Mega Man 10 announced

[TonyTheTiger]

I'm tired of complaing about digital distribution. This is a collector board, so those that don't care about physical release are in the minority here. Can someone else rant for me?

I don't think it's so much about "not caring" about a physical release but rather not being personally offended by the lack of one to the point where we'd not play a great game on sheer principle. At some level I think you just have to throw your arms in the air and just take it as it comes. Good and bad, right and wrong, if a game is good I'm going to play it. I don't care how.

[Howie6925]

Is this coming out on the ps3/xbox360, as far as I know(i think) it is only a Wii release. I hope it is not.

At any rate, I won't complain in THIS case, because it's friggin Mega Man 10. I'm just thankful for what we're getting. Physical releases would be icing on the cake.

I will, however, point out that the Starforce and EXE games see physical release, but (to my knowlege) have a smaller audience. Logic error?

Demanding a source for that, because it sounds like a load of shit to me.

This. Seriously, that's like the lamest reason to not play a game ever.

You sure like demanding sources.

It was confirmed for XBLA and PSN several days ago.

Nintendo Power just broke the news and obviously just covered the WiiWare release.

You sure like making baseless arguments.

You know it's weird. I noticed every time I saw your name in a thread, you were busy arguing with someone.

And every time I see you post, it's a red herring.

Alright, fuck it, I'm just going to ignore all of your irrelevant posts from now on. Post something relevant or gtfo.

Hey hey hey, leet's calm the beef min... this isn't GameFAQs!
As for me, I'm totally excited... gameplay looks solid too- didja see the SANDSTORM?
As far as graphics go, I'd say they're probably most similar to 6... *runs & hides*
But seriously though, 6 used a similar color palette style, almost like a Super Game Boy game in some levels (example: the stage where it's all 4 shades of purple).

Definitely a day 1 must-buy, and if you didn't play 9 for some self-righteous reason or another, just pa the $10 and get it already. Seriously. It's not going to come out on disc anytime soon, if at all.

[NayusDante]

Demanding a source for that, because it sounds like a load of shit to me.

Well, since you didn't clarify which of my three points is a "load of shit..."


1. Last I checked, DP is a collector board. I don't think I need to justify this.

2. No, I am not complaining. Again, I shouldn't have to justify this.

3. MM9 sold 140,000 in its first week (http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=2162). The newest Star Force title is Amazon rank #2,757 and #4,372, putting more than 1,600 at best behind Persona PSP, an example of a niche title. The download code for the 360 version of MM9 is Amazon rank #4,524 (consider how many people even buy download codes on Amazon). Comparing the two titles on Metacritic, you're looking at 80 vs 59. There are 1,300 combined user scores on GameSpot for MM9, compared to 500 combined scores for the latest Star Force.

Mega Man is by no means coming back to mainstream, but 8-bit sequels certainly beat out the 12-year-old-targeting spin-offs.

I'm talking about how the StarForce games supposedly have a smaller audience and thus shouldn't be the one getting the physical release. It may have more overall sales, but you aren't really taking into account the size of the game itself or the effect of being sold for $10 rather than $30 has on the game's success, either.

[Oobgarm]

Well, Konami just recently released two volumes of DLC on physical disc(3 games each), so it's not out of the realm of possibility to see these get the same treatment.

GIRL FIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Source she's female?

[old_skoolin_jim]

Funny, I thought this was a thread about MEGAMAN 10...

[kaedesdisciple]

Source she's female?

Source that females can be referred to as she?

At least I know I'm not the only one from whom "she" demands sources.

I would also welcome the sure-to-be-frustrating-yet-fun Mega Man 10.

Oh, and Garry Shandling.

[SplashChick]

Yes, checking facts rather than just believing everything people say is a terrible practice.

Mind blowing idiocy in this thread.

Look, it's got nothing to do with checking other's facts, or even that you disagree with everything. A lot of threads are actually made a lot more interesting with a healthy debate. The problem people are having with you is how confrontational you've been acting in pretty much every thread you've posted in. I understand you're going for this highly competitive cunt persona (hey, your words not mine: http://www.furspace.com/SplashChick). But this is actually a pretty friendly community when you're not trying to be a total bitch.

[calgon]

<3 you guys.

[JSoup]

So how about that Mega Man 10?

[SplashChick]

So how about that Mega Man 10?

Apparently, discussing my personality is FAR more important.

[Flack]

I really don't have the time to go through this thread and weed out all the off topic shit, so howzabout we get this puppy back on track before I have to get in my truck and drive around the country hitting people in the face with what's left of the fruit log my mom dropped off for Christmas. If you guys can't get along there's an "ignore" button that I suggest you make use of. Now shut the fuck up before I have to get all mean and stuff on Christmas. Don't any of you have games to play on Christmas, anyway?

I'm going back to my eggnog now. Be nice, if not for me, for baby Jesus (my friend Pedro's kid).

[Daria]

I play my DS while I surf the interwebs.

And umm.. yeah Megaman 10 looks very oldschool. Retro = awesomes.

[NayusDante]

Why don't we all stop arguing and watch the footage from the 12-16-09 live broadcast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1BdmGvpFYI). There's several (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlf6LZirtZg&feature=channel) videos.

I'm still excited.

[Urzu402]

Any news on the third character yet?

[Zap!]

Any word off a second Press Kit yet?

There is? Awesome, I didn't know this forum had it. Thank you, sir.

[NayusDante]

Any news on the third character yet?

Odds are that it's Bass, but some guys on the MM forum I frequent are suggesting that Cossack creates his own flagship robot.


Any word off a second Press Kit yet?

There's definitely going to be contests. Just keep watching the Capcom Unity boards...

[vivaeljason]

I'm personally hoping for a unique robot (so not Bass), so one created just by Cossack is cool by me.

[NayusDante]

So there's quite a few possibilities now...

1. Bass (seems likely)
2. Duo
3. DCN-001 (Dr. Cossack's first non-Wily-coerced robot)
4. DRN-012 (a new creation by Dr. Light)
5. Roll (after being cured of robotenza, unlocked like X in X8)
6. The GB robots (Punk, Ballade, Enker, Quint...)
7. X Prototype (my personal hope, that would help tie things together)
8. Zero (we really don't know about his first activation...)

[SplashChick]

I would KILL for Roll.

[JSoup]

There is? Where is this? Why am I always the last to know about these things? I pay the heating bill around here!

Alas, it is not a complete solution, for the post of the user in question will still be visible to you - just with a link that says "click here to view this post", taunting you, daring you to click through and see what flagrant idiocy your nemesis has sunken to this time. "Click Me!" it demands. "Validate your estimation of this poster!"

So, same shit I see over on the FanimeCon forums on a daily basis. :/

[Urzu402]

Sorry to bump an old thread but this game comes out Monday! on the WiiWare
at least I think it does

[NayusDante]

Yeah, I've got work Monday but as soon as I get home I'll be doing a live stream of it, if anyone wants to watch.

Has anyone else noticed that within a few weeks of the announcement, the excitement completely died down? I haven't heard much of anything new on it in a month.

[Urzu402]

I am really interested on who that 3rd playable character is if he or she will be playable from the start and stuff, also is it known if Proto Man will be playable from the start?

[NayusDante]

Proto Man WILL be available from the start. I'm guessing it plays like X5 and X6 where you select a character before each stage.

The GameSpot press release the other day said something about a "NEW" third playable character. God I hope we're not getting another Axl...

[carlcarlson]

I'm really hoping they put 9 on sale when 10 is released. I could use a little old school gaming.

[Urzu402]

One thing I hope is that it isn't a joke character, I would be pissed at Capcom if it were a joke character.

[JSoup]

It's not like they don't have a bunch of stock characters that could be made playable. Roll, Duo, Bass, Auto, any number of the Robot Masters, the Journey to the West bosses and those space robot whatever guys.

[Zap!]

Wii there be another Press Kit?

[Urzu402]

Wii there be another Press Kit?

As far as I know there hasn't been one announced.

[NayusDante]

So now I do NOT have work tomorrow. I'll be refreshing the Wii Shop over and over around midday tomorrow and streaming it on my Ustream channel (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nayusdante), if anyone wants to watch. That is, assuming I can get the audio commentary working...

[TonyTheTiger]

I really wish they would launch these things at midnight because, seriously, what's stopping them?

[NayusDante]

I've got the stream up, simulcasting on USTREAM (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nayusdante) and LiveStream (http://livestream.com/thestormfront).

[NayusDante]

And LiveStream isn't working... Back to USTREAM in higher quality, I guess...

[JSoup]

Backloggery Live will also be streaming it tonight, after they finish a race.

[carlcarlson]

I've got the stream up, simulcasting on USTREAM (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nayusdante) and LiveStream (http://livestream.com/thestormfront).

I just watched you fall in the same pit three times. That's classic Mega Man alright!

Thanks for the stream. I'm doing a lot of rendering at work today and watching you play is making the time pass much more quickly!

[old_skoolin_jim]

Heheh, thanks for the stream! Currently watching you deal with those damn trucks. Nice music so far... Might just buy it on the Wii so I don't have to wait a month for the 360 version... screw the 200 potential gamerscore points! :p

[Robocop2]

One thing I hope is that it isn't a joke character, I would be pissed at Capcom if it were a joke character.

Frank West?

[Bloodreign]

This one has nice and evil stage design, I like, I like. Shame I only got to one boss master, and he pretty much destroyed me. :)

[imanerd0011]

I'm watching your stream right now. The game looks really fun, and you seem pretty good at it already. I have to beat MM9 before I buy this one though, but I'm sure I'll buy it sooner or later.

[Zoltor]

This one has nice and evil stage design, I like, I like. Shame I only got to one boss master, and he pretty much destroyed me. :)

Well just like the other Mega Man games, you kind've have to do them in some random order(I only beat 2 stages so far).

I beat Chill Man, and Sheep Man so far(both with just the Blaster), so you might want to do those first(what to do afterwards, I have no clue).

Blade Man is actually the easiest one to start with.

[Zoltor]

Blade Man is actually the easiest one to start with.


Really, he raped me, but I suppose if you have 2-3 E Tanks, you could probally pull it off.

I can assure you, Sheep Man is the easiest, he has a very constant pattern, and his moves are insanely easy to dodge.

If you can do Sheep Man, you can do Blade Man. All it takes is pattern recognition and the ability to move when needed.

[NayusDante]

Blade Man moves and attacks faster. Sheep man is like Galaxy man, he keeps floating around but he's easy to hit when he lands.

Those of you who watched know that I finished the game on normal with Mega Man, and then easy with Protoman. Overall, this one's a lot more ENJOYABLE than 9 was. It's still really challenging, but it's not the brick wall that 9 was at points. I can't beat 9 without full E-Tanks and all, but I didn't even use my M-Tank on 10. There's even an E-Tank and an M-Tank near the final Wily, so I think this one was meant to be finished.

I kept noticing how good the level design is here. In 9, there were so many spots where you can see that there's ONE way through, and it's always the HARD way. Here, the challenging sections feel more thought out, and you don't have to perform exact button sequences to get through. If you have the dexterity and reaction speed, you can find your way through. THAT'S good level design.

Music is mostly really good. I noticed quite a few remixes, like the Mega Man 3 title as Protoman's shop theme. They redid the Mega Man 8 home theme and used that as Mega Man's shop theme. Stage themes are mostly great, a few sounded iffy to me. I didn't care for Strike Man's them, but it kinds fits the stage. Pump Man's theme uses some neat effects that sound more like the FDS synth, and that same FM/C64 quality shows up again in one of the Wily stages.

Overall, it feels like a better game than 9. The plot is sillier, but it brings a few new questions at the end. Hopefully they'll build on that in 11 instead of just put out another standalone sequel.

Still, one thing bothers me... Where's Cossack during all of this?

[Urzu402]

Yay I have the 4th best time in Blade Man's stage, last time I checked, my nick name is Woody lol. I wonder how long it will last.

[Zoltor]

If you can do Sheep Man, you can do Blade Man. All it takes is pattern recognition and the ability to move when needed.

As NayusDante says, Blade Man is faster, and hard to hit.

[NayusDante]

I just hooked my Wii back to my LCD (had it on my retrogaming CRT), and MM10 looks awful when the Wii is configured for 16:9. Be sure to set your console to 4:3 and your TV to the same if you have an LCD. Like 9, it outputs in 480i only, so that should give you the best picture and more hard-edged pixels.

[TonyTheTiger]

It is a really good game. But, all in all, it's inferior to Mega Man 9. Granted, since MM9 is one of the best in the series that's going to be hard to beat but 10 feels...lesser...in a few ways.

[Urzu402]

I Don't know I like Mega Man 10 better than 9 mainly because it reminds me of the later Mega Man games 5 and 6 and stuff. i like the pretty graphics.

[NayusDante]

10 definitely takes after 4-6 with its level of detail and choice of colors. Having so many mini-bosses brings 4 to mind.

Something about the overal feel seems off in 9 and 10, if you compare them to 1-6. There's a bit too much contrast in visual style between some stages, and the new robot masters really don't feel like parts of complete sets. The other games had robot masters that looked like they belonged together.

I played some of the challenges just now, they made me smile. The game itself isn't as challenging, but these are going to keep me tossing my controller for a while. Great stuff!

[dairugger]

i dont know if its been mentioned yet, but the third playable character is Bass.

[JSoup]

As NayusDante says, Blade Man is faster, and hard to hit.

And as I said "All it takes is pattern recognition and the ability to move when needed." I'm not saying Blade is easier than Sheep (which he's not), but if you can do one, there is no reason why you can't do the other, as Blade is basically a version of Sheep that moves around more.

[NayusDante]

Blade Man shoots three blades at a time that make a good portion of the screen dangerous to be in. Sheep Man's attacks only cover small areas at once. I find myself constantly jumping into those blades, rather than avoiding them.

Hmm. I didn't have a problem with Blade. Once I understood his pattern, it was a simple mater to follow it.

[NayusDante]

It's still tough to doge his blades when he shoots from the side walls. I just got owned.

Thought I'd relax for a bit and play some MM10 on the couch. Not as relaxing as I thought it would be... >_<

[TonyTheTiger]

Wily's Castle is much easier in this game than in MM9. Feels shorter, too. The first level, though, is especially awesome.

[WarLordAG]

It sucks that this isn't out on the 360 until later this month.
I own all three systems, but I prefer my 360.
I'm not sure whats wrong with launching a title the same week for all systems.

[Urzu402]

I may have a time on the Blade Man leader board but as for playing the actual game I am playing Easy mode Proto Man.
