. Detailed information about the game was announced at the New York Comic Con in October 2010. On July 18, 2011, Capcom officially announced the game had been cancelled. As a sequel to Mega Man Legends 2, the game would have introduced two characters, Aero and Barret, joining with returning ones to rescue the protagonist Mega Man Volnutt from the Elysium. While Capcom was developing the game, several aspects from the game such as the new heroine Aero, a mech and Mega Man's design were chosen by fans as Capcom invited fans to send their designs in their official Mega Man Legends 3 website, but the website has been cancelled.
Although Inafune left Capcom in November 2010, the team working for Mega Man Legends 3 stated that the game would continue development. Capcom intended to release Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version in 2011 for the 3DS eShop, featuring 10 missions, and Barrett as a playable character. The Prototype Version was going to act as a prologue to the forthcoming main game.
On July 18, 2011, it was announced that production on Mega Man Legends 3 was being cancelled, and that neither a full game, nor Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version would be released, and that there were currently no plans to resume production. According to the website GamesRadar, the only journalist to play either version was Chris Hoffman of Nintendo Power magazine. Hoffman proceeded with an interview with the site.
