What are they doing releasing Mega Man 10 when they haven't even ported 2-9 over to the WiiU yet?

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Expert trolling.

You can probably beat him without the dash power, but his level is a lot better since you can get a heart and subtank with the dash power (not sure if it's required for the subtank).
He's weak to just regular charge attack like Chill Penguin is, so I always do Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle, and then Flame Mammoth (You can snag another heart and I believe another subtank this way) and then spark mandrill. After that I don't remember what order I do.
I'm pretty sure that you do need the dash to get that subtank; I don't think you get enough horizontal to make the jump onto that platform otherwise.

I certainly didn't need any incentive to buy MMX, but this deal makes me give serious thought to buying Super GnG too. Hmm...Special Deal:

Ah yeah. It's not worth going to that level without the boots anyways since you can't get the heart. I'm so glad they made dash a non-armor mechanic in the later games. Oh, and always go to the controls menu and change dash to a shoulder button. Thank me later.
Anything else is just uncivilized.
I am so adapted to playing with my index on A for dash on the SNES controller that I can not even do the shoulder button dash. It messes with me too much.
Yeah, you need Dash for everything on that level except for the E-Tank.
In my opinion, they are all worth it. I can never get enough of the games.

I liked 2, 3 was a little bit worse than 4 and 2, but 5 and 6 really weren't great. Play them only if you have a huge mega man x itch that can't be scratched. I have the PS2 collection and the original snes cart for MMX1 (the only affordable one) so I've sampled most of them.
AFAIK, the deal is for the NES version of GnG, not Super GnG. Notice how the screen is the NES version of the game.
For some reason i always started with Eagle and always gave up because i ended up falling when he made the wind blow.

One of my all time favorite games. I really hope they bring X2&3 to the e-shop. X3 was just so incredible, all dat music.

Almost as good as Storm Eagle's theme.

I tapped forward twice for dash for months (years?) before I grew a brain and realized I could change dash to R1.
I still press B and A together for wall dash jumps.

Doing it from the hardest Maverick first with only acquiring the boots and buster is usually what i do these days.
I'll take Sigma on and barely take a hit.

A great game...
I rememeber buying it a few days after it had relased from the video store down the street for over $60.... (Had rented it right when it cam out, and needed to have it!!)
the "x" games that followed (while good) never seemd to grab me like MMX did... just a commbination of alot of great things...
I rememeber the amount of transparencies blowing me way at the time....

Ah, reminds me of the good old days where I used to do the deformed claw grip to be able to hit A and B while maintaining a charge shot, lol.
Think I'll pick up this and GnG since they have that eshop promotion though.

I played this on MS-DOS with what I assume was a horrible sound card, so all the music in the other releases sound weird to me. I wish I could hear the music how I originally heard it, but that's probably impossible huh.
Nah, the PC version had midi music.
Just scroll down to M, and most of the PC versions of the songs are here.

I youtube'd the dos version of curiosity. The music sounds like late 80s arcade FM synth. Fucking weird
PigSpeakers
Member
Yeah, but if his pc now is using a different soundcard (which I certainly hope it is) then the midis still won't sound exactly as he remembers them considering his sound card is using a different softsynth to play back the midi notes. It'll probably be close considering the general midi softsynth on soundcards hasn't updated that much at all.
He was probably using a soundblaster of some sort, and if that's the case, there's very little change at all, since that tech never really evolved, since it was all integrated.
PigSpeakers

I always thought soundblaster had some better softsynths on it. I know you're able to change and edit the stock soundfonts on it which is nice.

One of the best games ever made. From the best period in gaming history. With the best Capcom of all time. At the best console ever concieved. You can't go wrong with this one. A trully classic Masterpiece.

I was hoping for a SUPER Ghouls and Ghosts/Mega man X deal this week, damn.
Just Mega man X it is then!

One of my favourite games of all time. New comers enjoy. Vets? Speed run this thing like I know you can.

What's weird is the ad says you buy either one and the other is half off. Soooooo
Buy Megaman X for $8, get ghouls and ghosts for $2.50 = $10.50. Or
Buy ghouls and ghosts for $5, get Megaman X for $4.00 = $9.00.
So I guess if you're going t get x anyway, you can effectively buy Ghouls and Ghosts for $1 as long as you buy it first.

This game is just gaming perfection. I have tried some of the later X games but they are quite boring in comparison to the original X. Just a few months ago I was playing the remake for the first time and the thing that bothered me the most was the remixed soundtrack and sluggish movement of X. However Vile mode made it all worth it.

Damn it! Why couldn't the deal be for MM1 instead of G&G.
Can't decide whether or not it's worth the extra dollar.

So pay 5 dollars for GnG and 4 dollars for MMX when I was already planning to pay 8 for MMX? I'm all over that
Yeah, for an extra dollar I'll definitely pick up Ghosts n' Goblins.
MMZ has pretty much made it difficult for me to keep dash as A. Even to this day it feels annoying to dash wall jump while charging.
