What Makes Mega Man 4 Incredible....

MegaMan 4 feels like a natural progression in the series. For some it’s the same old song and dance but there’s so much more. We have had 3 installments and it feels like Capcom is literally running a victory lap around the competition . The addition of the power shot and grappling hook is refreshing and innovative making for great replay value depending on your play style. With every new insta...
Mega Man 3 is Underrated….
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Mega Man 3 was the very first game in the series I ever laid eyes on. Theres no doubt this game influenced me creatively and established much of my early gaming roots. As much as this game has its flaws I believe this game has many strengths that makes it stand out as one of the very best in the Mega Man series. I have received so much positive feedback from many of you regarding these reviews ...
Mega Man 2 is a Perfect Sequel….
Переглядів 1,1 тис.3 місяці тому
I truly adore the characters and story of this game. It’s one game in the franchise I can revisit on a yearly basis…. a MegaMan anniversary of sorts. If you want a recommendation on which of the 6 mainline MegaMan games to play first I say this one bc it’s an excellent starting point to jump into the series with its great stage design, difficulty options, and music tracks.

Played on SMS on my infancy, i really like this one
Hidden Palace had nothing to do with the Master Emerald. All that the large gem was was a stopper for tunnels. It wasn't part of the story.
Thanks for pointing that out. I was always under the assumption it was a reference to Sonic 3 and Knuckles in some sorts since it eventually got reworked into the Sonic 3 story
Great review
Thanks my bro 😎
cool game friend!
🙏
Great vid br0. I do like Sonic 2's levels better, but I hate the bonus stages. Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 have bonus stages that I feel are more fair to the player. Sonic 2's bonus stages tried to be a little too much for their own good. I know many players have eventually memorized and mastered them, but I honestly feel they just aren't as good. It's too bad because the gameplays is top tier.
I agree there the biggest issue I feel is the ring count is so strict a couple hits from the bombs and your toast it can get frustrating. Blue spheres tho! Now your talking 😆
Sonic 2 and 3.... nostalgia 💣
Sonic CD next and then hopefully I can jump into 3
This video is the reason I started a Sonic 2 playthrough. THANKS, M8!
🙏 LMK how it goes!
@RockinKatReviews Brother, Sonic 1 and 2 are my all time favorites! This is AWESOME so far! (I literally started up just now!)
@@sukmykrok3388 let’s goooooooo! Yeah Sonic 1 is Solid I still think it right there with the others a bit slower but the stages are top notch! That 8th special stage they added to Sonic 2 on the collection is awesome
Advanced 2 was my first Sonic game
@@MrNinten-mw4lo great series I played a great deal of SA1 and SA2
2 over 3
I respect that 😎
0:57 Mass Effect and Breath of Fire are two trilogies I go back to very frequently.
Both great! Breath of Fire is my series… BOF 3 was one of my first PS1 RPGs.. Did you play BOF4?
@RockinKatReviews Before Final Fantasy XIV released its Heavensward expansion, BoF3 was my favorite game of all time. It broke my heart that BoF4 didn't live up to it. I really didn't like 4. The story was weak, the characterization was off, and the most important part of a Breath of Fire game, the Dragon transformations, was borked beyond repair. And don't get me started on the Game Point system...
@@ReaverPrime you are spitting facts. I couldn’t agree more with those critics. I loved the gene splicing in 3. The story and most importantly I loved that art style. 3 is my favorite RPG it’s simple charming and just everything I wanted in a classic 2D rpg. Also going beserk and turning super sayian came outta nowhere. I remember telling a buddy I went super sayian as ryu in bof3 and he lost it when I booted up my save file 😆
I’m sorry your very first console for yourself was a sega system smh. The HORROR 😂
😭
It was Mine too, i love it
Awesome video! 🔥 crazy mark cerny went from this to creating the ps4 and 5 for Sony
A true living legend
Sonic 2 is still the goat hands down
🔥
🙏
Sonic 2 was good but I was a Sonic 3 guy personally
Ayyyyy!
Still my favorite of the classics
Great choice!!
Adventure 2 easily...
I put S2 just above S3 mainly due to the zones
It’s honestly too close to say at times both so well done
I can agree with that
Good choice
Excellent video bro! I Istill need to playthrough superstars
I’ll be getting to superstars here shortly
@@RockinKatReviews 😎
Personally I think Mega Man 2 is extremely overrated. Personally I think it's one of the worst nes Mega Man games. The first one was WAY better. However the best of the nes ones is Mega Man 4. The best of the classic series is Mega Man Powered Up.
For me it was always a toss up between MM4 and MM6…Still haven’t played through power up but it looks great!
Anything Sega makes is inferior to the competition that’s why they are out 😂
😭
Sonic 1 was my first game still great
Great choice to go with
This Games was crazy hard
It truly is
Are they available online ...?
I specifically remember having so much freaking trouble with the first world boss. Absolutely annoying to say the least . And the glider pissed me off so much because I couldn’t figure out the mechanics of the glider. Also wouldn’t Sonic CD be next as that was the true Sonic 2?
I believe now the canonical order is officially S1 followed by CD but I was originally trying to go in order they released and from what I gathered CD came out a little after 2. The biggest mystery I am still trying to figure out is if the master system and Game gear story takes place before or after the events of the Genesis S2. I’m assuming the GG and SMS came first because there are only 6 chaos emeralds present and the earliest carnation of mecha or silver sonic is present here
I really hate bad endings
The bad ending is pretty rough for a Sonic title. Not going Super Sonic I can live with but failing Tails completely is pretty unforgivable
Neither my big brother nor me ever had a Game Gear
Unlike its Genesis counterpart, it was a 1-player game as Sonic's new pal Tails was kidnapped along with their animal friends. Tails: "Sonic, help!" Sonic: "I'm coming, li'l bro!"
Good video! Though, I would remove the "ly Unique" from your title. 😅
So true 😆 I was attempting to be optimistic but yeah it’s just pretty bad overall
@@RockinKatReviews Yeah, I grew up with it, but didn't care for it. It was just a bit too punishing in its design. The screen crunch made the first boss ridiculously difficult! However, there is a PC fangame called "Sonic 2 SMS Remake" that adds some new content, characters, and adds some quality of life stuff to this game. Definitely recommend checking it out, if you can!
@@mattb6522 I wish they would find a way to rerelease the master system ports they are quite good and alleviates alot of my concerns (well hang gliders will always be bad). I definitely will check the PC game out…I’ve seen the remake of triple trouble recently and that looks great.
It was unfair to not give us a multiplayer. And offensive
I would like to see a rebuild of this similar to the triple trouble fan game with a 2P option
@@RockinKatReviews it’s out there. Unofficial of course. But let’s be honest, sonic fans have shown sonic far more respect than Sega ever could
@@AlphonseWeebay I’ve started to see that trend with many of my favorite franchises. MegaMan and Sonic to name a few…the fan games are so well done with tons of attention to detail throughout makes you wonder if we are seeing something in these characters the companies aren’t.
@@RockinKatReviews look at Christian whitehead. What he achieved on iOS by himself. The sonic blast games are insane. It’s not beyond Sega to give us a quality 2d multiplayer with competitive and cooperative online options and goals. Levels that cater to characters strengths. They were on the right track with heroes
@@AlphonseWeebay How did u feel about Sonic superstars I believe if not mistaken some of the mania team went on to do pennys big breakout which I actually enjoyed
My dad got me a game gear for Christmas with carrying case and sonic 2, then I played sonic 2 Genesis version and Mortal kombat 2 at a relativels house mk2 my mind. Then Christmas we got a sega genesis modle 2 with sonic spinball eternal champions, NBA jam Te, jungle book, and Asterix and the great rescue. Sonic 2 game gear I think was the first one I ever owned, I loved sonic 2 and game gear version has a special place, it was the first time I ever got a secret ending in a game.
I had a similar experience with my model 2 getting it that holiday… I picked it up with the Sonic 2 pack in and played Sonic 2 non stop. As far as the gamegear version I would always get the bad ending for several years …with the screen crunch it was really hard to locate the emeralds.. This was the first time I actually managed to get them all. But the good ending is really rewarding
Nice one!
🙏
I still need to play this but I have to play the Master system version
If you can def stay clear of the GG version the MS version is so nice
Man just thinking about this game gives me a headache. A friend of mine had a game gear and this was the only game he owned. The choppy framerate and brutal difficulty made me hate the Game Gear forever. I was more than happy to stick with my monochrome game boy games.
It’s my Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde of the GameGear 😆
This game was unforgivable
I agree 💯
@@RockinKatReviews us master system and game gear households had a breeze when we finally got 16 bit consoles! 😂
Great review bro played a ton of Sonic 2
I’ll finally be getting to the True Sonic 2 next 😆
I’ve played this but couldn’t get past the gliders lol
This game was brutal to play!
It was pretty solid until I got to Scrambled Egg Zone then It was all down hill 😆
Eh. It IS a step in the right direction.... too bad that Capcom never did anything with it afterward...
What’s the chances we get a new X series game ? I see Capcom is interested in some MegaMan revival of some sort
I used to have every single Mario game back in the day. Keep up the excellent content, really enjoy watching your videos.
🙏 I still enjoy going back to the original series as much as I can. I think next year will be a pretty big year for Nintendo
this game is not a bad game but i dont think it is anything special either, my biggest problem with it is that i cant accept it for what it is and i cant help but compare it to the genesis games, this is a game that maybe i play it once a year but the genesis games are a monthly experience for me, game gear and master system are not as powerful as the genesis so they cant make something like the genesis games on them, and because of that Tails Adventure is the only 8-bit sonic game that i love as much as the genesis games, because that game know the limitations of the game gear and because of that instead mimicing the genesis games it gives you a unique experience
Tails adventure is pretty awesome I played it when I first got my gamegear. Got pretty far but I never finished it. I think I was missing an item so I was running in circles.. Did u try out tails sky patrol?
@@RockinKatReviews yeah that one was fine but nothing special , if a Tails game didnt exist, what i would come up with would be something like Tails Adventure not Sky Patrol, i think what makes me like Tails Adventure much more than other 8bit sonic games is how much it makes sense, if the game was the same but you played as sonic or knuckles instead then it wouldnt make sense but as a Tails game its reasonable to slow down and think and build up yourself to beat the game
yeah it was a neat novelty but ultimately I don't really like the idea of calling 9 and 10 mainline entries given its more of a regression of Megaman and his abilities rather then improving on them and they couldn't even bother to explain why that is in story which could have been summed up in a line of text or something, the fact it wasn't addressed or they don't give you the means to play the more modern 4-6 NES Megaman is why I have to deduct from the experience and no I don't consider needing to play as other characters like Protoman a compromise on that
Game Gear was a letdown for me, one of my friends had it and the lighting and framerate made me hate it. He had Sonic 2 and an X Men game, neither game was appealing. In the end, I think Nintendo easily bested Game Gear when it came to handhelds. The Super Mario Land series, Metroid II, Link's Awakening are all time classics, Game Gear was never able to produce anything remotely close to those.
The battery life crippled a lot of the GG experience for me early on even with the ac adapter I couldn’t keep mine charged at times. The original Gameboy in my opinion had one of the greatest catalogs of original content. Felt like the Gameboy truly held the test of time you just couldn’t keep It down. There was a like an 8 year gap that I wasn’t playing games during my college years and one big reason I got into games again was the Nintendo DS and even by then they just releases so much new content for it at the time it was nuts. Now I feel like all I get from Nintendo are ports and remasters of their old games every other month but way back Nintendo was always giving u fresh new games on their handhelds
I still think they should've added the GameGear and the SMS Version in the Collection. Or that they give the Games the same treatment as the Genesis Games, means, to have the visually upgraded GameGear Version, but with the 16:9 ScreenSize and Sprite Size as the Master System Version had. Back in the Time i had the Games on the MasterSystem and the GameGear. I prefered the MasterSystem Version, since you could see more and the dangers earlier. Honestly i generally prefer the 8-Bit Sonic Games, since the Zones feel more unique and handcrafted. Also there are different levels, where you have branching routes, but many levels have only one route to go. Sonic 2 8-Bit has more of these open Zones and i think this Version is also the best on the 8-Bit Games. The replay value for these Games where, that you didn't find all the Chaos Emeralds in these Games. So the first time you managed to get though the Game without getting a Game Over, you got the Bad Ending, for not finding all the Emeralds. Then you played and played them again until you got all of them and you even got a new Zone to play in Sonic 2
It’s funny because the gamegear collections have been released now over quite a few different collections. When I picked up Origins Plus I noticed they added some additional content to the original Genesis games and was thinking they would finally give the Game Gear and master system games the treatment but nope. The screen crunch really does these games a huge disservice and especially Sonic 2 it makes the game almost unplayable towards the last few acts. I’m with you all the way tho on 8 bit games I really love the originality to them I even had a great time with tails adventure I played that even more so picking it up when I got my original GameGear. My only big complaint comes with sonic chaos and triple trouble those chaos emeralds are painful to get especially with the time limits lol
@@RockinKatReviews under us, I think the Sonic SMS Remake by creative Araya is a great way to play these older Sonic Games
@@schar1024 I def need to check these out somehow! I haven’t seen them but would love to play through them
The blue GameGear is a nice touch
🙏 Yeah this I believe was part of the GameGear Sports bundle…You think they would have done a Sonic Special Edition at some point🤷♂️
The OG Sonic games still hold up great review guys
I think this is technically a retelling of the original especially with the sky base zone
Awesome seeing the game gear games getting some love
Sonic 2 8-bit coming next
Had this along with NBA jam for my GameGear
I love some NBA Jam!
Impact Man is definitely the best robot master in Mega Man 11
Very nice run guys
