MMPU.. Epic comeback!

[preventerWIND]

Apparently MegaMan Powered Up, or more appropriately RockMan RockMan since this is in Japan, is making a huge comeback. How huge? Well the sales suddenly bursted in the last month or so, and now it's near the top as one of the most selling games at E-Capcom. It's even selling more than Devil May Cry 4!.. Dunno how this happened really, DMC4 is like the biggest Capcom game coming out this year, and it already out sold it.

This might mean MMPU might get another chance at a sequel..

Da story

[Vinchenz Rock]

I hope this makes MMPU2 comes out. My favourite MegaMan game.

Just hope they don't butcher some stuff. :(

[ASR]

I already swore off PSP... bad news for me, but in the form of good news.

I really don't want to have to play it again.

[NovaMan XP]

*sigh*

If they make a sequel on the PSP... my wallet is gonna cry.

[Blitzkrieg]

HOORAH, NOW I CAN STOP HOLDING MY BREATH!

[NovaMan XP]

Breathing is good for you.

[Cherry]

Yay! ^_^

*starts saving up*

[ChaosVortex]

This is indeed something to look forward to.

I just hope they improve it and not screw with it too much.

[Dopefish]

I have 2 reasons why I won't buy this game.

1. Its for the PSP.
2. Megaman's Head to way to big.

Why does Capcom Insist on making the original Megaman look so crappy? Ever since MM8 everything has gone downhill.

Megaman 8 was a good game, but I meant graphically.

[NovaMan XP]

MMPU was a good game. Who cares about the graphics anyway?


Besides, I love chibi MegaMan. <.< Would you rather have a midget MegaMan? They have to make it feel like the original game.

[ASR]

MMPU is, in my opinion, the best MegaMan game.

[preventerWIND]

If they do make a sequel this will give me reason enough to get a PSP, I barely played MHX and MPU, so I'd like to play them.. as well as an MPU2

[Cherry]

I can't wait to play as the MM2 robot masters!  I'm looking forward to Metalman and Quickman in particular.  ...For no particular reason, now that I think about it.

[ASR]

Nobody said anything about this game coming out.

In fact, I'd better money that it never will.

[Vinchenz Rock]

We can always hope!

...

Hope always works!

Like for Mother 3- oh wait...

[NovaMan XP]

Maybe Capcom will think: "Well, it took two #####ing years for it to sell alot, so let's release it on the Wii and see if it sells faster."

[TheRedPriest]

MMPU wasn't bad, but I thought the NES games actually had a LOT tighter gameplay.  And I didn't like the style for the stages, a big floating BG with the foreground missing a "back wall" that you could see it.

But I'd still buy MMPU2.  As long as they FIX the robot master modes so the game is balanced when you play with them.  Some of the RMs in MMPU are hard as ##### soly because stage design/boss encounters are not adjusted to take into account how them move/attack.

[preventerWIND]

I don't even know if you'll be able to play as the bosses. They were created by Wily, so why would they convert?..

[NovaMan XP]

It's a game. They could just say Dr. Light reprogrammed them for good.

[preventerWIND]

And royally mess up the story again? Well, It's to be expected, but not wanted.

[TheRedPriest]

Robot Master mode in MMPU wasn't really dependant on a story... it was just a dumb little bonus.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, the story really stunk, especially if you wanted to count all the RM's as canon.

Which you shouldn't, really. I really just want a good construction mode. I was dissappointed that I couldn't change water level, use the Magnet Beam, and a few other things.

EDIT: Also, the fact that you were stunk in the "New Style mode" screen size. Old style offers more room in one screen.

[TheRedPriest]

Construction mode issues to fix:

1) Add more than 1 boss.
2) Add Fortress Bosses to what you can select from
3) Let you pick and choose stage enemies - do away with "packs".  You NEVER get just the right combo of stage enemies.
4) Let you use teleport pods
5) Let you designate "death pits" at the bottom of a screen even if there is an active area right below that screen.
6) Let you choose the grid size and shape, so long as there are the same number of total screens, what does it matter?  This way you could have a stage that's 100 screens wide by 1 tall if you so choose.
7) Let you pick your stage traps like enemies.  Packs do not work.
Let you choose your stage theme seperate from the look - or better yet, add your own music.

One thing I really didn't like is that in this version of Mega Man that he's only 1/3 the height of the screen.  The old school games he was fairly small to the size of the screen so there was lots of room both horizntal and verticle.  The lack of verticle depth really hurts the game play.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't know what you mean by #1, but I definitely agree with everything else. I could make some really neat stages if I wasn't restricted.

[TheRedPriest]

You can only select one boss for your stage.  What if you want to do a Guantlet?  Or just add a "mid boss" to your stage?  You can't.

[ChaosVortex]

I never really cared for that sort of thing, but that'd be kinda nice, I guess.

[TheRedPriest]

DAMN RIGHT YOU GUESS BOY.

[ChaosVortex]

"Don't call me a boy."

[TheRedPriest]

When you get to be as old as I am, I'll call you sir.  Until then you're a boy.  SHOW YOUR ELDERS RESPECT.

[ChaosVortex]

I'll call you an OLD FART.

;_;

Dude, do you realize it was made to attract younger kids?

[Abominator]

THAT WORKED!

[Fatso]

Dude, do you realize that was the aim of the ENTIRE SERIES?!?!

Most of those were things I really wanted too, especially the multiple boss thing.

They should also let you be able to customize the boss room and be able to place the boss door on ceilings or floors, not just walls.

Haha, yes. You read my mind, sir. All in all, I love the original Construction Mode to death as it gave me hours upon hours of gametime.

They should also let you be able to customize the boss room

We already figured that out via glitches, hehe.

[NovaMan XP]

I didn't have my PSP long enough to use it though... ;_;

[ChaosVortex]

I couldn't get it to work.

[Cherry]

Neither could I.  For some reason, the stages I made were always one tile higher than it said in construction, or certain tiles wouldn't be there once I saved.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Well it IS a glitch. It's not bound to work perfectly.

I've been playing my PSP more than my DS recently. >_>

[Cherry]

But would it ALWAYS be glitchy?  Anyway, same here about the PSP thing.  I mostly pick up my DS to play GBA games, more than anything.

[Vinchenz Rock]

But would it ALWAYS be glitchy?

BECAUSE IT'S A GLITCH.

[NovaMan XP]

YOUR FACE IS A GLITCH

[Vinchenz Rock]

OH NO YOU DIDN'T!

[ASR]

Glitch'd boss room! Image courtesy of my good friend Cleft.

[NovaMan XP]

Nice. That's a million times better than the generic crap you fight in.

[preventerWIND]

Whats glitched? I never played construction mode so I don't know whats wrong..

[NovaMan XP]

In MMPU's Construction mode, when you make the boss room, it's only a box, nothing inside, and you can't edit it without this glitch.

As you can see there's spikes, electric boxes and extra floor panels in places where they shouldn't be.

[ASR]

By default, every boss room is just an empty walled-in room with a 1-tile-wide wall bordering all sides. You're not allowed to edit it.

This glitch allowed you and the chosen boss to fall into the room below the default boss room, which you could edit to your liking. It didn't even have to be one grid-space... it could be the entire stage, several rooms long and tall, but then you risk losing the boss.

Note how you don't see the boss door anywhere in that screenshot, since both characters fell into this custom room from above.

[NovaMan XP]

But how exactly do you get yourself and the boss to fall into the room?

[ASR]

I personally forgot the specifics, it was pretty complicated.
