Apparently, Capcom had the most brilliant idea in the recent history of video games and decided to make a brand new Mega Man game, and make it for the system which brought Mega Man to its glorious fame, the NES. Sorta. Its actually for Wiiware, however all graphics and everything in it will be in old school NES graphics and play just like the original series did. How awesome is that?
Who thinks this is an awesome idea? Anyone think this is lame and silly? _________________ I'm sorry and I apologize are the same thing.

i saw it.. good idea but i hope they develop some story that better links it to the X series. the mega man storyline has taken a lot of abuse from each game. _________________ try the new KFCrispy Duck at participating KFCrispy Restaurants! |

Actually, I want the exact opposite. I want it as far away from those other series as possible and I want it to have the same cliche story every other Mega Man game has had. Wily makes robots, Mega Man has to beat them with their own weapons systematically then goes on a goose hunt in some elaborately made skull shaped castle only to defeat Wily and have him beg for forgiveness and flee. Rinse repeat.
Remember, this is Mega Man, not Suikoden, Final Fantasy or anything. The point of these games when they were all originally made was good ol' fashioned fun without the frill of some elaborate story. The game lost a lot of its value to a large group of its fans when they started making elaborate scenes with story. If I remember correctly, you had to sit through like 10 minutes of dialogue in Mega Man X (while most people were mashing the A and B buttons not even reading because they didn't care trying to skip through it all as fast as possible) before you even got to the robot master selection screen. Total buzz kill. Mega Man was always about the action, not the talking. If it goes back to the old way, I'll be a very happy camper. _________________ I'm sorry and I apologize are the same thing.

I agree with Red. I never really liked the X series of Mega man, but I love the old NES ones. I'm looking forward to this. _________________ "There is no normal life, there's just life. Now get on with it" |

Splash Woman? That's something to see! Will Mega Man grow breasts when he gets her power? _________________

Wow. I got this game and um wow. It's really freaking hard. Like you've got no idea. I couldn't get to a single boss. I'm pretty damned good at the originals too. They ramped up the difficulty by placing enemies just about everywhere there's a semi-dangerous jump and included many frustrating gimmicks like magnet jumps, transporting jumps, magma shooters that kill you instantly, retarded scissor missiles and elephants that suck you into them and into deadly pits. It's preposterous to think this game is made for children anymore. Grown adults will have a frustratingly hard time.

Maybe kids are just better at games like this than people our age? It's bound to happen sooner or later :P
I loved MegaMan 3, though never played any other mega man games since. I'll probably pick this up though, sounds like fun! _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

If I actually owned any Nintendo gear anymore, I'd be all over this one... unfortunately, in my old age, I've become more of an XBox guy. _________________

i would have played this by now but i only have a PS2. i read there are some insane achievements you can get awarded for within the game--- never get hit, beat EVERY boss in like 5 seconds, etc. wtf? yeah and i also read how hard it is. you have to do a lot of memorizing to start getting those crazy achievements! _________________ try the new KFCrispy Duck at participating KFCrispy Restaurants! |
