The Official Mega Man 9 Topic

[TheRedPriest]

Mega Man 2 was the best in the series.  SMB 2 is a great game.  Simon's Quest isn't as bad as AVGN made it out to be.

[ASR]

I personally love SMB2 and Zelda II.
I played SMB2 so much as a kid and was shocked when I found out it was originally not a Mario game later in life.

[Mikero]

I hate Zelda II much more than... Well, a lot of stuff I hate.

[ASR]

It was fun if you didn't play it as a Zelda game. It took me a little bit to get into but now I can never forget how fun it was. Just frustratingly hard, but I played it during a time when I had tons of it to waste.

[Mikero]

I'd rather play that old Rambo game, which is the same game except even stupider somehow.

[XJ]

Cause it wasn't Zelda.

[Mikero]

Trust me, that wasn't it.

[XJ]

LIES! IF IT SUCKS, IT'S BECAUSE IT'S NOT ZELDA! GET THAT INTO YOUR HEADS!

[Fatso]

The Spider-Man cartoon was the highlight of the '90s for me. Probably actually the best cartoon I've ever seen. I can't evaluate its accuracy thanks to exactly zero experience with the comics (or with comics in general actually) but it was a hell of a lot of fun.

Pretty sure the crooks didn't all carry laser guns in the comic though. That seems like more of a censorship move.

[XJ]

The cartoons I do remember from the 90's was Spider-Man, TMNT, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Mega Man, and Donkey Kong.  Donkey Kong might have been in the early 00's, but nonetheless, they all kicked ass.

[Snare]

I hated Donkey Kong cause they sang.

Also this.

[ASR]

Hahaha, oh man. I really forgot about that show. I just remember being excited when it was on because it almost never was.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't remember caring enough to like it or hate it. I just watched it whenever it was on.

I'm glad I don't remember them singing.

[Xero]

Besides...the Super Mario Brothers Super Show >>>>> That.

[ASR]

Yeah, but the DKC show was really exciting to me because all three DKC games were like, my absolute favorite videogames as a kid.

[preventerWIND]

DKC 3 wasn't good. Woulda been better if you played as DK and Diddy, the 2 characters in 3 sucked.

Zelda is just a game based on the ideaology of interdimension incest.

I highly doubt that nets it awesome points. Then again, incest is hot so maybe...

Thats because you sheep have no morals. Blech..

What's this about incest?

DKC3 was by no means a bad game, it just wasn't anywhere near as good as DKC2, which is ideally the perfect game. And DKC1 was also better than 3.

Hey, this brings us back to our "1 is good, 2 is best, 3 sucks" dealio!

[preventerWIND]

..What about MegaMan? 3 was pretty boss, in my opinion..

And I loved DK3, I remember getting it Christmas morning and not being able to play it. My brother was a complete nazi when it came to playing our SNES(his as he saw it). So not being able to play that and countless others made me develop some hate for it. I just recently started to like DK3. I have the same issue with SMW, I know everybody loves it and I completely understand why. But I hate it for some reason.

Luckily I was able to play MMX and school my brother at it too.

Morals are for chumps.

Go back to RPM. We did a very indepth and detailed analysis on it, with me as the head advisor of the project.

Simplified version... there's a reason there is always a Zelda, a Link and a Ganon. Clearly Zelda has hot sex with both to give birth to the next generation of the destined three. Only way the series makes sense. Don't try to defy my logic.

[NovaMan XP]

Is that why Link can't ever talk?

[Aresian]

Is that why Link can't ever talk?

Very astute, young Nova. Ten points to the Man of XP.

And now you are one step closer to understand the Incestuous power of Zelda.

Ganon is just some immortal freak of nature.

Naming royalty after previous ones is not new.

Such as Louis I through VI.

So as such with Zelda.

Link... He is the messiah, forever reborn to fight evil.

[Snare]

And Link is only a default name in most cases.

You can name him Assmunch.

Sounds like a roundabout way to prove my point.

He's "reborn" alright, through incest, to fight his incestuous evil.

More wall of quotes?

[Aresian]

More wall of quotes?

Shhh, stop giving us away.

But naw, I think that's the most we can do without getting tomato #####ed.

[ASR]

I think it's nice that we let Rez run around and act like he's important. It's cute.

[Mikero]

The above post just reminded me of this little kid I saw at Lone Star tonight running around with one of those sticky hand gelly things.

I said TRUST me, so trust me!

It wasn't really that accurate at all story-wise, but pretty much all the characters, relationships, and themes were done perfectly.

[ASR]

These are all scans from the Nintendo Power contest where some American Robot Master designs were chosen for MM6. I thought it was funny because aside from being interesting in general, there are a few similar Robot Masters on there to what will be in MM9 (Bee Man, Cosmic Man, and some robots very similar to Plug Man are among them.)

[Mikero]

Black Man?

Really?

[ASR]

I saw that, too. I just didn't know what to think.

[Mikero]

At least just looks like a gay Oil Man and not like just a black guy, although that would actually be pretty funny if he was just a normal dude in clothes but for whatever reason MM found him threatening for no reason. Very 80's.

But jeez... #####ing British Columbia kids.

[NovaMan XP]

Hey, I see a FreezeMan in there! Seems Capcom did use some of those for other MegaMan games...

EDIT: Same with SpringMan and Rush Cycle... heh.

[Chron]

There's also a Frost Man, Clown Man and Magic Man.
Don't forget those.

[NovaMan XP]

Yeah I just realized them too.

So it is possible Capcom used some of these... but then changed the names.

[Mikero]

Yeah I noticed those too, but really other than Freeze Man and Rush Cycle it's only the names that are similar. But I'm just remembering what I thought about it when I looked, and I don't feel like relooking to check my point out.

That Diamond Man looks a bit like Gemini Man to me.

[Fatso]

Strangely enough I don't see Knight Man or Wind Man (at least the one that showed up in MM6).

However, I do see Knight Man in the background of that Wily pic, so it's pretty clear to me that by the time of printing Capcom had already made their decision.

[Mikero]

This is an American Nintendo Power-produced contest, and wasn't official. They took all the ideas they got from Nintendo Power readers and sent them to Capcom, and Capcom was never officially going to pick any of them.

The official RM design contest held by Capcom was only done in Japan, which is why you don't see Knight Man or Wind Man on these American NP pages. And by the time Nintendo Power's contest finished, MM6 was probably already in post/"beta" production anyway.

[ASR]

That's not KnightMan, it's just a generic robot.

And Mike, Nintendo Power actually DID send these in to Capcom, and it was official, and they chose two submissions, which were Knight Man and Wind Man. Those are the only two American-created Robot Masters.

These pages are just what Nintendo Power chose as the best submissions to showcase at the time, before they were sent in to Capcom.

[Mikero]

OK I didn't say they didn't send them to Capcom.

Anyway I didn't know the Knight Man and Wind Man came from the America ones, and the actual article in Nintendo Power makes it sound like they were just sending them along without Capcom actually HAVING to pick any. So my mistake on those two parts.

[ASR]

It's cool, I was just pointing it out.

[Vinchenz Rock]

New footage.

[TheRedPriest]

Is it?

[Vinchenz Rock]

I've been following this thread since its creation and I haven't seen this posted, so...

The footage came from ComicCon btw, which is going on right now, so its fairly new.

[ASR]

It's new footage of the same old level we keep seeing footage of.

[preventerWIND]

Yes! That awesome theme that everyone else thought was the intro song is Tornadoman's theme. Wind bosses always have the best theme.

[ASR]

Sweet, I like that song.

Only other Wind-style boss with great music is AirMan.
