They should have kept the good old 2D graphics with a HD touch, this fake 3D is quite ugly. Why is it that every good games wanna go 3D all of a sudden : Bomberman, Megaman, Castlevania, hell, even Sparkster got a bad lifting (and the list is non-exhaustive). 3D games always get painful to watch after a few years but 2D is way prettier and never gets old. They should get it to their heads : WE WANT BEAUTIFUL 2D games, not TASTELESS 3D games. More games like Muramasa or Odin Sphere!
Maverick Hunter X's music was complete ass to the SNES version, it was just really quiet techno versions of all the great originals, I hate listening to them, I keep trying to give them a chance but it doesnt work, its just crap compared the SNES versions.
You forgot to mention every fucking time you fire your weapon he says something stupid like "FIRE WAVE! FIRE WAVE! FIRE WAVE! FIRE WAVE!" Like jesus shut the fuck.
The dialogue is also pretty cheezy compared to the original
@LD1E60 well, MAYBE the NDS can beat PSP's graphics of this game, cuz i saw many games of PSP and they were awesome, but this...is a bit sad, maybe the users never spected the remake like this one, maybe with the power of the PSP they spected higher graphics...i loved the "anime" style of the scenes btw
@MHZNOMISS Actually they cant cuz even if this game has 2D graphics (well 2.5D) it has too many detail on the designed that the DS cant do (sad but true if you ask me)
@MHZNOMISS Actually not you can notice that the character models and other details, that the quality is a bit lower than the original (sadly), so not DS has not so good graphics but still...
The only thing that i hate in this version is the music. They made it like Eletronic, but the original sounds like Rock/Metal. I don't know why new games don't use rock/metal in soundtrack =/
And just to go back on that argument 3 months ago for the hell of it while I'm here, I might as well say that in retrospect I meant that accessibility affects one's ability to buy a game, not the quality of the game itself. Accessibility only really reflects back on the gaming company. If I had said that there would probably have been much less of a misunderstanding.
I shouldn't have brought up ratings entirely. Oh well.
I'd give it a higher score if the idiots released it for an affordable game system.
I'm sorry but it was a bad decision. They made an excellent remake and didn't make enough money for it because they were trying to give it to the wrong audience. A few rare people bought the PSP just to get this game and Mega Man Powered Up, but it wasn't enough. Now they won't make a Maverick Hunter X 2 because they don't realize where they fucked up.
I'm not buying a PSP just for one or two games. It has a shitty library and I don't want a PSP. But it's not even ABOUT what I want. It's about what a vast majority of the world wants, and that's NOT a PSP.
Ok then your not getting this game. Theres no reason whining over it to go to another console because it most likely wont. You said youd give it a higher rating if it was for an affordable system. There no that much. Just because you dont have the console doesnt mean its not as fun as if it was on your console. And you cant say if the majority of people dont want a psp. because obviously people do.And there was a shit library,got a lot better, and now getting tons of great stuff.
Really? So when IGN reviews a game for ps3 only, and say the reviewer didnt own a ps3, he would deduct points? I understand that if your mentally retarded. But if not, thats fucking stupid. A good games a good game.
I know the difference, and you were doing a little of both. But mainly whining.
IGN is professional, and wouldn't do this. I would. Personal preference. And you're acting like my rating of the accessibility changes the funness or quality of the gameplay. I never said it did.
It doesn't serve any purpose to whine so I don't see why you'd think I'm doing it. I'm not expecting there to be another MHX, be it a sequel or a port. But we both know it didn't get the sales that it should have because it was on the wrong platform.
Ok all im saying is its stupid to lower a games score just because the platform its on. Its just dumb.
Ive seen it just about every time i went to gamestop so it cant be that rare.
Yes i know psp sales wernt great. But how can they get better without these kinds of games? Capcom has always supported sony too. Plus psp sales are about to go up. Has a lot of great games coming out. And DS has some mm exclusives too.If you want them all buy the system.
I don't think I've liked anything MegaMan that was made for the DS, really. All of them are terrible whether or not you want to compare them to Maverick Hunter X and Mega Man Powered Up.
Maybe you're going to the same Gamestop and seeing the same copy every time.
Now BECAUSE it didn't get those sales, we have a problem. The game went out of production pretty damn quick. So even the people who wanted it couldn't get it then because it's become rare.
Anyway all I'm really doing at this point is defending myself and wishing you would grow up and shut up, as with my health deteriorating daily I could feel a lot better without these goddamn emails directing me to your comments insisting that I'm "whining" when really I just want this conversation to end.
makin the new megaman 3D doesnt look rite to me. i like how it was classes becuz the character look better to me and havin it 3D jus look weird. thats my opinion
Other notable differences you might have pointed out regarding this remake of the first MMX game, is that the bosses look slightly different from their original SNES designs. Well I mean they look pretty much the same but they look slightly different if you compare them. And of course there's the re-location of the armor capsules which some people here have already pointed out. But hey, I'm just naming a few other things regarding this game.
Great review man. You sure did one heck of a job pointing out the differences, alikeness, and what makes the game enjoyable. And I also agree about what you said regarding the short unlockable anime sequence. It's quite entertaining and the animation and voice acting in my opinion is far superior to that from Megaman X4. Anyway, great review.
You should have gone into more detail on the major changes of the game, including:
-They changed the position of some armor capsules and which ones you get at which place.
-Sigma's Palace is remade from the ground up, while borrowing a handful of elements from the original SNES levels.
Otherwise, good review. I happen to own the game and i have beaten it both X and Vile's story (Just yesterday for the latter) on normal mode. I plan on playing hard mode soon...
I may be getting this game on monday and boy am I looking forward to it! even though Sonic is my favorite video game Character, when it comes to CAPCOM to me it doesn't get any better than Mega Man, specially if it's Mega Man X, X rocks!!!!!
Alright I will. But first im gettin megaman collection and megaman x collection for ps2. Gana get em both like next week wen i go back to the store. And sonic is my second facvorite character. Right behind Megaman. They both rock!!!!
Well, looks like we love the same characters, exept that to me, Mega Man is #2 and Sonic is #1, and I also own both the Mega Man Collection and Mega Man X Collection, it was worth it, the first Mega Man game I ever played was Mega Man X4 on the PS, I loved it and still do.
My bro had me play megaman 3 i think it was when i was like 6. I was reall hard back then but i loved it. Then we started playing sonic 1-3 on the genesis and i loved them too. I don't like sonics newer games though.
Well, I don't blame you, but it seems that the Real Sonic The Hedgehog is starting to come back, Sonic Unleashed even though the parts where he's monster Sonic may not be so great, when you play as normal Sonic, well it's just like the older games, Mega Man's recent games weren't so great either but Mega Man 9 seems o have fixed it, in conclusion, Sonic and Mega Man are starting to come back.
Serious ly get BOTH!!! they're both good!!!! I don't own Maverick Hunter X, until Monday that is, but it looks awesome, but I do own Powered Up, it's awesome, best part, you can choose the difficulty, first there's easy mode which is.... easy, but if you want a challenge you can play it on Normal or even Hard and, you can unlock Sliding and Charge Shott, seriously get both!!!!
@GamMan93 I know it's a year later, just came across this, but i think that if this is anything like Megaman X than get this over Megaman Powered up lol hopefully i saved you from boredom in time :P lol
This game has just been added on the psp ps store sale section for $4.99
