{{Main|Mega Man Legends}}
Beginning on the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] in 1997, a [[3D computer graphics|3D]] [[action game]] series called ''Mega Man Legends'' was created to take advantage of the console's advanced [[computer graphics|graphics]] hardware. The ''Legends'' series is set thousands of years in the future, where the world is covered by immense bodies of water, and humanity is extinct. In its place, Carbons, artificial humans, roam what was left of the world. The story follows Mega Man (Rock) Volnutt, a [[relic]] hunter called a "Digger" who scavenges various ruins throughout the world in search of refractor shards that can be mined and traded as currency. ''Mega Man Legends'' brings the gameplay into 3D and is an action-adventure game with third-person shooting role-playing elements.

The ''Legends'' series was left on a cliffhanger, with only two main games and a spin-off starring mainstay antagonist Tron Bonne before being discontinued. A continuation to the ''Legends'' series has become an oft-requested game among many Capcom and Mega Man fans. A [[Mega Man Legends 3|third game]] was once under development for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], but on July 17, 2011, Capcom canceled the project saying it did not meet certain requirements. This decision was met with criticism from fans and gaming news outlets.<ref>{{cite web |title=Revive MegaMan Legends 3 |website=[[Facebook]] |url=http://www.facebook.com/pages/Revive-MegaMan-Legends-3/139834286098268}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3 |website=[[Facebook]] |url=http://www.facebook.com/pages/100000-Strong-for-Bringing-Back-Mega-Man-Legends-3/149316248475958}}</ref>

Despite the many years since the last new release in the series, various characters from the ''Legends'' series consistently appear in Capcom cross-over games such as ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom (series)|Marvel vs. Capcom]]'', and the [[Servbot]] characters have become iconic within the Capcom community, making many cameo appearances in non-''Mega Man'' games, including ''[[Dead Rising (video game)|Dead Rising]]'' and as part of the outfit obtained via achievements in ''[[Lost Planet 2]]''.
