Inafune and Mega Man’s Cancellations: Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc

Some of you may remember that about a month ago, a well-spoken gentleman by the name of Andrew Eisen addressed Nintendo of America and their seeming decision not to release any of the “Operation: Rainfall” games (Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower for the Wii) by way of a YouTube video which asked simply “Nintendo, Why Won’t You Let Me Give You My Money?” Andrew’s smooth delivery coupled with a common desire saw the video spread around rather quickly.
And now, Andrew is back, and this time, he’s talking Mega Man! Specifically, he is here today to talk about the “conspiracy” surrounding the departure of Keiji Inafune from Capcom, and how this may or may not have directly led to the cancellations of Mega Man Universe and Mega Man Legends 3.

Eisen goes into further detail about the whole thing by examining the timeline of events and the games which got the ax, and you can see it all for yourself over at his IGN blog.
