Capcom explains why they chose Mega Man Legends 3 Project for 3DS rather than consoles

This information comes from Mega Man Legends 3 producer Tatsuya Kitabayashi (via a translator), who was asked why the game is coming to the 3DS and not consoles…

“The 3DS has a lot of interesting elements to it, new features out there. I think it’s something we wanted to try making a game for. And I know we have a lot of games coming out for the 3DS, but this is one we thought would be really cool on the 3DS, and that’s why we decided to put it on the 3DS.”

At E3, it definitely seemed like Capcom would be one of the 3DS’ strongest supporters. With that said, I don’t think a lot of people thought that Mega Man Legends 3 would end up on the handheld. I have a feeling that some fans would have preferred to see the title on consoles instead, but I’m personally just glad it’s happening at all.
