Bass's was good too. And I've always loved the title screen jingle. It's no Megaman 2, 3 or 5, but it's catchy and short.

Mercury Crusader posted:I always forget what Shade Man's default music sounds like since I always go for the alternate GnG remix. That level is just crazy overall because I remember it had two routes you could take depending on how you beat the mid boss. Megaman 7 is the game that got me "interested" in the series. I was a major fan of Megaman X, and then I transitioned over to 7 before eventually getting the anniversary collection. Also, I remembered liking the cartoon, but its godawful now that I am much older. Captain Invictus posted:Seriously, one of the best tracks outside of 2.

Man, seeing X in the cartoon was AWESOME when I was little though, and Vile's voice was great. And Spark Mandrill was ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING looking. And yeah 7's ending music is outstanding, I just couldn't find a loving playlist with all the music in it for some reason, they all had like 15 tracks and that's it Mercury Crusader posted:I always forget what Shade Man's default music sounds like since I always go for the alternate GnG remix.

So since I got my sweet sweet Rock Band Portable Drum Kit controller today for ten bucks of Amazon (which by the way I'll highly recommend to anyone with the 360 versions of 9 or 10), I decided to test it out with some Mega Man 9, much to the amusement of my roommates. I get through three levels and decide to give it a rest to go run some errands and study for a test tomorrow. I get back from doing things, and notice one of my roommates updated her Facebook status.My Roommate posted:"GET IN MY BLACK HOLE" - Deadwing Apparently it's really amusing to watch me get angry at Mega Man.

How was the Xbox version of Anniversary Collection? I've thought about picking it up for some day in the future when I nab an original Xbox for the few worthwhile exclusives/multiplatform games with extra poo poo in them. I know it includes all the extras from both the PS2 and GCN versions but know little about the technical/control aspects.

You know, I had the Gamecube version of the Anniversary Collection and I think I had acclimated to the controls within a day. I guess it would have been different had I grown up on the NES games and I certainly see why it was annoying but it really didn't seem like a Deal Breaker for me Also it's probably because the AC was the first time time I played MM1-6, but you know I really enjoyed 4-6. I can certainly see why people see them as downgrades, and I'm have no doubt why people would look down at them after having to wait out development time and pay full price for them. But man, I sure like 4-6 a lot more than I do 1 and 8. They're fun titles in my opinion. Also the X compilation is good, although I seem to remember wishing that they had used the SNES version of X3 for some reason. Wasn't the PS1 version they used a bit blurry in places? Never beat X6 though, man was it bad

The blurry bits are where they replaced cutscenes with encoded video. Let's be clear here, they replaced sprite manipulation cutscenes with encoded videos of those scenes themselves, not something uniquely animated. It's exactly as dumb and ugly as it sounds. Also the music is worse. Also they added some terrible animated cutscenes in places (boss intros for one). The SNES version would have been much better.

Priced at 4.5 € it was a no-brainer. They seemed to have shifted the design slightly from memorization to twitch, which probably explains why I find it easier. Using protoman, easy mode or going overboard in the shop makes the game way too easy though, try to restrain yourself. Maybe the purists here will disagree but the only thing I miss is slide and charge shot for mega man himself.

Yeah, I think that's the big difference between MM9 and the other classic games - the other games would stagger the instadeath environmental hazards between longer stretches filled with enemies or gimmicky items or whatever, whereas MM9 is all killer, no filler and doesn't bother with anything that doesn't pose a real challenge.

In addition to Jewel Satellite, you get Concrete Shot and the various Rush things and other ways to make things easier even without dipping into the shop. I certainly agree there are some bullshit areas, but most of it seemed pretty reasonable to me.

Yeah, MM9's big thing is that you are just about required to memorize large sections if not entire levels in order to get past the plethora of instant death traps. I found it pretty drat challenging, but it was refreshing in most ways and I had no issue beating the game. It helps that you can stock up on things in the store to make your life a little easier. There's this one jump in Wily stage...3, I think, where there are spikes on the ceiling between two small platforms. I usually keep one spike guard for that moment, for example.
