Keiji Inafune Leaves Capcom

Capcom legend and father of Rockman / Megaman has left the company he's been with for 23 years. His full job title had been Head of R&D Management Group, Consumer Games R&D Division and Contents Management Division. His final post on his blog (which is now closed) titled "Sayonara", Inafune explained why he decided to leave.

"A manager's work means evaluating your subordinates and speaking your dreams. Anyone who can do both of those can be a manager. I thought that when I came here, and I still think that now."

I guess Inafune-san wasn't kidding when he said he hated his job. This is a sa d turn of events following the announcement of Megaman Legends 3.

Mega Man Legends is apparently Inafune's favorite series in the Mega Man franchise. "We have wanted to create a new installment in this series for a number of years," Inafune said in a video letter last month. "And it is great that we now have the opportunity to bring this title to the Nintendo 3DS."

Gamers will have the opportunity to play Mega Man Legends 3 when it is released next year, but Inafune unfortunately won't have the opportunity to see it to completion.
