Can't believe they didn't just port this one if they really had to give us a new collection in the first place. It's 2015 and what we get is on par with Rockman Complete Works, released 16 years ago. It's a disgrace, especially considering this could have been their chance to give 9 and 10 a PC release. Wonder when Capcom will just leave Mega Man alone, as everything they do with series is just too backwards.

8, 9, and 10 are great. Whats so bad about them?

The only game I truly think is subpar is 7, and even then at least it has a good OST_which is admittedly a weak point because they all have good OSTs) and good Wily Levels. The sprites are messed up and didnt transition well as if theyre squashed.

But then you have 8 which is IMO solid and only gets hate by people that hate shake up gimmicks in platformers and suck ass at JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE. Game gets more flak than it deserves, cutscenses withstanding.

9 and 10 are much better than 1 and 6(Much better than 1) and I dont know how anyone can think otherwise. What were you on when playing 9 and 10? Seriously what,is so bad about them?

Tell that to Capcom, who fixed all that when they ported (that's the important word) the games to the PlayStation back in the 90s.

I am a huge sucker for collection games. They are the perfect way to introduce newcomers to game franchises. And it's a much better way to sell the games, instead of individually like Sega games on Steam.

It's a shame to see publishers treat these great opportunities so sub par. But then you have stellar collections, like >>2883503, Sonic Mega Collection and, more recently, Rare Replay.

When I have kids, they will have a ton of collection games to play through.

It's always nice to see a sensible MM fan on these boards. They're quite far and few in between.

The problem I had with the non-NES Megamans is they got rid of the 4 extra end-game levels that 3,4,5,6 featured. I'd rather the games last longer so I can have more reasons to use the weapons I just obtained from the robot masters.

Thanks for the reply anon. I admit it wasnt one I was expecting.

Ive defended Mega Man 8 for years as well as made fun of it. Its a fun game and had Capcom expirmented a bit more I feel like they couldve really made some good games using that style or branching from it. As much as I love 9 and 10 I still often what could have been.

[Anonymous No.2886003]

I'd say almost tied with 2 and 3 in my book... 10 was amazing but not as good... better than MM1, MM5 and 6 though.

Some nitpicks:

>Rock holds out his buster while charging. Only in this game for some reason.
>Like that anon said, Sprites are "squashed" and feel sort of off.
>To that end, movement feels weird compared to older games and even MM8. It works well, but not as well as other games
>Mega Buster definitely feels different from other games too, especially the non-charge shots. It works, but its still weird. Maybe its the sound effects or the movement, but it feels off from other games in the series.
>Auto's Shop feels like an after-thought. It's one more thing that "works" but doesn't feel right to me
>Bosses aren't all thrown at you at once, instead are split off into 4 and 4. MM8 does this too and personally, its my main gripe with the game. I actually love MM8.

Some Praise:

>The music tracks, especially the Wily Castle levels are some of the best in the series IMO. Many people tend to at the very least admit that Wily Castle 1 is the tits. And it is.
>Mid-Bosses are quite fun in this game
>Bosses themselves are also quite fun.Incorporating some MMX-like moments where bosses go haywire
>Special Weapons are also good, with Shade Man's in particular being rather unique.
>Optional fight with Protoman, something that should actually be a staple in the series but for some reason isn't.

Personally, I like 7, but I can see why many Mega Man fans dislike it. It's very different. That said its not a bad game and like 8 does not deserve to be called "shit".

The only Mega Man game that deserves to be called "shit" is Mega Man X7.

Genesis remixes are interesting. Same girl who did X3 and Castlevania.
Graphics are decent and a fun way to replay the games with a fresh coat of paint.
Only problem is that there's some slow down.

Wily Tower is what makes it worthwhile though. Taking on seven new stages and getting to bring whatever weapons from MM1-3 you want with you? With kick-ass, catchy as fuck original Mega Man music composed specifically for the Genesis? It's a blast for anyone who's enjoyed the classic Mega Man games. Make sure you switch the region to USA after the logo though so you don't have to play it in 50hz.

Probably the best of the not 8-bit style Mega Man games. Really feels like classic Mega Man brought to that gen, rather than the directions MM7 and MM8 went.

Play it on an overclocked Megadrive, then the slowdown goes away.

They did, buying more games just add the ROM to the emulator frontend. Even if you buy 50 games separate you still only get the 1 listing in steam called Sega genesis classic collection. You can even swap the ROMs out as I sent my buddy a few and they all worked on his PC. (I got mine free from somewhere) tho any emulator you can find online will be better

9 and 10 are blatant nostalgia pandering and cash grabs. The level design is trash (a trait shared with all games that Inti Creates works on) and they decided to regress the series by removing the slide and charge shot.

7 was just bad all around. You're forced to beat four Robot Masters before you can attempt the other four, the sprites are too large, the music isn't memorable, and it adds story fluff in between stages.

8 had garbage levels, voice acting, JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE is extremely poorly designed, and the Robot Masters show that Capcom was seriously running out of ideas. Fucking Clown Man, really?

Legacy Collection sticks to the basics and the only classic Mega Man games that are actually good.

[Anonymous No.2887047]

>>2887018

>The level design is trash

Except it isn't. I mean, I know this is an opinion being stated as a fact but you're really gonna have to go into more detail than that. I still replay 9 and 10, with 10 having my favorite set of Wily Castle levels in the whole series.

>Regressing the series by removing the charge shot

They give you the option to use the charge shot through playing as Protoman, and by the way most people tend to complain that the Mega Man games featuring the charge shot ended up being designed so you only really rely on the Charge shot and not the normal buster. I respect Inticreates for trying to capture MM2 and MM3's gameplay while still keeping the Charge shot in in some way.

>7's music isn't memorable

I'm not really a huge fan of 7, but the music it has is great. You're really overvaluing your opinion on these things, especially at this point. Those Wily Castle levels, especially WC1 has great tunes

>8 had garbage levels

Nah. You likely just hate platformers with shake up gimmicks. Which is fine, but doesn't make them garbage. My favorite stage in the game is Astro-Man's stage because its easily one of the most unique platforming stages of all time and is just fun to play.

>Clown-Man is for some reason showing that Capcom is running out of ideas. Not Dive-Man. Not Hard-Man. Not fucking Snake Man. But no, it's fucking Clown Man that is a terrible idea.

It's fun to make fun of the voice acting though. Why do you take it so seriously?

I can understand not like 7 and 8, but 9 and 10 are fucking awesome. Shitting on Inticreates is hilarious too, because they made the Mega Man Zero games and those are the best Mega Man games period. You just don't know what you're talking about, or at the very least need to lay off the hyperbole.

>9 and 10 are blatant nostalgia pandering and cash grabs.
I can agree with this, but it doesn't change the fact that they were good games to most people, contrary to whatever your contrarian ass might think about them.

>decided to regress the series by removing the slide and charge shot.
Nothing wrong with taking it back to the basics.

>Fucking Clown Man, really?
Is this a serious complaint? All the Mega Man games have silly robot masters, with 8 being no exception. They already ran out of ideas by 2, but hey, I bet you think Bubble Man is the pinnacle of character design, aye?

Seriously though, you might not think the games after 6 are good, but they exist, they are all solid games by most measures, and I bet most people would have liked to see them return. It's also funny you mention 9 and 10 being nostalgia cashgrabs and regression in the series, because that is exactly what this """collection""" is. Difference being that 9 and 10 actually had effort put into them.
