I love you Balrog. Your videos are so good im writing this at 4:22, I have so much faith in u that i can confidently write this without seeing the rest. if u ever stop making videos..then I quit the internet
Bass is one of my favorite characters. I remember playing this and just hoping for Bass the whole gosh darn time. At the ass end there's a blue-print of Bass and I was like THERE IT IS! THERE IT IS! Imagine my happiness when 10 made Bass playable :D :D :D
^THIS is why I get mad when people say the Mega Man FPS looked lame. They don't know that it was going to be made by the Metroid Prime guys. Agitating...
I would've given the visuals a check plus. I know the game looks intentionally old, but it's impossible for me to not to smile at graphics. Unlike most retro games, the 8-bit style is 100% authentic, and I can't help but be charmed.
RyuuSix don't agree the reviewer saying its the hardest or that its frustrating. I think this is the best part of MM classic games. Even if the stages are hard and want to test you first with death, its not knowing whats coming next when the level scrolls to next scene I find it fun when first playing and the best part is the ongoing tryings till you learn the game by heart is what makes the game retro and nostalgic.
Wait...you said there was going to be a FPS Mega Man game made by Retro Studios? What the hell?! I would've REALLY loved to play that game considering how good Retro made Metroid Prime...
@@edward18517 Capcom (usually) have good reasons for cancelling games, with mega man universe, it was cancelled either because no one liked the design or a tsunami hit
@@elementmanexe8389 No they don't, they're Capcom. They just do things at seemingly random sometimes, and there was nothing back then about people not liking the design. They just stopped it likely because Inafune left.
The Black Hole Bomb, now featured in the epic Mega Man final smash. Another solid review as usual, both amusing and informative. It's been great following these since you first put a thread for your new channel on the 3DS Forums. You've come quite a ways since then.
"Capcom is more than done with their Blue Bomber as we know it." Has everyone forgotten about that epic comic book series that's still going on, Zero and Tron Bonne in Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mega Man Gameboy titles being ported to the 3DS under the name "Mega May", and more. I'm not dissing you, Balrog. I enjoy your videos a lot but I thought I should bring this to your attention.
12:18 Whoa,i Didn't even realize their was a Megaman zero spiritual successor game coming out! thanks for bringing my attention to this it looks awesome!
Some people add the whole skit thing in their video game reviews and I usually don't really like it that much. Balrog does it just right though :D definitely one of my favorite video game reviewers
Megaman 10's soundtrack, while not as good as 9's, still has some themes in my 10 best Megaman themes of all time... But probably wouldn't have themes in my 10 best ORIGINAL Megaman themes of all time because the DLC themes are by far the best. Specially Enker's theme, it's my favorite theme in the game. EDIT: You know the DLC themes are remixed themes from three of the first four Megaman games in the Game Boy, don't you?
I could easily been seen as part of the problem, but the Mega Man Battle Network and Star Force were my favorite games. I was never good at the 2D ones and I always preferred RPGs. All I can say is if they continued those series, Capcom would be taking my wallet right now.
Even though I grew up with NES and SNES, 9 was the first Mega Man I ever played. It took me like an hour to finally beat one stage. Then I beat the game like 10 times because it's so awesome. And the soundtrack is just fantastic
That achievement about beating the game 5 times in a day can actually be tricked. You see, it only tracks how many times the final stage is beaten, NOT how many playthroughs you've gone on. So, if you make a save right before the final level, and then use that to beat said final level 5 times in a row... well, you can probably see where I'm going with this.
I dunno, I can understand some people enjoying the simplicity more, but it over all sounds like nostalgia goggles for 2 to me. The complexity in later entries are some of my favorite aspects of the classic series; timing that charge shot just right, sliding under more interesting attack patterns, et cetera. Everything just felt far more involved to me.
I find Galaxy Man to be a good opening stage to a new player, the first half of Jewel Man is good, but once we get past the mini-boss, I can't jump from the one platform to the swinging platform!
>MegaMan 11 is hard Boy, you must be really a 8bitophile if you think so. It's FAR easier then, for example, MegaMan 9. MegaMan&Bass on the other hand...
I love mega man 9's ost, there is this awsome remix album on overclockedremix called mega man 9: back in blue, it's a remix for every song in tge game, it kicks ass
Thank goodness, I was afraid I missed out on Superhero mode. I bought everything else a loooong time ago. In any case, thanks for doing this review and it's the one that actually got me to finally subscribe to you after watching a few other reviews of yours over time. You're doing a pretty good job, sir Balrog! Also, I pissed my pants in excitement when MMV for the Game Boy FINALLY released on the eshop. I've beaten it at least 6 times since then and I'm lookin forward to a good review of that'n as well! :D
I really hope that one day you will review the Megaman spinoffs, specfically the Starforce series. I know they are pretty disliked, but they have a special place in my heart. I would love to know your opinions on them.
you know megaman 9 was on other systems right? their online leader boards weren't shut down...it still could have been mentioned...unless you didn't really look at them until recently...
Excellent review of an excellent game. I'm genuinely torn as to whether Mega Man 2 or Mega Man 9 is my favorite of the series. But I do know that X, 6, and 3 and close behind them.
I've never played this game, but the fact that they got rid of Mega Man's slide ability kinda turns me off. Nothing can top that feeling when you slide and dodge that ONE blow that's about to kill you and then finish off the enemy. It makes you feel like a frickin' NINJA!
+Tyler Buikema I see what you mean but you should still try it. It's probably the pinnacle of the 8bit Megaman style games even better than the ones with the slide and charge shot imo.
