Oh dear this really is a strange turn of events. Afterall Capcom need to realise that the number of fans die hard enough to want to get involved in the actual development of a beloved series is going to be a far smaller number than the fans who are going to buy it. Would I like to be involved in the development process? No. I can't be bothered to create my own levels in Little Big Planet, but that doesn't mean I don't want to play other people's creations. I like Mega Man, and have actually missed out on the entire Legends series and was looking forward to picking it up on 3DS. This really is a strange conclusion to a process which genuinely felt like it cared for its fanbase, and after the uprising of the single save state of Mercenaries it seems Capcom have some grovelling to do. I'll accept your apology in the form of a brand 3D Ghouls and Ghosts. Who's with me?

@tealovertoma, this may be a little late but my local Grainger Games had a brand new copy for £25. Sweet

This is awful, not only for resale and preowned markets, but often I like to revisit a game years later and want to wipe it clean in order to start the game from scratch. This really is a step in the wrong direction.

Oh my goodness, you know what I want to see? 3D into the screen shuriken throwing bonus stage, Come on Griptonite. Its staring you in the face. WELCOME TO BONUS STAGE...Just imagine it...
