Unofficial Official Mega Man Thread

There already is an Okami 2. It's called Ōkamiden.

Breath of Fire moba doesnt even have Ryu as the MC does it? I recall that from when I heard about it.

Nope. It's pretty rubbish from what I heard too.

Glad Dragalia Lost fills the niche of characters turn into Dragons then.

Okamiden wasn't done by Kamiya at all; it was developed after Capcom dissolved Clover Studios (I think the team responsible for the Wii port did the game actually). I vaguely remember him saying in an interview that he felt betrayed/violated by Capcom allowing that game to be made without him, and didn't know if he felt like doing the actual sequel even if Capcom came back and asked him to (he was pretty bitter about the whole thing. No idea if he's changed his stance since then).

Anyways, supposedly Kamiya's sequel was meant to continue right after the first game's ending I believe.

What if robots in the Mega Man series were designed more like the synthetics in the Alien franchise?

To me, it seems like some of them are, but then they're equipped with armor that humans couldn't make use of.

What I meant by that is, white blood.

So I just finished X8 for the first time (would have done so a long while back, but my PS 3 controller was busted).

Overall an enjoyable entry in the series and I like a lot of stuff about it, but it has some unfortunate issues dragging it down. Why have two ride bike stages and like 2 auto scrollers? Nobody wants to play that shit. And that last fortress stage was a bit obnoxious with all the spikes.

In fact that ties into what's probably my biggest problem, that being that maybe it's just me, but collecting all the items in this game feels a lot more tedious and annoying than past X games. I'm not talking about grinding for metals, just stuff like that one part in Bamboo Pandamonium's stage where you have to hit a button super quickly while the ride armor is on a conveyor otherwise you won't be able to make it to the platform while in the ride armor fast enough. I was gonna collect every item from every level but eventually I said "fuck it".

Here's hoping if we get X9 it will build from what X8 did and improve it.

OH MY GOD, A MEGA-BUSTER DOLL HOUSE! XD

Keisuke Mizuno does good design work for "Mega Man X".

Probably known about already, but Capcom's kicking off Mega Man X's 25th anniversary with a brand spanking new poster featuring art by Keisuke Mizuno!

Calling it now, Mizuno will be lead character designer for the inevitable Mega Man X9.

(Also, yay for still remembering Alia!)

If this one goes into the game proper, we can finally kiss Zero's "tits" goodbye. XD

I tend to forget that Zero's design in X1 completely lacked those green orb thingies.

Also, in regards to the artwork from this Mizuno guy... Wasn't his design for X originally just created for an April Fools thing? ...Or I am I mistaking it/misremembering it for something else?

But Zero had those from the beginning. You're probably thinking of the shoulder pads, which didn't appear until X2.

No, you're right on the money. Mizuno's X design was made for an April Fools gag back in 2014. But I guess people loved it, because on January 21, 2015 (less than a year after the prank), a Kickstarter to turn the design into a premium action figure launched.

Huh, I completely forgot those were on Zero's X1 art. I think I had in mind his sprites from X1, that is where I am 100% sure the orb thingies were absent.

Speaking of Megaman figures... I remember there was this really cool action figure for a hypothetical canine companion for X called Rush Jagd.

I really like Jagd's Zoids-esque design.

When was it established the Proto Man also has the ability to copy enemies powers?

The arcade game I think

You mean Mega Man: The Power Battle?

Yes

What are you favorite boss from X series?, my would be a tie from X4 to X8, X5 for me were laughable from Grizzy slash to Izzy being stupid and really easy to beat(only the bat and the pegasus one give some sort of a challange), while X6 is schizofrenic, rangy for stupid(Blizzard wolfgang, Yammack Commander) to annoying hard(High Max, Infinity Minion, the first boss in Gate lab....Gate itself the fucker).

I hate nightmare mother. Gate is gimmicky and takes forever, but nightmare mother is just stupidly hard. Harder than shadow devil even. It's probably my least favorite part of MMX 6. Hi Max is tough but a puzzle boss, though his DEATH BALL spam once he goes into desperation puts him squarely into That One Boss territory. I spent hours fighting him before finally beating him, and I remember clearly having to exit the level and retrying later on when I was stronger lol. His music is forever burned into my mind as a result.

I find volt kraken without his weakness to be kinda difficult, sometimes pegasus can be annoying too. I think dark dizzy is the easiest X5 boss. Axl is one of my favorite as far as the actual design of the maverick goes but his fight is just okay.

I actually find infinity pretty fun lol. Magma Dragoon as well. Despite being easy frost walrus due to how impressive his sprite looks. Crush crawfish, morph moth, Blast hornet, Double, and Dinorex are some other picks.

Nightmare Mother clearly wasn't playtested enough. Same for all of Gate's Fortress and probably the whole game.

I always liked Overdrive Ostrich's fight.

Rejected names for Mega Man X Mavericks: Doorknob Turtle, Casserole Iguanadon, Slurpee Silverfish, Remote Woodpecker.
