Andyliini Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Cool and stuff, can't have enough of Megaman. They were also teasing the release of Game Gear Megaman a while ago. Hopefully that one will make it's way out, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyliini Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah. I have played it once, and it was not very good. If I remember correctly, it wasn't even developed or released by Capcom at the time. The more the merrier I think. If buying these games bring us even a little step closer to some day getting Megaman Legends 3, I'm ready to take it. Besides, most of these Virtual Console Megaman games are genuinely good. I'd get them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I assume the GameBoy games are not simply ports of the NES games (I've not played them before)? They're not. They're original games that feature elements from the NES titles in rearranged form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyliini Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) If you ask me, they aren't nearly as good as their NES counterparts. But considering that GB-titles remixed elements from the NES games, I think they did a good job enough. Megaman IV and V are my favorites of the GB games, mainly because they both add things of their own, rather than remixing. I also played Xtreme games, but I remember nothing of those. Will be good times playing those ones again, if Capcom decides to bring them to Europe, that is... EDIT: What Dcubed said. Megaman II was actually done by different team than the rest of the games. So maybe that's why it's different. It also uses a strange sounds all over. Edited July 19, 2013 by Andyliini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Cool. How do you think they stand up to the NES games, qualitatively speaking? Dunno, never played them before. From what I hear, Mega Man 2 GB is a pile of crap, while the sequels are supposedly much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Cool. How do you think they stand up to the NES games, qualitatively speaking? First of all, I should say that each Gameboy game borrows elements from two NES games. MMII borrows from 2&3, MMIII borrows from 3&4, etc. Megaman: Dr. Wily's Revenge (this one was already on the VC) is good and polished, but very, very short. Probably the shortest Megaman there is. Megaman II is bad. Megaman III is good. Megaman IV is really good. Fleshed out what Megaman 4 and 5 could've (and should've) been, while introducing the "Chip" system that would later appear in Megaman 7 Megaman V doesn't borrow from any NES game, and stands completely on its own. One of the best in the series. If you only buy one, buy this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for the replies. Might check out Megaman V when it's released. Quick off-topic question: how do I express 'thanks from' to individual posts. Cheers! The option appears after you've made... 50 posts, I think?
