So long as I can play the complete Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles i'll be happy, also prefrably without having to unlock it.
I'll lose Mega Man 9 perhaps, but I have Rockman in Mega World and nothing really comes close to the first 3 anyway...
I also have Mega Man 8 for the Saturn...excellent game, plenty to keep me occupied. There are like more Mega Man games than Friday the 13th movies....only need so many to keep you entertained...
I didn't buy Mega Man 9. I decided that part 2 was enough. I don't like the constant switching back and forth from the items screen. Part 2 is good for the music. Part 1 and 3 are somewhat decent but definitely not "must owns". The rest of the series can blow me.
I did buy it, but I can't say I'm totally blown away by it.
Anyhow, I think it's pointless to buy any of those original mega man games when all three last-gen systems got the mega man compilations, which can be bought for just over $10 now and be played on their current-gen counterparts.
I'm not thrilled by the 8-bit look. By rehashing the original games look and feel, Mega Man 9 avoids many modern conveniences such as switching weapons without having to go to the sub-menu and overly lengthy dialogue boxes thanks to the fat pixelated text used in the messages. That said, it's a well done platformer and worth it if you enjoy the genre, even if its presentation is a step back when compared to Rockman Megaworld, Mega Man 7 & 8, the PSP release, or Capcom's own recent treatment of Bionic Commando.
i loved how in the Saturn mega man 8 you just used the shoulder buttons to switch weapons...
They could have done more with it. I would have been perfectly happy with 8-bit sprites with more current-gen effects and music.
You were able to do that in the PSX version, as well. Did Mega Man 8 start that, or was it Mega Man 7 on the SNES?
Anyone?
On a side note, the robot bosses in MM8 were by far the queerest of the entire series. "I'm Aqua Man!!!" *rainbow*
So I pick up my copy of Call of Duty: World at War today, play around 2 and a half hours, and guess what happens?!
Red Ring of Death.
This is my fourth time... right when I was spending more time with the 360, gaining confidence in it. This might be the emotions talking, but I hate Microsoft and I hate the 360. Right now my friends are playing Call of Duty, and I can't join them for at least a couple of weeks.
(shakes fist angrily at Bill Gates)
I'd have to say that the 360 is clearly the worst built system in history, given the sales. Sure, the PS1 and PS2 broke down a lot, but not on this magnitude... not even close. Sometimes I am afraid to turn my 360 on. But mine will never break since there are so few good games to play on it.
Shit like this always happens around the big game rush. I've been through three 360s and after my receiving the third unit, I really haven't felt like booting the system up. I may do so next week since I got a free 13 month subscription card though. And the guys at work are also pestering me to get online with them to play some COD4, so I just might. But I see this thing red ringing on me around this time next year... God, I loathe MS...
A little update:
I called Microsoft's service center this morning to get the ball rolling on repairing my 360. It was by far the most pleasant experience I've had with the company.
After telling the rep that this is my fourth time having to send a console in, he apologized, agreed to overnight shipping for all three ways (them sending me the box, me sending them the console, them sending me my console back), said they would put it at the top of the list for repairs, agreed to report to me on a daily basis, and then offered me 13 free months of Xbox Live.
So... better than I expected. I'm still pissed, but less so.
