EPG Review: Mega Man Classic Series (Eight "Mini" Reviews in One) 

ThePieMaster im ok with that, im tired of 5 minute reviews that doesnt tell anything

To be fair, his normal reviews are around 40 to 50 minuets long.

ThePieMaster NicoB* 30 minutes*

I've changed the title to "EPG Review: Mega Man Classic Series (Eight "Mini" Reviews in One)" so that it better represents the content of the video.

I wanne let you know that I really appreciate your work Exo. Like many other I live a great deal of nostalgia while watching your videos, while they are also pretty interesting to my mind aswell. I especially like rewatching them. keep up the good work and I'm really hyped for the new remake or rebreak not only because its my favorite series of yours but also will be the longest one ??! (1.5/2 hours +??) Edit : By saying I think your videos are interesting to me, I mean that imo you can communicate your opinion in such way that its easy to work with it and reflect in my mind. In short I like how you criticize and talk about things.

Okay, question: where are episodes 1 for DKC1 and DKC2 playthroughs on your channel? Both start at episode 2.

Good question! The first episodes were uploaded on this review channel to try to advertise the let's play channel. You can find them both in the respective playlists on the Let's Play Channel. Though it's probably time I reuploaded them to the other channel.

ExoParadigmGamer speaking of Donkey Kong is the gameboy color version of DKC going to be in the mediocre marathon

My God, you're right! Those games are the core of the classic canon. I've made a horrible mistake!

ahbeef Pixelmusement covered BOTH on his Ancient DOS games series. Would you like links to those videos?

*opportunity* You gonna do the bleh flash game "Save Doctor Light" too? It has Zelda 2 Link in it.

@@ExoParadigmGamer That's actually a good chance to do an EPG review on them too.

​@@ExoParadigmGamerAlso mega man 2 on the gameboy it has one of the best video game soundtracks of all time

NintendoGamerChris Don't forget "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" *G E T A L O A D O F T H I S !*

I think Sonic Adventure has underpowered English voice acting, so why is it so enjoyable? BECAUSE IT IS QUOTABLY HILARIOUS!!!!!! “Oh no!” “You are completely surrounded!” “Watch out! You’re gonna crash! Aah!” “Get a load of this!” “Froggy!” “Aw yeah! This is happening!” “Muahahahaha! You know nothing fool! It’s Chaos! The God of Destruction! Ha ha ha!”

@@kieranstark7213 "Aw Tails, what am I gonna do with you?"

I mean, in Exo's defense and the defense of others who criticize the English Dub of the Sonic Adventure series (which I define as Adventure-06, personally, since the titular duology is a duology in name only, seeing as Adventure 2-Shadow the Hedgehog are a collective self-contained story rather than consequential follow-ups to the first Adventure game outside of references), because English voice acting in video games didn't have a standard in Gens 5 and 6 outside of RPGs or Metal Gear Solid, be it dialogue or line delivery. Plus, Ryan Drummond, Jason Griffith, and now Deven Mack are really just emulating Jaleel White's performance in the DiC shows, whereas Roger Craig Smith provides his own performance to stand out from the cast.

Cosmic Crown I like 4 alot as well (even though the story is not good), though personally I don't like seven that mutch, if you like it cool, you can give it enough time and patience to like it as a good game, I can appreciate that.

@@farisweiss2373 How is 4’s story any worse than the other nes games lol

It’s very difficult

Mac Blackledge it's much better than 2 or 3

Brett Ellis FINALLY someone gets it.

Michał G Pretty much everyone who actually analyzes games thinks so

Brett Ellis I was not aware of that. I only saw this , Somecallmejohnny's reviews and some mixed opinions in comments. The game has always seemed much more solid than 2 and 3 to me (no major nonsense such as Boobeam Trap or some of the Doc Robots fights), which most consider vastly superior. And unlike 5 and 6, it has actual challenge.

Michał G because most fans rely on nostaglia

Hopefully you haven't been waiting too long. I'm going to try to get the next one out within the next few weeks if I can!

Mish Koz 3 was a lot more innovative than 2. Sliding so Mega Man can dodge attacks and move faster, Rush the robot dog rather than the "Items" of MM2 and the Magnet beam from MM1, Weapon icons, and a bit more. Don't forget the cheats you can fuck around with!

You have a point about 3 being too rushed. If it had way more time there would of had a decent Wily Castle and the Doc Robots would of probaly been more polished. I prefer 2 by far, because that game is good throughout. 3 gets pretty lame once you beat the robot masters. Shame that it was rushed.

Mish Koz, I agree. Well, not sure about 6 being the most well designed, though that also sounds about right. Mega Man 3 was my first Mega Man game and the first I (nearly - Mom had to help with the sales tax because math fail) bought for myself, and also the first game I ever managed to beat. Oh, out of time. Short version is that Mega Man 3 *definitely* has its flaws, but most come with a silver lining. Being incomplete means bits and pieces are obviously rought *but* also means the infamous Controller II cheats were left in, and those make this one of the *best* Mega Man games to learn the series even if you've got to cut your teeth on the Charge Shot somewhere else. The Wily Stages are short and easy and... they *need* to be because the Doc Robot Stages are so long and difficult... which seems like that might be the point of those Stages. Would I love to play a more polished version of Mega Man 3? Like one where all 8 Stages were revisited *but* that meant that each only had one Doc Robot baddie to face? Maybe with some sort of reward so that it didn't feel like pure padding but instead added more depth to the game (and setting)? Of course! XD

I dont think 6 is the most well designed But 3 is certainly the best one on nes by far

William White I agree ( in terms of the classic series)

Jerzy Weiss my 2nd is 2 and 3rd is 9

My second favorite is 3 and my third favorite is powered up on the psp

+William White Same.

The Side Quest Gamer Review Show, cool. By the way which is your favorite megaman x game ( if you have played any)? Because I like Maverick Hunter X the most.

Heck, with an English patch now available for the DS remake, Battle Network 1 (or BN5) could be offered a ROR or XrossPlatform episode.

He’s never been much of an rpg fan

@@kylecampbell565then why does he think that the SNES is better than the NES?

Seriously?

feet reveal

At one MILLION subs... [pinky finger]

PokeMaster22222 Seriously

Boi he shows he’s face in every video

7 is my favorite as well. 8 is a good game in my opinion. The main criticism it gets is the voice acting, but only during cutscenes. It isn’t too bad in actual gameplay. I personally haven’t played 9 and 10, which is why I’m happy for the legacy collection 2 also.

On what system? I got the PS4 version of 1 and 2

No 7 is da wurst gaym evar

Maybe 5 and 6, but definitely not 4.

Indeed it is. I was thinking of what logos reminded me of "mini" when I read them, and the subtitles of all those Mario Vs. DK games all had "mini" in them. Seemed like the best way to go.

Nathaniel Foga well it’s a prequel to the first game, so maybe.

Yeah, I would count it.

"CAPCOM!!" We're still waiting for "Megaman Legends 3"!! :(

Yeah, I'd say so

I consider it a trilogy currently. Same as I consider MM&B to be a main game in the classic series

While I did rent Mega Man 2 a few times at the video store when I was a kid, Mega Man 3 is the first title that I owned, so it's always been the one I go back to when replaying the series. It's my personal favourite, but as the video points out, there are definitely flaws in the game. While I did like fighting the Doc Robots, the stages themselves can be quite annoying, though with the several replays I have done of the game I've made my peace with it. Also, I loved the slide mechanic, and it pains me when I can't do that in the first two titles, though Mega Man 2 has grown a lot on me over the last few decades. Also, while possibly controversial, I would've loved to have seen a remake of 2&3 much as they did with Mega Man: Powered Up for MM1, albeit with hopefully better visuals.

I'd agree that X6 and X7 are the only "bad" ones. But even X5 and X8 aren't exactly "good" if you ask me.

ExoParadigmGamer I think 5 is a decent game that while worse than most of the others is not complete garbage, and while I have not beaten 8 I am mostly done with it and I can say that 8 is o.k and made axl a fun character to play as (in my opinion), and was smart enough to have the platforming parts mostly 2d with a bit of 2.5d mixed in there for visual effects.

I more or less agree. My point was more that I find the classic series more consistently enjoyable, even if they are more samey. And like I said in the video, I also have more fundamental criticisms of the X formula that factor into my overall impressions on Classic Vs. X. That said, one of my top Mega Man games is Maverick Hunter X on PSP, so I do enjoy X when he's good.

ExoParadigmGamer Yeah, it’s okay to be wrong every now and again seeing as X>Classic

Yours and RZ's X reviews are actually what convinced me that X has a lower overall quality standard than classic.

XD

Yes, and Mega Man 10-11 as well! *shots fired*

@@kieranstark7213I don’t get it

Yeah for some reason it doesn’t bother him in SNES games. He might be biased towards the console, as he’s not a fan of the NES.

Kyle Campbell Yeah that was annoying. But not as annoying as say TheMetalBlade5 making a video just to piss someone off. And considering the end of his most recent response I'm afraid he's gonna do it again.

or as bad as rain's sequelitis on ocarina of time which was really a rant against skyward sword (he also admitted on game grumps he quit because he could never figure out bomb bowling)

Kyle Campbell Go figure. I'm still shocked that Jontron was once apart of Game Grumps. I tried watching the first episode of their Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric LP and I found the commentary so annoying that I couldn't make it through the entire video.

I think the dumbest momenet was episode 19 Arin is struggling t figure out a PINK balance beam Danny has the brilliant suggestion to use Amy. Aria status he's overthinking things and just uses the knuckles glitch to get past the "puzzle"

I'm glad he has a positive outlook on 8. 2 is overrated.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've only played the first one!! After I've beaten it and finished many of the side quest, I sadly never bothered with the sequels.. .... How are the rest of the "Battle Network" games, by the way??

BN has one of the most unique RPG gameplay styles imo.

TheHumanSonikku they all seem to be the same thing tbh

Actually batttle Network 4 is the third best selling game in the franchise. Only beaten by Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X1

@@kylecampbell565that is true however that is more to due to Japan than the west.

I haven't played it yet, but it is stupid that you can only chose 4 robot masters at the beginning.

My only guess is because it’s sort of buggy. The passwords that you get from beating bosses that isn’t like the normal order doesn’t work. At least according the Mega Man password generator website, but I have no idea. It’s just a guess
