Last night Capcom announced the cancellation of their upcoming title Mega Man Universe. Capcom made the announcement on the official Mega Man Universe website here. It's in Japanese, but aside from a few confusing grammar mistakes, Google Translate does a decent job of making it readable. Mega Man Universe was going to be released for both Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. It was going to be made like their classic side scrollers, but with 3d character models. The game was also going to include a level editor and customizable characters.
