My condolences.

I'm aware you can use corded NES controlers and all the accessories.  But my vintage 1987 NES is still working fine.  And I don't really dislike wireless controlers so much as the having to ##### with batterys and charging, but that's pretty much what a wireless controler is, so there you go.

I want a Hogans Alley and Gumshoe remake for Wii...

Super Metroid

/thread

Super Metroid is the penicle of the series.  Zero Mission is a close second and excelent remake of the first Metroid with my ONLY grip in it being the fact they STILL (like they did in Fusion) show you where to go.  That has no place in the game.  Fusion wasn't awful, but it was far too mission based and you were told exactly where to go 95% of the time.  Not very Metroidy in method if not gameplay.  I can't play the NES Metroid.  I tried but it's missing too many basic features that Super introduced.  Metroid 2 is pretty sweet, but suffers from many of same things NES Metroid does.  Metroid Prime is a shooter skinned with Metroid themed things.  It had no place in any serious discussion about Metroid apart from how it's all but killed any chance of the series getting a new game that's not a FPS.

If it's what I think it is I saw one with a set of controlers at Hastings when I went home last weekend.  Not sure I'm sold on it though and I hate the wireless controlers.  But then I just plain hate wireless controlers.

Who knew Albert was into that.

Sums it up well.

You know, I do believe that was my first rant of 2008!

I have to save up rant points.

I've been out of the loop with MMZ after the first game, besides the occasional plot summary, so what parts of it, plot-wise, are wallbanging worthy?

MMZ in it's ENTIERETY is VonKarma wall banging worthy.  Though the Cyber Elfs and Elf Wars would be to tier if you want to pick out specifics.

Inti's rewriting of MMX canon kills Cain.  I have no desire to see any more MHX games.  The first four X games are about as close to perfection as you can get.  I'm sick of Inti #####ting on Mega Man.  No more MHX.  At all.

I don't drink...

The game itself when it comes to gameplay wasn't too shabby.

Look again.  X8 had some of the series WORST stage design.  If not for X7, it would have THE worst stage designs.  The Metal System was imperfect and buying your power ups was the antithesis of X series gameplay.  Axl, aside from being about the single worst character spawned from Mega Man mythos, was completely unnecessary and added absolutely nothing to gameplay while taking away from X and Zero.  X and Zero themselves don't play awful, but they don't feel as tight as they did in 2D.  X's armor looked awful and the concept was only a step above the "collect all 4 parts before you can use it" approach of X5 and X6.  Then there's the plot.  That's all I need to say about that.

X8 is a very poor X game, quit trying to put it up with the series defining X1-X4 for Christ's sake.

Like ZX, ZX:  Advent was made of pure win.  

The game was very fun and enjoyable and the difficulty was perfect.

Oh and Boss Battle mode pwns.

You must live in Bizarro World.

Rez... you seemed to have put X8 in that list.  Let me move it for you.

*Beats Rez with his own tomatoe stick*

X8 sucks.  Deal with it.  It's not X7 bad of course, but compared to X1-X4, it's crap.

Then read it again.

YourMother'sAWhore Man.exe of course, Mr. Sean Connery!

And while I'm at it, a look at some old comic projects that just didn't materilize.  Sadly.

And a few Rez Fan arts, because I'm COOL.

I saved this in my scrapbook!  Along with these other great moments!

HAPPY NEW YEARS 2008!!!

:: gives out H to everyone ::

Part of the thing killing the series is the mindset we need to "finish" them.  We don't need a Classic game where Zero kills everyone.  We need them to be open ended.  8 Robot Masters?  Check.  A crazy plan by Wily?  Check.  Solid level design?  Check?  See what I mean?  Obviously not since we get MMZ, X7, X8 and ZX.

This is why Mega Man is ##### now.

Midnight?

That would be a sub tank then as E tanks always recover 100% health.

Uh... classic should be MM2 stage complete, not MM1.

I'd rather have a Lemmingsesque Servebot type puzzle game.

... but we won't be able to SEE them what with the black boxes over them.

Not quite.  Toe joint, MAYBE.

Hey Rez, remember Ryship's Black Market? XD

...yes.  I posted to it just yesterday.  Stay current you FOOL.

YOU GON GET BANNED!

We all would.

I must award Snare $500 Wily Funbux.  Win level is over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!

RIP Cyron old pal.

Jin was fun.

THEN GET TYPING INTO YOUR BROWSER URL BAR SON.

It WON'T be a great game if it's myered in the cesspool of current continuity.  And to be frank, I can't say I'm even confidant they'll keep the gameplay the same (seeing as how it works very well).  I'd LOVE to have a sweet new Legends game, but it won't EVER happen if it's made.

Not intentionally.  I avoid that crap like the plague.

As great as MML1 was, there were some disappointments. For example, we never got to see what was (or wasn't) Roll wearing when you walk in on her. Or what really happened between Barrel and Amelia.

Mega Man XXX has you covered there dear friend.

That team pretty much did Battle Network.  And look where it went.  And any Legends 3 will be set for auto fail because it's now auto locked into MMZ/ZX's continuity.

We're "family friendly".  But most of us know enough to say when.

I have a few goodies I could post when I get home...

It's like the PS3Network, only we're all mets.  Except for mods, of course.

Look at BN 4-6, MMZ, ZX, SF and X7-X8 and tell me you want these people working on Legends 3?

The best that Capcom managed was making lousy DASH games for Japanese cellphones.

Don't forget the piss poor ports of Dash 1 & 2 to PSP.

Retcon PAAAAUNCH!!!!

I don't want a cookie from you.  Who knows where the "frosting" on it came from.

I'm cutting him nowt, he's an annoying anus.

I hope you meant "none".  Shame though.  Fink was a good troll.  Every forum needs one of those.

JFA IS harder than 1.  2 and 3 are harder than 1 and 4.  It's even been expressly stated that AJAA's difficulty was moved back to be closer to PW1.  And while I prefer 1 to 2 or 3 for the most part, I still like all 3 quite a lot.

Metal Man's own weapon weakness though... different story.

What?  Don't you know Metal Man can dish it out but he can't TAKE it?

The girl in your avatar looks like she just got a facial...

I APPROVE.

Welcome back.

Creating multiple accounts will get you banned here Fink.  I suggest you not do it again as this is the only slack I'm cutting you.

Sano, just ignore Fink.  We're getting sick of the constant fighting.

Fink isn't female.
