An inventory for a challenge titled “MEGA MAN LEGENDS – NEW MEDIA” has been noticed on ACTRA Toronto, a Canadian commerce union that represents performers in movie, tv, and video video games. The itemizing is comparatively sparse on particulars, but it surely’s no stretch of the creativeness to presume it’s for a Mega Man Legends remaster or remake.
As reported by Gematsu, Mega Man followers noticed the itemizing on ACTRA Toronto’s web site final evening. Nonetheless, within the house of the final couple of hours, the Mega Man Legends itemizing has mysteriously disappeared. Fortunately, the entire data that has since been scrubbed was captured in a screenshot posted to r/Megaman.
That being stated, there wasn’t something juicy within the itemizing itself—though the truth that it was eliminated so quickly after being reported by Gematsu does suggest that somebody requested for it to be taken down. Additionally value noting is that Capcom is clearly conscious of Mega Man’s upcoming fortieth anniversary in 2027, as the discharge of Mega Man: Twin Override coincides with the Blue Bomber’s birthday.
The truth that the itemizing appeared on ACTRA Toronto is fairly fascinating in itself, nonetheless, as the unique English dub of Mega Man Legends was recorded in Ontario, Canada. Now, there’s an opportunity that, if that is certainly a Mega Man Legends remaster, Capcom needed to redub the sport via ACTRA for union-related causes. Or probably they simply need to seize the spirit of the unique dub by rehiring the unique voice actors.
Nonetheless, there’s in all probability a extra simple purpose: redubbing Mega Man Legends is type of a necessity, as Robert Norman Smith, who voiced Teisel Bonne in each Mega Man Legends and Mega Man Legends 2, took his personal life in 2020 after being charged with distributing and possessing CSAM. This was the second time Smith was charged with the crime, having beforehand served a 20-month jail sentence after being sentenced in 2008.
So, yeah—that man’s voice strains positively should be rerecorded on the very least. Hopefully the opposite voice actors from the unique recreation can return, although, because the English dub of Mega Man Legends was nice.
