Trivia

 * Some years before Mega Man Legends 3's actual announcement, Hideki made a post in the Rockman DASH series official site announcing the development of the games "Rockman DASH 3: Episode 1" and "Rockman DASH 3: Episode 2 - Revival! The Dark Lord of the Ruined Country" (「ロックマンDASH3」エピソード2～復活！亡国の冥王～). His post was shortly edited by another person to say to not believe him as he was drunk, being only a joke.
