Hideki Kamiya, former director to some of Capcom's biggest games, knows something we don't know about Mega Man Legends. In a series of back-and-forth Tweets, Kamiya is teasing fans of the series that they will pleased with something coming down the pike. The first tweet is as follows (UPDATE: a much more accurate translation provided by TMMN):
"Oh, finally, I was introduced to Capcom’s Kawano-san today, who was also the maker of Rockman DASH. But when I told him the wish to “make a sequel to DASH” from a certain person, he gave me some sort of grin… If it’s good it’s good I suppose… Goodnight.”
..and then, in a followup Tweet:
"If you're Dash fan, you'll be happy soon."
and another, in response to the tweet, "Don't toy with our hearts like that Kamiya-san!":
"...you gotta believe Kawano san!"
Sounds to me like Capcom is working on something Legends related with Yoshinori Kawano (director of MML1&2, Tron Bonne) being involved. Kamiya, though no longer associated with Capcom, was likely made aware of it from his meeting with Kawano -- thus ensuing the "If you're Dash fan, you'll be happy soon" tweet. Of course, this is all so ambiguous it could turn out to be anything...or nothing. Nevertheless, couldn't hurt to speculate.
------------------
UPDATE 2: Here's two more tweets of interest to keep you on edge. The first tweet is in response to "Kamiya-san Why must you toy with our emotions? We NEED Dash 3", to which Kamiya said:
"All I can tell is just wait!"
and the second, a response to "No Dash 3 at all, huh?"
"Just wait and see."
...This man knows something.
Thanks to Jeff of MegaManX9 for the tip and GarboSan for the translation.

From Protodude's.
Personally, I'm a little wary of it if it IS Dash 3, since Capcom seems to be enjoying ruining our favorite series lately. Look at how bad RE has gotten; or even worse - DmC. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't really enjoy a Dash 3 if it means we'll get a cigar-smoking Trigger on steroids, be fighting dragons in the sky instead of Reaverbots in Ruins, and Tron stripdancing cutscenes.
Okay, maybe I wouldn't mind the last one too much. But I digress...
Then again, they did supposedly hire Caroly Larson for Tron's voice in MvC3. Maybe they'll create a really good DASH 3, true to its roots, as a way of compensating for their recent screwups. Time will tell.
