Xtreme 2 is last? Dammit..

Yeah

What the fuck?

Didn't MMX2 win the poll?

"MMV 5/22"

Huh? Wasn't V in the lead by far? Did the results really change that much since I last checked the poll?

lmao I think Capcom just being Capcom. IIRC they hid the poll results toward the end. No fucks given.

 

[JCX]

I think a decade of QTEs has made me weak. I was much better at Mega Man as a kid.

 

[dark10x]

I believe it was supposed to be a complete remake anyway, so source code meant nothing. And, of course, there's the whole deal with the game being pretty much complete before it was cancelled...

No ETA yet.

Was it ever leaked? I'd be curious to see how it turned out.

 

[ohlawd]

the best MM is out last. sad shit.

buying Xtreme 1 right now. Then I have to wait four more weeks aaaarrrggghhh

 

[Refyref]

Where's battle network

Battle Network 3 was rated for the Wii U VC, so it'll probably arrive sooner or later.

Was it ever leaked? I'd be curious to see how it turned out.

Not that I know of. I don't think they even ever released screenshots. All you can find on the internet is photos from playing the games on the Super Game Boy or mock-ups.

At this specific game? Because I find it pretty hard, even compared to the other games. Mainly because of the controls and enemies seem to hit a lot harder than usual.

Not Xtreme specifically, but I've been playing MMX on Wii U and MMr. Wily's Revenge on 3DS and I'm just awful.

I've also noticed that I'm worse at street fighter now too. Maybe I just am no longer good at Capcom games.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Finally found the Body Armor, that should make things a bit easier.

Capcpom |OT| No Fcucks Given

Looking forward to having some new (if old) shit to play on my 3DS.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Downloaded Xtreme as soon as I woke up! So hyped for Mega May. All of these games except MM II and III are excellent, and III is still quite good. IV and V, meanwhile, are two of the best Mega Man games ever.

 

[Slermy]

Remember that cancelled Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GBA, which was supposed to collect the Game Boy games? Looks like we're finally getting it... in a matter of speaking.

No, it's not the same. It was going to be colorized.

Bad part was that collection was more or less completed...

Really? Source?

 

[Zonic]

Now that I think about it, whatever happened to the fact that the Game Gear MM title got re-rated? Is that ever gonna get added to the VC?

Edit: After beating Chill Penguin & tried to get the Sub-Tank in Storm Eagle's stage, I fully remember now why I hated the dash so much. If you do Down+A, you can't jump mid-dash. You can only do that if you make Start the dash button (I think, but if someone wants to correct me on that, please do so), so as a kid, I'd have to do this weird claw posture with my hand to jump after a dash to cover more ground.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Heaven help me if you can't double tap to Dash or remap it to R1

You can just press twice in the direction you want to dash. Doesn't work as well as in MMX, but it's certainly better than using the Start button.

Oh wow, didn't know that. That helps SO much. Though I still have how I think pressing start = pausing the game. Least I can turn dash = Start off.

I so wish they made a Megaman Xtreme 3...

 

[paolo11]

YES!!!!! I will buy these lovely GB games. My Megaman summer run will be glorious!!!

So how much each?

 

[ohlawd]

YES!!!!! I will buy these lovely GB games. My Megaman summer run will be glorious!!!

4.99 each

 

[paolo11]

4.99 each

Cool!!

 

[ohlawd]

Cool!!

If they asked 60 bucks for Xtreme 2, I'd do it.

NO SHAME

 

[Zonic]

4.99 each

Xtreme & Xtreme 2 are/should be $4.99, while Mega Man II through V should be $3.99 since the first MM GB title was that much.

& onto Core Stage 2! Game is shorter/easier than I remember. Though I don't think I ever made it to Hard Mode, so that'll be new to me.

Edit: YES got Shoryuken & Hadoken....though I wonder since I have auto-charge on, it won't let me do the hadoken.

oh just assumed the rest were gonna be the same.

dat xtreme premium tax.

 

[MrBadger]

Oh wow, I never knew there were gameboy versions of the Megaman X games. Might buy.

 

[rjc571]

Sigh... maybe when the 4DS comes out we'll finally get to play the real Mega Man X on a portable.

 

[Velinos]

Those Mega Man GB carts aren't cheap. Glad I don't have to pay the $90 my local game store wants for MMV.

 

[ohlawd]

Sigh... maybe when the 4DS comes out we'll finally get to play the real Mega Man X on a portable.

srsly man I'd take Xtreme 1 or 2 over MMX.

no crazy pills taken.

 

[Zonic]

oh just assumed the rest were gonna be the same.

dat xtreme premium tax.

Usually GBC games are a dollar or two more than GB titles, based on what I've seen on the eShop.

& to do a Hadoken, it's DOWN+B, not Forward as it tells ya.

You can already do that

Mega Man X runs pretty well on SNES9x for PSP, but the transparencies and Mode 7 effects cause slowdown on a few of the stages. I want to a handheld version of MMX that plays absolutely perfect.

(Or are you referring to the subpar Maverick Hunter X?)

Oh well, different strokes I guess...

Of course.

The new graphics sucked.
The remixed soundtrack sucked.
The zoomed in viewing area sucked.
(Comparison:

vs.

)
The reshuffled item locations sucked.
The redesigned Wily stages sucked.
The added Vile mode sucked.

It was a completely unnecessary remake that was inferior in every way to the original.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Maverick Hunter wasn't that bad. I would have definitely supported the series if they made a second. Same with Powered Up.

Not sure whether or not to get this game. Wish I could see how it will look on my XL before I buy.

Stream of Xtreme going at http://www.twitch.tv/capcomunity

 

[PorygonVandal]

Don't you think that Nintendo is doing a Mega Man game with Capcom? All that partnership talk and Mega Man promotion recently makes me thing that we will see something at E3

Disagree on all counts. The visuals and soundtrack were excellent, and I liked the reshuffled Maverick stages, Sigma levels, and item locations. It certainly wasn't better than the original, but unnecessary? Hardly.

I remember wanting this more that the console one, lol.

So you think the lower vertical screen resolution was a good thing? You enjoyed jumping up directly into enemies that you couldn't even see before you jumped because the screen was zoomed in so damn far?

 

[Blackage]

Knowing Capcom, they're using this to gage interest in a new Megaman game.

 

[LostAnkh]

As excited as I was getting this, I am still annoyed that you can't remap controls. Setting the start button as a dash is so annoying, and I am not digging 'B' and 'A' for fire & jump.

EDIT: I get that you can double tap forward to dash, but who does that?

 

[Jucksalbe]

You can remap controls in-game. But of course this way you can only use buttons used for VC. Double tap to dash is pretty standard for the era.

 

[dark10x]

Didn't have any problems myself and I disagree with the rest of the critiques as well. The PSP game was absolutely fantastic.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

I'm neutral on that, and to be honest I didn't even notice it as an issue. It certainly didn't bother me, and it didn't leave me with a lasting negative impression of the gameplay experience.

But the gameplay, shuffled stage layouts/upgrade locations, remixed music, redone graphics, voice acting (Ocean Group did a great job with X8 as well), and Day of Sigma all left with me a lasting, highly positive impression. I thought it was a fantastic remake, straight up. Better than the original? No, just different, and certainly not irrelevant.

I didn't really care for Vile Mode personally, but at least it wasn't Zero and it only added to the overall package and replay value. Having more content is never a bad thing.

Anyway, I would have bought the shit out of a MHX2, 3, 4, etc. had Capcom decided to move forward with remaking the whole series like they had originally planned.

Not sure why you're so incredulous at the idea of someone loving MHX/having a different opinion than you. You're going to encounter at least the latter a lot here on NeoGAF.

Maverick Hunter X was one of the best remakes ever.

Nah, but they will cite the sales of these titles the next time someone asks why there isn't one

 

[Lindbergh]

MMV GB, best classic Mega Man game right here.

Wish the Super Game Boy color palette could be employed somehow.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I think I'm gonna wait and get MMIV and V GB first.

 

[ohlawd]

k I already solved it but

endgame stage.... 3?

Spoiler

there's this long gap with spikes and you have to charge the fire weapon to dash in the air to clear it. How do you get past this if you don't have the arm upgrade?

I think I know what you're talking about. I think it's Core stage 2 &

Spoiler

you gotta dash then jump (either double tap right or the uncomfortable Start button).

It's right before that one boss where

Spoiler

you stand on 3 platforms & gotta destroy 4 cannons in order to reveal the pilot

, right?

 

[ohlawd]

I've been trying down-a to dash then jumping for a long jump. You can't long jump this way or am I just doing it wrong?

and yes that's the right place.

 

[Zonic]

Yeah, you can't do a long jump if you're dashing using Down+A. Game just won't let you. Has to be double tap left/right or changing the control to use Start as dash.
