Megaman 2 Megadrive version (Dr Willy Wars)

[figaro589]

I personally prefer the Mega Drive version more. I don't know if it's because I like the soundchip more than most other consoles. I do prefer some games on other consoles, but meh... it's only my opinion.

I'll always love my Mega Drive <3

[SinisterSwiss]

I can't be the only one who laughed at "Dr. Willy".

[RobChapman91]

The original is definitely better, but I actually REALLY liked this after 0:47. After that point this actually gets pretty awesome.

[dakatubes]

hmm what are all this 8 bit surplus xD

[Gamewitzer]

Typical PAL 50Hz slower music. Never bothered me in the old days but now it just sounds wrong.

[TheSpark717]

could be a bit faster

[abc2390986]

Is it the pal version? The NA version is much faster

[Mikeys9607TE]

@abc2390986 Yes

[LordWhorfinX2]

absolutely awful......NES FTW!

[darnu123456789]

This is the PAL version of the game (released in Europe), which runs 50 mhz or so slower. The one that was on the Sega Channel (America) was the NTSC version, which is the same speed as the NES Version (America). Japan got both versions. (Why, I don't know.)

[devilmanakira]

50 Hz, sucks.

[apogalypse]

thats why the sega version sucked the speed

[Firesonic98]

You know this is better,but you don't understand,it was a worldwide great game.

I may not have this but when comparing this to the NES version,Sega got it right!!!!

[JediLink123]

Would be great if it were a bit faster.

[chiggerzero]

This is the PAL Version which runs at a lower 50Hz speed compared to The Japanese NTSC version "Rockman Mega World" or the US version which run at the standard 60Hz speed.

So you guys may want to check it out.

[MegamanZXer77]

(I'm so gonna bashed for this) I do prefer the normal speed and NES version, but i don't see why people have to bash the slower version, let alone the Megadrive version (or slow megadrive version)

[Deboogs]

Megadrive can't handle the awesomeness of the original music.

[chiggerzero]

Check out the original Rockman Mega World which runs at the original 60Hz speed

[DehnusNorder]

@MegamanZXer77 It is only slower because he put the 60hz version on a 50hz machine which slows it down 10 percent. If you get the correct version it will sound perfect! But Fanboys always grasp at straws.

[MegamanZXer77]

@DehnusNorder Yeah, I know it's slower because of PAL sound *lives in UK and had PAL speed Sonic 1*, but it's honestly not that bad at all. It's still Megaman

[figaro589]

@MegamanZXer77

there is no "normal" version. I believe you're used to the NTSC version of the song. I prefer the NTSC version. Mega Man 3's intro in PAL sounds better, though :)

[Swimmingchao]

Megaman got equipped with:

Slow ass music blaster.

[Bongores]

Why in the fuck did you use the shitty pal version?

[NightbladeEagle]

What can I say - this doesn´t sound as badass as the Original but I like it.

[nintendude8]

the reason the song is so slow is because of the emulator. go to options-video and put frame skip on 0

[nicktendowii]

yeah the nes versoin is alot better, is this megadrive one a real game or just a rom? i mean can you buy it?

[Krystallwolvelt]

You can only get the megadrive versions of megaman 1,2 and 3 all in one collection only called "Megaman Dr Willy Wars" I have to say try ebay cause I don't know how hard it will be to find this game in non popular game stores, it was hard for me to find the RKA trilogy.

its only for real big mm fans imo I just got into megaman since I beat MM9 like 10 times lol I love the classic NES style.

[RockHard6667]

Well it used to be in "Sega Channel" in the Usa while in Europe they have the actual cartrige so....get an Euro Megadrive (Genisis in america)and get that cartrige

[nicktendowii]

that's good, as i live in the UK anyway so i can go on ebay and find it!

[SilentBun]

yeah I agree the nes version is alot more charming.

[Krystallwolvelt]

Most megadrive soundtracks suck but some I like Splaterhouse, Altered Beast and Alien 3 they all had bad music but the games were awesome.

[SilentBun]

yah the megadrive soundtracks tend to sound abit too primative, sonic music is quite good though.

[Krystallwolvelt]

We all know sonic's music is the best on megadrive there is only a few other games tht have a great quality of soundtrack to.

[SilentBun]

Yeah, it's amazing what sonic team got out of the system in contrast to every other game.

[supergameboy94]

@Krystallwolvelt The Streets of Rage series would be the best example!

[evilotto91]

sonic had a sick sountrack

[MattTheSpratt]

*headdesk*

You guys really need to lurk more.

Theres loads of fantastic music on Mega Drive, you just need to look around a bit more.

[SJ496]

it's LURK MOAR NEWFAG

[MattTheSpratt]

Either work.

[SJ496]

meh it least you're not breaking Rules 1 and 2

[MattTheSpratt]

What, don't mention /b-OH SHIT

[SteveElOtaku]

@MattTheSpratt Like: Streets of Rage (especially 2), Sonic, the Shinobi games, and anything by Yuzo Koshiro.

[MattTheSpratt]

@SteveElOtaku Right on.

Also, may add Jesper Kyd and Tommy Tallarico.

[SteveElOtaku]

@MattTheSpratt Oh yeah, how could I forget?

[capnbarfy]

@MattTheSpratt There may be loads of fantastic music on the system, but the ones that aren't so fantastic (which is many as well) tend to stick out like sore thumbs and are painful to listen to (this rendition made me cringe a bit).

There were plenty of publishers who knew how to compose good music for the YM2612 such as Sega themselves and Konami, but there were just as many (if not more) who simply couldn't. Capcom unfortunately was one of them.
