I hope they kept the Shoryuken power-up in tact!

For free... Illegally.

Why bother paying $8 for it when you can buy the Megaman X collection for either PS2 or Gamecube and have Megaman X1-6 for less than $20?

It really is quite easy now. I had trouble because I bought the black version and the firmware that came with it required me to buy Lego Batman in order to softmod it. That game is pretty cool, though, so I didn't mind.

I want to know where you went to get it for less than 20 dollars, because that game is rare and really hard to find cheap. I bought it a few weeks ago and it was more than that.

Currently at Sigma's last form on X4.

I think I got my PS2 copy at a Gamestop for somewhere around $10. The bargain hunter's best bet is to check around at lots and lots of stores that resell old video games, or keep your eyes peeled on ebay.

I really enjoyed MMX4, BTW. It just has "welcome to 32-bits" written all over it, but doesn't overdo it with the cutscenes like some of the later titles started doing.

That's what I did back when it came out anyway.

Yeah, very funny.

It's a handle I've been using at a couple of other message boards, and those times, I haven't really played a single Mega Man X game. I guess I just liked the sound of the name.

I'm not giving Capcom another penny for anything. My butt is already sore from their bullsh8t. Besides, I have the cartridge sitting on my shelf. Totally pirating it.

I'm still angry that they canceled those new Mega Man games. Universe looked awesome, in my opinion.

Nobody wins when you pirate sh*t.

I got the game myself for 20 bucks when it was released.

I have no need for the Wii download.

All I've bought from the Wii VC are Gunstar Heroes, Castlevania IV, and Contra III. That was years ago though. I never soft-modded it due to fear of bricking it, but I guess the process has gotten easier nowadays. On the issue of pirating, I tend not to pirate games since I don't want to hurt the developers.
