Mods:
Required to play:
4 Minus Infinity: colossal work, from remixed music from different NES titles and enemies from different mega man games to levels and bosses that will make you sweat hype. There are slopes, ok!?
Ultimate: completely new game, may as well have been made by Capcom (except good haha), easily up there with 9 and 10
7 FC and 8 FC: make 7 and 8 into 8 bit gold with 9 in mind. If you're wary of 8 (and there's not a whole bunch of reasons), play the demake
Suggested to play:
3 BC: complete remake fasting the game's fastage to fastest fastility
5 AS: complete remake adding air slide
4 BCAS: baby of 3BC and 5AS - complete remake with super speed and air slide

FAQ:
> Where should I start?
1, unless you're 16-babby in which case consider X. Make your way onward.
> Does 8 suck?
It's mediocre at the very best for a mega man game, but it's still a shitload of fun. If shitty camera triggers you too much, play the demake, 8 FC. Good game.
> Are there gonna be demakes for Powered Up and Bass?
Doesn't seem to likely at all, in fact forget about it. Let's hope someone else picks up the idea and does it.
> I have autism and can't play mish-mash mods like MI, are there any games with integrity?
Ultimate should be your first choice, also play MM X SF and perhaps 3-5 BC-AS series as well.
> Series aside from Classic and X worth playing?
Eh...
> Anything "special" I wanna know about?
Mega man 8-bit Death match. Personally, I play every other evening.
Couple of levels for 2.5 already available: http://petersjostrand.com/index.php/faq
> Is Wily Wars worth playing?
If you simply can't miss anything classic mega man, there's a cheat code for instant access to Wily's Tower, original bit of WW. Aside from that, the port is shit. Music murdered, graphics below average like it's some C genesis title, buster doesn't even shoot right.
> What about Powered Up?
Graphics is controversial, but it's a fine remake with ability to play as robot masters. New ones suck though.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get a full set of controllers for my N64, got a couple of them so far but the analogs are pretty worn, and I always fuck up my controller fixes/replacements. What third party brand is decent enough? I know it'll never be like a brand new official Nintendo controller, but I just need the analogs to not be complete garbage.
Hori.
But what you should be doing is just taking that shit apart with a Phillips head and throwing some Gamecube style sticks in. No soldering, you just unplug the old stick and screw in the new one, it's so easy a 10 year old could do it.

Only replacement worth a shit are the sticks from the german guy.
Obligatory buy sticks from german guy post
Do you like any retro vidya to cartoon/movie adaptations, /vr/?
I'm not ashamed to say I actually like the Zelda cartoon. I just don't like that Link looks and sounds like Stormy from Sealab 2021.
And the best decision DiC ever made was using sound effects from the games in all of their Nintendo cartoons. I wonder why they never thought to do that with any of the Sonic cartoons?
>>3344540
>I wonder why they never thought to do that with any of the Sonic cartoons?
Even stranger, in one episode of AoStH, Sonic goes into a special stage and grabs rings, but the rings make this weird popping sound instead of the actual sound effect.
>>3344564
Now that you mention it, there was an episode with a giant pinball machine in it, which easily could have been a spinball tie in, but it wasn't, and it used a bunch of Mario sound effects.
Which system has better 3D?
Which system has better 2D?
Which system has better FMV?
Which system has better music?
Which system has better sound effects?
Which system has the better game library?
Which system has the better homebrew scene?
Which system has better controllers?
Which system's failure on the console market was more tragic?
What are the games that show the full potential of each console?
I think the 3DO had better controllers, better sound and a better library (Street Fighter 2, Star Control 2, Road Rash). Jaguar probably had better 3D. I think the Jaguar was probably the more tragic failure since the 3DO was doomed from the start with its weird licensing arrangement.
I don't think anyone can argue 3do had the better library. On paper its library was bretty good for a first console.
Jaguar had too complicated architecture so we've never managed to see what this machine is capable of.
Jaguar CD is a joke.
I suppose, Jaguar failure was more tragic, because it killed Atari. 3DO just became a publisher.

OP here. Classic NES soundtrack, despite the inability to touch fucking anything in a level.
why are retro video games so expensive?
>>3344036
1. Supply and demand
2. They're out of print
3. Because people will pay absurd amounts for them
The japanese cartdiges/discs aren't.
Why'd I even stop learning nihongo, god damn it. I'm gonna get back into it.
fucking hoarders
games stop being expensive when you stop wanting them. if you want to whine, go to the other inane thread with the exact same topic
>>3344043
the japs sell old games cheap because they don't have the space to hoard, thus games continuously get injected back into the market.
Are there any good new NES-compatible controllers? Preferably with turbo buttons.
>>3343631
There's not really any good ones, but you can get cheap ones from China. Like $3 shipped. Or you can buy replacement pads and refurb all your old ones.
>>3343979
>you can get cheap ones from China
Are they comfortable to use? The only ones with a 7-pin plug I can find on AliExpress (not counting pure copies of NES-controllers, which don't appeal to me at all) are these Dendy Junior-style controllers. Does anyone know if they are any good?

WISE FWOM YO GWAVEwhat's the point of the bear form's spin jump?

The forms are designed to fight the stage boss.

I didn't get much mileage out of the bear, where the wolf and dragon kicked ass on their respective bosses.

Ike's a good unit. I never really thought of him as too good of a lord, though. Gameplay wise, he's a beast. In terms of personality...he's kinda bland from what I'm seeing in PoR
Mulletlord is best
