The Misadventures of Tron Bonne - Development

Development

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne was first revealed in December 1998. A Capcom representative said that although a release was not confirmed yet, the staff would to announce it in a short time due to the popularity of the first Mega Man Legends game. In June 1999, Capcom announced it would include a demo of the sequel Mega Man Legends 2. The demo was meant to provide better graphics and a larger scale universe. It consisted of three selectable events, two being boss fights (against Tron's crabbot and a giant ape-ish Reaverbot, which can be considered as "easy" and "hard", respectively) and the last one the full exploration of the Forbidden Ruins). Tron Ni Kobun also came with a pre-release demo (or according to Capcom, Trial Version) of Rockman DASH 2 (Mega Man Legends 2). Contrary to some popular belief, this demo isn't by any means a "prototype" or a "beta" of sorts. According to the official Japanese Rockman DASH website by Capcom, the demo is "completely independent" from the final retail product of the game. The demo is known as Rockman DASH 2: Episode 1 ~ Roll-chan Kiki Ippatsu!.

The game has the same voice acting from the rest of the other Legends games for its main characters. In the North American version, Tron Bonne is voiced by Caroly Larson, while Teisel is voiced by Rob Smith (Tesshō Genda in Japan). This is the only game in the Legends series where Ikue Ohtani does not provide Bon Bonne's voice for the North American version. The Japanese version of the game features two vocal songs, "Love Letter" and "Magic!", both sung by Mayumi Iizuka, Tron Bonne's Japanese voice actress.
