    Actually, the game does have an ending. It just doesn't play due to a glitch which also causes the game to not unlock Dr. Wily has a playable character despite the fact the you can see him at the end of the character select screen.

    I wish they'd revisit this idea with a new Mega Man Soccer game - and actually _finish_ it this time. It could be a ton of fun building your team with all the characters, trying different formations and strategies, pulling out all kinds of interesting and varied special moves (instead of a bunch of themed kick attacks that are all basically the same, like what we got), changing your lineup to counter enemy teams...
    But they won't. Capcom's all about doing the same thing until the money stops coming.

  • @thealaskannomad6018

    My favorite Special was Gemini Man, because he turned into Will Smith and his clone, both shot the goalie, and then one dances over his grave while the other scores easily.
    Nah, but f'real, splitting the ball in two usually bounced right around the goalie.

    Lol Castlevania croquet could be awesome. Use the whip to control the hits. Add a simple strength and direction bar and I am in. Hilarious episode; you are getting really good at these. If only the game could have been arcade soccer fun time. Unfortunately we are expected to be impressed by the Mega-Man sprites rather than have a fun game that has a decent FOV.

    When I was a child, and blissfully unaware of this game's existence, I would play Mega Man Basketball with my younger siblings. This was basically Basketball - except we had to pick which Mega Man character we were. And, of course, being the oldest - and the one to make up the game - I was always Mega Man. And, obviously, since he was the good guy and the star of the game - Mega Man was required to win.
    It helped that i was usually about a foot taller than everyone as well (at the time).
    This comment has nothing to do with the video or the game mentioned in the video, so I will add that Mega Man Basketball would make a lot more sense than soccer, since he is known for running and jumping - not running and kicking.

    My friend and I had a blast with this game growing up. That being said, I look back on it and it really wasn’t a great game. Heck it was almost impossible to score without using a special. I remember you had to get up against the wall and angle your shot using L or R or something. The other option was to pass the ball back and forth in front of the keeper and then shoot it.

    I REALLY enjoyed this as a kid. I loved the way you could customize your team; as you got familiar with the game, you learned what powers worked best, and you could design a team around the robots that were most effective. And there was probably a familiarity effect...as I knew all of the robots and had loved playing against them in the MM games, seeing them in this and having their powers be true to their characters in the earlier games was excellent (I owned MM2 and 4 at this point, and I'd rented MM1 a whole lot; I wasn't as familiar with 3). Buuuuut...I probably wouldn't like it nearly as much today. Not all games are enjoyable for all ages, and the flaws mentioned in the video, while legitimate, are not really things I really cared about as a 12/13-year old. This was clearly a cash grab, a way for Capcom to milk the Megaman franchise for a bit more money before X2 and X3 came out on the SNES (and MM5 and 6, for NES). But they knew their audience; we rented this one at least 3-4 times in July/August of '94 (though it wasn't super-captivating, it was good enough to engage me for a couple hours).

    Valid criticisms, but it doesn't have to be a perfect game to be a fun game. I liked it a lot when I was a kid. I thought seeing robot masters change color to match Mega Man's colors or the colors of the team captain was a nice touch and I liked the music in it too.

    anybody remember Nintendo soccer on the NES? that game had power shots, was ignoring the rules, and in general was action oriented soccer at its best (for that time) I guess MEga Man soccer was going for something like that, but they really failed on that one.
