Mega man games (The Orginal series)

[U2WaTCHer]

does anyone know what has happened to the orginal mega man series? I mean yea we got X, legends, battle network, and stuff but did mega man catch Willy in 8? I never got past the first level in 8 because of those dam moving platforms! I want a mega man 9 not all that other X series, yes I love the X series but its geting washed up and I am to old to get all into the kiddie made battle and network stuff. and yea legends is sorta dumb because it wasnt done right and has no replay value in it. Hope someone heard something. Thats what started the series, last I seen willy is his cameo in X4.

[EZweasel]

i believe there was a mega man 9

[U2WaTCHer]

no way? there was? I thought the playstation 1 mm 8 was the latest

[EZweasel]

i cant be for sure, but i do remember 8 and my memory is foggy but i thin ki was with a friend and i said hey look mega man 9. but dont take me for my word i could be wrong

[U2WaTCHer]

its all kewl :)

[EZweasel]

hey go and get on aol so ill have someone to talk about something. im bored

[GK Punk]

I'm pretty sure Weasel is right, I remember there being a MegaMan 9

[EZweasel]

well you too grunder kitty go on aim or whatever its called

[GK Punk]

well you too grunder kitty go on aim or whatever its called

I'm trying to avoid someone that uses aim, (I'd go in to it, but it's along story) Hopefully, It will all end soon... so I can go back on with out dealing with it -_-

[EZweasel]

what about yahoo messanger then?

[U2WaTCHer]

no I was just curious I always had a facination on what was going to happen next in the orginal mega man series but it just dryed up suddenly and now we are washed out by boring x games that have no true storyline. I would love to see how or if willy created sigma or if there going to stop the serios at least close it out to show how X could have started years later

[EZweasel]

megaman two was the best nintendo game of all time in my opinion.

[U2WaTCHer]

mega man 2 was the first video game I ever got when I had regular nintendo 3 was good from the simple fact you could walk faster and you can control rush jet up and down

[EZweasel]

yea i liked 3 pretty good 2 but to me mega man two is just unbelievable

[U2WaTCHer]

mega man 5s mega buster blast was the best it looked the best out of all the 8 games, but for some reason 7 was kewl too :) they need to finish the series and not leave us hanging or no one will know what the true orginal series is about.

[Karpo_007]

There is no Megaman 9, altough Rockman&Forte [MegamanBass] has been called by that name.

I loved the series back in NES days, but when SNEs and first Megaman X came out, I was sold.

MegaMan is probably one of my favorite video games series of all time but I still love the classic series the best. The X series I loved even more until it hit Playstation and Saturn. As soon as X4 came out I was extremely disappointed with the horribly changed gameplay. Zero became a permenant playable character but his main weapon was changed to the z-saber which was weak. Then X was given a horrible armor which I thought was a joke. The Giga Attack was an absolutely useless add-on to the armor and it took all of the energy bar to use it along with air-dash being changed back to just foward (unlike in X3 where you could go up which owned.) Then there was the X-buster, you could choose between the Plasma shot or the 4 little shots. The Plasma shot was awesome against normal enemies but against bosses it just plain sucked and the 4 little shots was just in between. Only thing I really liked about X4 were the anime scenes. X5 was an improvement, Zero was more balanced and the Falcon armor rocked but the anime scenes were removed and I didn't like the whole time limit. Plus the gameplay was getting a bit unoriginal, many re-used enemies and the bosses were very similiar to previous bosses. X6 I'm not even going to get into how bad it was. That would probably double the length of this post. For those of you who don't know MegaMan Collection is coming out Febuary 2004. MM1-8 & Power Fighters 1 & 2 on 1 GC or PS2 disc!

I can't wait for the Mega Man Collector's Edition! Mega Man 1 through 8 on one disc, plus extra's!! Anyone notice the abundance of collections coming out lately? Sonic, Mega Man, now Nintendo has announced a Zelda disc (LoZ & LoZ II, OOT & MM, WW demo). I wished they'd release a Super Mario Bros. collector disc!

[Karpo_007]

I heard that only new GC buyers will get the Zelda disc...

What system is this Mega Man Collector's Edition coming out for?

[Brodie]

All was solved in Mega Man Soccer.

[Dane E5R]

There is no Megaman 9, just thought I'd clarify. There was a game released in Japan for SNES called Rockman & Forte (Megaman & Bass) that many people considered to be Megaman 9, but it wasn't officially.

you are probably right

[Karpo_007]

Wich is exactly what I said earlier on this thread... nice that people do notice.

[Kid Icarus]

I'm going to be all over the Mega Man collection. I still need to get the Sonic Mega Collection too.
I heard that only new GC buyers will get the Zelda disc... sad but true... lucky for me, i've wanted a second one since the prize drop for my own Mario Kart LAN XD. although i already have Zelda 1 and OoT on gamecube.

[Karpo_007]

Well the disc will surely pop up on ebay, I might get it depending on the price. It would be nice to have all thos games on GC, but since you can run them on emulators it isn't a must have for me.

I guess my last post was too long for you to read, :(

[Peanut]

It's coming out on both PS2 and GC. Yeah Karpo I heard it's for new GC owners, but I'm sure there's going to be a whole load of demand for it. So I'm guessing Nintendo will be releasing it to the old GCN owners too. Nintendo is starting to get on my nerves in that regard. First there was that demo disc and now the Zelda disc. When are they going to reward their fans for buying their system when it came out and not after a zillion price drops and free stuff?

[GK Punk]

Rockman and Forte WAS what I was thinking of when Rockman 9 was mentioned, my bad -_-

Now, I haven't been following many video games lately... can someone link me to a place with more info on this MegaMan Collection?
(The Zelda Collection too :) )

[Karpo_007]

My guess is never. Those discs are a way to atract new buyers. In this way, Microsoft is a better company. When Xbox was released in europe, it cost 500€ well after few months of terrible sales they droped the price to 300€ and the people who had paid the higher price got 2 games of their choice and extra controller.

I wish nintendo would do crap like that... I've been with them for Almost 20 years now, and I've yet to see any fan appreciation. I don't really feel like they owe me anything, but it does seem they like to screw the fans over when it comes to bonuses.

[Karpo_007]

Same here, I own all Nintendo consoles, NES, SNES N64 and Gamecube. I decided to buy Wind Waker a little late, so I didn't get that bonus disc either.

[GK Punk]

I only Got the bonus disc because I had the "Cute Girl wants the game" Factor on my side. (I sent Jasmine to get it for me, because I was sick)
They were technically "Out" But It turns out they had a few hiding in the back.

well, i think they're slowly realizing that they HAVE to do stuff like that to keep their fans happy. and when i say slowly, i mean very very slowly (nintendo's an old old company after all.... over 200 years i think).

side note to Karop: x-box is still doing pretty horrid every where outside of the US. in Japan last month, they sold only 50 more units than the Wonderswan Color, that's a now defunct system.

[Karpo_007]

Actually Nintendo started in late 19th sentury, they produced playing cards... So yeah it is over 100 years old.

that's cool but dammit they need to put the the Phillips CDI, SNES, and GBC games on as well.

[U2WaTCHer]

[Karpo_007]

[Peanut]

Nintendo just announced the demo disc coming with Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It features playables of F-Zero GX, Mario Party 5, Sonic Heroes, Star Wars Rebel Strike III, TMNT and videos of a bunch of other stuff.
BTW go here (http://cube.ign.com/articles/453/453356p1.html) for some stuff on the Zelda disc. There isn't much anything about Mega Man Collection except the games on it.
