Waiting for Legends 3: A Tribute

My entry to the Mega Man Legends Station Ten Years of Waiting Tribute Contest. The prompt? Sum up the last ten years of waiting for Mega Man Legends 3 however you see fit. And I did what I do best...pretend to be Weird Al using some showtunes and set it all to a shoddily-"animated" music video.




To everyone who has requested an MP3 of this...
Here's the clean version--I tried to soften the beeps up a little, but sound design isn't exactly my forte, so lemme know how it turned out: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZTEN8RO

And here's the original uncut version, without the bleeps (yes, there is gratuitious swearing. XD): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RJ4ZF1RT

Lyrics:
(2001)
Capcom's making an announcement!
Hey, it might be Legends 3!
Trigger's stranded on Elysium,
Tron and Roll can't get him free.
They have to make a sequel, cause that's how Capcom goes,
And in Japan, a year's gone by...
A YEAR'S gone by?

Uh-oh.

The US sales were lousy? I don't remember this part!
IT PUT THEM IN THE RED?! Skip ahead, skip ahead...

But in the end they'll have to get him off the moon.
They just can't leave us hanging!
They'll have to end it soon!
So I know it's our year
Cause there are rules and there are strictures.
I believe the message boards I visit late at night!
I'll hang tight, cause the screenshots
Will look just like these pictures!
I won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number...ninety-three!
I know it's today!
I know it's today!

(2007)
Someone made a post on 1-up.
HOLY CRAP, IT'S LEGENDS 3!
Inafune needs some money.
Fifteen mil's a hefty fee.

Blah, blah, blah, Lost Planet Engine,
Boring, boring, DS Screen.
Filler, filler, been there, read that,
Zombie servbots on the scene.
Skip ahead, skip ahead...

Well, Keiji Inafune wants to make the game.
He just can't get the funding...
Cause Capcom's being lame!

So I know it's our year,
And the graphics will be shining!
As perfect as the epic plot and brilliant score!
And, what's more,
When it gets here,
My preorder will be binding!
About time it hits our Gamestop shelves!
Day number two thousand three hundred...and twelve!
I know it's today!
They'll post it todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

(2010)
...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Pick a sequel made this decade!
You'd think we'd have Legends 3!
Not exactly. I'm still WAITING.
They must like to mess with me.
Legends 3 had better get here,
We're all getting old and fat!
No one needs this 'Star Force' @#$%...

...Whoops. Did I say that?

@#$% the crossovers and fighters,
@#$% the crappy sales,
@#$% the cameos and tributes,
@#$% the last ten years of fail!
@#$% the teasers!
Grow a backbone!
Port that thing on Asian cell phones!
We've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting
AND WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIITIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I know it's our year,
Though I seem a bit bipolar.
And I'm a potty mouth as well.
Hope you don't care,
Cause I swear, when it gets here
And I'm gripping that controller...
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number...

Are you there, Capcom?
It's me. Your fanbase.
I swear, seriously, I would sell my soul for this game and kill puppies, and I know I am not the only one!

Cause I know it's our year!
Cause there are rules and there are strictures!
I believe the message board I'm running late at night!
I'll hang tight.
THIS GAME NEEDS TO HAPPEN,
And look just like these pictures!
And PLEASE say you'll bring it overseas!
Day number...

(Oh god. How long's it really been?
Ugh, It's got to have been...)
Day number, uh, three thousand five hundred and...uh...forty three! The original song was "I Know It's Today" from Shrek the Musical, credit to AngelsBwayKaraokes for the backing track.

Hey Ms. Dashe, is that how you really look like in the animation?

[ThatDasheKid]

@ZynkOxhyde Yes.

[daichipkmnprodutions]

With the whole tease thing

[ThatDasheKid]

@daichipkmnprodutions Yeah, teasing your fans is a huge faux pas. Game companies should really stop doing that.

[TehNotorious01]

anyone notice the animation gets better as she gets older ??

[CodenameSailorEarth2]

You must do another one. :D

[MegaAuraStar]

Pfft. You think YOU'VE been waiting long? Guess who's still waiting for Kirby Tilt and Tumble 2?

[speedstriker]

While I can certainly sympathize with all of your sentiments, I can't help but feel a little bitter knowing that nothing short of a miracle can realize our 10+ years dream.

[ryuudrako86]

i sold my original DS with the original prime hunters demo, the first day the ds hit american shelves...for $25 dollars no less...bought a 3ds and waited...eshop got delayed again and again...eshop finally hits...no prototype...wait for weeks, then months...finally get word about it; its cancelled. all i get to compensate me for selling what i believed to be something very few people had, and wasting $250 was the ambassador program, which gave me the worst 20 nintendo games i ever played..

[OldClassicGamer]

I HATE Capcom

[IceLancemen]

Assuming this video was uploaded on "day 3543", today marks day 4000 without legends 3. While this series doesn't mean anything to me personally, it's really sad what capcom is doing to their fans. Do you think there is still any hope for this game(im already part of the 100k strong)? Heres to hoping the legend won't die.

[SycrosD4]

I forgot how good your singing voice is, Dashe.

[ThatDasheKid]
