Mega Man Legends 2 (called Rock Man Dash 2 in Japan) was released in japan in April of 2000, and has helped establish the series. Here are the beta findings that have been made, consisting of pre Japanese release pictures, and even some footage of a town that was removed from the final version of the game.
Videos:
The most notable feature of the above video, is at 1:08, where the footage of the removed town can be seen.
And in the gallery below, you can see concept arts for unused characters / enemies (taken from the Rockman Dash 2 art book), a character that’s not where they’re supposed to be, more of the unused town, a beta timer and more. Also of note, is the Blue/Purple haired character. In one image, they’re in an area that they’re not supposed to be, and in another, they can be seen in the removed town!
A Rockman DASH 2: Episode 1 beta demo that was included in “Tron ni Kobun”, the Japanese version of Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
A video from Mega Man Legends 2′s debug room can be found in Undergroundruin’s Youtube Channel!

the bgm for this trailer is different of how it is in the final game.the removed village is more likely to be from that island where the girl , which megaman gives a pig to, lives ( sorry i don’t quite remember the details because it has been a while since the last time i played ). Pokte Village is quite different, bigger with many more enemies and I don’t remember seeing the Kobuns riding those robot suits that look like Gustaff from Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
I was going to say that the last unused character is a early design for Bola, but it appears that he’s another megaman, he wasn’t completely scrapped, the first dungeon boss is a version of that guy, the design is very similar, but the robot is round, but the tail weak point and all is still there.

A picture of the unfinished town is on the back of the game case.

Actually, after seeing some of the concept from around the web. The “unfinished town” is Barrel’s real house, where the three live when not in the Flutter.
