Mega Man is awesome, isn't it? If you like all things related to the Blue Bomber (or that have his name plastered on the title, even if he's not in it), then let us discuss it here!

Megaman battle network? anyone here like it? :unsure:

Uhh, yes! ^_^ Very much!
Never beat one though, I was always stuck looking for one stupid chip... >:\
Megaman Zero 4 is coming out Oct. 4! :o Didn't even hear about it.



If any of you out ther play Megaman, you know that (apart from the godly Megaman Vs. Bass) Megaman Zero is pretty much the most awesome and hardest one out there. Well, now we have a sequel to the series... truly amazing.

Taking MMZ's play style and MMX's style, the Rockman-like male and (much-needed) female protagonists Vent and Aile star in this dramatic new addition to the MMZ series. Instead of pinning on more and more and more boring repeats of the same game, MMZX switches it up, hopping to new protagonists and new gameplay techniques mid-series to give it that extra umph. Now you can look like your enemies again! Pwnage.

And in this Megaman Game: MEGA PANTS!



Pic from VGCats.com, but it's a real pic.

I saw a preview for the anime of this. It looks like this could be really cool. ^_^

Though on that subject of anime... I really wanna see a series for the classic Megaman (I know they already had that 3 part OVA, but that's not enough), plus a series for Megaman X.

Anywho, this game looks cool, too... I really need a DS, now, too many good games coming out for it. And also a PSP... not that many good games for PSP, but they do have Megaman Powered-Up.

I've seen that before. Very nice game, I've already preordered it. But who knows what they'll say instead of 'Rock on!' in the game?

Now that I think about it, I think that preview I saw wasn't for an anime series... it was just cutscenes from the game... oops, my bad. ^_^;

Okee dokee. Well, since I've really been in a Megaman mood lately, I'll bite.

BlueRush... tell me everything you know about Rockman.EXE! I'm willing to give it a chance, I suppose... ^_^;

Go, BR!

Use "Tell me everything you know!"

Megaman Battle Network fainted!

Hmm... OK!

First off: it's like Pokemon! XD
In a way.

The star is Lan and his friends Mayl and Dex. In this world, most everyone has a PET, a Personal Electronic... uh... Thing. <.<; Point is, this PET is better than a computer in that it not only surfs the internet, but it gets mail and has a battling system!

Getting the mail isn't that cool, but here, surfing the internet and battling is done through a digital person, the official term for which I forget! But this digital person travels the internet (in this case a glowing, awesome environment) and can fight (using battle chips). Megaman.EXE is Lan's PET, Roll is Mayl's, Crunchman Dex's, etc.

So Lan runs about his world in a 3rd-person, Link-like, Pokemon-like style, and talks to people and collects things. Every now and then somebody will fight PETs with him: Megaman vs. Metalman, for example. And sometimes he goes to a port and connects his PET to the internet, or to a machine, and Megaman (who is his own, sentient being) travels inside this world just like Lan in the real one, except in this world everyone's digital and the world is glowy and awesome. He can fix your coffeemaker from the inside by killing viruses (which he runs into like wild pokemon) and/or other digital people, who are occasionally evil! Also he travels the digital world.

The battling is the best part. It combines all the best parts of pokemon, yu-gi-oh, digimon, and a real-time fight! You stack a "deck" with chips, and you get a few at random to use in battle. The battle goes in turns, and he uses these chips like moves... but he also has his blaster to fall back on...
...And it's in real-time. B) Megaman moves around 9 squares and his enemies do too! You have to be quick and move him, while choosing moves! It is seriously great. ^_^

Hmmm... interesting. Well, I kinda already knew that it was a bit like Pokemon due to there being different versions of the same game... which leads me to believe that there's probably trading involved.

I also know that unlike all the other Megaman series (which, as different as they are from one another, are actually all in the same continuity... just taking place several hundred years apart from each other), this one is actually its own continuity, taking place in an alternate reality.

Of course, I'm sure the games might be pretty fun. Heh, I dunno... the reason I've always been a bit wary of this series is because some elements of the storyline seemed like a great departure. Also, the characters look radically different from their respective dopplegangers from the main continuity. I've also wondered if they act differently, as well.

>_> I've seen people on the 'net pair up Rock and Roll from this series... I guess in this dimension they're not related, but it still weirds me out. :heh:

At the moment, I'm flat-broke, particularly since all my money lately has been invested in a trip I plan to take during mid-June. However, I might pick up one of the games once money is no longer a problem. Perhaps I might try to get into the manga, as well.

So... which game is the first one in this series and what system is it for? There's so many of these buggers out there. XD

Also, I think I remember Lan's father's name being Dr. Hikari. o.o And Hikari is the Japanese word for Light... heh. Is that guy supposed to be this dimension's version of Dr. Light?

I also heard that Dr. Wily is in this series. What is this version of Wily like as compared to the original Wily?

So many questions... only one BlueRush. XD

And coincidentally... I just realized, BR... although I know what your name means, it can also be a Megaman related name, too. XD

OH!! That reminds me... is Rush in this universe in any way, shape, or form? Come to think of it... I wonder how many characters are paralleled into this dimension...

1. The only trading involved is for rare chips (moves).

2. It's not clear if this is a different universe. There is a time gap between Original and X, and between X and Zero. In between these serieses are indeterminate spans of time in which humans lived in peace and Megaman and co. weren't around. They make no references to these other series, but it's not a closed door.
Though it likely happened before X.

3. They don't act differently! Well, I guess they do. XD X was always more serious, and Zero less... uh... virusy. XD They're different from the later series, but I don't know much about the originals.

4. Uh, yeah! ^_^ Rock/Roll! The other way around is odd for me, I have to remember Roll is his sister in the other series. Though, to be noted, except for the Zero Virus, which later comes to be affiliated with Zero, as far as I know these *NetNavis* (I remembered!) are not officially connected with the originals, so as far as I know they have different minds.

5. I have never read the manga or watched the show.

6. The first game is simply "Megaman Battle Network." ^_^

7. Maybe, Dr. Hikari is a scientist but he has no beard and is young.

8. Dr. Wily is the leader of NetCrime organization WWW.

9. I used to have a Blue Rush in my sig. XD

10. I haven't seen any hint of Rush since the original series. Also, Megaman, Roll, Gutsman, Bass, Zero, Protoman, MetalMan... and more, I'm sure. ^_^

Anything else? :D

There's been sources stating this is an alternate reality, but now that you've said that it's very ambiguous... and thereby, it might be in the continuity of all the other series... this brings some interesting things to the surface.

Though... now I think this is diving into coming up with theories rather than anything else. ^_^;

So... assuming for just a moment that this isn't an alternate reality... is this Dr. Wily related to the other Dr. Wily? Is he, perhaps, either a descendant OR an ancestor (depending on whether this is before or after the Classic series).

If this isn't an alternate reality, like I highly suspect it is, then I'm more akin to think that it definitely takes place after the Classic series and not before it. That being the case... are the NetNavis really based on the robots of a past long forgotten? Who created the NetNavis and is it just coincidence or is it intentional that they have the same names as the robots of a past long forgotten?

And going back to the whole Wily thing... heh... Wily Nega. XD Sorry, had to say it!

Okay, so another thing... can the NetNavis come into the real world or are they forever bound to the internet?

That's all I can think of for the moment.

Hmm, good question. After Dr. Light (the original) sealed his creation X into a canister, it was 100 years before Cain revived him and production of the Reploids who would become the Mavericks even began. There is no recorded history in that time. Was X's 'soul' really sleeping inside the robot all that time? Is Megaman X an updated Megaman or a different robot altogether? If so, where did Megaman go?

Interesting to note:

1. Later on in the Zero series, X becomes a "Cyber Elf," a tiny energy creature who is pure data... like a NetNavi... except this time, he floats around.
2. Megaman Legends is as alternate-universe as you can get... but... the creators set it thousands of years into the future. They seem reluctant to leave their continuity.

Anyway! No, NetNavis never enter the 'real' world. ^_^

Heh, now I can answer something! XD

What happened to the original Megaman? Heh... my latest fancomic, The Dawning, is actually all about that! Hmmm... but I need to finish it first! XD

However, canonically, nobody knows what happened to Megaman or any of the other Light robots. However, it is FACT that X is NOT Megaman. Keiji Inafune (the creator of Megaman) has stated this himself.

And, ya, for a long time I always wondered about Megaman Legends, but it actually is part of the main continuity... just... it takes place after everything else. However, I have some theories about this one.

As all good little Megaman playing children know, the Megaman in Megaman Legends, just like X, is NOT the original Megaman. Before I played the game, I was a little confused about this myself, because unlike X, this guy actually is named Megaman. HOWEVER... he doesn't get this name right away. His name was actually Trigger, but Roll Casket gave him the name Megaman, because that was the name of a character in her favorite video game. Now, as to there being a Megaman video game in this universe... it's possible that, although we know that written history was, for some reason, wiped out in-between the Classic series and the X series, perhaps someone kept a record of the original Blue Bombers exploits. Somehow, this in turn would eventually become a video game that Roll Casket really likes!

Yes! Thus, Roll becomes a big Megaman fan and names Trigger Megaman because he wears blue armor! As for Roll being named Roll... there's 2 possibilities:

1) It's just a big fat coincidence OR (and I like this next one better)...

2) Roll isn't her real name, but she likes to go by it since she's a Megaman fan!

Man... talking about Megaman is fun! I haven't done this in such a long time! XD

EDIT: Since we're starting to discuss other Megaman series and... well, because I like doing this... I've decided to merge the different Megaman topics.

I love Mega Man since I was a kid. I know something Interesting you know what that is?

CPOC told me: They are not going to make mega man as fun & old series I guess anymore I really really upset & mad at CAPCOM & same with Street Fighter Games too. What's with Capcom know days?

Does anybody know?

I don't remember ever saying that (what little bit of that I could decipher), but if I did say that then I was horribly mistaken. :p

As DP accidentally made me aware of, Mega Man 9 is going to be full of retro goodness.

So, to celebrate the occasion, here's a bunch of videos!


First off, the obligatory Okkusenman related videos.

Sorry, guys, but it's just that there's not really a whole lot of information on Mega Man 9 at the moment (outside of the little bit I mentioned in Chatty-Chat), but I'm so totally stoked about it and had to post something.

Hmmm... well, I guess I could also mention that Mega Man's 20th Anniversary was last year. Dunno how many people were aware of it, but...



Okay, I think that's all I have to post for now.

Curses to your thread bumping getting the cartoon's theme stuck in my head!!

And you forgot I Can't Sleep Until I Clear! (Kuria made nemuranai <-- I believe that's what it is in Japanese)

EDIT: Also this :ENDEDIT

(are those remixes of megaman tunes, though? I don't know every tune off the top of my head, which is why I ask :heh: )

Heh... the cartoon's theme is pretty catchy, though.

At any rate, I wasn't aware of those two songs and, in addition, they don't seem to sound like any Mega Man tune that I've ever heard. They're pretty cool, though.

Also, I found something interesting... a fanmade 8-bit version of the Rockman 8 theme. Dare to compare:

8-bit Version

This would be considered a double-post of justice! Because now I actually have something relevant to MM9 to post!

Although you can only barely see them, you can make out official art of two of the robot masters from Mega Man 9. Concrete Man and Splash Woman:





Speaking of which, is anyone else surprised that there's finally a female robot master?

Anywho, we've already seen the teaser trailer. Now here's a slightly longer trailer:

[dohtml]<embed src='http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf' flashvars='object_ID=14260822&downloadURL=http://wiimovies.ign.com/wii/video/article/888/888020/mm9multidebu_flvlow.flv&allownetworking="all"' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='433' height='360' ></embed>[/dohtml]

Megaman 9:

Opening story part

Gameplay in one of the levels (though I could probably play better than whoever was in control in that video, and I'm horrible at Megaman games :LOL: )

Chun-Li as an anchorwoman is just total epic lulz! :LOL:

And ya, the guy playing this demo seems to be a total n00b. Also, I believe that is Concrete Man's stage (don't quote me on that, though).

And I think this might be Plug Man's stage:

[dohtml]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OyiidU3aYzw&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OyiidU3aYzw&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/dohtml]

I think this seems appropriate, considering the video of an 8-bit version of the MM8 opening on this page... (quoted from OCR thread about it)

Ah, yes, I've heard about this game. I'm a little saddened that the intro stage and middle stage were taken out. However, other than that, I think everything was done quite perfectly.

The same person/people is/are also working on an 8-bit version of Rockman 8. I think he/she/they wanted to finish Rockman 7 first, though.

I'd love it if these games were translated into Mega Man 7 and Mega Man 8. :) I'd love it even more if they were made playable on a real NES, but somehow I doubt that's possible when you stop to take many things into consideration.

As for Rockman 8 FC, there's been a little progress so far and my favorite portion of this progress would be the music.

3 bosses from Mega Man 9 have been revealed in detail.

Where the heck did you find all these clips they are so bad ass!!!! Thanks CPOC!!!....

I won't to keep the Mega Man 9 a Secret to me I don't won't to know to much about the game.

I don't have any news regarding Mega Man 9 or anything, but I do want to share some good news. I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico! I just received my "R20 Rockman & Rockman X Complete Works" artbook in the mail today! :)

It's truly awesome. Oh my gosh, SO much Mega Man art!

Holy crap, I was such a Legends n00b back then. There are SO many things I said that are grossly inaccurate. XD

But, then again, it's not entirely my fault. The American localization was SO SCREWED UP that it's no wonder I was so horribly confused about so many things.

At any rate, I posted a rant at the Capcom-Unity board. Specifically in the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom forum, actually. I'm posting it here for anyone that cares to read it (and also for posterity, in case it ever gets deleted over there). It's something I've ALWAYS wanted to rant about. It's Mega Man Legends related. It's about Rock Volnutt's name. I'll copy and paste it below this line. I warn you, though... it's pretty lengthy.

[dohtml]
<img src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8311/dash13782.jpg" style="float: left;" width="327" height="640" /></p><br /><p>For those of you that think that this is too much text and would rather just tl;dr it, the short version is that I prefer the name "Rock Volnutt" or even "Mega Volnutt" as opposed to the name that's used in the translation, which is "Mega Man Volnutt". If you're still interested in knowing why this is or how it's important, then continue reading (but be warned that there's Mega Man Legends spoilers)...</p><br /><p>So, anyway, I feel a little crazy for starting this thread, since a part of me says that most people will consider this a minor detail that isn't worth mentioning. But as an avid Mega Man fan and someone who truly enjoys the Mega Man Legends series, the name "Mega Man Volnutt" always bugged me, due to how it contradicts many aspects of the plot from the Mega Man Legends games. Whether or not this topic moves things in any direction or not, I'll at least have the satisfaction of knowing that I vented about this and that people have heard my viewpoint on the matter. I could probably just as easily voice this on the Mega Man forum, but seeing as how TvC is the first game in about a decade to feature this character and be localized, I thought it'd be most fitting to post this here.</p><br /><p>Now, I've known others that have shared my thoughts and feelings on this, but I still wouldn't be surprised to find out that I was in the minority. Regardless, the fact of the matter is that the name "Mega Man Volnutt" really bugs me. Before I get into why, I'd like to make a quick review of this character and his different names. One aspect of the character is that he has had two different lives. In the Japanese version of the series, his two identities are "Rockman Trigger" and "Rock Volnutt", whereas the American localization has them as "Mega Man Trigger" and "Mega Man Volnutt". What's important to note is that in his second life, Rock is considered to be a carbon (his true identity in his past life being a big twist in the story), and without getting into too much detail about what a carbon is, it's basically a human being. There's a lot more to it than that, actually, but all of that is unimportant to my argument. The important thing to note is that a carbon, in the Legends series, is essentially a "normal person". And everyone looks at Rock this way. When Barrel Caskett found Rock as an infant and adopted him, he gave him the name "Rock Volnutt". It's the name of a bystander, not of a super hero. I always felt the American localization took away from this by changing "Rock Volnutt" to "Mega Man Volnutt", robbing the character of his humanity. Although this is a messy analogy, picture Bruce Wayne's name actually being "Batman Wayne" or Peter Parker's as "Spider-Man Parker".</p><br /><p>Another thing to look at is that in the Legends series, "Mega Man" is more a title than an actual name (as evidenced by Mega Man Juno). Having Rock be named "Mega Man" in BOTH of his lives seems to really downplay the dual-identities, as well as soften the blow of what should be a startling revelation towards the end of the first Legends game.</p><br /><p>So, having said all that, I'd like to say that even though all of that is already said and done in the already released Legends games, I think it'd still be cool if his name were correctly localized for the American release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. While I realize that the name might be kept "Mega Man Volnutt" for the sake of consistency with what's been shown in the localizations for the Mega Man Legends games already, there's actually already been inconsistencies there, anyway. The following excerpt points this out:</p><br /><address><em>In the original Japanese version, the main character is called "Rock Volnutt" (in the Japanese version of the Classic series, Dr. Thomas Light originally named his creation "Rock", instead of "Mega"). Each time the character is mentioned by name, he is always referred to as "Rock". In the North American versions, all mentions and/or references to his original name are replaced by "Mega Man". While this has been the case in the previous series, in the case of the DASH/Legends series, this may actually be a localization error; his weapon is referred to (in the dialogue) as the "Mega Man Buster" (in the menu screens, it is referred to as the more "correct" sounding "Mega Buster"), while his "full" name is constantly displayed (and heard) as "Mega Man Volnutt". Also, in the ending credits of Mega Man Legends 2, "Mega Man" is simply referred to as "Rock".</em></address><br /><p>So, as you can see, there was already inconsistencies (one might even say contradictions) present in the localization. So, I don't think it'd be a bad thing if either "Rock Volnutt" or "Mega Volnutt" were to be used in TvC, in place of "Mega Man Volnutt".</p><br /><p>Before I wrap this up, I just want to point out a bit of plot that takes place in-between Legends 1 and Legends 2. This is from Namco x Capcom, and is worth mentioning because I feel it does pretty well to distinguish that Rock's two names are definitely supposed to seem quite different from each other:</p><br /><address><em>"<span style="font-style: italic;">Rockman Juno introduces himself without any memory of the DASH1 events. Roll wonders who it is. Tron and Rock however are immediately alarmed by his presence as he is the one Rock fought inside of the Main Gate. It seems that as a result of the DASH1 events, Juno's previous body was destroyed by Rock and his memory was almost completely erased by Data. His current self is a new Rockman Juno with only portions of his memory restored because the reconstructive process did not entirely succeed. (The reconstruction was carried over by crossover character </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://strider.classicgaming.gamespy.com/Meio.html">Grand Master Meio</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> who became interested in the technology used to create Juno. He also seems to be responsible for Juno's new body.)</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2190/megamanlegendsbyoctoroc.jpg" style="float: right;" width="423" height="640" />Rock knows he has to destroy Juno before he regains his memory, as Juno would attempt to wipe out the Decoys again. Over time, Juno begins to realize he met and fought Rock before, Rock's strong emotional responses toward Juno also motivate him to regain his lost memory. As Juno's memory recovers, Roll too is informed about the mysteries of Rock's past. The name Rockman Trigger is brought up and Juno notes that it is significant, he also begins to speak to Rock as his superior "Lord Rockman Trigger." (Rockman Trigger-sama?)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Juno plans to reinitialize the Decoys of Earth using Eden and by the magic of crossover he's conducting an experiment to enhance Eden's area of effect beyond regional scope, able to terminate all Decoys on the planet. Juno however is constantly met with resistance and begins showing irregular behavior, his logic systems seem defected as he starts blaming others for own failure. Rock questions him about it not even aware of the meaning of the term, despite realizing this is what is happening to Juno. </span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Having turned completely irregular according to Rock, Juno completes his experiment and gives us previously unknown information about the nature of Eden.<br /><br />The final battle between Juno and Rock finally occurs, Juno regains his memories and realizes Rock's memory isn't complete either. Roll's interested in knowing what this "Rockman Trigger thing" is. And Juno explains Rock is Rockman Trigger: Purging Officer First Class. Roll questions who Rock is and Rock has to reassure her that he is himself, his name is Rock Volnutt. Rock defeats Juno and says his final farewell to him.</span>"</em></address><address><br /></address><br /><p>So, I feel that Rock Volnutt's name is more than just a minor detail. I just don't feel that the name "Mega <em>Man</em> Volnutt" does the character (and the plot from the series he's from) justice. Even if asking for his name to be "Rock Volnutt" is too much to ask for, I still feel that even "Mega Volnutt" is more than adequate.</p><br /><p>No matter what the outcome is, I still fully support Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars and definitely plan on buying it upon its release regardless of what Rock Volnutt's name will be in the localization. But, I just wanted to voice my opinion on the matter. While I hope that my words may have swayed someone at Capcom, I'm perfectly fine with having just gotten this out in the open. Thank you for your time.

Discuss. (I'm so gawd awful at making topics)

One thing I'm happy about is that EXE is back. I really have no problem with the Starforce series, so a Battle Network/Starforce game crossover is just fine with me. What do you guys think?

I've merged this thread with the existing one.

Anywho, hmmm... interesting. A Mega Man game that's a crossover between two different Mega Man series. That sounds pretty cool. However, I honestly never really cared much for either the Battle Network (EXE) or the Star Force (Ryusei) games at all. I do really dig the setting and storyline for Star Force, but not the actual gameplay.

So, while I think this seems like a cool concept, I can't say that I, personally, am very excited, since I've never found either of these series very fun to play. Maybe if this game played more like the traditional gameplay associated with the franchise, I'd be a little more excited. I dunno, I really hate stating my opinions of things I don't like but other people do, but this is just my own feelings regarding this.

When you say "played more like the traditional gameplay", do you mean somewhat like the Classic Megaman series? Because if so there was a game for the Gamecube called "MegaMan Network Transmission" that played sorta like the Classic Megaman Series.

I am aware of that game and I rented it once. But I can't say I cared much for that game, either. I wish I could remember what it was about it that I didn't like, but it was such a long time ago that I played it. I do remember it being a more traditional Mega Man game in terms of gameplay (at least in comparison to the other Battle Network games), but for some reason I didn't like it. Hmmm, if only I could more clearly remember the game, I might be able to tell you why I didn't seem to care for it.

Recent discovers show that TS loves this now

Details at a later date

I've actually known about that game for a while now. It does seem pretty interesting, as it's the first time ever that there's a crossover between two Mega Man series (in this case, Battle Network with Star Force).

Hmmm... I'll admit, out of the Battle Network series, I've only played the Game Cube game "Network Transmission", and I didn't like it. But after doing some research, even a lot of fans of the Battle Network series don't seem to like it very much. And I've seen the Star Force anime and have liked it. So... maybe I'll give this game a shot. If I like it, I might go back and try the other portable Battle Network and Star Force games.

In other Mega Man news, in addition to already having Rock Volnutt from the Mega Man Legends series and Roll from the classic Mega Man series, Zero (don't know if it's his MMX form or his MMZ form yet) will be a character in the American version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, as well as Frank West from Dead Rising (who has two super moves that have references to the Mega Man series).

I lol'd XD Servbot Head Smaaaaaash

I also heard that a lot of people who liked the EXE series didnt like Network transmission. And I dont understand why. I personally didnt have any problems with the game. I liked that it was somewhat similar to the original Megaman games, and the chip system thing provided a little twist on things that I enjoyed.

Anyways, I must go to bed. I have school in like 5 hours

And just recently, someone else has been revealed to be a playable character in "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars"... and I seriously am, like, UBER happy about it! :w00t:

....Raaaaage.....

I has it

I'm sorry, I have a passionate dislike for the X series. I suppose it's super special awesome that Zero's there, but...c'maaaawn...

But that's still awesome XD

Woah, seriously? Why is that? ^_^;

Dont get the wrong idea, I'm happy that another Megaman character is in the game, but...never quite connected with the X series ^^' Just wasnt my type of game...although it doesnt explain why I like teh Z and ZX series' so much more...I'm afraid I cant explain it too well .-.

First off I have to say that Megaman is completely awesome. The original games and even the cartoon show wasn't bad. My only problem is that I suck at those games. But I just played one for ds that was the coolest.... can't remember which one though. It's like you meet this blue alien thingy and become megaman and travel through warps and stuff.... then you get the power of one of three godly things depending on which version of the game you have. But yea... it was cool.

^Sounds like you're talking about one of the Star Force games.

Anywho...

MEGA MAN 10 IS COMING!!

I'm so glad Mega Man 10 is finally coming. Now everyone that thinks that Mega Man X is Mega Man 10 can just shut up. Seriously, X was the main character's name, and it makes no sense to release Mega Man 10 in the same year that they release Mega Man 6. But, ya, enough about that. Whoo! Mega Man 10 is coming!

Huh...

Never expected it. I heard of it from a LPer I watch, and honestly, it looks good by the trailer.

...But...sheep man? Sheep man? Really, Capcom?
