Mega Man 6 felt easier to me, at least compared to the other Mega Man games on the NES. Despite this, I enjoyed all the NES Mega Man games! I remember thinking Dr. Wily going to jail would have been an acceptable finale to the series if Capcom decided not to continue, but Dr. Wily doesn't stay in jail for very long based on what happens at the start of Mega Man 7 on SNES...
Not sure if it was mentioned, but the charm claw also deals more damage against giants! Its only real downside is the lower than average accuracy compared to the other claws.
Only two tips you didn't go over. 1st, by pressing up when you are on spikes, you will not take damage and can jump regularly. Second, fighting the dragon, stand about under the FE of the word life and aim up at an angle. The dragon will get hit as it flies back, and will not trigger the dragons flame attack.
OK, I've managed to watch every episode released here.... and SOMEHOW I missed this, and it's 2 YEARS OLD? Gawd dang it. Gonna be interesting to watch tho, cos I LOVED this game as a kid, and did the 2nd quest too. Used use the 2nd quest code sometimes just cos I knew the 1st quest map too well. Heck, my mum accidently found this before I did by putting ZELDA as her name..... "It IS the Legend of ZELDA after all!" We were rather confused till I heard at school what was up. LOL Edit: lol, now that you've bought it up, I do wonder too just how many poor girls named Zelda had the 2nd quest issue. lol Poor buggers. Either way, time to enjoy watching some of this before work then the rest in my lunch break!!
I beat this game once as a kid, utilizing the password system quite often, but I had no clue about the time limit on the endings so I explored the game fully (and I mean I spent hours going through certain areas throwing holy water against every brick looking for hidden clues and stuff because I couldn't figure out where to go or what to do) and as a consequence of that, I was at max level by the time I beat it and I most definitely got the "worst" ending. Very curious to revisit this classic with this video in my back pocket and see how I do. Also... It certainly didn't help my in-game timer that I would run around fighting monsters not for hearts or experience but just to keep hearing "Bloody Tears" play.
I played and loved the first one and was...disappointed after getting the second at first. The main character looked silly with big eyes and it was really hard. Eventually though I worked on it and got better equipment and beat the game. Probably 2 years after I bought it.
23:56 Funny you mentioned Stage 5 "may be the most difficult stage in the game." As a kid, I actually found it the easiest, probably because it lagged so much, it made it easier to dodge the bullets. There also aren't any walls or ground in that stage, so you can't get insta-killed as easily as in the other stages. It's the really crowded stages that I find the most difficult.
I remember I had a friend who had Wizards and Warriors the original game, I borrowed it from him one summer and honestly I don't think I ever gave it back to him. I saw this sequel a few years later at the video store for rental, and my dad rented it for me. I never got past the clouds. It was too different from the original game and I couldn't figure it out at all. This video is helping me understand a LOT that I never knew as a kid lol.
I remember getting this game in my early teens from some family member as a birthday or Christmas present one year, and despite already having an SNES, I still had my NES as well so I invested a fair amount of time in this game and even though I don't think I ever beat the entire game, I do remember fighting the 8 robot masters repeatedly on various playthroughs and I don't think I ever figured out the particular "weapon" each one was weak to and instead would beat all of them with my Mega Buster every time. This is partially because in older games in the series, certain bosses were basically invulnerable (meaning like 1 bar of health taken off by a shot from your arm cannon, versus them killing you in a few hits) if you didn't have the correct weapon, but if you did have the correct weapon, they would die in like 3 or 4 hits. Versus this game where the correct weapon often does only slightly more damage than a charged shot from the Mega Buster. Also, thanks for teaching me 30 years later that Gyro Blades can go up or down. Never knew that.
Something I never thought about when I was a kid, but I’ve really got to thinking about as an adult is, I gotta wonder where Dr. Wily gets all the money to build all these robots and castles that he builds. You know the building contractor’s especially gotta love him, paying for all those skull castles to be built that Mega Man keeps blowing up 😂😂😂
It woulda been hilarious if the Devs had Coded it that naming your Log "Zelda" had actually switched Link and Zelda's places in the game so Zelda was saving the Damsel in Distress, Link. :P
So glad you are back on Mega Man. RPGs really aren't my thing, so Ive not watched in a while. Not complaining! Happy to see you succeed with any videos, but extra happy for the ones I used to play.
Benkei is some legendary soldier who held off 40 dudes on a bridge and died standing up full of arrows to buy time for his master Yoshitsune who yeeted his family and committed seppuku so they wouldn't be taken prisoner and tortured
I was given this game as a birthday gift when I was a child and its still my favorite NES entry. Incredible soundtrack and I had a blast finding all the secrets!!
I always loved this game as a kid. I was a huge fan of reading Greek mythology when I was young, and I played both Zelda 1 and 2 frequently (I honestly liked 2 better) and my favorite Castlevania game was Simon's Quest... So this game was just super fun to me in so many ways. With that said, late in the video you said "you'd think that Apollo would give us the Moon Pearl, but nah, it's Artemis" But no, the 3 devs did their homework correctly. Apollo is god of the sun, and his twin sister Artemis is goddess of the moon. 😉
The select glitch really does ruins the game. Unfortunately, this was a real bug on the real nes hardware mega man cart. I found this glitch by accident too. This was fixed with mega man 2. I remember this glitch like if it was back in the day, with the real nes and game. There was a lot of nes games with weird glitches that slipped through. Back in the day, once a game was released, that was it, no recalls or even refund for a new copy.
You can't hide that Whomp Em cart from me I SEE YOU! Fun fact! The actor used in the NES 2 commercial shown at 2:56 is Rick Gomez who played Endless Mike in The Adventures of Pete and Pete. He also voiced Zack in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII as well as the Kingdom Hearts games!
ROBOT TOURNAMENT!!! Final 8, but only Tomahawk Man is an actual combat robot, everyone else got lucky, or something. Granted, with Wily's track record, maybe the fact that he's making crop harvesting robots is why Mega Man just rolls over him so easily.
Might as well comment on a comment in the YamatoMan section: The Benkei (Ben-K?) enemy is named for a famous Japanese warrior back around the mid-12th century who had a genre-defining last stand while holding a bridge against a small army out to get his master. He held that bridge till the bitter end, making sure that the enemy paid with many more lives than his own. This is one of those famous historical events that Japanese media loves to reference. So those Ben-K robots are made in his metallic image, barring the way to all invaders.
