Who knows? Capcpom, obviously, but we're not them and they don't wanna be like us.
It was probably 3DS sales, I think. They didn't even release their test game on the eShop, which is a really bad sign.
Maybejust maybethey were acting like children and trying to piss off INAFKing. I'd beat the snot out of them if they actually did this for that reason.
Revenge on Infaune, obviously.
Such a great track
I played the first one for the first time a few months ago, I can't say the controls hold up, and the game is really hard. I guess it just depends, but I heard the sequel holds up fine.
Music list! It's fun to see what different people look for in Mega Man music.

MMX7 Vanishing Gungaroo theme was pretty cool. Splash Warfly was ok.
When Winter comes you can almost always find me walking around NYC with this in a playlist. So good.

MMX8 Bamboo Pandamonium Ride Armor version and Noah's Park were cool.
I still need to actually sit down with Megaman Legends 1. The graphics dont look bad after all this time, but the controls take some getting used to. Was surprised that there was voice acting too.

It's good winter music. It's not too heavy, so it really lets you take in your surroundings too. I like this track.
I actually did that exact thing - walking around the city with Frost Man's theme playing, back when I was in college. So good.
My personal favorite out of Mega Man 8 is Search Man's stage theme. It's hard for me to describe this one. Other ones I like include Wily Stage 2, Intro Stage, Astro Man and Aqua Man.
Favorite X Opening Stage: Sky Lagoon. YUS
Favorite Zero Opening Stage: X5, actually...
Favorite Maverick Stage:
X1 - Spark Mandrill
X2 - Overdrive Ostrich
X3 - Blizzard Buffalo or Toxic Seahorse
X4 - STORM OWWLLLL
X5 - Spike Rosered (hard for me to describe this theme without just saying...sexy) or Dark Necrobat
X6 - Commander Yammark
X7 - Vanishing Gungaroo is the best, the only close ones are Splash Warfly and Tornado...Tonion
X8 - Optic Sunflower (Test version)
Favorite Boss Battles
X1: All iconic...
X2: They just don't do it for me...Sigma 2nd?
X3: Bit & Byte?
X4: Iris
X5: X VS Zero. Damn right I'm choosing this.
X6: X VS Zero...er....Gate
X7: Red?
X8: Lumine 2nd!

I just realized what Electrical Communication reminds me of, the opening song from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
EDIT: Yup when it comes to 8, its all about Search Man. Aqua Man, Grenade Man, and Frost Man come close though. Whats up with Search Man's intro though? "I'm Search Man, ok?"

Oh man, I was going to post about Electrical Communication earlier.
I have it on my iPod, I love that song. It's way better than the Mega Man 8 OP, which isn't even bad. It may just be my favorite Rockman vocal song, or at least top 2 or 3.

I thought Saturn MM8 released in NA as well?
I know I remember seeing at Target, along with Resident Evil and Rise of the Robots. I think its just really rare now.
Yeah, that and X4 USA isn't that easy to come across anymore. I managed to luck out and get cheap copies of both. Saturn MM8 is the best version to go for since they kept in the Cut Man and Wood Man boss battles (weirdly absent from the Playstation version).
Damn Wood Man rematch! I swear he seems almost impossible to dodge, his leaf shield comes out so fast and seems much harder to leap over compared to MM2. I prefer not using the special weapons to fight bosses (I like to just use the buster where possible as I find it more fun and challenging) but I usually make an exception for the Doc Robots since they can be real pains in the ass sometimes.
Yeah i'd be happy with just the JP version of the Saturn game (MM8 that is). I'm surprised they didnt use the Saturn version in the collection, since its more of a complete game.

It does seem odd choosing the Playstation version for the Collection. I'm guessing it was just easier for Capcom to port the Playstation version perhaps?

Legends 1 isn't that difficult. The controls can make it a pain in the royal butt, though. Fighting the goons at City Hall was way harder than it would be with a dual-analog system.
I'm surprised: the U.S. actually did get the Saturn version of 8. Limited quantities, of course, which would explain why few people ever mention it.

some fan should rework the controls of the Legends games to be playable with a modern setup!
Dragoon En Regalia

I'm not sure if the PSP version offers any new control methods, but that sounds like a good idea.
Legends 2 has a dual-thumbstick setup as one of the options. Makes playing it much easier.
Dragoon En Regalia

That's not Legends 1, though.
Legends 2 has definitely aged better in terms of mechanics. Legends 1 simply has more charm, better story structure, and a ton of dialogue and charm within Kattleox that hasn't been replicated in MM since.
I remember using a Game Genie code at one point to make regular shots ridiculously powerful. He'll slide back further and further on hit the stronger the attack gets, but no amount of power will do any damage.
That was the reasoning. The classic titles 1-6 were also based on the Playstation releases, hence the addition of Navi mode.

I dunno, usually when I think of MMX4 and MM8, I think of the Sega Saturn versions first.
But then the Saturn was my main console during those years, so...

It also allowed them to use the PlayStation port music, which was quite fun to hear. They actually used a track from one of the arcade games for Wily Stage 1 in the original game's port: the track was originally attributed to the Yellow Devil stage in the arcade game.

It did. I own it. Managed to snag it for $25 CIB off of eBay in 2006. I daren't imagine how pricey it is now.I thought Saturn MM8 released in NA as well?

I'd sure love a box for my copy of Saturn MMX4, too, but eh.
Fun fact! The Saturn version of X4 has looping music. I don't mean "stops and starts over where the PlayStation version does", I mean actual, seamless loops. (Well, my copy skips a little bit, particularly with Dr. Light's theme; might need resurfacing.) In addition, the fight with Eregion and the second theme for Frost Walrus have 2-3 seconds of additional audio added to the beginning of the track. Also, the second Sky Lagoon stage and both of Magma Dragoon's stages have warping backgrounds. Downside is that polygonal transparencies are mesh transparencies instead of actual transparencies - although this is limited to the searchlights in Sky Lagoon and Storm Owl's weapon for X, AFAIK, it's still kind of ugly. (Other transparencies work fine AFAIK - the water is still see-through and tinted blue, for instance.)
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I was wondering why he wasn't hired for Zero's VA in MvC3.
Can't disagree with anything in your awesome list.
Some tracks I like from the Zero series (posted in the underrated Megaman music thread):
MMZ4 - Queen of Hurt.
MMZ4 - Power Field.
MMZ4 - Crossover Station.
MMZ3 - For Endless Fight III.
MMZ3 - Submerged Library.
MMZ3 - Hell's Gate Open.
MMZ2 - Ice Brain.
MMZ - Enemy Hall.
I'd post the remixes, but those are hit or miss for me.

Yeah, that was weird, but supposedly he was still doing voice acting last year at least.

I want to say I remember hearing it might have had something to do with him being based in Canada, but I'm not entirely sure about that.
I know X's VA actually did retire, though.

Gatha X will never be forgotten. My one regret over MHX not becoming a series is we didn't get to hear more of it.

Nearly all gaming corporations deal with voice-acting studios rather than individual actors, which means he's probably at a studio they're not working with at the moment.
NOPE
Meh, really bad.
I really wanted that demo. Well, IF Capcom revive the project, the demo should be revived too. They can't keep it cancelled forever...Right? Cross-posted from the Mega Man Music thread...I used FamiTracker to make an 8-bit "What if it were on the NES" version of Izzy Glow's stage music from X5. Lemme know what you guys think!

Ah, I guess it wasn't true then. Every time I play MMX1, I always attempt to do the most damage by jumping over his attacks over and over while firing charge shots in hope something will happen.
lol, sounds like one of those playground rumors that were always flying around during the pre-Internet days. I similarly thought that you could take the ride armor into a boss room. My older sister told me that she did it in Sting Chameleon's level by going through some arcane ritual to transform it into a monkey variant so that it would fit through the boss door. Me being like 6 at the time, I believed her.
So many hours wasted...

Then again, some of the game's actual features were so bizarrely unlocked so as to seem like those silly playground rumors.
Like Dr. Light's Hadouken capsule that only sometimes appears in Armored Armadillo's stage...
