Legends 3 didn't happen, so we'll never know for sure if Megaman ever made it home. And that makes me unspeakably sad.
Basically the last game in this particular spinoff ended with Megaman stuck on this dead space colony thing. There was talk of a sequel for years (first estimate was sequel by 2007). Most people have up hope before then, though. Finally in like 2010 or 2011 info was released on Legends 3 being developed for 3DS.
Then Capcom pulled the plug on the project (I assume over the Megaman copywrite issues that happened awhile back. I might be wrong, it's too upsetting to me to bother researching it so that's just an educated guess).
Feels bad, man.
I'm actually sort of grateful I didn't hear about it until maybe like 3-5 days before the game was scrapped. It would have been a lot worse if it had time to sink in as something that was real.
Sorry for dumping all that on you, I didn't realize it'd be that much info. :S
Considering that they were planning on making another, you can then assume that /something/ else was going to happen. His staying stuck on the dead colony seems unlikely to me as I am not sure how that would make a good game. So it may be safe to assume he at least gets off that planet and has some adventure somewhere else.
Yeah it was pretty heavily implied that things turned out okay in the end. :3
But there's that part of me (maybe the same part that used to write fanfiction) that occasionally screams "WHAT IF?!"
Yea... Yea I know. Considering previous transformers tropes I can be fairly sure that the version of Starscream that I like ended up as a wandering ghost again, thus not destroyed...thus I can work with that in my own fan-fiction. But every now and then, its like a flashback and I am like WHAT IF he really is gone. And I am screwed up for a moment until I can get a grip.

I don't know the Megaman universe/story to know the details of what is going on but I feel like this is something that would make me sad also, if I did.
