People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

MegaMan went to poo poo immediately after the NES era. I owned 1 and 2, and remember enjoying the 3rd. I rented the first "X" release in the 90s and thought it sucked within minutes.

It's a property that belongs to be left in pre 1995.

Stop being wrong. X 1-3 are great.

Sonic and Mega Man have had something of a relationship of late with comic crossovers, a shared Smash Bros. appearance, and even a Sega survey asking about the two characters interacting. So considering how big of a deal this game was and its obvious Mega Man roots the Sonic Twitter has had a bit of fun being a snarky rear end, as Sonic himself is wont to do.

I literally can't understand how a person can take all the insane bullshit surrounding this game over the last three years and choose to focus on the tepid, inane, ancillary culture war part. Hang yourselves

if people had focused a little harder on that particular canary in the coal mine (the developers hired one of their girlfriends to be the public spokesman for the project despite the fact that she had no experience in the role and had never played a mega man) then a lot of kickstarter dollars might have been saved

the game looks like poo poo...they couldn't possibly have spent all the money on it, could they? like, they just spent 40k to have some malaysians throw something together and pocketed the rest, right?

Its because they wanted to port the game to every single console under the sun instead of focusing on like one or two platforms. And have them all come out on the same release date. With all the same features.

Fourteen year old boys being fourteen year old boys (whereby the most pertinent topic is chicks) aside, if the below info is correct then it should be no surprise to anyone that she was constantly spoken about. Nor should she be rescued and spared from that. If I was a mega man mega fan, I'd probably be pissed off at the girl too.

The original Shenmue was ostensibly one of the biggest wastes of money in all gaming and I loved it, so I hope Yuji Naka wastes a hundred million more dollars on animating collectible baubles.

I think they made a deal with Sony where they would match whatever they got from the kickstarter. Still that doesn't sound like a whole lot of money, probably barely enough to cover VA costs for sailor-related dialogue.

You know how most GBS goons are a bunch of bitter 30-something IT dweebs with no real accomplishments in life so they bitterly insult the lowest of the low people so they can assure themselves "well I may be useless but I'm not fat/poor/virgin/whatever else GBS likes to make fun of"?

It's the same idea but for video games. Sonic games finally aren't the absolute bottom of the trash pile and they're going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Even with all the dumb bullshit she said, nothing beats her Magnum Opus. I understand the appeal of rule63, but at least make your attempt at chicking up a protag nice to look at. No one turns a dude into a chick because they want an ugly chick.
