For the reaction, I think this sums up some of it nicely... http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php...ostcount=1
I'm not too surprised this game got cancelled -- since Inafune left Capcom, and he was Mega Man's creator and biggest defender, it's not too surprising to see this and Mega Man Universe both get canned -- it is a bit sad. I mean, I'm definitely not a MML fan (sure, it's an okay 3d action-rpg franchise with some terrible controls, but it's not Mega Man at all...), but the games are okay at least, and it's too bad that this was canned, though technically it wasn't because it was actually never greenlit for production.
Anyway, so afterwards the fans got mad. As that second link above shows there's a twitter war with some Capcom Europe PR people, a Facebook protest page that has 20,000 likes now, lots of anger on Capcom's forums, etc. I'm sure there's no chance any of that will make the game get un-cancelled, but when you give people who'd been waiting that long (MML2, the last one, was released in 2000 or 2001 after all) some hope and then take it away, they're not going to be happy.
Would the game have sold, though? Honestly, who knows. That depends in part on how good it'd have been, and now there's no way we'll know that.
