And here I thought I was just running around stages blowing shit up cause it's fun. Guess I need some more dialog to interrupt me at every turn.
Youngest. Youngest wave.

The Cataclysm Theory is purely fanon.
It is also at this point the only story that makes sense
The story in Mega Man games is only there to contextualize the game and is peripheral to what's really important: the game itself.I would argue that the youngest waves of gamers enjoy, even need, a good story to drive the game forwards. Even I've found in some RPG or platformers with weakly told stories that about halfway through, I suddenly lose interest because I don't even know why I'm moving forwards anymore. RPG or not, people like to identify with the main protagonist these days, and I think I'm right in saying that at least a sizeable amount of people aren't necessarily going to enjoy the underlying message of the game being simply 'stop what is undoubtedly Wily again because Capcom likes money'.

The Pezman has shown me enough evidence to desire a MacBook

Only the more hardcore of Mega Man fans would even know about the hints, since you need to see the arcade Mega Man cutscenes to even know about this stuff.
or just read it on the internet like pretty much everything else

Woah, what?

I just realized Max Payne came out in 2001 and now I feel old.
Edit: FUCK YEAH MARKY MARK

Turned on as in "activated."
Yeah, that's what I meant.

Then this thread has already had some success pointing you in the direction of more delicious mixes. Hooray for community love <3
Yeah KWED is pretty awesome so far

Rather sad though that despite Rock's sense of justice, and even coming close to accepting responsibility of Dr Wily's death; chances are he will never do it. Not just because of following the laws of robotics, but following the good ethics of humanity in pure form; thus murdering Wily is out of the question, no matter how many live he possibly crushed through his wars against Light and all of humanity.
Makes sense although it seems that this was pretty much futile as it's currently accepted (at least 'till Capcom says different) that Wily turned on Zero and Zero killed him and pretty much everyone else
-
The funny this is that I knew about ThaSauce always and yet I've never heard of KWED
-
Up to 8 robots. MM1 had 6. And they were built by Light.
I've never played through 1. It's too hard.
Mega Man almost killed Wily in 7.yeah and then he didn't because that would cost capcom foreseeable $$$

From a very dedicated self righteous repliroid to a virulent mess which can be equated to a really bad roach infestation...
That is the whole point. He goes from being a villain to an infestation of something that can no longer rationally think but instead only exists to propogate itself and be a nuisance. This is why, starting with X5, the focus shifts away from Sigma as the villain.
X5: Zero is the virus and may turn evil.
X6: Gate is the bad guy. He just happens to rebuild Sigma.
X7: The bad guy is Red of Red Alert, infected with the Sigma virus. At this point, Sigma becomes less of a threat himself than his viral influence.
X8: Lumine is the bad guy and I'm pretty sure he eradicates what is left of the Sigma virus.
Any titles after X8 will most likely not have anything to do with Sigma at all.
With the Classic series, it's basically:
1-9: Wily has released eight Robot Masters and is planning to take over the world! We can capture him but he always escapes because despite trillions of dollars in damages and probably millions and millions of deaths due to his Robot Rebellions, we have somehow failed to put him to death because everyone on the planet except for Mega Man and possibly Proto Man are incompetent but they can't do it because of the Three Laws noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo also Bass!

I really hope that a tie-in with the X series isn't the only thing you'd find interesting about this game. Aren't you more influenced by a deep love/reverence for the Classic series? Isn't curiosity for a previously unheard of brand new 8 bit title a bigger draw for you?
Actually, with the exception of the music, I don't much care for the Classic series; it always seemed very slow and exceedingly difficult to me. The X, Zero and ZX series all had faster, more entertaining gameplay, with the Zero series still maintaining a challenging difficulty level. They all have much better storylines - whilst Sigma is similar to Wily in his... let's say dedication, at least there is a well explained reason for his multitude of reasons, instead of just "Oh no! He's escaped again!"
I'll even argue that the Zero series has better music.
Although if anyone wants to see an interesting take on Mega Man 7 written by one of two good authors on fanfiction.net, or an incredibly well written prequel to the Classic series by the other, I suggest flipping through these;
-
In before people complain about the new opening theme.
-
ZeroBass.Exe, it's been confirmed that the storyline will be of the classic variety, and won't feature any connections to the X series (a major disappointment)
Argh that was the only reason I cared about this.
Edit: Wait, where is the proof. Please.
-
Bizarre and depressing film.
-
Oh god here comes the opinion train.
-
Except a brand new $60 game, especially one done by Squeenix, would cost millions
what
There is great chance that many people will not recognize that Square Enix was not involved with the spin off games.If it's made quite clear on the nonprofit entries that the copyright is courtesy of Square Enix, people should be able to figure it out.

On a side note' date=' Bleck, had this been announced as the straight up original downloadable for the Virtual Console, Live Arcade or whatever PS3 uses, would you still be pissed off your rocker about it?[/quote']
No, not really. I know that the VC and LA and whatever PS3 uses aren't the companies only source of income - they can basically just tack them onto the system and watch a little money come in, instead of trying to fool people into believing that they put work into a 'remake' of it and charging them as much as any other game.

Goodbye Imagery BLECK WILL MISS YOU!

"Most gamers" would whine more if CT3 sucks than if it never gets made. Just look at the people who are still butthurt about Cross.
I thought fan reaction was mostly good
More importantly, look at the people who still bought Cross. There was no (easy) way of pirating it at the time, so it still made them a great deal of money - more than the PS1 port of Chrono Trigger did, at least.

If the upstart group gets a better following' date=' no one will care about SquareEnix's official sequel and hope for the Nonprofit guys to try their hands at their own sequel.
It's not likely but that's one train of thought that has to be going through SE's mind to pull such a move.[/quote']
Square Enix owns the right to the games. Why not let the remake come to pass and let the wave of attention shift to a sequel of their own design, whilst quenching any idea of sequel the nonprofit dudes make? Then everyone is happy, except maybe the nonprofit dudes - but they got too greedy for their own damn good.
