Having owned an SNES back in the day and played it to death for years, I really think the U gamepad is every bit as good as the SNES controller was.
I'm surprised people are still getting trolled by Miiverse posts. A few of them are probably real, but most of the ones in this thread are pretty obvious jokes.
Anyway, I just saw that email about the B1G1 half off. I wasn't going to get MMX since I have both the cartridge and the PS2 collection (and the mediocre PSP remake), but I can't pass that up.

That's just the emulation staying true to the original. While the original game performed a lot better than early Capcom SNES games such as Super Ghouls'n'Ghosts, it still had some slowdown here and there. Later Capcom platformers and action games came with a special DSP chip built into the cartridge which took some load off the SNES's slow CPU.
Bit harsh but people play differently.

You sound like a really nice guy. Guess I fit into the categories you mentioned because I have never re-assigned to L or R.
I do this too but even I think this is uncalled for!

By the way, those first two games are awesome.

I wish I could completely forget this game. I haven't played this for around two decades and I still completely breeze through the game collecting every upgrade along the way. It was almost like playing on instinct alone. The game is much shorter when you don't have to replay levels looking for that last heart container.
Hopefully X2 and X3 get released soon. I feel like I won't remember those as well.

Beat this last night with all 3 of my kids cheering on (while also pretending they were the mavericks!).
Still an amazing game.

Often you have to press Y, B and A all at once, which is a bit awkward due to their positioning. Assigning dash to R redistributes a move to your free finger. Fair enough if you're used to A, but in theory (and in truth imo) assigning to R is absolutely the best way to play.

Have to say I'm pretty excited to see how my 9 month old takes to the SNES games. My 2 year old Nephew loves SMW and Super Metroid on the gamepad. I hope Nintendo keeps the momentum up: SNES games are awesome on the gamepad.
You mean reassign it to L. The R button is for Saber attacks.
I have too much muscle memory built up from the Zero/ZX series.
Anyways I have played enough X games to be familiar with that stuff. I've still beaten X 1-6 and X8 using the default method without much problem. Also, using all three buttons at once is somewhat easier on a Gamecube controller, if you are playing the Mega Man X Collection version. On the flip side, the Gamecube shoulder buttons were not responsive enough for my tastes to be used for something like Dash.
In the Zero series yes, but in MMX it's easier to let the same hand control both jumping and dashing since they so often have to be in sync.
Wish I had gotten the MMX collection on PS2 instead of GC. Hopefully they put it on PSN at some point.

A or double-tap for the win.
I think it got reprinted at some point if you don't mind a disc, Amazon is selling it new for under $15.

I did too I thought it was girlfriend lol. I thought the hearts that increased yoyr health was the love she left for him to get... :/
Lol for some reason Im thinking of heath ledger as the joker for chill penguins voice explaing shit.
Yeah I'm totally adjusted to using my thumb to control three buttons at once. I don't remember what it was like in the past, and I can't say much about what is preferable, but it's perfectly fine. I guess having the L button available offers the extra benefit of cycling backwards through special weapons.
Same. First time I played it was I was watching my friends at time (around when I think I was 7-8 years old) losing to Launch Octopus over and over, they handed me the controller and finally let me try the game at the boss, and for some reason I ended up being Launch Octopus without any weaknesses with my first time playing the game.
I have no idea what happened, I guess I must have been so amazed at how great it was I achieved that G4 "glow".
haha what.
anyways E shop has a deal where if you buy either MMX or ghosts and goblins you get the other one for 50% off. does it work if you buy the games in either order? Ghosts and goblins is cheaper than MMX, can you get MMX for cheap if you buy GG first?
This is one of those rare games for me that's timeless and never ceases to draw me in. Love how the virtual console is drawing people into older games like this, there were quite a few on the Wii service that I tried and had never played before, and some of those games ended up becoming my favorite of all time.
