/vr/ - Retro Games

I got MM64 for my 13th birthday. In fact, a Megaman Legends forum was the first online thingy I ever joined. Memories...

I'd played Mega Man games before, and liked them, but this one really had a different feel, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

>>671542

MM64? That's cool. I personally never played the 64 version so I don't know if there were any big differences between it and the PS1 besides controls. To get this game on your birthday, man, I could only imagine.

I remember buying my copy of the MML at a Toys R' Us I recall how it was probably like the only other place in town that had a new copy of it. I nearly shat myself in anticipation.

>>671502
I remember picking up MML with my friend in like 3rd or 4th grade at blockbuster. We played it all night man, it was insane. I loved the game and asked for it for christmas or easter. Loved it so much. One of my favorite games.

The town was so cool and the characters really had depth with voice acting and such.

I really wish that MML3 didn't get discontinued. Capcom is so foking retarded these days.

>>671542
I only played MM64 instead of Legends myself, anon

It wasn't that bad a port, I'd imagine the PS1 original had wayyyyyy better sound and music because of the format, but I still loved the game

>>671671

I experienced MML the same way. I went to my local video store and rented it prior to buying it and was blown away at how cool the experience was.

At the time I didn't have a memory card, I think bought one soon after though. The music in the game is something that I really can never forget, it was all very appropriate and catchy. I especially liked the flutter music. You could imagine my glee when it was in the MML2 start screen.

>>671671

Also, the mere thought of MML3 makes me sad. =(

>that "vreeeeee" as you skated around

>>671712

tfw you realize you get zenny for kicking that can into Sharkskin bakery.

I remember seeing an ad for this. I thought, "Cool, a 3D Mega Man game." I'm always like a change-up from the norm and it was a great experience. I fell in love with the MML world and characters, especially Roll.

I really loved the idea of finding items and having Roll build new weapons. You go around collecting a lot of stuff, but its all for a purpose. It was neat that she built more than just weapons, but equipment and buster upgrades, too. Goddamn, I love MML.

I always loved Mega Man games growing up, so I remember seeing this game, and thinking of how cool of a change it would be. I can't recall how I even learned of this game, though my guess would have to be from a gaming mag.

I played the PS1 version of the game, and even though the story was whatever, I just loved going down in the dungeons, and being able to upgrade your weapons. What a shame that we'll see no more of this particular series.

I remember when I got this game, I had a crush on the women's clothing store girl, not the clerk, there was just this one girl in that store that was just automatically mai waifu.

Also, I swear Megaman Juno is a chick.

I literally cried when I heard the remix for the first time. I cried again when it was canceled, for a different reason of course..

I've been a Megaman fan since I was around 4 years old and rented Megaman 2 and 3 all the time. Around 2000, we finally got a Playstation 1 and I got Legend of Mana and Megaman Legends with it, and played the fuck out of both games, and I got Legends 2 maybe a year or two later. A few years ago, I stumbled across a copy of Misadventures of Tron Bonne and got it for $60.

About 13 years ago I rented it.

It was pretty cool but I had a hard time with it so I left it there. Then I met this one guy on internet that was like the biggest megaman fan on earth (still is) and he showed me all these different megaman games.

At some point few years ago I decided to play it on PC, and I got used to the controls and everything in general, and ended up loving it except for grinding at the end.

Then I heard they were making 3 on 3DS and I was excited, so I left 2 for the day it would be released. Little did I know it was going to be cancelled.

And I haven't still touched 2. And a friend of mine gave me an original copy of it that is a bit scratched but still works fine, except it's PAL and... PAL sucks balls.

I remember wanting MM64 so bad. When I was a kid I only knew Megaman as MMX, so I was expecting that but in 3D. I still have never played the game outside of emulation, and I feel that something wasn't right with the emulator because the controls seemed completely fucked. Probably played it for no more than 5 minutes.

Maybe 9 years ago, I downloaded MM64. It was fucking incredible. I never owned a PS, and never figured out how to emulate PS games until this morning.

I've now got MML and MML2 to play and love. There's something about these games that truly make me happy.

I was going to buy a 3ds on launch specifically for MML3. Glad I waited.

My sister and I actually played through the first one and just had a blast with it. My buddy had MM64, and he and I would argue about the differences (of which there were none, I think).

He got Tron Bonne, and I got MML2, and we just enjoyed the fuck out of the games.

I don't think they needed to be marketed as Megaman games, but then, there's that tie-in with the whatever Megaman world lore. That's rad.

Favorite sub weapon was the Machine Gun arm. I dunno, it saved my ass so many times I just kept using it.

>>674743
If PAL sucks so much send the game to me, I'll pay for shipping.

>>675019
I don't think you'd like a scratched, incomplete copy of it. Might as well just pirate it.

>>675026
I can't run pirated games, but I can tell you don't want to part with it.

>>674842
I've been playing through 1 again, and is there really any reason to upgrade the machine gun's special stat? More spread would only be useful if I wasn't aiming the damn thing well.

>make a huge contest to choose the new Megaman Legends' heroine
>lots of participations from all around the globe
>they choose the pink-haired girl
>hire some artist to finish the design
>"oops, we won't be making Megaman Legends 3 after all, sorry about that"

Capcom is full of jerks, man.

>>675394
You forgot the part where they blame the fans

I was also a Megaman 64 fag. Never knew about the "Legends" title until years later.

Me and my bro rented it from Blockbuster multiple times. I remember my brother got mad once because I triggered the scene where Megaman sees Roll naked or something while my bro was in the bathroom. He had heard about it from a buddy and was all excited and shit, I told him it didn't show anything but he still got all pissy.

Now that I think about it, doesn't ol' Rocky find a dirty magazine in the marketplace?

>>675394
dat adorable Tron!

MML2 has a PC version, unfortunately it's in japanese only and only works on Windows XP and lower.

Also it had mouse aiming.

That's right. Mouse aiming.

>>675440
Even the mouse aiming feels weird. I got it to work on Windows 7. I think it has something to do with 16bit desktop color or something like that. Can't remember. I know at first, all I got was a black screen, but fixed it and got it running properly.

>>675423
EXPLAIN
because I am about to be so mad...

>>675429

on the market place on that store with a TV that says "it's that new game megaman 64", at some point in the game if you check it again it will say Megaman Legends.

Anyway both versions were called Rockman Dash originally.

>>675598
Capcom Euro's twitter was run by a guy who had some of the most hilariously backhanded remarks for people who complained about the cancellation. It was legendary troll status.

>>675671

>>675678
It was goddamn beautiful. There will never be another glorious amount of trolling as that twitter was.

>>675691
Wow.

I didn't read that one. Holy shit. How can someone be this stupid?

Oh wait, that happened with the new xbox always online dude too.

>>675671
>>675691
God dammit I'd forgotten about this.

>>675691

>>675721
You don't even know.

I wanted to pop in and say that I really enjoyed the battle against Bruno. Jumping around on the tops of buildings in the old city area was fantastic.

>>675748
That's bull, MH3 was released outside of Japan.

Rest is true.

>>675748
And of course, there new bussiness plan for the next gen is that every game will get a yearly installment and be loaded with DLC. Because that always works so well.

>>675440
wait, what?

>>675808
Thats portable third. The one we got is MH3U, which is better anyways, but I dont think it was out when the image was made.

>>675378
honestly, it's been so long I don't remember if it does much of anything at all

i did fully upgrade it, but i think i left special for last, and i never noticed any difference...

I personally believe that Capcom cancelled MML3 for the SOLE reason that when the "fans" picked the pokemon reject as a protagonist in the game, Capcom just gave up all hope.

>>675358
I can't run pirated games
Even the shittiest of computers can emulate

>>671605
The most notable difference is that everyone sounds like they're talking out of an old radio because of how much they had to compress the voice files.
>mfw hearing the voices in MML for the first time after only previously playing MM64

>tfw you can't play Megaman Legends 2 on your PSP because it always freezes after the flutter.

If anyone can help me get around this that would be great. I'm running 6.39 PRO-B8 if that helps.

To this day, I still get it up for Roll and Tron. Mostly Tron though...god damn, she's delicious.

>>680138

Something about that crotch plate... I wanted to see what was behind it so badly when I was a lad.

>>680139
For me it was (and still is) those legs and those heels...oh god, those heels.

>>675691
>>675671
I'm still so incredibly pissed off about this. Not even about the blame shifting or the clearly uninformed dickweed making up shit on the spot. But that this was the only actual window in on Capcom's rationale behind canceling Legends 3.

I mean when all else is said and done Capcom backed out on this in the least appreciable way possible. They declared it a failure before measuring the metrics the way they advertized they would. I mean they weren't even honest about when they did it. Looking back over the blog it's clear that they decided to can it when it was announced the game was "delayed" from the Eshop's launch. Then they pulled everyone but Kinako off the devroom who filled time in her usual way. Then just waited to announce it was canceled until E3 hoping no one would notice in the wake of UMvC3

But even then the official memo about the cancellation declared that the project wasn't about the game. But that instead it was only about an educational showcase, for Capcom's fans of everything but Mega Man Legends to see the inner workings of the development process... in process. But they then concluded that sentiment with the declaration they were done educating and the experiment was over. Rather than following through with the line and at least giving a specific reason or reasons it was terminated. And everyone else who was 'official' at Capcom played dumb about it. When this process had hired a staffer with no other purpose than to conduct correspondence between Japanese production and international fans, who still works at Capcom to my understanding.

I don't want to know who knew what and when or anything like that. I just feel like Capcom would have been on better footing if their apology wasn't "We deeply regret you care.".

>>680092
Yeah, you can update that shit.
Update PRO-B8 to Nightly
Update popsloader to v4g
Use 6.60 instead of 6.39

>>675394
I'm more upset because they cancelled Megaman Online. My children dreams got destroyed...

My copy of Legends 2 freezes as I'm leaving the castle.

I played MML2 first, I loved the game.

The setting is beautiful and the graphics are charming, awesome story telling for a ps1 game.

Easy put in my top 5 of all time

It's my all time favorite video game. When I was 15, my brother bought it for the 64 and we were both hooked. Kattelox Island felt like home, we made back stories for the town locals. Remember the purple truck that drove around all the time? We called that guy "Jim". whenever we were too lazy to walk (before we had skates) we'd hitch a ride with "Jim". We got that into it. Worked to rebuild the town, did every sidequests. It was sick.

I finally beat it after school one day. My brother wasn't there to see it because he had moved with mom. It was the first time I cried watching a video game ending. To this day, I can't even play it because it won't be the same experience. It's the one game I wish I could forget all about just so I can replay it.

>>678367
I don't emulate. Something about principles and working in the industry myself.

Should've worded myself a bit better.

>>682190
I'm curious what exactly are your principles on this? Capcom's not selling the game anymore. It's not on PSN, not available for production order, and they haven't put out a second printing or a re-release in any way ever, and had one of the most limited print runs of anything licensed on the PS1 in the first place.

It's your own business if you feel that shelling out $100-300 for a 3 hour game just because the CD is from the factory is the right thing to do. But what would you do after that? I mean if/when the CD itself deteriorates? Will you then be compelled to find yet another factory copy in the postmarket because Capcom never intends to manufacture any more copies and you'd never make a copy of the CD... which despite what licensing agreements indicate nowadays; is something a person is still legally entitled to do? Will you wait out until the work becomes public domain in 2219?

>>675820
And you can't make a new save file ever.

>>682190

>>682154
I would've given her the zenny...

>>686082
You probably already paid to rebuild her house at that point. A girl not being able to afford a CD shouldn't be a job for the transient hero that just blew into town when there's pirates, thieves, bank robbers and mad bombers on the loose.

I mean she's already learned to cope just by listening to demos.

>mfw everytime I get to the credits of MML1

>>685732

They did release it for the PSP though (JAPAN ONLY, best regards Capcom)

>>686965
I just... God dammit.
>Dat Tiesal
>Dat Juno
>Dat defiance of destiny

>>686992
Wasn't it also released on PC?

First played MM64 thinking it was a classic megaman on N64, only had played megaman 8 at a friends house on saturn
Was pretty awesome
>2 months later, I beat it on 2 weeks, PS2 coming out
All the PS1 games were on clearance. I saw megaman legends 2 and though HOLY SHIT THEY MADE A SEQUEL!
>buy that with my PS2

>>687026
Picking up legends 2 on some random Wednesday with my pops was a glorious day.

>>686992
>>687012
According to everything I have ever been able to research; that's not so. Mega Man Legends got ported for the PC and N64, and more recently got rereleased as on the PSP and PSN for JP only. Mega Man Legends 2 got ported on the PC, PSP and PSN all JP only. Tron's game and the pseudodemo/prequel accompanying its release in Japan "Rockman Dash 2 Episode 1" hasn't been ported, not even with the other ports of 2.
