I imagine there's also a dash of GET THIS 3D OUT OF MY MEGAMAN contributing to the lack of a fandom, because I've seen it take some heat in the past for not playing like a traditional Megaman game, sadly. :/
It's a fantastic pair of games in its own right (or trio, if you include the Misadventures of Tron Bonne, which might be one of my all-time favorites for PS1!), but I think there are some people out there who can't take off the tradition blinders and give it a chance and judge it for what it is (fun) and not what it isn't (traditional).
