lol. Forget Aqua man, Grenade man sounded like a complete bogus megatard' while Astro man sounded like some hilarious Tranny hair dressor.

You and i seem to have the complete opposite taste in mega man and your taste seems to be pretty different from the norm compared to most MM fans, but that's cool.
I felt that most of 4's tunes were pretty grating...They had this tingy staticy grating tone to most of them, although Dive man's was probably the best of the bunch. I dont know, i felt like the level design in MM4 plus most of the boss battles were pretty w eak sauce. it felt so uninspired and stale at the time, i played MM1-4 in order during my NES days with a then with a splash of 5 when the NES was beginning to semi-fade away.

As for MM5, imo it has one of the worst soundtracks in the franchise, everything sounds too simular and fitting for some galactic space stage. It's all pretty mellow and forgettable stuff aside from a few decent tracks.

And with MM2, you've got to understand when it came out it was flat out amazing. It was an insanely vast improvement over the original, it boasted some of the most amazing 8-bit tunes of that era and it has such a distinct epic vibe about the entire package, plus it was so creative, colorful, ubeat and flat out epic. Fast forward to now, and well.....Ya, there are things about it that haven't quite aged well. The ladder climbing is too slow, the controls arent quite as zippity as MM3 and onwards, some of the Robot Master battles feel a smidge sloppy and Wily's Castle(amazing bosses aside, like that massive dragon who scared the hell out of me back in the day) was a bit stale. Actually MM2's Wily castle for me was the worst wily castle in the franchise to be honest.

People who were there or played it around the time during it's release and right after MM1 'got it' it was such a crazy awesome experience, Bubble, Air and Wood man's stages truly are the standouts if you ask me.

If i were new to the Classic franchise, i'd probably rank MM9 as the greatest, because i truly feel like it is the best of the Bunchy.

Oh god. Mega Man 8's robot's names are horrendous. Clown man? Grenade man? SWORD man?! What is this randomness I'm smelling? What I do remember from MM8 was the difficulty. That damn difficulty.

Search Man was the best.

He totally stole 1984 Megatron's fusion cannon.

Mega Man 6 is just as bad.
Plant Man
Centaur Man
Yamato Man

And don't forget about Mega Man 10!
Nitro Man
Sheep Man
Strike Man
Pump Man

@WaveBoy

Mega Man 4's music is nowhere near as bad as Mega Man 6. The only good song from Mega Man 6 is Wind Man.

Here's a sample of Mega Man 4 and 5. Tell me if you hate that music.

MEGA MAN 4 - Skull Man

MEGA MAN 4 - Pharaoh Man

MEGA MAN 5 - Napalm Man

MEGA MAN 5 - Gyro Man

Mega Man 3 and 4 were composed by the same person, BUN BUN. That's why their music sounds so similar. Whoever composed Mega Man 5 must have taken inspiration from those games.

@tendoboy1984
its a great series no matter what Capcom decides to name them.

It doesn't look like anything will be released by Christmas or this month. I think we might see more VC games next year with a huge step up from 2011.

I will just go ahead and say that the US Wii VC games are done... When the Sega Master System started taking games back... It was dead!!! ""Like the red blinking light on our NES""

I hate the fact the Wii VC is dead and buried, but it does save me money now that I no longer need buy Wii Point cards.

Here is "some news regarding the state of the Wii VC." As long VC games are available from redeeming your Club Nintendo coins, Ryno is going to download them. You guys wanted some new news right?

Reggie says the Wii VC isn't dead but there hasn't been a single release since. Here we are two weeks left in the year and still nothing. VC Must be in a coma then. If we don't get something before christmas I'm sending a very strongly worded E-mail.

Does anyone know if Nintendo is aloud to put up DK64 or is it because of Rare.

Did Rare not develop the orginal SNES Donkey Kong Country games that are currently on the VC?

I love answering a question with a question.

They haven't put it up not because of copyright issues, but because Rare used a certain chip or something in the game (and most of their other N64 games) that makes it hard to emulate, and also hard to put on the VC.

What's the Virtual Console again?

This awesome service on the 3DS

Like the SNES version of Starfox that had the FX chip. So 2D polygons can give the appearance of rotation in a 3D frame... Or a ship can turn left! LOL

you know what they say, talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words.

this hiatus has gone on for too long and i don't get why they release V.C games for the 3ds, which is great but not for the wii V.C as well.

sup

Somebody needs to ask Konami why in the hell Contra hasn't been released yet.
It doesn't make any lick of Lego sense.
