10 Infuriating Video Game Cliffhangers You Didn't Realise Have Answers

4. To The Moon - Mega Man Legends 3

Mega Man Legends never took off like the main franchise, but there's no question this spin-off has a devoted fanbase. Unlike the classic 2D platformer series, Legends was a 3D action-adventurer that focuses more on character relationships and story. As such, gamers felt a personal connection with the ensemble.

So, when Mega Man Legends 2 concluded with our titular hero trapped on the moon, players hoped he would find a way home. But with no sequel in sight, it looks like the Blue Bomber is stuck up there indefinitely.

Although unresolved cliffhangers are always disappointing, fans took this one REALLY personally. In fact, they created a Mega Man Legends Facebook group called Get Me Off The Moon, to encourage Capcom to greenlight another instalment.

Despite the fact Legends 3 never saw the light of day, we know what it would've entailed. In the unreleased prototype, Mega would've been rescued by his allies, after they join forces with two playable characters, Aero and Barrett. Because ten missions were designed for Barret, this new duo would've played a prominent part in the threequel.

Even though it's reassuring to know Mega Man made his way home, it's a bummer we never saw it happen.
