Megaman

[Polnareff]

I have yet to play Megaman

( please dont shoot me )

*shoots gibbi8 with the Flash Bomb*

But if you are interested in playing Megaman, I'd say the best game to start on if you want some of the most varied weapons is #2. If you want the most challenging game for a beginner, that would probably be #1 (believe me, the Iceman stage is plenty hard for people new to the series @_@).

....Or if you don't wanna shell out all that money for buying the separate cartridges, you could just buy Mega Man Anniversary Collection for PS2, GC, or Xbox, which has all eight original games, and the two arcade fighting games which were supposedly never released in the US (they were, but all shipments were pulled back). Depending on the disc, there's also other extras besides the regular ones you get.

The PS2 disc has the first episode of the American Mega Man cartoon, the GC version has the G4TV Icons episode about MM, and I haven't picked up the Xbox version, but it might have both of the extras :P

A word of warning, though: in the GC version, the jump and shoot buttons are reversed, making certain games harder than they should be. Of course, this is due to the GC controller's weird design O_o


And then there's Mega Man X, which will have its own collection here soon. That one will include the first 6 MMX games, along with Rockman Battle and Chase, which is a racing game where you can take parts from the enemies' cars when you win against them That game was never released in the US, due to Sony panning it unfairly.

But I heard that the collection will only come out on Gamecube for now, so if you have one, you should pick it up, if you like the first MMAC


....Damn, I gotta stop these long-winded posts.....

*Hadokens gibbi8's dead body* If you want a frustrating Megaman game, get Megaman 8 (the girly voice is Megaman), and go directly to Frost Man's stage. You'll find out soon enough.

Yea, verily, that level will make you wanna throw your controller. and then it will make you wanna throw it AGAIN since the same thing that happens in the beginning also happens near the end (after a short reprieve from it, and it's much harder than the first time). You'll see what we're talking about when you play it, lol.

On another note, I'm slightly disappointed that Mega Man X3 on the MMX Collection will be the SNES version, since the Saturn/PS versions had anime cutscenes (although they also had those annoying borders at the sides of the screen, as well).

But at least they're supposed to be redubbing all the dubbed games' dialogue, as well as the games that weren't dubbed before. I don't know what prompted Capcom to do that, but it looks like even Mega Man X6 will be getting an English dub this time around. I'm not sure about the soundtracks, though.

I really don't mind the lack of anime cutscenes, since you can download them here. You shall soon fear the words "Jump Jump Slide Slide". Unless you get Rockman 8, it'll be "Jumpa Slidinga".

Frost Man's stage wasn't that bad. Some of the NES ones were far more nightmarish. Just play Quick Man's stage a couple of times. Mega Man 1 was a lot worse from having no password or save feature, but that's more the whole game overall.

I used the entire Time Stopper on the beams in Quick Man x_x

Use said Time stopper in Quick Man's stage and I got the Aniversery collection, so :twak:.

I own the entire series. Yeah, that's right. The ENTIRE series.

OMG, tell me where you live. dont worry I wont come over and steal them all. OK I lied, I will. I havent played megaman in so long. I was going to buy the anniversary edition for the ps2, but I spent my money on my computer instead. :weep: :sad:

I HATE. HATE. HATE THE MEGAMAN SERIES WITH ALL OF MY BLACK CONDEMNED NAZI SOUL. I hope megaman meets up with the gang from Chrono Trigger, but they are really their EVIL TWINS (Which would mean Magus is nice XD) and Lucca gives him a pain chip, then they go back in time to when Jesus was being "scoured," and put Megaman in Jesus' place. Then do it a few times more until he is begging for death. Then they do it one more time and then kill him. smurf Megaman. smurf him for hours and hours and weeks and month and years in the ass with a cactus soaked in bleach and wrapped in barbwire WITHOUT STOPPING.

but megaman is a classic gaming series and chrono trigger sucks huge donkey balls. and megaman could kill everyone in chrono trigger without even thinking twice. since he has giant lasers and stuff. and then solid snake and ryu hayabusa run up and kill every other gaming franchise evar, and we live in a perfect world of only metal gear and ninja gaiden videogames.

Then what would happen to the other good gaming francises? And Chrono Trigger rocks.

I didn't think that was possible.

well obviously they can occasional make cameos where you have ryu or solid snake fight them and win by default-awesomness.
