Mega Man Megathread

[TamagotchiTamaHero24's icon TamagotchiTamaHero24 TamagotchiTamaHero24]

I only just now discovered that the PS1 had rereleases of the classic MegaMan series, up until 6. I’m sad they didn’t go to 7, especially since Capcom wasn’t a stranger to releasing SFC games on the system, but still.

I would be looking to own 3, since it’s my favorite of the 8 bit games, possibly 6 since it’s my second favorite. Also, way down the road in life, I think owning the book series releases of 1 and 2 would be fun. My only question is: are they poor quality? Do they have the same emulation issues that the later Anniversary Collection does?

They're pretty good.

I think they could be fun to own for the novelty of it, but I don't think I'd play them over the originals/more faithful ports. They have a weird mishmash of mixed styles with remade music (which I think is worse, and some levels have altered music. Top Man's stage has the intro stage from MM7 for some reason) while still keeping the NES sounds, and certain UI elements look like MM8 so it kind of clashes.

The gameplay itself seems alright, though.

I’ll have to try it via the repo first. Compare the input delay with the original releases.

Also, I’ll try to see if those changes are options or forced. I’d imagine the music is, but perhaps the “nav mode” is just a mode like in Anniversary Collection.

Ah yeah I was gonna recommend this, but I was unsure if you wanted to wait until you got ahold of it :)

I agree with you, fake-kun. Err, I mean. Tonberry.

GOG Dreamlist is a place where you can vote for games to get rereleased on the GOG store. It's basically a way to revive abandonware games.

The Mega Man Legends franchise has been dead ever since the third one got canceled and Capcom looked away, but if there is enough demand it could come back one day. I know you all love piracy (me too) but seeing this franchise returning to PC would be a dream come true. It's very doable because the first two games were already ported to PC back in the day, they just need to update those to make them work on modern hardware.

You can vote here.

If the original Resident Evil trilogy and Dino Crisis could make a comeback, then so can MML.

I'll vote for it even though I despise it. Hopefully it happens!

Gabe Newell has rubbed off me and I’m forgetting how to count to 3, but I think I’ll overcome it.

I sure hope so. It would be a shame if I finished Archie Mega Man first.

Was it worth the weight?
