I think this game broke the developers, even with these effort some people still hates it...and maybe that's why they refused to reinvent megaman for a long time until 11, also maybe why they return to form on 10 and 9... . And X continued these kind of graphics from Megaman X4 to X7.. .
I always loved playing this game all the way to the ending and seeing the credits with the great ending song. I really loved seeing the fan drawings. You can tell a lot came from children, who just happen to have the best imaginations ever.
My favorite Mega Man game. Music was great in this one. This game got me thinking of the future, in a world full of robots that are self aware, but sadly way past our time. I get depressed knowing me and this entire generation will no longer be around to see the amazing things the future holds, or to even see the sun set.
The gameplay is decent, the music IMO is bland, though some songs are good and the design, while childish, is pleasant and nice to look at. In my case it's because of certain sections that slow down the game (snowboard and shooting sections), the easy difficulty of the game overall (though some parts are a pain), the voice acting and that it doesn't give you the freedom to fight all of the 8 robots, instead forcing you to fight 4 and then 4.
I don't really get your complaint on the graphics blending in. There was only a few segments where the graphics blended in, and it isn't no where near as bad as some of the 8 bit game's 3-5 pixels only projectiles, especially any electricity based attacks.
Actually, only three of the Robot Master slot's had a base criterion. Those being a robot master with long arms (Clown Man), a two-headed robot master (Search Man), and a Split Robot master with a giant sword (Obviously Sword Man). Meanwhile Tengu Man and Astro Man we're both made by the developers, and the rest of the robot masters could have been any ideas (Grenade Man, Aqua Man, and Frost Man).
The reason there are so many submissions with similar influences (two segmented robot with a sword attachment, two headed robot, robots with long appendages) is due to the way the character submission contest was run. They provided several "template" robots for fans to base their art off of. From the Wiki: "For this contest a template was given for three of the six bosses that would receive the Dr. Wily Prize: one boss character with a sword (the winner being Sword Man), one with extendible arms (Clown Man), and one with two heads (Search Man). The other winners were Frost Man, Grenade Man and Aqua Man. Tengu Man and Astro Man were made by Capcom" The templates were relatively unfinished simple grey robots with some characteristics predefined: Sword Template was a robot holding a broadsword with a separate torso and leg component Extendible arms was a long armed dwarf robot with large feet and segmented arms that draped all the way to the ground Two heads was a robot with two heads.
I think you might be right. That genie is dark purple just like Mist Man. I also saw what could be the origin of SharkMan. Seeing this art lends credence to my idea that ColorMan was based on Clown Man: Clown Man's concept art shows him sitting on a ball!
this game kinda saved my life as a kid, i have to love it, even with the crappy VA.. it reminds me of the time where i didnt worry about monsters trying to kill me.
Oh no, this was just a 90's progressive romance anime between Mega Man and Duo! I should've seen it. (Although Duo looks like he's from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, so I don't blame Rock for being in love with him)

This game is awesome. Way better than 6 and 7. I love the credits; putting the original drawing next to the finalized design was such a nice touch, and some of the unused entries were awesome too. Great job, Capcom!
Why does the evil energy come out of Mega Man's crotch? Can Duo's voice actor even read? Was Dr Light chwring tin foil while he spoke? Perhaps it's better if we DONT know all those things... this sucks bad enough as it is
Lol, the voice for Megaman sounds like he's a 7 year old child... I know Lan's in like Kindergarten, but seriously, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO SOUND 7 YEARS OLD!!!
@JadePharaoh Aye... it is probably due to them not being used to working with a more varied type of soundfont that the Playstation offered. It all just kind of muddled into the background being too hard to notice... Maybe if they would have offered volume adjustment so it could have been louder...
I love how they cared enough about their fans to acknowledge their fan art and put it on the credits.they even used some of the ideas for their bosses Much love and respect for that.🔥♥️🔥♥️
Man, I feel bad for you guys who only played the English version of this game. The Japanese version of the ending credit began with the song "Brand New Way" sung by the same woman as Rockman's voice actress before fading into the credit music above. You guys also missed the opening song, "Electric Communication" sung by the same singer/voice actress.
i was bored today so i picked up my playstation and played megaman completely out in 1 rip*including pee and eat breaks* i timed it,it took me 2:32 hours to beat it :p
I don't get why you so greatly dislike 8. It's my favorite of the series. I loved the new look, while still keeping everything else that made it Rockman. Sure, the dub voices were cancer but that's nothing new. I mean look at RE. I'm so happy RE is making a comeback, it's about high time Rockman gets its love too. Specifically a ZX3, because that ZXA cliffhanger. Amirite?
FYI, Resident Evil had the exact same English voice acting in its original Japanese release. The actual problem was that while the voice director was fluent in English, he didn't have mastery of it and put most of his emphasis on tone, hence the quality of linereads being all over the place. The cast turned in a much more consistently good performance in the FMV cutscenes.
Even though bad voice acting screwed up this game, it was the funnest graphic game in the history of Megaman And it made me happy in my childhood years and looking back at it I want to make my own playthrough and show off my skills one day when I afford the things needed to record from my T.V and I also love your playthrough it was fun to watch so thanks 4 making this video.
Wow, Auto's only line was "Alright!", yet it was the best voice in the game. Also, maybe Capcom sholud attempt a 128-bit Mega Man on the Wii. The system would handle it a heck of a lot better than the PS1 does with this one.
7:36 bass is melting 6:32 it isn't a coincidence. In the Robot Master contest of this game, Capcom said that three of the six robots to be chosen to appear in the game had to have a specific appearance, being one with a sword and separable body (sword man), one with two heads (Search Man), and one with long extendable arms (clown man) . You can see the other themes too, like tea man
is just because i didn't have creativity to create robot masters XD,and here in Brazil don't have too much words,for example:frost,freeze,and chill had almost he same signification

@Seraphicat I... CANNOT... believe, they... actually did that! The pauses... were too... obviously, SHATNER! ...The voice acting is the right kind of bad in this game sometimes... the hilarious kind of bad. XD
What is it with video games and anime style endings, staring into a sunset, that little eye thing around 3:49 and a simple "thank you" from a friend who'll never be seen again?
"Long-distance relationships", we have seen stuff like that before. You will see it in most anime, but long distance relationships are seen in to in 2 games I know of, this and Sonic 2 (Sega Master System and Game Gear).
@JadePharaoh remember too this was just like the beginning of voice acting in videogames. Nothing was really good or bad at the time for voice acting...
0:53, He has to use up half of his power to recover mega man from the dark energy that was in him. P.S. Thats why he was yelling and what you said their it made me laugh XD
Its funny some of these fan arts look like robots from 9 and 10 (or at least gave capcom ideas for 9 and 10). I also notice, only one female robot, one! wow. But that robot just looks like Super roll from marvel vs capcom series. Good job on the uploads, can't wait for MM7 (have to see 10 first but its ok).
All of the voice acting had to have been recorded in a single take. Ditto for X4. It seems obvious Capcom wasn't willing to put a lot of time or effort into it. Then again, that was a relatively new thing at the time and while I was impressed when it first came it, it hasn't aged as well as a lot of other games. My biggest problem with MM8, though, was the music. Most of the MM games have a lot of great music, but most of the tunes in this game were very lackluster, with only a few exceptions.
why nobody every thinked in this: toxic man,ghost man,or shield man?if someday i can make an fan game of megeman i will put some robot masters that i created by myself =)
"Am I alive?"
"No, Megaman, you're a wobot. Now go clean my lab until Wiwy shows up again."
Wahwee
Doctah Wahwee
So I guess he cleaned that lab for 9 years
I absolutely LOVED Mega Man 8 (still do) 👍
Me too,although Megas And Lights voices.But except that,everything is awesome
really loved megaman 8 too :)
I think this game broke the developers, even with these effort some people still hates it...and maybe that's why they refused to reinvent megaman for a long time until 11, also maybe why they return to form on 10 and 9...
.
And X continued these kind of graphics from Megaman X4 to X7..

eddie is so cute and mega mam is crying and proto man can't get down in the tree
Duo: Mega Man, I can see into your mind....
(Duo now looks shocked)
Mega Man: I can explain everything.
07:22 uh....Zero's look alike sister?
this game is great, gameplay is amazing, it has great music and the design style was cool, dont know why people complain about it
The gameplay is decent, the music IMO is bland, though some songs are good and the design, while childish, is pleasant and nice to look at.
In my case it's because of certain sections that slow down the game (snowboard and shooting sections), the easy difficulty of the game overall (though some parts are a pain), the voice acting and that it doesn't give you the freedom to fight all of the 8 robots, instead forcing you to fight 4 and then 4.

It's no coincidence about the number of two-headed designs. Each Robot Master slot had a single basic criterion. One slot's was "Has two heads".
Actually, only three of the Robot Master slot's had a base criterion. Those being a robot master with long arms (Clown Man), a two-headed robot master (Search Man), and a Split Robot master with a giant sword (Obviously Sword Man). Meanwhile Tengu Man and Astro Man we're both made by the developers, and the rest of the robot masters could have been any ideas (Grenade Man, Aqua Man, and Frost Man).
Yeah, I was going off faulty memory with that one
I remember playing this song in my CD player, I was honestly bumping this track, it had that jazz feel to it💯
Me too
7:20
This is Zero's early design, right? I remember reading that Early concept Zero was Roll who was kidnapped by Wily.
6:50
Megaman: A three legged CatBot!
Catbot: that ain't my leg ;)
6:50
Timeman / THEROLLYTPER Megaman hasn’t recovered from the catbot to this day.

Extendible arms was a long armed dwarf robot with large feet and segmented arms that draped all the way to the ground
Two heads was a robot with two heads.
2:54 That look on Roll's face proves she's in love with Mega Man and really cares about him.
Probably just sibling love as they were programmed to be brother and sister. But yeah, she definitely cares about him like family.
7:21 That Robot Master girl should be a good replacement for Astro Man.
That's so cool for Capcom to reach out and ASK their fans for robot master ideas!
Duo: With your help, this planet will survive.
Me: Better not play any of the X games on then...
A Genie Man/Djinn Man would be pretty cool.
Well, theoretically, Capcom took that idea and made MistMan.Exe in Megaman Battle Network series.
And then we had Flame Man back in MM6...
Turban =/= genie design.
I think you might be right. That genie is dark purple just like Mist Man. I also saw what could be the origin of SharkMan.
Seeing this art lends credence to my idea that ColorMan was based on Clown Man: Clown Man's concept art shows him sitting on a ball!
6:10. THE BEST. Seriously they could've just kept it like that and i'd've loved it.
this game kinda saved my life as a kid, i have to love it, even with the crappy VA.. it reminds me of the time where i didnt worry about monsters trying to kill me.
His eye's when he hears the name Duo
makes me think he's in love with Duo
Oh no, this was just a 90's progressive romance anime between Mega Man and Duo! I should've seen it. (Although Duo looks like he's from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, so I don't blame Rock for being in love with him)
My name for the Robot Masters at 5:52:
Devil Man
Sumo Man
Guardian Man

Kitchen Man

Pirate Man
Beast Man
Shark Man
Music Man
Genie Man
Mummy Man
Fairy Woman
Rat Man
Volcano Man
Sushi Man
Clock Man
Waterfall Man
Kinda wish the Let's Dub Project guys would dub this game. They would definitely do a better job than the actual VA's.
QUESTION: why does roll sound older than mega man!?
Shimmer832 I ask myself the same question.
Shimmer832 because CAPCOM cannot find and 10 year old boy voice actors
They sound like the exact same people, actually.
Plus, mega man hardly sounds ten, but more of 6 or 7. Where'd they get so high pitched?
why does mega man sound more like a girl than roll?
I saw pirate man from megaman and bass and clock man from rockman and forte mirai Kara no chousensha
This game is awesome. Way better than 6 and 7. I love the credits; putting the original drawing next to the finalized design was such a nice touch, and some of the unused entries were awesome too. Great job, Capcom!
7:32 Magma Man?
I agree, why pick Aqua Man instead of Pirate Man?
I also thought some of the RM were hilarious: Tea Man, Tambourine Man, and Mouse Man.
Mega Man X Duo - XD
Why does the evil energy come out of Mega Man's crotch?
Can Duo's voice actor even read?
Was Dr Light chwring tin foil while he spoke?
Perhaps it's better if we DONT know all those things... this sucks bad enough as it is
Megaman's sleeping face is the cutest thing ever. >~
When I read the description, I felt pain, and with the credits...
1:37
is that suppose to be Quint or something?
1:42 and Gutsman got remade AGAIN!!!
Do you mean "1:37" & "1:42
Mega man 8 is my favorite game
@TurquoiseStar17 I will say this... the actual run of Mega Man 7 has been recorded for awhile. XD I have just been posting others first.
Lol, the voice for Megaman sounds like he's a 7 year old child... I know Lan's in like Kindergarten, but seriously, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO SOUND 7 YEARS OLD!!!
Dr. Wah-Wee…
@JadePharaoh Aye... it is probably due to them not being used to working with a more varied type of soundfont that the Playstation offered. It all just kind of muddled into the background being too hard to notice... Maybe if they would have offered volume adjustment so it could have been louder...
How come they didnt show Tengu Man and Astro Man in the credits? Is it because they appeared in Megaman and Bass?
I love how they cared enough about their fans to acknowledge their fan art and put it on the credits.they even used some of the ideas for their bosses
Much love and respect for that.🔥♥️🔥♥️
Man, I feel bad for you guys who only played the English version of this game.

sadly, they didn't added Tengu Man and Astro Man
Plug Man at 6:15 I noticed.
i was bored today so i picked up my playstation and played megaman completely out in 1 rip*including pee and eat breaks* i timed it,it took me 2:32 hours to beat it :p
play the saturn version
7:20 my favorite boss concept.
2:50. *Tear* Megaman sounded like a child being born!
2:50
6:51 he was drawn his member?
Interesting to see that all the masters were based on fan submissions, despite all the liberties being taken into their final designs
I don't get why you so greatly dislike 8. It's my favorite of the series. I loved the new look, while still keeping everything else that made it Rockman. Sure, the dub voices were cancer but that's nothing new. I mean look at RE.
I'm so happy RE is making a comeback, it's about high time Rockman gets its love too. Specifically a ZX3, because that ZXA cliffhanger. Amirite?
Death Templer why do you call it rock man if you aren't Japanese?
because it is America they (i SERIOUSLY fear guessing gender on the internet) can do whatever they well please
FYI, Resident Evil had the exact same English voice acting in its original Japanese release. The actual problem was that while the voice director was fluent in English, he didn't have mastery of it and put most of his emphasis on tone, hence the quality of linereads being all over the place.

yesss

Why didn't Megaman try to kill wily again like he did in megaman 7 or 8?
Wow, Auto's only line was "Alright!", yet it was the best voice in the game.
Also, maybe Capcom sholud attempt a 128-bit Mega Man on the Wii. The system would handle it a heck of a lot better than the PS1 does with this one.
What I find weird is that Duo looks like this badass tough guy, but has such a deadpan voice.
7:20
That one almost looks like Roll wearing Zero's armor!
7:20
7:36 bass is melting
6:32 it isn't a coincidence.

is just because i didn't have creativity to create robot masters XD,and here in Brazil don't have too much words,for example:frost,freeze,and chill had almost he same signification
For some reason, in the PS1, THAT scene was the first cutscene when I start the game, aside from the opening.
rRecoveryProd Your were playing a pirated copy which is ripped, let me guess, It had other 2 games in the disc?
rRecoveryProd Ya, You played the Hacked Copy of Megaman 8, Why Capcom didn't had their Security Sticker and Anti-Piracy, and Copy Projection?

El uriel man 7:27
Well, did one guy do the voices of both heads for Search Man or did he have a helper?
As much as Id like to bitch about MegaMan's voice, lets not forget his japanese voice is also high pitched kid like...
They've actually listed the voice actors
Someone help I'm crying
I ahm Doctah Leights verse acter!
The venergy resaurces
why is it when you do a search for the mm8 ending theme in midi it is always Final Countdown?
6:15 Plug Man
I think they forgot Tengu Man (DWN-057) and Astro Man (DWN-058) in the credits.
uff these credits are BEAUTIFUL :") , megaman 8, the best megaman in my opinion.
dou's yelling gives him powers
why hasn't the original mega man been given an anime in this style?
@Seraphicat I... CANNOT... believe, they... actually did that! The pauses... were too... obviously, SHATNER! ...The voice acting is the right kind of bad in this game sometimes... the hilarious kind of bad. XD
What is it with video games and anime style endings, staring into a sunset, that little eye thing around 3:49 and a simple "thank you" from a friend who'll never be seen again?
Because Astro Man and Tengu Man were designed by Capcom themselves and not one of the fan contestant winners.
1:20 I love this music.
"Long-distance relationships", we have seen stuff like that before. You will see it in most anime, but long distance relationships are seen in to in 2 games I know of, this and Sonic 2 (Sega Master System and Game Gear).
I really love the last one's design. He looks awesome!
7:11 spooky from pacman world 2
I'm with you... this and MMX are probably my favourite MM games.
Wow, looking at the other entries, WHY DIDN'T PIRATE MAN GET IN?
Screw aqua man.
@JadePharaoh remember too this was just like the beginning of voice acting in videogames. Nothing was really good or bad at the time for voice acting...
around 7:00 the future metal shark player for X6
7:23 VERY similar to X8's Alia
0:53, He has to use up half of his power to recover mega man from the dark energy that was in him.
P.S. Thats why he was yelling and what you said their it made me laugh XD
I see that some of those drawings also got into battle network.
what is the bonus mode?????????
Its funny some of these fan arts look like robots from 9 and 10 (or at least gave capcom ideas for 9 and 10). I also notice, only one female robot, one! wow. But that robot just looks like Super roll from marvel vs capcom series. Good job on the uploads, can't wait for MM7 (have to see 10 first but its ok).
2:57
3:05 no megaman, everyone else is dead...
then roll dies and protoman becomes zero
aquaman fan artwork is a lot better than the ingame aquaman design
Duo should've made an apperance in 9 or 10! Maybe he will when 11 comes out...
Mega Man 7, 8 and 10 are awesome in my opinion. I play those in Legacy Collection 2 and I own Legacy Collection 1 on Switch.
I own Legacy Collection 2 on Xbox One.
Drat. And I thought Mega Man would never have to bother my brother again.
What is Bonus mode? It is just a 'New Game+' thing?
"Poodle man!" 🐩🐩🐩
1:54 ...anyone else notice the location where the dark energy came out? O_o
Y aquí va el último buen juego de Mega Man, antes de que saliera el Mega Man 11
No way, all the ones between those two are good as well.
All of the voice acting had to have been recorded in a single take. Ditto for X4. It seems obvious Capcom wasn't willing to put a lot of time or effort into it. Then again, that was a relatively new thing at the time and while I was impressed when it first came it, it hasn't aged as well as a lot of other games.
My biggest problem with MM8, though, was the music. Most of the MM games have a lot of great music, but most of the tunes in this game were very lackluster, with only a few exceptions.
why nobody every thinked in this: toxic man,ghost man,or shield man?if someday i can make an fan game of megeman i will put some robot masters that i created by myself =)
Great video quality. Great work :-)
Why did they only show 6 of the robot masters?
