Our favorite dead franchise turns 35 today. Looks like Capcom didn't even tweet anything. No video on their official channel, nothing. So it's up to us to celebrate. Well, what are your favorite Mega Man games, guys?

This week I played through MM1-8, got to the final stage of MM&B as MM, and the Wily Wars. All for the first time.

The lag makes it nearly unplayable. I don't like the new pause menu. It did add a lot of cool stuff and Rush Jet was fun/op, but I couldn't enjoy any of it because of the lag. I was hoping the Wily Wars would make it tolerable and they did reduce a lot of lag, but that game has it's own game breaking input lag going on.

I really wish there was a definite edition of 1 and 3 where 1's slippery movement was removed and 3's lag was fixed. I'd probably like 3 a lot more if that was the case.

It's not roms. They already confirmed after the initial announcement that these are actual ports of the games and that nothing is being emulated. This is also why the fonts are modernized (a big deal for Japanese players), chip artwork is in HD, online features, non-Japanese versions are being retranslated, etc etc. There's a lot of work being pumped into this collection, and even small little touches like putting Rockman on the title screen and having him be voiced by his VA on the anime.

Btw if you get the complete pack it's only $60. I bought the physical version on Switch since it's got both on a single cartridge and comes with some bonus goodies.

Even if the day never comes that MM11 gets in, I'm really happy that they covered literally everything else anyways. Just about everything that existed when I discovered MM8BDM is part of it now.

Classic is still getting more games and wasn't a fucking decade since the last game unlike Mega Man Jogger.

People who say this are mongrels who project Sonicfag discussions onto Megaman. Nobody is nostalgic for """classic""" MM (which is an improper name for the mainline series because it is the only series that is still somewhat ongoing with Megaman 11 while every other series has been dead for like a decade), it's millennials and zoomers who are nostalgic for garbage like Battle Network and X6.

DQ4 was the best. DQ1-3 just feel like shitty versions of the CRPGs they were based on (Ultima and Wizardry), while DQ4 is where the series starts to carve out its own path distinct from 80s CRPGs.
I savescummed the casino in DQ4, though, so I guess we both cheated.

Good to see someone appreciating DQ4 too because most people are all about 3
>I savescummed the casino in DQ4, though
The casino in DQ4 is the only thing that made me rage in these games. I didn't care when I died to bosses or any of that, I was even okay with grinding in all of the games. But the casino is something else. And it's even worse in DQ8 but luckily the 3DS version lets you savescum 'legally'

Mega Man from 1 to 11 is pure kino.
X1-X4 is the apex of the series.
Zero series is the pinnacle and should have been the end in the timeline.
ZX is a waste of time and a cashbag.
Legends should have been it's own thing like BN.

It is. ZX and Legends are like Dragon Ball Super and GT but good. It's perfectly fine to enjoy them but the series ended on Zero 4

Dust Man's stage really soured my view of the game's difficulty, and it's because of insanely precise jumps.

I would give anything for a soft reboot that serves as a sequel to Megaman ZX Advent that really ramps up the sci fi and dystopia.

its handy to have a name, jap or otherwise, to encompass a franchise with so many different names: ghouls 'n ghosts, ghosts 'n goblins, demon's crest, gargoyle's quest, maximo, etc

Mega Man Arena is an 8-bit, 4-player game like Smash Bros. The last major update added Skull Man, Sword Man, Pluto & some others.
