According to Joystiq, along with the launch of the 3DS' eShop market, Capcom will release a free prototype of Mega Man Legends 3 that includes the first stage or so of the game, as well as a debug mode upon completion. Sounds pretty neat, huh? Well, now you have another reason to download the demo: If enough people do not download it, MML3 will not be made. Yeah, you heard that right. Capcom stated that "The heat and excitement surrounding this downloadable title would determine whether or not the full game could be green-lit. If hype is strong, the full title will be a go. If not, it's a no-go."
Sounds pretty serious, so every Racketeer with a 3DS should download the demo when it comes out in late May, even if you don't like Mega Man. It won't cost you anything, and you don't even have to play it if you don't want to. Just please download it, for the sake of the rest of us.
