    Battle Network is peak Mega Man. With that in mind, you may be curious about the lows of the series. Well, I've got you covered. It's time to talk about X7... - ruclips.net/video/XJOcXCvYCjY/видео.html

      Hey matty you should do a video on the Megaman NT Warrior seasons 1 and 2 alongside Rockman.exe Stream and Rockman.exe Beast/Beast+
      Mostly because i feel like this anime/cartoon series doesnt get enough time to shine as the games do. The anime/cartoon series covers the 6 games.

      As someone who recently lost his father I can relate on a metaphysical level man lol. Not a single moment goes by that I don’t think of something my dad said or did for me and I bust out in tears. Sometimes I laugh remembering how funny he was! Anyone who says you can’t cry about it or something can get fucked. A boss I had told me once: “If someone tells you not to cry or it’s been so long since they passed why are you still crying? That person never gave a fuck about their family or anyone in the first place!” I know it’s kinda mean but that shit is most assuredly true in my experience.

      What about Network Transmission on Gamecube? That was my first Mega Man EXE game, I was a huge classic and X fan and I always saw Battle Network as "the lame Mega Man" my opinion has changed since I actually played a bit of Battle Network 1 on Wii U Virtual Console.

    • @Crow_Rising
      @Crow_Rising Год назад +8

      Honestly there's enough side games in the entire franchise that weren't included in previous collections that they could probably just make a whole collection just for them. It's been long enough that it's unlikely we will ever see them be added to previous collections as DLC, so my guess is that it's more likely for them to just drop a big collection of them at some point once the mainline series all get their own legacy collections.

    On the subject of escaping, only battle network 1 lacked an escape option that didn't require a chip, but it's also the only game in the series where you automatically heal after every battle, so at least there's that. BusterMax definitely seems like it'll help get through the more tedious parts of BN1 for newer players, and maybe even series veterans who just can't be bothered to farm a good folder, but want to experience the game again.
    I do agree that not including a map (like they did in the DS re-release) or updating the BN1 system to include an escape option are missed opportunities though.

    for new players. megaman bn 3 Blue is equivalent to the black version in japan, which had additional chips/fights and is considered the cannon/better version. White is probably better for speedruns. 4-6 have two timelines. red sun->colonel -> gregar and then blue moon->protoman-> falzar. mmbn 5 has a similar issue to 3, where protoman came out 6 months before colonel, so the colonel version has more information in it.

      the game has a different approach. with the exception of 2 bosses (and a couple of post game content gimmick) you do not need to be the best deckbuilder ever, you can still get access to almost everything the game has to offer by improvvising.
      but a top of the line deck can basically one-shot the supersecret boss, and the various chip have some unexpected interaction (the ones that put an obstacle completelly disable one of the most dangerous enemy in the serie, for example).

    in regards to the trophies, guaranteed there is a trophy for hunting Bass in his most powerful form in each game. and they mentioned using buster max would not count towards time bonuses or 'real' defeats so beating him in that mode might not allow you to have the defeating bass random encounter version trophy. the story/forced encounters you probably get the marks for though.

      NO. Just NO. Skip number one, it's very much first game syndrome. If you do play it, use Buster MAX for at least the random battles. It'd be best to skip tho.
      Starting with 2 is perfectly fine. 2&3 have the best story by far, 5&6 have the best gameplay. One is very rough around the edges and hard to sit through. Can easily give a bad first impression for the series. Four also has a lot of issues that can leave a bad taste in their mouth. Namely due to RNG on unlocking MegaMan Transformations and needing to not just beat the game, but to beat New Game Plus. . . twice to only potentially seeing all content if RNG goes exactly the way it needs to.
      I'd recommend one of the following play orders
      If you want to experience the series, play 2,3,5 and 6
      If you want the best stories, play 2 and 3
      If you want the most fun battles with meh stories, play 5 and 6.
      Only after completing 2,3,5, and 6, should you play 1 or 4 IMHO.

    Wow. I've recently gotten into emulation handhelds and wasn't planning on picking this up (especially not with the current GBA/reto games bundles they've released) but this is a pretty enticing buy. I'm really happy about that too, I want a reason to get excited to spend money to revisit my favorite old games! If they were to just re-release the same old game with no changes I'd have no real reason to get excited...

    Hey Matty! You forgot to explain the combat systems best part! Say you have a cannon A B C put them in your battle slots in that order and you get a new Chip System Attack. It fixes that "used your chips now buster time" mode we get into. There are SO MANY chip combos for AMAZING ATTACKS!

    Would it be recommendable for an 8 year old? I played it when I was younger and loved the games but I was like 13-17 when the games came out. My nephew is 8 and im trying to get him more into console gaming, this series just seems a tad bit harder than most. I just used the chips & the soul unison thing & never used any program advances.

    I was trying the original a few weeks ago to see the what the hubbub was about. That encounter rate is frustrating so I'm glad it sounds like Capcom recognizes that and added a solution. I was going to skip 1 but maybe I'll pick up this instead.

    • @RaptureSR
      @RaptureSR Год назад +2

      If it helps, 1 is by far the worst game mechanically in the series. They did a lot of refining by they time they released 2 like adding an escape option that doesn't require a chip. The only notable dip in quality aside from BN1 is BN4, and that's more of a design/story issue than a game mechanics one.
      2,3,5, and 6 are all fantastic though. 3 probably had the best story, and 6 was the best in terms of gameplay balance and mechanics.

    Just a little thing, you mentioned that there is nobody using this kind of combat system
    A year ago more or less a game called EndCycle VS was released, they created a game based on this MBN battle system and it's really cool, it's more for people who want to battle online but there is also a 'history mode' where you can practice, get 'chips' and so on

  • @werti4894
    @werti4894 Год назад +1

    one thing I wish Capcom did with collection releases is QoL and general game design improvements. If you look at X5 an X6, both those games are plagued with design issues, but there are amazing fan patches out there that improve them. Yet Capcom didn't learn from those and try to apply such improvements to their games, which is disappointing. I get it, they want to preserve the games the way there are, but I really think it'd be worth patching and upgrading the games to better fit today's standards.

      1 is horribly unwhieldy, as you expect from a first game, but the good starts from there

      5 experience changes a lot between version, and the gimmick of liberation mission is a split 50/50 for love it or hate it
      6 really goes full meta. also, it seems this version will re-introduce that area that was cut from the EU/USA version

    I personally believe the only reason they split th collection in two is because Battle network 4, 5 and 6 have the Boktai stuff in them, which isnt owned by Capcom so when the license expires they can take down 4, 5 and 6 but keep selling 1, 2 and 3 which is fully owned by them.
