Mega Man 2 for Wii VC

[The Damned]

It is good.

That is all.

[Bleck]

why exactly is Mega Man 2 the best one again

I have never played it mostly due to disinteres,t but I have 1300 Wii Points so you could all theoretically convince me to splurge on Mega Man and Mega Man 2.

[The Damned]

It's got some of the better Mega Man music. It's somewhat easier than Mega Man 1 (at least, I find it easier). I'm on Robot Master 6 and I've only had to go through about six continues, whereas Mega Man... I have yet to get past four. Even with guides and maps to give me some help, I suck at Mega Man 1.

Also, if you don't, you're a fag. A gay fag. A gay fag who likes to do homosexual things. With other fags.

Who are gay.

Mega Man 2 is good, but wait until Mega Man 9 comes on WiiWare. It will be awesome! :-P

Mega Man 2 is definitely a classic, and what many consider to be the first "true" Mega Man game, in that it took what the first game had and made it better in almost every way (gameplay, music, 8 robot masters, items, etc). It set a new standard to the series that many feel has yet to be upheld by any subsequent title.

I personally feel Mega Man 3 did to 2 what 2 did for 1, and is my personal favorite in the series, but 2 is definitely the most popular. Either way it's incredibly fun, and worth many playthroughs. I think Mega Man 1 is missable, but I'd definitely check 2 out.

[Faulken]

That wicker man megaman vid with the bees amused me immensely xD

Megaman 2 is awesome, I've played through that game a ridiculous amount of times and just never get tired of it.
I really wish they'd hurry up with Megaman 3 on the Virtual Console, but at least there's Megaman 9 to look forward to. Probably get it on PS3 though, unless it's released horifically later, because of the doubtfulness of Nintendo offering any solution to the memory limitations of the Wii. Besides, HDMI 8 bit? Seems just crazy enough to work...

Does 9 actually have a release date yet?

[The Damned]

The 22nd, I believe.

MM2 also has a sweet fan-album arrangement, courtesy of The Megas (http://themegas.com/). One of the tracks from that CD is on the site already (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01687/).

[JCvgluvr]

Sweetness!!! I'm gonna grab this and SMRPG ASAP!

[Gollgagh]

I suck at Mega Man 1.

Also, if you don't, you're a fag. A gay fag. A gay fag who likes to do homosexual things. With other fags.

Who are gay.

Gay because we're awesome.

[atmuh]

2 is far from the best

[BardicKnowledge]

Of the 8-bit titles, methinks 3 is the best. After replaying 7 a few weeks ago, I have to concede to Atmuh that it has the best music. I'm still biased for 2&3 in that regard, but if I didn't have any nostalgia factor, I'd agree with him.

You know what? I say fuck Megaman. I suck so bad at those games, I can literally feel my e-peen shrink every time I boot one of them up. Little blue bastard, I swear he blows up spontaneously just to piss me off.

I'm from the SNES generation. MegaMan X represent. That's one of my favorite games of all time. Oh and it's mad easy so I can feel like I kick ass when I play it. At least it's mad easy after 35 playthroughs.

[Bleck]

I've actually got to agree with Shadow Wolf - I enjoy playing a partly difficult game like MMX and eventually beating it then playing a hard as fuck game like MM and basically losing forever until I practice it - at which point it becomes sad because video games shouldn't have to be 'practiced' unless they are FPSs.

[The Damned]

That was the thing back then, though. they didn't have fancy AI routines or pathways or any of that stuff we have now. The difficulty of a game was determined by what they could make the machine do. Games had to be practiced to win them; the only other way to do it was to get a cheat device.

One day, when you're old, some kid will talk about some game you liked and say how hard it was. Then you can remember this topic and tell them about how in the old, old days, games were ruthless in their rigid, cold difficulty.

Now get the hell of my lawn and get a haircut, ya hippy. Ya look like a woman. Maybe a tour in 'Nam will smarten ya right up.

[I-n-j-i-n]

Sorry, but I think this game is just far too ancient. MM2 was the turning point, but MM3 just had the most going for it since you basically fight 16 robot bosses and the story was just amazing with the introduction of Protoman.

I wish the MM developers made the game easier.

[gamermcchester]

Mega Man 2 is the best one i think. Classic. I will definitely be getting this on my friend's wii so I can play through it. It's not a hard game; you just have to "learn" it. So it takes a little bit of time.

Mega Man 2 Final Stage music is the SHIT. My favorite MM track out of any.

[Deathtank]

was I the first to finish his Megamen in the Genesis with The Wily Wars? it may be not much but playing from 1 to 3 with better sound and graphics was a very good way to start with Megaman!
Have a look at it!

And here you can listen to the music without the annoying voice!

[Schwaltzvald]

You pussies who can't even handle the simplicity of the old MM games are the cancer of good games...

>:L

I also like to add that despite 2's fun factor, I'd say 3 was the turning point as mentioned earlier, especially since MM3 arguably is the longest of the series as well as possibly the hardest if you don't know what you're doing...

4 (personal favorite) just tweaked it a little more with the addition of a charged shot as well as nearly impossible to beat bosses without the right weapon. (1 or 2 of them at least)


I can still beat pharoah man with just the buster cannon though... :)!!

[Ray Falling]

I liked MM2 for the original Gameboy better to be honest. 0_0; They're quite different too.

I got MM2 for VC a while back, but I couldn't get past a certain point, simply because I lost patience. I think it had something to do with timed jumps on fading blocks.

I had no problems getting through the GB version back in the day.

[Schwaltzvald]

I just realized something, for those having real problems actually getting through Megaman 2 (really shouldn't), go play Megamari, comparing the bullshit the characters Marisa Kirisame and Alice Margetroid got to go through and Megaman in MM2, MM2 is much easier...

[I-n-j-i-n]

MM2 does have a few trouble spots though. Namely the dragon and the beams of light that can kill instantly. It's much less forgiving than MM3, and that's why I think MM3 is the more fun and complete game. Though MM3 has its share of tough boss battles and crazier gauntlet of boss robot battles.

[Shadow Wolf]

Honestly though, I've beaten 3 through 6, with 4 being my favorite personally. It wasn't so much a problem with MegaMan2, but the first game I think had some serious control issues. Simply put, he didn't jump far enough. Capcom would put that next platform you needed to get to at the absolute bleeding edge of your jump range, and sometimes beyond. So you had to invent workarounds to even continue playing the game. Nostalgia doesn't get in my way on this one, so I'm willing to call that bad design that detracts from the fun factor of the game.

for fucking serious

I can't even get through the damned levels, much less beat the bosses

[Drack]

I agree with injin here somewhat. Having notalgia for none of the early mm games, I played them all in succession several years back. I liked 2, 3, and 6, with 3 being the best.

MM2 is a fantastic game, but it lacks the SLIDE! MM3 had a lot going for it, in the slide, the "do harder versions of 4 stages," the better wily fight, protoman, and the exclusion of that one nigh impossible crash man bomb puzzle (with the turrets, FUCK that one, you KNOW what I'm talking about).

[Elex Synn]

the exclusion of that one nigh impossible crash man bomb puzzle (with the turrets, FUCK that one, you KNOW what I'm talking about).

LMAO yes I know exactly what you're talking about. Turns out you needed to use one of your non-robot master abilities to really get around. I didn't find this out until 5-10 years later -_-

Though I do feel MM2 set up the real basic outline about how the other MM games would be, MM3 was definitely the "final blueprint". Besides who didn't think shadow man was cool as hell back in the day?

Pretty much...MM4's Ring Man was particularly difficult, the way I remember it. Ahh, the good days, when I accidentally dropped down the hole in Dive Man's level only to find Wire. Good times.

Still need to pick up MM2 on VC...

[Triad Orion]

I like 2 a lot. 3 is probably the better game overall, considering it has a better mix of useful weapons (aside from the ungodly powerful Metal Blade), but personally, 2 is my favorite. I like the bosses, I love the music, and it's just a lot of fun in general. Yeah, it's a bit antiquated even compared to Mega Man 3 and that Dragon boss and Crash Bomb puzzle are retardedly cheap. But in spite of it, 2 is a game I truly enjoy.

Oddly enough, I've beaten Mega Man 3, but never Mega Man 2. I blame the damn dragon. XD

Also, I Wanna Be The Guy is pure masochism by comparison to ANY Mega Man game. Period. The game is so stupidly, retardedly hard that it's hilarious. Well, that and some of the traps are just so out there and random you can't help but laugh.

[Bleck]

I've beaten I Wanna Be The Guy and I've never beaten Mega Man or Mega Man 2

[JCvgluvr]

Man, there are a lot of wusses running around here. MM2 is hard? Come on! We're not talking about Contra or Super Monkey Ball...MM2 is only moderately difficult. It's not even the hardest one of the Classic Series!

[GigaShadow]

Besides who didn't think shadow man was cool as hell back in the day?

His coolness is somewhat negated by the fact that his weakness is TOP SPIN, for christ's sake.

It's not true.

His weakness is NOTHING.

Well, maybe chuck norris... I never used top spin, for obvious reasons...

So.
Megaman 9, or 2? or is there another one I should hold out for?

Mega Man 4 was the one in the series I grew up with. Such an awesome game with great music. My favorite out of the first 4. Then 7 and 8 are really good; grew up with those too. 9 will probably be so sexy too. 1, 2, and 3 I didn't play until much later in life (i.e. emulators).

I grew up with all the Super NES Mega Man X's too.

[VerSus22]

I'm going for Mega Man 9, since its a new challenge.

DLC should have interesting stuff as well. :-)

[Penfold]

Played and beat Mega Man 2 last night, in anticipation for MM9. I've gotta say, it's not nearly as tough as I recall (had the toughest time with Wood Man, of all bosses)...it was a lot of fun!
