So what will the 29th general be aftee megaman legends 2? Perhaps the third canceled legends? Then the 30th be the comic?
The usual.
I never played Legends. Can someone give me a Lore sumary?
>>123991430
/mmg/ Soccer
>>123991962
I only hope for a 7x1 Megaman joke.
>>123991430
30th will be legends 3: canned edition and then battle network.
So I get my Eshop card for the sale on Azure Striker Gunvolt today right? Guess who accidentally scratched off the numbers and guess how many days it's gonna take for Nintendo to send me a new card?! ME! and FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS!
THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!
>>123993331
That's terrible luck there, man. How'd you accidentally scratch off the numbers anyway, I didn't think that was even possible?
>>123991074
Wrong previous thread was linked.
>>123657179
Previous thread here.
>>123993690
>>123991430
Tron's game is before Mega Man Legends 2, isnt it?
Also Xth for doctors
>>123993331
Ok. I talked to Nintendo's Customer service. Even if I can't get it today or tomorrow, they gave me a credit so I'll be able to get it half price guaranteed.
>>123994065
If that's the case then we'll have four thread's dedicated to Legends.
>>123994234
So let's see, it would be
27- Legends
28- Misadventures
29- Legends 2
30- Happy anniversary guess who is still canned
Also lets hope for the best for that eshop money
>>123994610
How about we do most of the spin-offs as well?
>>123994904
After Legends is Battle Network Editions and after battle Network is Starforce Editions then we'll cycle back and get spin offs/ non main games.
>>123994234
Yay! Can't wait to hear your impressions on it.
>>123996342
Yeah, let's just hope my fuck up can be fixed and I get this card soon... ish...?
>>123996480
Update: They put the balance directly on my account, so I'm gonna buy Azure Striker Gunvolt now.
>>123997702
Enjoy!
Post cute pictures of Rock.
>>123991516
You are one of many archeologists with arm cannons digging crystals in robot infested ruins in the hope of finding the One Piece. You fly around on a fish with your adopted grandpa and your hot ass sister. Red short shorts. Game 1 you crash land in an island where you circle strafe and kick dogs and garbage cans until plot happens and you get the first hint you are a supa speshul robot man as opposed to just a regular robot man. You also meet the Bonnes who become your Team Rocket and the girl one wants your robot dick super hard. Metal panties.
The Bonnes then have an adventure but no one plays that game so then Game 2 you're watching your grandpa on TV on a sick ass ship over the antartic and Roll is butthurt cause she wanted to go and find her Dead Parents. But then Roll's not-dead mom shows up and jumps off a window so you go there and dig up a naked little brown girl who tells you to collect the 7 macguffin keys and find the One Piece. Blah blah tropic level google the answers to the half naked mayor water level INCONCEIVAAAAAABLEEEEEEEE volcano level naked tron fortress level OVAH HEA OVAH HEA OVA HEAH. Then the two cyber dragons have a fight and you go to the moon to fight the brown girl who turns out to be the supercomputer running the moon oh yeah the moon is an ancient robot city then you kill her but not really only now there's no power and you're fucking stuck.
I bet Cold Man would make a cute bodyguard...
>>123996036
For the battle network edition the platformer would count like command mission, misadventures and bass? Or it would go with the spin-offs?
>>123998189
It's downloading now. I was gonna wait until the patch but with it being half price, I couldn't pass it up. I'm thinking I'll save the rest of my cash for Smash DLC. I'm pretty sure the last of the smash DLC is gonna get announced later this month. Does anyone know when the Smash Bros. Direct is gonna take place yet?
>>123998620
I'm pretty sure it counts as a spin off since it adds nothing new to the plot but I could be wrong about that then again we didn't do the game boy games yet or Mega Man Xtreme.
>>123998620
&Bass is counted as a mainline game. Misadventures doesn't really add anything to the plot either.
"My electrosurge pumped enough electricity into you to-"
"I AM elecetricity!"
OH SHIT!
>>123999523
Why did I never know about this general, literally my wet dream.
Also, would anyone here recommend Mighty no.9? I haven't heard much about the game.
because tv show by same creators
>>123998350
Oh, Thanks.
Also, is the blond a boy or a girl?
>>124000235
Not really. Buy Azure Striker Gunvolt instead. It's on sale until tomorrow.
>>124000426
The Master is a dude.
>>124000235
How familiar you are with Megaman?
Anyway I would recomend Azure Striker Gunvolt instead.
>>124000493
He pretty, no homo.
>>124000493
Also to clarify, Mighty No. 9? Even if it does somehow miraculously turn out to be a decent game, I wouldn't buy it based on principal alone. They lied to their backer's about the game's completion status. They even lied about the second delay.
As it stands, the aesthetics are bland as fuck, Call has no emotions, and the PC controls are clunky. "Our game is totally done." the mouths of the models don't move at all.
>>124000691
I've played and beat every single game except for the RPG one for the gamecube.
>>124001236
No, I wouldn`t recomend MN9 to you. Never.Maybe the porn, but I can`t say nothing about it yet.
>>124000853
>>124000235
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikR6h0EV5tI This'll tell you everything you need to know.
If you're going buy it buy a used physical copy. That way, Concept won't get your money.
>>124000853
Wait, I never heard about this. I kinda lost touch with it by August. I need to look up the stuff that they did.
>>124001425
My friend is going to do that and give an honest review of it.
>>124001351I've seen some of it, some are alright, but there's very little of it.
>>124001549
Here's a recap. Some girl named Dina became community manager of the Mighty No. 9 forums and she abused her power. Gamer Gate got pissed and did a huge chargeback campaign to get their backer funds back. Everyone who got banned from the forums isn't getting their backer rewards now. A little bit later Comcept quietly fired her without ever commenting on or apologizing for what happened.
A little bit later they announced that they were removing the main thing that made people back the game in first place -getting transformations from normal enemies- due to "tight budget"
>Game gets delayed until September 16th
>Mid August rolls around and TWO Kickstarters for a Mega Man Legends rip off and a five minute anime of it is announced. Anime gets funded. The game's kickstarter failed but they lied about needing funds in the first place because they'd been funded by a dodgy Chinese publisher named FUZE Entertainment LTD the whole time.
>Rumors of Mighty No. 9 being delayed till 2016 surface early Septemeber.
>Nick Yu tells the forum moderators to say that the game isn't delayed. He comes clean about the delay after the kickstarter for red ash fails. He then made up some lame excuse about why he never said anything directly.
>Says the game was delayed due to online bugs.
>We feel bad. Really Really Bad.
>Apology Demo is announced for backers.
>The fucking demo gets delayed (It's out now though)
>Turns out there's an exploit in the demo and they left the whole fucking game in. The only thing keeping people from playing the full game is a single file is missing but there have been data miners trying to get to the game's assets.
I'm already in love with this game. Joule is so cute and I'm really digging the lore and setting of this game.
So no ones talking about the new mighty no. 9 trailer huh...? wow. Even with all the praise the trailers getting too. all the major comments were on the day it was posted and that was abou tit.
>>124002781
But the trailer had content for transformations. That upsets me greatly for some reason.
I don't understand how someone can fuck up this bad. I'm most likely not going to get it and get Azure Striker Gunvolt, like you guys said. Thanks for the advice! I almost walked into a bad choice.
>>124003918
>>124003903
Yeah the thing about the transformations? They didn't look all that good to be honest. No. 7 is just a big orange blur and No. 4 looked boring.
Wait... You can get closer to Joule by talking to her?
>>124002781
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWoVGPYVf_A
Don't know if this adds a bit more to what you said but I felt like sharing this in addition to it's development and ride so far. What's the latest news we have concerning it aside from it's supposed release date being in February I believe?
>>124004538
Oh yeah I forgot about that documentary.
Thread number 55 should be the archie comic issur
>>124003918
The transformations are just weapons like in MM now, and there aren't any enemy transformations.
Damn Viper sure is... Fiery! *ba dum tss!*
>>124006774
>You jockblocked the wrong adept, Gunvolt.
/mmg/Azure Striker Cafe spin off when?
>>124006774
>>124006948
Yeah, Best reaction.
I heard if you manage to get S rank you can hear Lumen sing?
>>124007369
No, you need 1000 kudos. Once you hit something or use one of those special skills, the kudos dissapear and no more songs.
>>124007534
So I have to not get hit and not use my special skills? That sounds tough.All the songs have been leaked to youtube anyway so it doesn't matter
Merak's septima really emphasizes his lazy nature.
>>124008743
Merak`s stage is a bitch.
I forgot how annoying water stages can be. I was used to Megaman Zero and ZX`s water stages.
>>124008861
I somehow got the anthem so it wasn't that hard. I'm having more trouble with Merak.
>>124009046
Misson complete!
>>124006948
>Azure Striker Cafe
So the adepts somehow losing their septima and getting the chance to live a normal life?
>Merak is a lazy piece of shit who won't actually do anything but he makes a good assitant manager
>Viper is surprisingly good at cooking
>Elise gains confidence as a waitress.
>Stratos is still scarred from his experiences with Sumeragi but is healing slowly. He gets overwhelmed easily so he isn't able to be given many hours.
>Jota is a hard worker due to his military past.
>Carrera probably has trouble getting along with others due to his love of combat.
>Zonda draws in the fangirls.
>>124010452
>Nova keeps helping you managing things.
>Copen is a little shit you find hurt at the back of the caffe
>Gino is a regular.
This is getting good.>Daytona in a maid outfit.
HELL YEAH, MOTHERFUCKER.
I really like Moniqa's design.
>>124011413
Ok but all of them in maid uniforms. Even Carrera.
>>124012176
>Carrera being a maid
>He asks what`s your order with his accent.
>While dressed like a maid.
>>124012652
I just got to Stratos and
>Let me have a taste of that lap-smacking serum... Gimmie a licky-lick
*turns off game*
I know he's referring to the drug they have him on, S.E.E.D which make the context behind it even worse but this dialogue sounds lewd.
>>124013118
Wait until you get to Zonda.
They might have a couple of lines but your undies will drop to them.
>>123993690
Yes, but the other games were doing their own thing. Powered Up seemed to tack on a bunch of nonsense to the existing story and characters of the Classic games. It just seemed unnecessary to me.
Poor Elise, she's such a qt too.
>>124013118
>>124013538
I've been playing in subtitled Jap since I've got the Steam version.
People aren't being quite the same ridiculous you're dealing with, but I've got voice acting.
Stratos just says you smell delicious, he doesn't get that you're covered in pollen.
>>123998497
His theme is one of my absolute favorites. I should draw him sometime.
>>124013538
I just now noticed that all the adepts except Nova are based on the 7 deadly sins.
Does this mean Nova is Satan?
>>124007950
If you get 3000 kudos and cash it in, you unlock an accessory that makes the song that plays at 1000 kudos specific instead of random. Each stage corresponds to a different song.
>>124014330
I liked Pirate Man's theme quite a bit. It reminded me of the chill aquatic theme from Aqua Man's stage.
>>124013538
Mettaton and Zonda pose-off when?
>>123972154
>>123975273This is why I need fanfiction. It portrays this much more realistically.
>>124004396
Just wait till they patch back in her conversations. Joule is cute, cute, CUTE!!!
>>124014336
No, he`s like a general adept. We didn`t met the real Satan yet.
>>124014514
Dunno, but Zonda would win.
>>124014265
He still wants a piece of your ass.
>>124014763
I'd fuck Stratos into the Stratosphere.
>>124014620
>Bandages on a robot
Does that work?
>>124014179
That piece of art you were complaining about that had implied Roll crushing on Mega Man was made before was a thing.
This to>>123993804
And this cellphone game from Japan.
Powered Up was just the only "in your face" about it.Hell if you really want to push it, Roll's theme song Kaze yo Tsutaete/Where The Wind Blows is a love song as well, which seems odd for Roll.
But hey, look on the bright side, with Inafune gone, they'll drop it completely.
>>124015145
Mega Man Boom.
>>124014514
All this Gunvolt talk is making me so happy.
>>124014336
I finally understand why they made the design choices that they did for Zonda...
>Taking you for a tug is going to be fun...
I can't wait till they put the voice acting back in.
>>123998312
Can do
>>124015286
Now I have to ask myself if I'd prefer Megaman stay dead, or have it brought back with scarves and bandages everywhere.
I guess it's not like everything the franchise has ever done was a masterpiece. And the mistakes it did make didn't ruin it forever or anything. I think I'd take it.
I'm getting real tired of Zonda's shit. Stop teleporting me around and fight me already!
>>124016076
Here it comes...
>>123998350
Do you know what's up with the people in Legends? At first I thought everyone was human (but like more resistant to weird climate conditions than regular humans, thus "Carbons") and Mega Man was just a really human robot. But then I heard people say that everyone is descended from the cyborg humans/bio-reploids in MMZX so all the Carbons are half and half... so does Mega Man have biological shit inside him, or is he different because he's like God's son or whatever?
>>124015286
>Dr. Light is a fat, loveable nerd and his success with building a robot as powerful as Megaman was a complete accident
>Megaman spends his free time wandering around the city looking for people to help and being entirely too enthusiastic about it
>Protoman is too cool for school and always appears from the shadows, making sure to use one finger to adjust his sunglasses at least once every time he shows up. He wears two scarves
>Roll loves arts and crafts
Would you watch it?
>>124016756
Yeah, sounds like it could be entertaining.
>>124015197
I know, I wasn't referring to the art, I was referring to what the other poster said about Powered Up.Now I feel stupid because I realize that the image I replied to didn't have anything to do with my complaint. Please forgive my retardation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr21OuvZ97s
>>124017181
This doesn't make me wanna play it any more than I did before.
>>124017181
was there actually any 3ds footage in there?
>>124017181
That fire is fucking ugly.
How come this looks so subpar? I still can`t believe it. My college colleagues made better stuff than that.
>>124016756
>Megaman spends his free time wandering around the city looking for people to help and being entirely too enthusiastic about it
That's pretty much Astro Boy so yes I would watch the everloving fuck out of it.
>>124017470
It reminds me of Splatoon Ink.
>>123998497
>Cold Man
I had to watch this part of that TAS again.
https://youtu.be/sXQcplY1zZQ?t=3m10s
WHAT THE FUCK, COPEN!? Zonda's fucking dead!? Copen, you need to fucking chill.
>>124018019
And there it is.
>>124018019
Beautiful.
I love the reaction that scene gets.
>>124018019
>>124016076
I am savoring the reaction
Jesus christ he's like Proto Man except he's an asshole! Fuck off Copen.
>>124018406
No.
I have to take a break after that.
Naga or Orochi?
>>124019905
Orochi!
>>124019905
I like Naga better.
>>124020532
I like the multiple tags that Naga can offer. I've yet to get Orochi.
>>124014336
There are official matches, but I disagree with Carrera, Viper/Daytona and Elise's.
Daytona should be envy, Carrera just wants a fight, and none of them fit Elise well.
>>124019905Technos hits around Copen's shield.
>>124016296
The Carbons, as far as I understand, are a whole new species of humanoids. They are like humans but with the plus that they can basically take any sort of technology and "absorb" it to be a part of them. Some have just minor enhancement while other are like Mega Man who only has the head.
>>124021449
Dunno, I thought Daytona worked well as wraith.
I agreed about Elise and Carrera thought, their titles doesn't match them.
Debating on weather or not to put a cool down gimmick on Nova's rifles if you let it overheat. Her rifle shots are probably some of the stronger attacks, on par with Vile's leg weapons.
Is it time yet?
>>124023794
IT'S TIMETime Man has such a weird design to me honestly.
>>124023983
His bells are like little buns.
>>124023983
What do you think of Ariga's Time Man design? Better or worse?
>>124024703
I like Ariga's Design a lot more. It feels more like a robot master. I feel like the problem with canon time man is that his design is too simple and the colors run together.
I feel like it's worth noting that during the incident with Dr.Maxwell in my fan plot, Dr. Wily was ironically acting like a decent person and for once, wasn't the most awful person in the room.
This is probably because Maxwell had no regard for the robots he was modifying.
I started writing that fanfic by the way.
Anyone got title suggestions?
>>124024962
Do the robots Maxwell modifies/creates end up resenting him and seeking out Wily/Light/Cossack instead?
>>124025363I got nothin that isn't generic. I look forward to reading, though.
>>124023794who's the big robot?
>>124025820
Crash Man.
>>124026174
YARANAIKA?!
>>124025528
To summarize: Dr. Maxwell and Wily ended up working together because Maxwell was like "I can get you robots to fight Mega Man" and Wily was like "ok, cool. I'll bite" And Wily has no qualms with kidnapping so they kidnapped Stealth Woman's creator, Dr. Madison and framed her. All the robots they modified were Stealth's younger siblings (The masters/mistresses of the game are Stealth Woman, Sound Man, Steel Man, Cheetah Man, Zap Woman, Flare Man, Hydro Man, and Blossom Woman). After defeating the 8 robot masters and getting through the "Madison Fortress" Dr. Wily felt that Dr. Maxwell was going too far so he betrayed him and undid his reprogramming and put Maxwell in a position that allowed Mega Man to turn him over to the authorities while escaping himself.
>>124027343
You stop that this instant.
>>124027343
You're under arrest! Put your hands up!
>>124027820
>Dr. Wily felt that Dr. Maxwell was going too far
How so? Was he torturing Madison or something?
>>124028118
More or less. He WANTED Mega Man to destroy Madison's creations and he would taunt her as each one was defeated. He was psychologically tormenting her.
>>124027343
Counter: Cute pictures of Kalinka with Dr Cossack's robot masters.
>>124028257
That of course wasn't what Wily had in mind. Maxwell sold him the idea that he would use those robots to defeat Mega Man. Wily was disgusted when he was involved in creating Stealth's absolute distrust in humans as well.
>>124028257
>>124028482
>Madison is a woman
Oh. Even better. Torture is the best plot device. Do you plan on writing this whole story out? I'd love to read it.
>>123991074
Oh hey, I just remembered I have a psudo-relevant storytime from /tg/.
Also there's a Maverick Hunter Quest that runs on there occasionally.
>>124028074
Is it just me or do these Fake Man concepts look like Flash Man?
>Officer Flash Man
>>124028618
I've only written plot summaries, never as a whole fanfic or anything. I may start work on it over winter break when I have for free time.
>>124028923
The second one reminds me of pic related. Capcom, was this intentional?
>>124028923
It's the chin.
>>124028923
>those hips on concept A
HIPS DON'T LIE
>>124028923
So the original idea was to have Flash Man disguised as a Police Man?Captcha: 911
>>124029210
Officer Flash Man can strip search me anytime. Hell, I'd let him do a cavity search.
>>124029176
And also the fact that, like Flash Man, he has no nose.
>>124029107
With Capcom it's probably intentional
He reminds me a bit to pic related as well
>>124029805
>No hair
>No nose
>Backstabbing brother
>Always pesimistic
>"Often miserable"
Being Flash Man is sufferingAt least he is a good boss and the sniper joes under his command like him
>>124027343
Who in their right mind tears a woman's stocking?
>>124030509It's my fetish
I think I finally got a title idea for my fanfic.
Tempered Steel
Yes? No?
>>124032073
YES
>>124030509
Given how fashion is in the Zero and ZX eras, its probably mandatory for intercourse.
>>124032727
I remember reading somewhere that Bubble Man was described as a Bishounen but I can't remember wear. Also he likes hot springs. I could see him prettying himself up since it's canon that he likes to treat himself rather lavishly when he does get money.
He probably also spends his money on LUSH products.
>>124028923
Feels more likeSaitō Hajimefor me.
I blame those eyes.
>>124033149
*where
god dammit.
>>124033149
Back before I could really get into Mega Man, I noticed that there was quite a bit of art of Bubble Man as a bishounen, which is funny since he's kinda doofy looking, moreso than the other Robot Masters.
But bitches love Bubble Man.
>>124034041
This is true. Even Ariga gave him extra chub.
>>124032727
I had to look at this twice to see that was Bubble Man.
He looks really different without his goggles and mask.
I have a couple headcanons about Blade Man. His master, the owner of the castle was really old and died of old age sometime after Mega Man 10. Because Blade Man doesn't understand the concept of dying and staying dead, he had his servants live off of the rest of his riches to take care of Blade Man. Blade Man thinks his master is just sick and in the hospital or something.
Also he secretly participates in illegal fights like SWA's OC, Steel Man and may even be a rival of him.
In Steel Man's boss fight, maybe he'll use three different melee weapons against Mega Man. A spear, sword and a war hammer. Which one he uses is tied to how much HP he has and his attack pattern changes with each "phase". Does that sound like a cool boss battle?
>>124037114
Sounds cool to me, I love boss battles with phases.
>>124037114
So what weapon would you get from him and what would it do?
>>124038814
Shit. I didn't think about that. Maybe each time you use it, it cycles through his melee weapons?
>>124041092
Chill Man is absolutely precious. He posts his pictures online and I would definitely follow his blog in a heartbeat.
I like the Robot Master designs from Mega Man 10 a lot. I feel like it's seriously an underrated game. Don't get me wrong it's not as good as Mega Man 9 but it was still fun.
>>124043281
Mega Man 10 Robot Master appreciation time?
There really isn't much fanart of them though.

Mega Man 10 Robot Master appreciation time!
I was at work. I missed the bulk of the Gunvolt talk.
Is it too late for this?

The double-Zondas shaking around at the sides of the screen just cracks me up.
>>124039061
Or it works like his and cycles with how much health you have, that might be a pain to program properly though
>>124047686
>>124048343
why
I've become desensitised to >>124047686 and most works by this artist.
But who thought >>124048343 was a good idea?
Will my heart ever recover from MML3
CYAN-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
>>124051049
I swear, the conversations with her are
They're
Something tender has been reawakened inside of my heart.
>>124051181
Right? There' something very heart warming about their conversations. I can't wait till the drama CD gets a nice translation.
>>124013538
Zonda's voice is so wonderful. I could listen to it for hours. I think I will right now.
>>124012176
>everyone in maid outfits
Don't tempt me.
>>124051049
Is that a boy or a girl?
>>124010452
I knew I had Maid Elise somewhere.
>>124051916
Pretty sure a girl. Hakkin was confusing me for a bit but I'm sure she's a girl too.
>>124045048
Hey /mmg/, why is Strike Man weak to Triple Blade?Three strikes and he's out
You know how Solar Man has a failing workout course? You see that pose he does when catching buster shotsIt's the Sun Salutation.
Everyone knows that Sheep Man is based on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" But notice that his level takes place in a computer,He is a literal RAM.
>>124053659
No Man is all out tonight!I laughed way more than what I should have
>>124027343
>>124053659
Thank you.
>>124053659
>All about Sheep Man
Japan's reaction to Christmas Mode was really cute
>>124058182
>Tried to hit 1000 kudos in Christmas Mode to see if I would end up hearing Lumen sing Christmas carols
But then I slid into an enemy because of slippery ground.
>>124058271
Shit, that's brilliant! I don't think that happens though
Maybe you guys know something about this
>>124059727
>>124058182
>No Christmas Mode for 3DS version
>>124046674
My favorites are Nitro Man and Commando Man.
I like to headcanon that under all his armor, Commando Man is a handsome double amputee military looking guy.(He'd have no arms if you took off his Commando Bomb dispensers. He's worse off than Crash Man) and yeah that's sounds like a weird headcanon but it's not that much of a stretch. Just look at pic related.
>>124047103
Zonda's fucking dead. I'm so fucking pissed. I'm too tired for this shit..
>>124047519
Probably would be interesting but I have to wonder, would people start purposely reducing their health bar just to use a certain weapon if it ended up being good enough?
Good morning, /mmg/
>>124055785
I could also stretch for a pun about cloud computing
>>124061690
And good night from me, /mmg/.
>>124060923
I saw some back and foroth about it on the Japanese twitter account but I'm not sure what they were saying exactly.
>>124061543I still believe Zonda could be alive
https://youtu.be/dQPNYBevWUo
This game's soundtrack is such a mixed bag. At least the final boss theme is pretty good.
>>124064597
Is this song released yet?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2uYSlhC9zVI
>>124061690
>>124062396
Sleepy redheads are cute!
>>124064398
I wanna believe.
>>124068030
Joule, I know you've worn that little dress ever since before Sumeragi took you, but you're a growing young lady!
>>124065884
None that I could find, sorry.
>>124064597
This game does have a couple good tracks. The main theme is what got me so hyped for it. The worst of the tracks is the Power Plant. The rest of the tracks are mediocre at best. Also there's no retro track rips yet?
am I the only one that hates Zero?
>>124069140
He's technically a ambitionless weapon of war who has no desires of his own, so I can see why some people would hate him.
That said, it's not like he treats himself as anything more than that, so the issue is more on how everybody else views and treats him.
I just showed Mighty No. 9 to my 8 year old cousin. Here's his review.
"Worst graphics ever. Their mouths don't even move. It's totally a rip off of Mega Man."
>>124069258
I'm more surprised that a 8 year old kid knows what Megaman is.
I thought they only cared about Minecraft.
>>124069386
I introduced him to it through Mega Man 9. He likes it a lot. We're playing Mega Man 7 now and he's having a ton of fun with it.
>>124069386
>I thought they only cared about Minecraft.
you say that like it's a bad thing.
If they manage to figure out what a flipflop is, I'm not going to fucking complain that they spend all their time doing the exact same things.
>>124069561
The bad thing is if they only thing they care is Minecraft, which sometimes seems to be a real issue.
But I won't lie, it's a fun game.
>>124069561
Kids definitely enjoy older video games, even if they aren't very good at them. I should play more of Mega Man 7 with him tonight. I think that one is his favorite actually. He likes watching me play Paper Mario, and he managed to finish Pokemon Snap all by himself.
>>124069657
There are pros and cons, like most other games. You have to weigh whether them being insular to different video games is worth what they can potentially learn from minecraft alone.
If I was going full parent/uncle mode, I would definitely pick out the good megaman games in both mechanics and themes and estimate what age would be appropriate to get everything on the first run, but minecraft is comparatively...."easy".
Only problem is, he can't even beat Sheep Man's stage on easy mode. He's not really oriented to 2D platforming like I grew up with. He's used to 3D environments.
>>124069859
It's just that the mentality behind the game length is different, which is something that scares away most of the kids nowadays.
Back in the 90s you would play Sonic, Megaman or Mario over and over again, but doing so nowadays witha beatable game is not something that attracts them, unlike Minecraft which has "unlimited" gameplay due to random generated world and mods.Game length of games from different eras and consoles is a really interesting topic for me, but I don't think I should be talking in depth about this kind of stuff here.
http://www.themmnetwork.com/blog/2015/12/2/no-mega-man-55-this-week
Possible bad news guys....
>>124070227
I really hope they end this series with a bang. Maybe the reason they keep pushing it back is for the 29th anniversary?
>>124069804
>finish Pokemon Snap all by himself
>finish
>took a picture of motherfucking Mew
that there deserves respect
>>124070090
so the problem is the limitations in avenues of movement? Certainly 2D needs a different style of evasion.
There's enough space in 3D environments that as long as you memorize where to go relative to the enemy's attack, you won't get hit. In 2D, the way each enemy attacks is much simpler, but your focus should instead be where to put YOURSELF so that you don't get cornered. Different, but not necessarily harder.
>>124070176
I think it's totally fine to talk about game length between different eras. Megaman encompasses plenty of different "eras" after all.
>>124070227
I'm really worried. What if it end up sucking? My heart wouldn't handle something like that.
>>124070312
Pretty much. He did however make it half way through the stage all by himself. I think he almost made it to the boss once.
Speaking of Sheep Man, Thunder Wool is hands down the worst weapon in the entire series. I've seen Power Stone used more effectively, although you can use it to get multiple hits on Nitro Man.
>>124070227
That explains the lack of previews.
Still, Archie Comics should at least mention this on their twitter like they did the first time this issue got delayed.
>>124070227
You'd figure Archie would at least tell us that the comic is being delayed
What if it never comes out?
>>124070710
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW
And why bother saying "indefinite hiatus"? Why not just say "cancelled"?
>>124070871
Maybe they need the extra time to find a new way of saying "cancelled" for the final editorial.
>>124070312
Well, since the thread is kinda slow right now and I don't feel like anything else I guess I will just say my opinions about it, though I don't really have thought about them really in depth.
There's a lot of factors that influence game length. Stuff like what kind of console (arcades, handhelds, PC, table consoles and mobiles), the era that it was made, and obviously the kind of game it is.
Since games back in the 80s and 90s weren't consumed as much as nowadays, making a game that didn't have a save function did change the gameplay a lot. One example that I can give is Sonic games, that were design to be beaten in one seating, had multiple paths to the end of each stage.
Megaman has this kind of thing too, by letting you choose which stage you want to go first.
Another thing that extended the consoles games' length was the number of lives given to the player, which made he go through all the trouble of going to the start of the game/stage in order to make him master its mechanics.
The biggest difference between the games back then between games nowadays is that the feeling of progress is the denominant factor that sells most of the games. If a game makes you go through tough times again, it is called a hardcore game by today standards, since people prefer to make progress constantly instead of having to play the game againwhich also means to them less time to play the next game on their backlog.
>>124071143
Thread's always slow in the morning.
>>124070871
Speaking of canned, Capcom needs to put him in a main steam Mega Man game. Arcade Man for Mega Man 11!
He attacks by throwing sprites of past Capcom Games at you. That'd be a seriously fun special weapon to use. Maybe he's sad because not many people go to arcades anymore and no one plays with him.
>>124071369
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't arcades still really popular in Japan?
>>124071143
ZX seemed to strike a tenuous balance by grouping certain missions together. Every "set" that's completed instills a sense of progress, despite actual play not being too different from the X series.
From what I understand, 3D models and physics engines have both saved and wasted time. For all the time saved in designing stages and characters, so much MORE time needs to be spent to polish it and make it look good. I'll take 2D any day if it promises more content and sprites that are totally okay for reuse.
>>124070227Does that mean they still has the rights?
>>124071491
3D models save time because they are more versatile than 2D sprites. They waste more time because the standards for quality in 3D games is high enough to demand more time into details.
In the end, 3D ends up being more expensive than 2D, but it also pays off better if done right.
>>124071440
They are, that's because there's one wherever there's a big market center.
>>124071809
versatility gives longevity to the series, but it doesn't mean much if each individual title takes forever to produce.
>pays off better
I contest that. Before, the better the graphics, the more customers, but now we're so saturated in big budget HD graphics that people have become numbed to anything that isn't top of the line nor polished to hell andbeck.
right now it's a catch 22 of only paying off if they do it well, but because they don't have experience doing it they can't do it well. That's not a good position for a company that (used to) run on goodwill.
>>124072528
It's kinda hard to tell what is a success nowadays to be honest.
I think a lot of people here see the yearly CoD as a failure, even though number of sales may say otherwise.
If anything, viral marketing is more important to a game's sales than anything that the game itself can offer, sadly.
>>124072795
>viral marketing is more important to a game's sales than anything that the game itself can offer
which is also, unfortunately, not very useful for kickstarters. You only have so many months after announcement before you need to have something concrete for EVERYONE, not just premiums, to keep interest up.
But that's also a matter of the purchasing powers of those who don't buy into such tactics. There are only so many of us, and it is NOT enough to support the high capital high risks of 3D modelling.
So yes, I'll aspire for a bit less than "modern". Keep risks low while focusing on longer and more intricate stories.
>>124073227
Yeah, 3D doesn't really pay off if you are a indie dev, unless you want to do some stylistic stuff like trying to replicate the low-poly used in old horror gamesI had an idea of trying to do something like that with Megaman Legends style, since I think it is charming as fuck, or using a mix of 3D environment with 2D sprites a la Paper Mario.
>>124073553
Some low-poly legends would be nice. They were pretty darn expressive for textures applied to 4 or so polygon faces.
>2D on 3D
The only compatible series I can think of is BN, and I dunno....
MIIIGHT work for a reboot of Xover.
>>124073553
>>124073850
Hell, if they sat down right now and pulled out a short spinoff using the mascots of Red Ash in a Servbot-type game, I'm pretty sure that would go over better than Mighty Gunvolt did, and that one wasn't too bad.
>>124068228
speaking of which, you might want to pickup Mighty Gunvolt if you like Zonda so much.
>>124073850
I think it's something really nice actually.
Even more if consider that a lot of people thought that MN9 was going to look like this.
If you manage to make a 2D sprite work well with 3D lighting it can tuen into something really pretty.
>>124074236
I knew full well that the concept art was a bit ambitious. They wouldn't be able to pull off the mid-dash-convert-arm-to-buster shooting quite as fluidly with models, that just takes a magnitude of experience and time they don't have, and it's fucking impossible with sprites.
pseudo-3D lighting COULD work, especially as a bridge between 2D and 3D design. None of that 2.5D stuff, just blending in 3D elements long before blending in 3D mechanics.
Heh, although Tomba may have EVERYONE beat there.
>>124074534
Yeah, if it was something like Megaman with Klonoa stages + sprite production of Street Fighter 3 x10 THEN it could turn into something close to that image.
