See the full story here / http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/29/keiji-inafune-leaves-capcom /.

I know Keiji has been making pretty dour comments about game development in Japan but geez ... I sure wasn't expecting this. With every Mega Man game, he has a hand in it somehow so I am wondering what is to be the future of the Mega Man franchise.

What do you guys think?

First reaction was "Whoa, this is really really weird". Because it is. It's just strange.

Second is that he surely won't leave game development. He'll get back in on it.

Right?

...Right?

... okay, I haven't posted anything for a good month or so, but I gotta say... what? I mean, by God, really? I know he has being criticizing the Japanese gaming industry and all, but I wouldn't have guess that he'd leave his job. (Granted, that's probably not the only reason he left. There are probably others that other people will com up with.)

Big question that me and a friend of mine have: What does this mean for Legends 3? We're hoping that Capcom will go on with it anyways, but... well, this doesn't look good. o_o;

They've stated that it and other Capcom properties will continue as normal. It's not like Inafune makes the games single-handedly. Razz

He's been saying for a while that he hates his job. Guess he meant it.

Oh boy. ...Hopefully, these won't end up like Sonic games. But they say Legends 3 will still go on. Because it better. Or else they'll get a riot.

@Saito-kun: Oh! Okay. ^^; Heh, I forget that, in the end, stuff like video games belong to companies and groups, not individuals. ^^;

Anyways, good luck to Inafune on whatever he decides to do now. Legends 3 is going to go on without him, so eh... at least he got to leave the job he hated. :/

He hated how it worked. I think he may like the job if it's done in a different way.

I'm scared to see it without Inafune considering what we got with X6 & X7, but then again that was years ago......still I feel like after Universe & Legends 3 they will put the series on a backburner.

Megaman is one of Capcom's cash cows. They won't kill it.

To be completely honest, though I'd rather he didn't hate his job and I'd rather he didn't leave, I'm kind of interested in what direction the series will take. If a new one at all, because he may not have been all that integral to what made Megaman Megaman.

Yeah well, the same-ness of how the industry works sometimes might make almost anyone not like it. It may be worse in the US but I just don't know much about Japan's game industry.

*is stating the obvious*

I think we'll see Inafune back in the game-making game. I'm excited to see what he does, actually.

Oh dude, I want these in my iTunes. Is there a place to download them or do I have to crack out the youtube downloader?

EDIT: Oh, is it from an OST CD? Didn't realize there was one.

Yup!
