Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version will be an eShop launch title, according to the Capcom Unity blog.
The game, a demo of the forthcoming Mega Man Legends 3, will star Barrett, a new character who leads a sky biker gang. It will feature a sample of the game's missions, and once you finish it, you'll be able to explore unfinished areas of the full game and use a debug menu to check out other moves and abilities.
Prototype Version is the next stage in Capcom's fan-focused development process for Mega Man Legends 3. Developers directly interact with members of the community to get ideas from fans, as well as show off the inner workings of game development.
No price was offered for western markets, but Mega Man 3: Prototype Version will launch on the Japanese eShop for ¥300 ($2.45).
Seems like a good way for interested people to help fund a game they want to play.I think its a clever way to get customer feed bacn and what BnM said... I agree you should get something from having this.
Hope you get a discount, a DLC voucher, hidden items or something on the final title is you pay for the demo though.
It does seem weird to pay for a demo but at least it isn't much, and it sounds like it has more content than a usual demo.

What irritates me about this is Capcom already has my money for MML3 (assuming I don't review it). I don't need to buy the demo to know if I want this game - I want this game badly. I'm still giving them the money for the demo.Being the target market, I would think of this more like putting in $2.45 into a pot to get your Ideas and suggestions into a lottery.
It is what it is.
