DimensionWarped Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Plenty of ripoff download content with this one: - Endless Attack: A never ending level where players compete for who arrives the farthest. (300 Points) - Hero Mode: Play the whole game on a higher difficulty. (100 Points) - Superhero Mode: Play the whole game on an extremely high difficulty. (100 Points) - Proto Man Mode: Play the game as Proto Man (200 Points) - Special Stage: A brand new stage with a brand new boss for Time Attack. (100 Points) So, if difficulty changes are anything like in previous Mega Man games, you'll be paying a buck for the ability to change your health and make your weapons do half damage. Or two if you want a little variety in the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tentril Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Oh god. This game. Played through Splash Woman, Magma Man, and Galaxy Man so far. Galaxy Man is awesome. The level, the boss fight, the cheap kills all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheonix Gamma Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 You could always NOT buy the optional stuff, DW :V Just beat the eight masters, but it took a lot of tries, a lot of swearing, and a lot of snarky comments from my roommates. No fucking clue how to get the achivement for beating the game without ever getting hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why spend 15 dollars for what is essentially an NES game? :\ Guess whether I get it is highly dependent on the price point. I still think Capcom is taking us for tools suckering us up with this 8bit nonsense on an outdated formula they've raped 6 times prior. I suppose it could also be that I just wasn't very fond of the NES Megamans, but I also think that Capcom is in it for an extremely lazy buck. The Megaman formula by Megaman & Bass was pretty much amazing, why take a step back? I'll probably end up getting it, I'm just having trouble coping with some of the principles behind this, because at the same token, this opens up other franchises to build new installments, and buying this game shows developers that retro games are commercially viable again.

Aerosol Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I only really want to know the full storyline, so as to see if there's any link between the original megaman series and the X series. edit: ok, apparently there isn't. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro games have always been viable, look at the DS, it's got tons of ports coming through at full price, we're getting a brand new megaman adventure, new robot masters, new music, new levels, super nostalgia, for $10?? that's awesome, the only dlc that's even worth the $2 is maybe protoman.

DimensionWarped Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I just don't like how they gutted the game in order to make download content. I find that tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Well, that being the case, I'm not going to let them do it to me by simply not buying the game. I've been replaying old Mega Man games for the last week straight and one thing has become painfully obvious to me... Mega Man 2 wasn't the best game in the series.

Zal Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Optional flickers? Are you kidding me? I know it's optional but for christ's sake, stop trying to be awesome, Capcom. If people are that serious about it, they should fuggin' buy an old NES and be happy with that. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 So I want to be Protoman and have an extra stage, but it won't let me. I go to the downloadable content thing, and it starts looking for internet and then it either fails or loads a back button. Am I doing something wrong? Wily Stage is currently ripping me a new one.

Pheonix Gamma Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Actually, Shadix, it's $10 :V @tentril: DLC isn't available yet. Mega Man 2 wasn't the best game in the series. QFT. But MM9 is really, really awesome. The third Wily Stage is something out of I Wanna Be the Guy: There are a few parts where you float, ala Willy Wonka. To move left and right, you use the gun to add momentum. You dodge spikes, and at the very end, there's a sharp turn you have to make before hitting a cieling of spikes. If you go to the very end, past the ladder (no spikes there), the grabby robot grabs you and thrusts you into a spike for an instant death. The next screen has three 1-Ups. Two of them are actually helmet enemies that shoot you. I have not beaten this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny you say that because thats what basically what MM9 is. >.> Yes though, I want to see Megaman & Bass\8's gameplay and style expanded upon more. Maybe add some closure to the original series? Bring in how X was invented and inversely how Zero was, and what happened to all of the other Megaman characters. However, if they choose to do a new installment to the X series as a response to this, they should use the style from X4-6, not X-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Shitsux. DO NOT WANT. This is an intelligent and well-thought post :V I'll settle for romhacks. I really do hate the step back from 8/&Bass just to appeal to the retro crowd. Eh, I honestly forgot all about lack of different mechanics when I booted it up (charge, slide). And to be fair, Mega Man 8 was pretty lame, with stupid stages with dumb shit like "JUMP JUMP! SLIDE SLIDE! SLIDE SLIDE! JUMP JUMP!". MM&B rocked, though it really offered nothing new beyond a new character and a different level select structure. Alternatively you can just pirate the damn game with Homebrew Channel. I opted to actually buy it, for reasons explained in a DToid post (on MM9 selling 60,000 in one day): Regardless of whether or not you're into Mega Man, this is very good news indeed. What this proves is that you can provide a traditional, challenging, very hardcore videogame in the modern world and have it succeed. Especially on the Wii of all places, this is encouraging stuff. Other publishers take note -- there is still a market for real games, and judging by these sales, the market is ravenous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoshi Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I just completed the game, the last levels were really hard but in the end it was really rewarding to beat them, especially because I kept coming up with my own strategies. And considering the amazing sales the game got on its first day, I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom is ready to make Mega Man 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Saved up to get 9 lives and 9 energy tanks because the blob twins were pissing me off last night. Died maybe 4 times and used like 5 energy tanks. Still awesome beating the game. going for achievements now. 25% or something currently. As for the whole step back thing, I only missed the slide kick. That started in 2 didn't it? No reason for that not to be there. Besides that, it didn't feel incomplete without them or anything.

Naoshi Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 It started in 3 actually. But yeah, I agree, I would like to see Slide returning, it doesn't hurt the gameplay experience at all. I don't miss the Charge Shot, I honestly can't see it being excluded being a step back. Infact, I thought the Charge Shot made the series felt like a step back itself, especially challenge-wise. I wouldn't mind if it's in the next games as optional, that'd be a win-win situation. The game was really a blast. I have a hard time deciding if it's on par with 2 and 3. The difficulty is really forgiving most of the times too, expect for the whole "Gravity + Spikes!" puzzle BS I had to deal with in Wily Stage 3. I had so many Game Overs from that.

Pheonix Gamma Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Beat the game. Got the Quick Draw award for Wily, which was great. So far I have 38% of the achievments, including not getting hit an entire stage, reaching a boss without shooting, and beating a stage without jumping more than 50 times.

DimensionWarped Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Proto Man mode has both the slide and the charge shot. So basically, you pay 2 bucks to get the game and be able to play it as though it weren't Mega Man 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
