Mega Man Megathread

[fake-chan]

Has anyone played the games on the wondersan/color? I tried the first hour on both and they feel pretty rough. Is it worth finishing?

I did. Rockman EXE WS is alright, but Mirai kara no Chousensha is an abomination.

Do you get interesting/fun chips along the way or is just the basics the whole way through for the EXE game?

Some of the conversations that happen here when I’m offline are utterly bizarre.
Anyways I’ve downloaded BN2, I don’t think it’s gonna shock anyone that I’ll enjoy it more emulated as opposed to real hardware cuz emulation has better features.
I’ll just take it slow though. My frustration with BN1 came from the fact I was trying to “get it”, but I’ll go in with no expectations this time.

Did you expect anything else from Mega Man fans?

I hope you'll enjoy the game!

I’ll mention this in case it needs further troubleshooting but I was also not sure how the story is setup.
I know Network Transmission is canon, but not really sure how important it actually is.
And I’m told the story doesn’t go anywhere in BN1 or that it’s sorta filler-y? Or just really short and repetitive.
I’m excited for 2 either way. I don’t think missing the story in 1 is gonna kill me knowing how much I already know about BN lore.

I bring my question Megathread-side.

Is Rock/Mega Man Soccer actually worthy of all the scorn it seems to get? It’s definitely a ridiculous idea, but plenty of series’ have spin offs just as strange and we let them slide. What is it about THIS GAME IN PARTICULAR that makes it the whipping boy of Classic Mega Man discussion whenever it’s mentioned?

I think it's pretty good for a sports game, and I'm not huge into a lot of sports-based video games (apart from Nekketsu because it's all about kicking  ass) but this game I recall being playable, since there are special moves that let you blast through another player when you kick the ball.

I got bored of it after five minutes and never touched it since, so here's that.

 

[Krazy Kat]

Mega Man 4 is better.

Go into a corner and listen to Mega Man 3 OST on repeat until you change your mind.

I wasn't aware that it got a lot of scorn. It's like, serviceable but kind of boring. The biggest problem with it is that it feels vaguely unfinished, ending cutscenes missing. Also feels like the characters' powers don't really materialize in gameplay in any meaningful way, so that can be disappointing.

It just occurred to me that Megaman has a permanent sticky thread. That's crazy hell yeah

Agreed. I know this is a joke, but my literal introduction to Mega Man was watching all the Virtual Console game trailers I could on my childhood 3DS, and the music in the Mega Man 3 trailer literally brought me into the series.

Never dismiss anything when it comes to games and children. A child can be introduced to something by any way possible, and my tale is an example of how.

Whoa, this thread is way bigger than I thought.

Anyway, Mega Man 7, 8 and X4 are my favorites. I played X8 a lot as a kid but I don't think I'd like it much as an adult.

Also I found this today:

Megaman 7 is criminally underappreciated.
Also that new Axl game looks

Great game. Loved the intro, the red armour, and of course Bass&Treble.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Megaman 7 looks nice but I prefer the 8-bits style for him.

I'm surprised that MM hasn't gone the Castlevania way of doing metroidvanias for most of the games, only a few.

Same with not doing a crossover with another action platformer such as Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

I don't think Mega Man platformers and Metroidvanias are compatible with each other.

Have you heard of our lord and savior, Megaman X Corrupted?

 

[fake-chan]

Have you heard of our lord and savior, Megaman X Corrupted?

I did. I think it looks boring and bloated and it will never come out.

 

[_-_AceDragon_-_]

Have you heard of our lord and savior, Megaman X Corrupted?

Was gonna say the same!

 

[χKai]

It would be cool to see the original Megaman X remade in a Metroidvania style. If I had programming knowledge and didn't have a bunch of real-life problems to worry about, I'd make it myself!
