There's also the money factor, which is to say that games cost a lot to make these days. Series creator Keiji Inafune has been quite clear on this point, and is very tired of being asked about Mega Man Legends 3. You goons didn't buy the second one, so how is he supposed to justify making a third?

If I had to guess, I would say that most of the people asking him about 3 DID buy 2.

Giant fucking cliffhangers do that to a fanbase.

He is hanging from a pretty high cliff, there.

I managed to get the Speed Metal one by accident, which makes me wonder what constitutes "stopping" in this game.

Kayma · « **Reply #325 on:** September 22, 2008, 03:22:09 PM »

I got Hard Rock on Tornado Man's stage. I'm a little surprised.

Metal Slime · « **Reply #326 on:** September 22, 2008, 03:23:23 PM »

Well now at the last level as well. Wily is giving me some problems especially since I have no extra tanks.

D:

I have a Tenner right next to me and yet have no way to convert it into Mega Man 9

Brentai · « **Reply #328 on:** September 22, 2008, 03:30:47 PM »

What exactly are you missing?

A² · « **Reply #329 on:** September 22, 2008, 03:35:35 PM »

A $10 Wii Points card.
An open bank.
Willingness to leave the apartment when I'm running on 4 hours of sleep.

Brentai · « **Reply #330 on:** September 22, 2008, 03:45:39 PM »

If you're missing sleep, you don't want to play Mega Man 9.

A² · « **Reply #331 on:** September 22, 2008, 03:46:29 PM »

I can beat Gutsman's stage in MM1 on the first try in a state of cold medicine delirium.

Kayma · « **Reply #332 on:** September 22, 2008, 03:55:07 PM »

There is a sort of calm clarity brought to your mind in the first stages of a Nyquil binge. Until the hallucinations manifest, anyway.

Brentai · « **Reply #333 on:** September 22, 2008, 04:09:53 PM »

True to form, levels in this game become trivial once you've cleared them the first time. I pretty much just blew through the first bits of Skull Castle.

Thad · « **Reply #334 on:** September 22, 2008, 05:17:21 PM »

Huh. It's only $10? I was expecting $20. Which tends to make the DLC seem a little less egregious.

Detonator · « **Reply #335 on:** September 22, 2008, 05:53:17 PM »

Jewel Man's stage feels like I'm playing IWBTG, but with fewer check points.

Brentai · « **Reply #336 on:** September 22, 2008, 06:02:14 PM »

Ha ha ha ha ending is win.

I'm really on the fence about this game. On the one hand I want to hate it a lot for copping the retro thing* - that aesthetic is the sole domain of independent developers, and there's a damn good reason for it (mainly because sprite art is all most programmers can do). But, well, I've got this really good feeling right now, something I haven't felt in a long time... that rare "Oh, that was a really good game, I had fun!" feeling.

So, I guess I can't lie.

That was a really good game. I had fun!

(Sorry if it comes off like I'm teasing you guys who haven't gotten around to buying it yet, but at least you know now it'll be worth it, hey.)

* They really are very into making it look like a primitive NES game. Right down to reintroducing those ugly running scanlines if you're on a CRT. So, no, don't expect very much more animation.

EDIT: Oh. Ohhhh. I see now. That's dangerous.

Then you'll love Plug Man and Tornado Man.
