Rockman X is Over

[Mirby]

Meanwhile I'm just sitting here in the middle enjoying what we do have and not being stuck in the past, or telling people to move on from the past (since that has been proven countless times to be a waste of time).

We're getting MM2 on 3DS VC soon, iirc. That should be fun.

In regards to XOver... I'm also of the mind that I won't judge it until I play it. Because I'm always of that mind.

X-Over did well in Japan, it's North America's own seething rage that's preventing Capcom from releasing any new Megaman content (We apparently scare them) and probably the reason they killed off Legends and Universe, because strictly Japan sales isn't enough to carry a game.

Console releases need a good North America market to survive because of our higher middle class income compared to China and India (the other two leading game markets), whereas iOS games do well world wide since they're super cheap and -everyone- owns a cellphone in those other areas.

This thursday, actually.

And it isn't going to be fun.
Know why?

Because after they release MM2 we get a [tornado fang]ing TBA for MM3, which pretty much stands for "Late November/December 2014" Because everybody knows NoA VC gets updates at speeds not unlike a glacier.

[Reaperoid]

Meanwhile, I never get Megaman 6 on WiiVC.
Disappointed.

I don't remember there being much rage before they killed Legends and Universe.
It was after those two got canned (especially Legends) that everybody just lost their [parasitic bomb].
Myself included, I admit.

[Sakura Leic]

I was more disappointed with Capcom's decision than the lose of Legends 3.

[Protoman Blues]

It was really just the mindboggingly stupidity of the whole thing that amazed me.

This too.

[Protoman Blues]

I mean hell, I was at the official launch event for the whole shebangabang. It was practically an unofficial RPM meetup!

[Flame]

And the PR disaster that followed

[Sakura Leic]

Especially the European PR, if I remember correctly.

[Flame]

ESPECIALLY the EU PR. That's kind of what kicked it off...

[Sakura Leic]

Ah yes that's right.

Disappointed.

Unless they do a NTSC exception like they did with a few Japan-exclusive games (SMB2J, S&P), Europe/Australia will never get MM6. =w=

[Reaperoid]

I know it'll have to be an import, I just don't want to change what system I play them on.
But, are they even still doing imports? Hell, is the WiiVC even alive anymore?

False. They already said they'll all be out within this year.

Makes sense since it's the 25th anniversary. Therefore, there's no TBA for MM3 (or 4-6 for that matter). It's a vague 2013, but that's a date, not TBA.

[Vile 0]

Yeah, it's been stated as TBA in 2013, so probably late 2013.

[Mirby]

I could've sworn I read once a month somewhere (which makes sense given how we've received the first two games), but I can't seem to find it.

[Hypershell]

momentary break from Fire Emblem...

I just wish they'd release something other than the same NES games that most of us already have three+ copies of.  I mean, I'm desperate enough for Mega Man on my 3DS that I'm buying them a fourth time anyway, so I'm sure Capcom doesn't care.  But all the same, those GB/GBC games would be swell.

...'specially Xtreme2, but looking at the X-series' fate on the Wii VC, I gather that I shouldn't hold my breath.

Oh, and just so that this thread is at least 1% not derailed: New XOver battle music.  I guess after their one original track was so awesome, a follow-up was as close to dignified as anything in the game was going to get.  At least somebody in audio takes their work seriously, circumstances not withstanding.

[parasitic bomb]

That discussion was over for the last seven posts prior, and I'm the obsessive threadjacker who can't let stuff go.

Thank you for amusing me.

She probably wears Zero's extra pair of briefs.  Yes I agree this is more interesting than the arguments.

Who wouldn't?

I think it's more because PXZ isn't really doing well in Japan.

It's actually because the Tekken director guy was pushing for the localization, IIRC.  The first I heard of PxZ bombing was from Objection Man.

'course, maybe it bombed anyway, I don't know.  I heard no official reports either way.

...in all honesty the musical instrument quality of the game is sub-par.  I just don't care when I see that Hadouken/Genmurei combo.  Or Iris.  Or Reiji and Xiaomu.  Or Iris.  Or the giant Servbot.

......

Or Iris.

Damn, that was fun times.  I'm amazed nobody from then spotted me in the next two years; you'd think a 6'5" Luigi would be hard to miss.

Panels, getting sketches, looking at hot cosplayers. No offense! 

[Sakura Leic]

I seriously wish plane tickets weren't so dang expensive, conventions sound so fun!

[Kirby Pink]

Been playing for some time now.

Finally managed to beat first boss in World 5. T_T

It took longer than a month between MM1 and MM2.

I'm just basing this on Nintendo being really shitty with the Virtual Console.

Remember Sonic Labyrinth and Sonic Blast? Both were announced during the 8-Bit Summer thing last year, they're still sitting at the very bottom of the VC list, unreleased. We haven't gotten any word of TG-16 VC, Game Gear is stuck at 3 games forever it seems, and while we get all the Kirby Side games, we don't appear to be getting Dream Land 2 anytime soon.

[Mirby]

Regardless, they've all been confirmed for 2013.

Well I really hope that fans of the X series are still around, because I'm just rigging my Vile model to do a tech demo for my series in the next month.
