Mega Man Coming to Wii VC. No, not THAT one

[The Damned]

http://www.destructoid.com/the-blue-bomber-is-coming-to-virtual-console-97968.phtml

Maybe we will see the entire main series at this rate?

[Diseased Project]

Only thing that amazes me, is the fact it took this long for them to release it on the Virtual Console. Oh well, now I'll just hope the classics would some time hit XBLA too (I don't own a Wii).

[Penfold]

Here's hoping...

[Imagist]

Great! Something new to finally make me use the Wii Points card I bought over a month ago.

[Tables]

Uh, what does it mean 'No, not that one'?

[EdgeCrusher]

Not Mega Man 9.

[UnforgivingEdges]

Or you could buy the GCN version of Mega Man Anniversary Collection for 15-20 bucks and have all 8.

[Bleck]

srsly what is wrong with you people

[Lizz]

Should I stop holding my breath for Earthbound?

[Tables]

srsly what is wrong with you people
If you spend more money, you're a bigger fan! :-P

[Bleck]

Give it up, Lizz. I gave up that hope a long time ago.

I hate using the Gamecube controller for NES games. Hate hate hate hate it.
I already have working copies of the last two. No need to buy those.
I don't really like each and every one of the first six. No need to buy them all.
There are more emulation/port issues with that version than I care to count.

Yep, pretty much. I returned mine because of the issues with it.

[Malaki-LEGEND.sys]

Why does this seem so counter productive?

I mean I guess this is what Miyamoto and Iwata meant when they said that they haven't forgotten the core gamers.

[Mirby]

Should I stop holding my breath for Earthbound?

Actually, I heard that Earthbound is coming to VC. So don't worry, folks.

[Frz]

Actually, I heard that Earthbound is coming to VC. So don't worry, folks.Yes, Earthbound is coming to VC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_%28North_America%29# Future_releases).

[XZero]

I liked all of the original Mega Man games (though I never cared as much for 2 *dodges stone*), but the GCN controller never quite worked for the Anniversary Collection. The GCN SNES style controller was perfect for the X collection (you could also set it up to play like the Zero games when played through the GB Player), but the 1-8 collection was uniquely bad compared to the PS2 and XBox versions of the same.

At any rate, I will be downloading Mega Man tomorrow if only to show support for future Mega Man releases on the Virtual Console. Mega Man 2 should be next month, as well as Mega Man 9. I'd love for Inafune to release a Mega Man X9 in the Mega Man X1-3 style at some point if Mega Man 9 goes over as well as it probably will.

Short version? Support such Capcom releases to secure even better future ones.

[Bleck]

Yes, Earthbound is coming to VC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_%28North_America%29# Future_releases).

Earthbound has been on that list for almost a year.

[Benjamin Agent]

my nostalgia will kick in when i see mm3. the top man stage is the most addicting mega man theme ever. and astroman from 7, but i'm not greedy.

[benprunty]

I'm happy that the Wii is finally finding some relevance for me now. Aside from Smash Bros, there wasn't a whole lot for me to get excited about. Now I play Dr. Mario Online all the time and I can't wait for all the Mega Man goodness. Bring it!

[X]

Never mind the fact that some of the games got seriously butchered, of course. ... Bah. Who am I kidding? Yeah, I got a copy of the Mega Man AC for PS2 (not GC). Despite all the glitchy crap and missing stuff, it's still a keeper, though why anyone would want GC versions of the original or X collections at all is beyond me... (infernal GC controller).

[Dopple Boppler]

Earthbound has been on that list for almost a year.

It's been on the list for a while, but it was actually rated by the ESRB just a month or two ago. So, while that still doesn't mean it's definitely coming, there's an infinitely better chance of it than there was a year ago.

And yes, Mega Man is definitely a purchase for me tomorrow; the first Virtual Console game I'll have bought since Kirby 64 back in March. Granted I don't like the first Mega Man nearly as much as 2 or 3, but still, the first three games are just awesomeness.

[EdgeCrusher]

I got the AC and X collection for ps2, so Im good to go.

[Nohbody]

Why would I buy a wii and then buy any of these games on VC when I could legally obtain legal roms and play them on an emulator? I dont need a wii no sir. Perfectly fine without it, corking actually quite.

[Katsurugi]

I can't wait to get in some Megaman Soccer. :D

That's why, my friend. That's why.

Just configure the button layout a little and it was like olden days.

[Imagist]

Um... :?

And besides, I don't think anyone bought a Wii solely for the Virtual Console. That would just be silly.

[Bleck]

Um... :?

If you own the cartridge the ROM is legal to have.

[maniacodepressif]

I never understood why Nintendo, which made the perfect button placement before, changed it for game cube...it's just inferior in every way to the snes configuration.

"Press B+X at same time!"

ARRRGGG

I gotta play with all my fingers with thumb on right stick all the time...oh and that Z button was really, really a bad idea.
That's one thing sony got right, if it's perfect, why change it?

[The Coop]

Or you could buy the GCN version of Mega Man Anniversary Collection for 15-20 bucks and have all 8.

Plus two unlockable arcade games. Although I prefer the PS2 version, since it came out the best of all the MAC versions.

Um... :?

Believe it or not, there are some areas where this happens. Both Taito Legends and Taito Legends 2 for the PC use ROMs that can be played in MAME. We're talking ROMs, right down the proper MAME naming format when you zip up the folders in the TL and TL2 installtions.

[Imagist]

But he's talking about the Mega Man games. The Mega Man games were never officially licensed as ROMs, outside being emulated for the Anniversary Collection. And if he owns the original games, why is he talking about buying them on the Virtual Console, anyway?

My "Um..." still stands.

[Bleck]

My "Um..." still stands.

The prevailing idea amongst the internet is that the ROMs are legal to have if you own the game. If this is not entirely the case, one could plead ignorance and arguably succeed.

Also, if he owns the original games, why buy the VC? Maybe because his NES stopped working like TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO FUCK. I know MINE did.

[Imagist]

In that case I wouldn't see the logic behind paying again to play something he already owns, or even considering paying for it. But crap, this is getting into the same trap as the Chrono Trigger DS thread now.

Didn't I say I was retreating into the writing thread like forever ago?...

I hope you write better than you reeead

[Imagist]

Are you as retarded as your pseudo-villain namesake?

If he owns the NES games but the games or the NES done got broked then just play the freaking ROMs. The only reasons to buy the game at all (much less a second time) are if you don't already own it and you object to breakin' the law.

You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law, breaking the law...

[Bleck]

Are you as retarded as your pseudo-villain namesake?

look at me I'm Imagery I insult people on the internet

If he owns the NES games but the games or the NES done got broked then just play the freaking ROMs.

hey guys I heard the wiimote makes a pretty good NES controller much better than the keyboard

also I heard that games look better on a TV

also I heard emulators have a habit of being glitchy

also I heard that people like owning Mega Man games if they are fans

[Imagist]

this is almost as fun as that one time I picked fights with arek when we were bored but I get the feeling you're not in on the ironic nature of it all

anyway as I said we're now getting into the same kind of circlejerking territory that the chrono trigger ds thread already covered pretty thoroughly so I think I am going to sleep

[Bleck]

look at me I am Imagery

I suddenly talk about other things when I know I'm wrong

do me a favour and retreat into the writing thread!

[Imagist]

you just really don't like the idea of me sleeping do you

hey guys I heard the wiimote makes a pretty good NES controller much better than the keyboard

hey guys I heard they make pc gamepads that are reworked NES controllers

and they cost about $230 less than a Wii

also I heard that games look better on a TV

and I am obsessed with just how crisp my pixelated 8-bit graphics are (remember we are talking about mega man games)

also I heard emulators have a habit of being glitchy

hey remember when I said that thing like "remember we are talking about mega man games"

yeah

also I heard that people like owning Mega Man games if they are fans

also I heard that if you walk up to Inafune and hand him $100 and caress his privates you are a bigger fan than anyone else (remember in this hypothetical situation that calls for emulation he already owns the games once)

[Bleck]

the wii is not just for VC games etc etc



and I am obsessed with just how crisp my pixelated 8-bit graphics are (remember we are talking about mega man games)

my TV is about 40 inches larger then my computer screen


also I heard that if you walk up to Inafune and hand him $100 and caress his privates you are a bigger fan than anyone else (remember in this hypothetical situation that calls for emulation he already owns the games once)

hey all you megaman fans imagery thinks you're all fags

[JCvgluvr]

Mega Man 2!!! F*** YEAH!!!

I just wish that I didn't have to wait thru Mega Man 1 first (not a big fan of the original). But 2 is on my list of top 20 games I ever played. As for the GC version of Anniversary Collection, I got it, loved it, and played it until it became inexplicably full of scratches. I blame one of my 3 little sisters...

Are you as retarded as your pseudo-villain namesake?

That does it Imagery, now you've gone too far, and flamed the wrong person!













Bleck was a great villain in Super Paper Mario! :<

[Imagist]

the wii is not just for VC games etc etc

I'm not the one who suggested this preposterous idea

my TV is about 40 inches larger then my computer screen

yes yessss my blocky robot man is bigger than your block robot man!!!

hey all you megaman fans imagery thinks you're all fags

actually I think I am going to sig this it's pretty funny

[Bleck]

yes yessss my blocky robot man is bigger than your block robot man!!!

and don't you forget it

Bleck was a great villain in Super Paper Mario! :<

the best one of any mario by far

[The Damned]

Hey! What bullshit is this? The article said it would be out today, but it's not on the VC Channel. When you check the source, it's mysteriously absent. What the fuck?

[atmuh]

shut up and play a rom

[The Damned]

Then supply me with one, right here and now. According to some of our big-time legal experts in this thread, it's super legal and shit.

Come on, someone post a ROM link. According to yourselves, you have nothing to fear. The mods won't do anything because it's completely legal, riiiiiight?

Time to see who's really backing up their claims now.

[atmuh]

im at work i cant

[ZeroBass.Exe]

www.thepiratebay.org, search NES ROMS, enjoy

[JCvgluvr]

It's okay that it didn't come out today. We got Sonic for the Master System instead! Isn't that great? :D

lololololol

[Schwaltzvald]

lololololol

few times I actually agree with him :lol:

[electric concerto]

lol, ironic that at this time the character picture up there is Megaman :P

[Arek the Absolute]

coincidence not ironic cause that shit happens a lot

anyway you all are stupid for doing the whole "get the rom instead" bullshit

let people who want to SUPPORT capcom in doing this do it. the more support they get the more input they get and the more input they get the more chances we get for new shit

so stop being douchebags and let peeps buy this in peace

douchebags

OCR: We Know Drama.

[The Damned]

Drama is what makes people come to a site. OCR has ads to generate revenue. People will also see the t-shirts and hoodies and whatnot with the OCR logo on them.

Therefore, yelling at each other is good for OCR!

Come on, everybody! Troll and argue!

[ZeroBass.Exe]

Just so it's known: I don't condone pirating except in some cases. If people are going to do so, there really isn't too much you can say to stop them. Best to tell them where so they can go and get it over with. I, for one, paid 40 bucks for the original game when it game out, and I bought the anniversary collection when it came out, first for the PS2, and later the XboX version. I have paid for Mega Man 2 three times in my life, so therefore, I believe I should not have to do so again. I technically cannot pirate MM2, as I've given full retail value money for it...three times!


The only other time I can condone pirating is if you are looking for something that otherwise isn't realistically availble. Let's say, oh, you want to watch the old M.A.S.K. cartoon from the 80's. It has not been released on DVD in the USA, and you really want to watch it, cause hey, it's M.A.S.K., and Robot Chicken's raping of Trakker and Miles renewed your interest in it. It's not available here, so downloading someones rips from Germany may be the only option available to you.

I'll admit it's a truly grey area open for debate, and I saying it on OCR, so I've no doubt it will be, but I love Mega Man as much as anyone, thought I'll not pay for MM2 a FOURTH time!

[Bleck]

so apparently this was all a lie I see no Mega Man there

[SoloGamer]

nintendo just trolled the internet

Apparently, Ys I & II and Samurai Shodown 2 were also to be released today

[The Coop]

At least they didn't Rick Roll you :lol:

[ZeroBass.Exe]

nintendo just trolled the internet

Apparently, Ys I & II and Samurai Shodown were also to be released today

I thought Sam Sho was already on there? I recall seeing it about two months ago.

[SoloGamer]

Whoops, meant to say SamsSho 2

[Schwaltzvald]

nintendo just trolled the internet

The best news though is that they releaseed Splatterhouse 2 :D.

THEY BETTER GET SPLATTERHOUSE 3 ON THE VC >:L

Don't worry, Atma and Bleck do the work of 10 trollers!

*Hunkers down for flaming reply, shotgun cocked and ready*

[atmuh]

people think bleck is a troll because they mistake intelligence for trolling because such a thing is so lacking
and me i just dont like idiots



also troller lulz

[JCvgluvr]

NO U!

*Blasts Atma right between the eyes, removing both of them in the process*

[atmuh]

also i dont like hurting people thats not nice

[Bleck]

trolling was a good word to use before all the kids started using it to describe anyone they didn't like

[The Damned]

Judging by the fact that the original blog that said this was happening has been removed, and no explanation has been given, I think that it's likely that the blogger either made this up, or had some critical information wrong. And there has been no mention of any info related to Mega Man games coming to VC since.

Fuck you, blogger.

No, the blame rest on Nintendo. As I mentioned, SNK and Hudson had both announced SamSho II (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/01/samurai-shodown-ii-slices-into-virtual-console-next-week/) and Ys Book I & II (http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:KrgdmClJeZ0J:vc-pce.com/usa/e/title/ys.html+Ys+Book+I+%26+II+virtual+console&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us) (cached because the actual page is now gone) for August 4, neither of which came out.

Maybe there was a crossed wire and these three will come out next week

[Toadofsky]

Personally, I've never been that into Mega Man games, but they were entertaining. I loved Mega Man Legends. And I generally prefered Mega Man X series because that's what I grew up with.

Though I do want to download Mega Man 9 when it comes out...

[JCvgluvr]

Fuck you, blogger.

Agreed. It's going to take that much longer now until MM2 comes out.

[The Damned]

Mega Man 1 is now out on VC. Go and get it!

[JCvgluvr]

That means that MM2 can't be far off, right? Right? RIGHT?!

[The Damned]

I don't know. Maybe?

PS: Mega Man 1 is hard.

PPS: Wiimotes in those gel-molds can take a lot of damage. Like, say... from a wall.

Several times.

[JCvgluvr]

Use the Start Trick!

[The Damned]

It's not dealing out the damage that's hard, it's the jumping. I'm used to the GameBoy version's jumping.

Also, he slides a bit when he lands, so it's kind of... odd. I guess they changed little things here and there over the years and games.

I also keep trying to slide under things. :|
