Poll of the Day > When I first heard that Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 was coming..

(+) Yeah! (+)

I initially got excited. Then I tempered my expectations, thinking, "wait a minute; this is Capcom here. Watch them do something stupid like not release it for Nintendo systems."

I hate being right.

lol yep

Besides having 9 and 10 the ps2/GameCube collection is still better than both, wheee

What Crapcom really needs to do is to release a Rockman EXE collection with online multiplayer and none of the cut content.

I'd buy it even if it were a Switch exclusive

Seriously. Would it kill them to put all 10 in one collection?

You do realize (As was posted in OP) Capcom and logic just don't go hand in hand anymore?! They're in "financial difficulty" but they have so many fucking iconic names to their brand I don't understand how they aren't seeing WHY they are failing. At least Monster Hunter is doing well from what I'm hearing

Also, where the hell is Megaman & Bass (aka the BEST Megaman game before the X series).

Well [hopefully] Monster Hunter World will be a success on PC. As long as they don't fuck it up (Well this is Capcom we're talking about...).

yea I was very surprised that game didn't make the cut. I think it's time the company goes through internal changes, it is in dire need of them. It's a slowly sinking ship but there is literally no reason for it to be in that position

because they keep doing that shit where they release a game then decide they want to add dlc do instead of just releasing the dlc, you have to rebuy the entire game.

and then they do it again.

you could get away with that when dlc wasn't really a thing you could download, and they did get away with it. look at all the street fighter 2s, but now they can't, and they aren't realizing it.

I worried about whether or not they'll include the Rockman versions of each game, like with Collection 1. It's kind of REALLY important for 8, since, I mean, you know what I mean. And they'd essentially have to include every game in the collection twice, which was pretty simple when they were all NES ROMs, but now we're got modern day releases in here.

They literally even released a new definitive edition of Street Fighter II this year. I feel bad for all the chumps 25 years ago who didn't wait for the version with all the DLC.

Yeah, I remember hearing about this before and was disappointed. Having portable 9 and 10 would be awesome. I don't really care about 7 or 8, but it would be good to finally try to play through them.

Rockman versions? Is that a codename for some special version or are you just referring to the JP versions? I assume what you're implying about 8 is the awful English voice acting, but are you really so big of a weeb that the JP versions of the NES games and 9/10 are a big deal to you?

I got mega man collection on my ps4 for real cheap like $7...

I suck. End of story. Seriously the game is hard. The struggle is real yo.

There are a lot of changes in some of the localisations of some of these games. It is not something that a normal person would pick up but there's outright content missing from MMBN5 and 6 for example.

Also I call the series Rockman because I was apart of a community that called it that for several years.

Which one? There are six games in it. Have you never beaten any of them before?

I remember 5 being the easiest, maybe you should start with that. Actually, 2 on "Normal" difficulty is easiest, but I'm not sure if this is one of those collections that removes it.

Absolutely. Those four letters (and the extra space) are the biggest possible deal in the universe.

Battle Network 5 and 6? Or did you put BN in there by accident? Because the BN games aren't relevant to the collection I was talking about. And I was talking to Gamechamp... you know, the guy I quoted and responded to directly.

You're not Japanese, though. The games are meant to be known as Mega Man to you. What is the point of caring whether it's called Rockman other than to pat yourself on the back about how much you're into Japan? Your weeb levels are insufferable.


I think Mega Man sounds cooler anyway (though it doesn't make as much sense in the context of other characters like Roll)

why release it on nintendo? when nintendo will have vc and charge you more. More money can go back to nintendo instead of capcom.

Mega Man 7 is the only one of those games that is a candidate for VC though

They meant Battle Network, yeah. Though I would argue that even if the games aren't IN the collection, they're still relevant to the player's choice over which versions of the games in the collection to play. If a player wants to play the definitively best version of a game, sometimes they can choose either the English or Japanese version, and sometimes they'd NEED to play the Japanese version, but there is almost no instance where they need to play the English version (the only instance I know of where the English release had more content was Mega Man 2's additional Normal difficulty. Which, I mean, Baby Easy Mode isn't exactly what I look for in added content). And if a person wants a consistent experience throughout the entire franchise, they need to play every game in a single language, otherwise characters will be constantly changing names every which way when switching between regional releases. So if you're going to be playing the best release of the franchise as a whole, you'd have to go with Japanese over English.

Regardless, my choice isn't even one of quality, so the Battle Network thing doesn't weigh into my decision that heavily. It's more that the localization strategy they used for almost the entire franchise doesn't sit right with me. They changed the main character's name, a name which was already in English and made exactly as much sense without the original Japanese context, because one guy thought it sounded dumb. That is not how localization should be done, and the entire franchise has been marred by that decision from day 1, and they made tons more questionable changes along the way (Blue > Protoman, Forte > Bass, Rock > Megaman. Like as in Legends. Why not Mega? Mega would work as a kids name. He's literally a kid running around wearing a hunk of junk suit, we're supposed to believe his adoptive father named him "Megaman" when he was a baby. Like there's a reason he was called Rock and not Rockman, did the localization team not catch that or how does that even happen?)

You say that, but if the game was developed by Germans or something, and everything else was the same (including the current English names and the current Japanese names now being the German names), I have a hard time believing you'd care just as much.

I just hope that the inclusion or exclusion of JP versions isn't what makes or breaks your decision to buy the collection. Like jeez, how dare Capcom not cater to some small minority of picky, obsessed gamers in a release version intended for mainstream Western audiences.

iirc he refused to play the new Zelda because it did not have the Japanese vo

he's just an extreme weeb

If Capcom doesn't release the product I want, I'm not going to buy the product. I'm not saying the Mega Man versions shouldn't be released as products, I'm just saying they're not the products I want. The default state is to NOT buy things, buying is a decision made after they prove their worth to the individual consumer.

I don't think he outright refused, but to be fair, in Zelda games the story matters much more than Mega Man and the English voice acting is pretty subpar. IIRC he wanted Japanese voices and English subtitles, which is fair... I'd almost consider playing it that way, even. But then again, it's not like the English voices are grating or physically painful to listen to, and it's not like it makes the game better to pretend they don't exist.

On the other hand, he's being extremely petty over Mega Man. They have fucking ridiculous stories about robots named shit like Clown Man.

You keep bringing up this "Japanese" thing. I don't think I'm the person you think I am. Japanese developers tend to speak Japanese. Therefore I play Japanese games in Japanese. That's all there is to it.

I don't see quality as a significant factor. Preferring to play with the Japanese dub doesn't inherently mean I like the Japanese dub more.

And Clown Man is a respected member of the Robot Master family how dare you

Japanese companies spend a lot of money on having entire divisions in the West so that Western gamers don't have to do this. Your logic makes no sense, dude. Yeah, sometimes things unfortunately get messed up or changed in translation, but that's just how it goes. These companies bother to make games available and accessible to Western audiences, and you just shit on their effort to do something for your benefit, because you have some odd obsession over a few character names being changed. If Japanese companies had never bothered with localization in the first place, you probably wouldn't even know anything about these games you're complaining about that you can't play in Japanese.

No 3DS, no buy.

It isn't my responsibility to buy games, nor is choosing not to buy a game an inherent insult against the person who wants to sell it. If I want a Mcdonalds burger with jalapenos and Mcdonalds doesn't sell burgers with jalapenos, then I don't buy a Mcdonalds burger. I don't hate that they have the gall to sell burgers without jalapenos. I appreciate that they worked hard to make burgers available in my area. I don't look down on people who want a burger with japanenos and choose to settle for the burger without. I don't look down on people who don't like jalapenos in the first place. But I'm still not going to buy the burger. Because I'm exclusively in the market for burgers with jalapenos, and they are not offering that product.

It would be more like if McDonald's always had burgers with jalapenos on them in Mexico, and they decided to try that out in America a few times, and you liked it, but then when they got rid of the jalapenos you stopped buying McDonalds even though they were the same burgers you once liked before they ever introduced jalapenos to you

Yes, that sounds like a fairly accurate analogy. After trying burgers with jalapenos, I came to realize I don't want burgers without jalapenos any more. My tastes changed.
