Topic: The Mega Man Fan Club

Maybe Capcom would be able to actually sell some of those music collection CDs, if they included a free and exclusive eShop download code for, "Megaman Legends 3".

Wish they would put the soundtracks on music services.

I other news protoman is about to come to the comics.

When it was first announced that Archie was going to do a Mega Man comic, the first reaction I usually got from fans was: "That's great!" The second, immediate response was: "When is Proto Man going to show up?" Well now that we've got a solid year of books behind us showing off the Blue Bomber, it's time we moved on to... wait, does Blues have a nickname? The Scarlet Sniper? The Wandering Whistler? The Shaded Scarf-Wearer?

Anyway, we're devoting two lead stories to telling the origin of Blues, a.k.a. ProtoMan. We'll be looking at how he became the lone wolf character we know and love and what it was that drove him away from Light Labs. This story has a special tie-in to events that are currently taking place beginning in Mega Man #15, which will be on sale early next month. We'll also be seeing the origin to his alter ego, BreakMan.

In addition to "Proto-Type", this issue marks the first time we experiment with having back-ups in the Mega Man comic, so folks can look forward to a broader exploration of the Mega Man Universe, and some funny misadventures with the Light Robot Masters!

Yep, going to be epic! I hope they explain his awesome shades, as well.

So there's a guy in my town "trading" a lot of really good retro games, and he has a copy of X3. I can't believe how much it's gone up in price on Ebay in the last year. Last time I check, you could get it for around 80 USD. I'm not seeing for anything less than 120 in good condition! One for 80, but the label is messed up. Anyone know why?

It's probably semi-rare. That's unfortunate since I have the GCN Megaman X Collection and it didn't cost that much.

I committed highway robbery for my totally mint copy of X3 about ten years ago...guy at work sold it to me for $15 and was just looking to get something out of it. Not sure what X3 went for back then but I've always felt a little bad about not giving him $30 at least.

So megaman is getting an exclusive varient cover at SDCC.

Also Sonic/Megaman are getting a joint panel at San Demigod Comic Con

"0:00-11:00 Sonic and Mega Man: Video Game Comics Showcase— Get your game on! Folks from the two most popular video game comic series share what’s in store in one, must-attend panel! Learn what’s on tap for Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Universe, and Mega Man. The editorial mastermind behind both books, Paul Kaminski, is joined by Archie Comics president Mike Pellerito, artist Evan Stanley, and Archie Comics executive director of publicity and marketing Alex Segura. See some exclusive artwork, learn about upcoming storylines, and get a glimpse at the biggest comic book event of the year. We. Are. Not. Kidding. Be there! Room 24ABC"

Makes sense these two would share a panel as they both have the same writer and are both video game adaptions. (Though sonic for the most part is doing its own thing).

I'm expecting the bog crossover will be one between the sonic and megaman books. Also expecting megamanto get another book soon followed by another new video game book.

Also the megaman book is pretty popular. During fcbd I saw many kids have it in there pile of 3 books.

For me, it's a tie between 2 and 9.

This is just plain excellent.

Is this what I think it is?

Yes it is! From this photo we can see a new Sigma, Black Zero and Vile Rider Armor figure from D-arts. That Sigma would really look great on my shelf between X and Zero, though Vile in that Rider Armor Looks just as awesome! Bet it will take three quarters of a year to come out though :/

Any good game to start with in this series particular? I've only played a trail of 9 and didn't really like it too much. For one, why can't I shoot up when there are birds carrying deadly rocks flying past constantly? And everytime I got to jump over a small pit, something knocks me back into it to die. Tried to cross the first two holes 5 times and died everytime.
Makes me feel like I suck I guess at these games.
i've played many many platformers and do just fine, but somethign about this just kills me.

You are referring to the classic Megaman games right? Well, since I see you don't find Megaman 9 that good, I think its best that you either rub those elbow grease and give it another go, Try out Megaman 2 on easy mode, or look for another game. Megaman 9 is the best of all the eleven games in the classic series and if you didn't like it because it was hard, I suggest you move on as The Classic Megaman games are quite as hard. Quite a shame really, though I also suggest you try out Megaman X on the VC or Megaman ZX on the DS. Both those games are more lax compared to the Classic megaman games, and I think they are a bit more tied into exploration as compared to Hard core run'n gun.

Maybe I just need to try again. Take my time and get used to it. Seems like it can be a good game. I just really wish I could shoot up (which from what I see now online it looks like a lot of people with that ).

Well I just beat X3 last week and i'm already halfway through X4. While X3 is the worst of the SNES titles, I did enjoy it quite a bit. The music wasn't amazing but not as horrible as people make it seem as I enjoy Toxic Seahorse and Crush Crawfish's music quite a bit. My first impression of X4 is that it feels different from the previous games, but not in a bad way.

[/div]

Never played 10. So when I was looking for it's music on YouTube to see if I'd enjoy it I looked up sheepman first, because of how weird and dumb of a robot master he seemed. I was blown away by his actual theme.

@iPancakez MMX4 is arguably the second best title in the X series. I played it on the PS2 and it really felt like the next step for a MMX title as opposed to X 2&3 which felt a little more of the same(Still liked them though) If I had to nitpick though, alot of the music tracks could have been better and the added VA sounded mildly annoying such as X sounding like a teen girl.

Currently, I'm playing through Megaman ZX. Yes, I do find the exploration elements to be confusing as the game never really gives you a detailed map or some directions to which area you must go... but I think the concept of an open world 2d game would have worked out well if done right. I never really found this to be better than the Zero games but on its own, it was still an above average run n gun platformer plus, I loved that you could transform into the guardians of the Zero games. The sequel though was a bit of a mess in many aspects looking back.

Would Mega Man X5 be worth playing through twice, once as X, once as Zero, like in X4?

Oh yeah, definitely. In fact, the way X5's story goes you almost need to play again to get a different...outcome so to speak.

@Denzer
Yeah it would really suck to skip right to the final stages with the whole cannon thing the first time around. I'll probably end up doing two playthroughs even though my understanding of the game seems to be that you get the weapon from a boss for both characters and Zero can get the X upgrades.

I'm a classic Megaman dude for now. I'm doing this sort of dare to beat all 10 Classic Megaman games. Already up to #3, #1 was ok thanks to the elecman glitch, but #2 kicked my butt with the Buebomber Ray things. Already playing #3, taking a break because Magnetman kicked my ass all over the stage, had to fight him like 20 times, then I found out I can slide.... made the battle easier but still was hard. Wrote the password down to keep on playing tomorrow. The dare (or bet) is o finish all 10 in a week, already in my 3rd day....
