No, this is not an April Fool's joke. Capcom announced late last night via their official Japanese website that the title got canned. What's worse is that no one really knows why it was cancelled. I gotta be honest, I didn't really care about the title too much, and I didn't keep tabs on it or anything, but it seemed like a decent idea to bring MMII to 2.5D and make characters interchangeable Capcom characters. However, it's now lost to the ages.

| | Metal_Man88's Post | So far as I heard, it was a clunky 2.5D game with hideous NES palletes and poor controls, and a remake of MM2. So while it's unfortunate it was lost, the game wasn't in terribly good shape to begin with.

I'll honestly blame the clunkiness of the controls on being in-development. I mean, gotta start somewhere with it, right?
Honestly, I was really looking forward to this, because making levels and characters and shit is right up my alley, and now I don't get to do that in a new venue.

VERY disappointed to hear this. 
Controls can be tweaked in development, though... I wouldn't be surprised if this was linked to Inafune's departure in some way. Having said that, if the game was more or less a remake of MM2... erm... Mega Man 2 Powered Up? PLEASE?
(Hell, I'd take the first in the series ported since it's a shame it was only on PSP and I hear it's great.)

That it is, and if you were anywhere near me, I'd loan you the game to try out for yourself.
