I did a video last night about this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XaKjIt6eo8), and it's been a while in the making. I've thought about this for a while now, and it has been bugging me for that long. See, when I play a video game, when I watch a movie or TV show, I get invested in it. And I want a good ending to the product that I feel satisfied with. I want to have that feeling of watching something, or playing something epic. And with my list, I didn't get that type of ending.
Family Matters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Matters) was a sitcom that starred the Winslow Family, and it was a spin-off of the show Perfect Strangers. During the 1st season, we're introduced to this rather clumsy individual who went by the name of Steve Urkel, who would go on to become a fan favorite and the main focus of the TV show. The show was 9 seasons long, and I remember watching them all when I was a kid. I saw Steve Urkel go through so much pain and struggle to get the girl of his dreams, Laura Winslow. In the final season, he finally gets the girl. He finally wins, and it's a great moment--one of my favorite moments of the entire 9 seasons. Then in the final episode, they kiss, and...that's it. It's not a bad ending, but it's not the ending that I would have wanted for them and for the show as a whole. As a fan, I would have liked to see them get married. Maybe have kids in the future. I would want them to make an hour-long episode in which it's a wedding and also a reunion of sorts.
Spider-Man Unlimited (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_Unlimited) was a series that I never watched as a kid, which is weird since I loved Spider-Man back then, and I even watched the cartoon that came before it, and I also played the games. I watched it on Netflix in 2011, and it started off really good. Mary Jane Watson came back somehow. Spider-Man ends up going to counter-earth to help John Jameson. The show unfortunately ended on a cliff-hanger. What makes things worse is that the show was getting really good. I would have liked to see our hero save the day and then go back to Earth to spend more time with Mary Jane Watson.
Last but not least, we have Mega Man Legends 3. I talked about this one in one of my earlier blogs, and I know it's a touchy subject of sorts because I know that the fans, myself included, really want the third installment in the trilogy. Mega Man Legends 2 was the only one that I played, and I liked it a lot. I would love to have the sequel. That way, not only can we play a great game, but we can also get the conclusion to the story--as the ending left room for said sequel. I'm hoping that Capcom will end up releasing the 3rd game down the road.

Mega Man Legends 3? Mega Man, Capcom
I wanted to talk about the subject. It's been on my mind for a while, and I also wanted to be careful about it, and that's why I put the question mark at the end of it. See, I don't want anyone thinking that there is a confirmation of any kind. I won't poke the bear, if you will, because I know that this is the sequel so many people want. I'm one of those people, and I'm proud to say that.
The phrase "Mega Man Legends 3" seems to be both good and bad. The good being that if it ever does get made, it'll be the sequel that so many people have been waiting for, and it'll be even more satisfying to get because of the long wait. It will also be the sequel to a game that, in my honest opinion, highly deserves it. After all, Mega Man Legends 2 left us off on a cliff-hanger. If anything, I feel a sequel would be needed. The story needs to be finished. And as a huge fan of Mega Man, I would love nothing more than to have another game with the Blue Bomber's face on it.
As for the bad, well...the cancellation of this sequel, or even the prototype for that matter, has left a lot of people disappointed, and rightfully so. I'm really disappointed in the cancellation of it, and it's because I really enjoyed Mega Man Legends 2, and I would love nothing more than to get that highly anticipated sequel. And in all honesty, I want the story to be finished.
Speaking of Mega Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man), I'm really glad that he's getting the love that I feel he deserves. It is without a doubt one of the best franchises that Capcom has, and it has been proven to be financially successful. It's because the games are good and offer the fans something fun and new. I mean, I remember the first time I played Mega Man X. That game is entirely different from the classic series. The X series has new characters, new enemies including the bosses (now called Mavericks), armor upgrades, and new abilities such as wall-climbing. Then you have games like Mega Man Legends and Mega Man Battle Network that are completely different from each other and all the other games, which is great! It gives much needed variety to the franchise. That, and they're really fun games.
Mega Man has come an awful long way since the beginning on the NES.
I remember being a big fan of Capcom when I was a kid. I loved playing the games that they were churning out back in the 90s: Mega Man 7, Mega Man X, Final Fight, Final Fight 3, Knights of the Round, Street Fighter 2 (and the many upon many different versions that came after), Street Fighter Alpha 2, the arcade version of X-Men vs Street Fighter, and Marvel Super Heroes (both versions). They had something that I like, and that being variety. They had beat 'em ups, fighters, among other things. Their games were so much fun, and I liked what they were doing.
They seem to be going back to doing other games such as Strider and Duck Tales, which is great to hear. I'm hoping that they'll be making more Mega Man games--namely Mega Man Legends 3.
