  1. 1. Which did you like more?



Recommended Posts

Mega Man 3 was the best game of the originals for one single reason - it was the LONGEST of the originals.

 

You had to fight the original 8 bosses, then the 8 bosses from Mega Man 2, then a fake Protoman, THEN Wily's Castle.

 

Mega Man 9 was a big disappointment, personally. For all the hype, they could've done SO much more with it. They should've done what they did in Mega Man 3 except take a boss from each previous game.

Yup, and yet game companies just don't seem to understand that concept very well. The bosses that were listed in that Nintendo Power were just freaking awesome. Glue Man was my personal favorite. If I remember right, he used his Glue Shot to hold you in place until he got close enough to headbutt you with his spiked helmet.

 

On another note, has anyone noticed that there's a Gutsman reference in every Mega Man game? It's a nice constant theme. Wily has his favorite picked out, that's for sure. It even shows in Mega Man 7 when Wily stole Guts Man from the Robot Museum out of all the other potential candidates.

[spoiler=because I'm trying to save space here]You're forgetting that they added a hero, super hero, Proto Man, AND Endless Mode, as well as Time Attack. That's already pushing it. Anymore, and you may as well just make it freakin' 3d. Also, MM2, which many people (myself not included) consider to be better than MM2, has roughly the same length as MM9. Seeing as how they BLUNTLY said that they were trying to make this game like MM2, you really couldn't expect it to be the longest game in the world.

 

 

They didn't really do that great of a job' date=' either. The only unique Robot Master was Splash Woman. All the rest were just...boring. This is why they should take ideas from the fans - like they did in an early issue of Nintendo Power. (That's how they got the idea for Knight Man and Wind Man for Mega Man 6)

How is Splash Woman the only unique one? Is it because she's the only girl? In that case, you may as well call every other Robot Master in the series unoriginal.

 

*Sorry if I seem kinda rude. I'm trying not to be. I just find urges to speak up when someone doesn't like a game that I like and actually GIVE reasons, unlike other people who'd probably just be like "MEGAMAN 9 IS FAIL!!! 'NUFF SAID!!!".*

I liked MMX4 a lot.

It had Animated Cutscenes, difficult bosses, multiple routes for some stages, and a great learning curve. But it left a lot to be desired.

 

The same could say for MMX8. It had a lot, but once you get Zero's Weapons, replay value drops like a stone in water. Not to mention, the Ride Stages were harder than all hell.

It also had voicing along MM8's standards. In other words, crappy. Seriously, WTF is up with X's voice?

Funny, isn't it? He sounds like a whiner in X4. But his voice in Mega Man X7 sounds much better. Guess X must've hit 'puberty' or something during X5 and X6 (most noticible in X6 since his Japanese voice sounds really cool). At least it's not as bad as Cammy from Street Fighter (she's had like 5 or 6 different voice actresses)

 

Zero's voice has always been cool.

Axl's voice has too much of a nasal sound to it and gets rather annoying.
