Johnny vs. Mega Man 8

- Mega Man didn't stay on the Super Nintendo for very long. In fact, the next game in the series is for both the Sony Playstation and the Sega Saturn. For this review, we'll be looking at both versions. Celebrating Mega Man's 10th Anniversary, does the eighth installment in the franchise break new ground, or is it just a prettier game we've all played before?

"Yoo musst rekover all thee energy immediately gh....ugh... Mega Man!"
Seems legit.
+Joe Robinson That caught my ears. The guy barely stuttered.
+Joe Robinson I think he was going to say "Wahwee".
"Can't let you do that, Star Fox."
"Get really real! Now you've ticked me off!"
"Very good. Then let's get going."
+Joe Robinson As a kid that always bothered me...like how did they manage to leave that in there and not redo it? lol
I read your comment the minute that part of the video happened XD
Mega Man: “But why is this voice acting so bad?”
Dr. Light: “That’s a good question.”
"qwershtin"
*lmao reply to a 3 year old comment*
The easiest explanation is that the voice director is terrible and/or the Voice Direction was done in Japan with people who spoke English with Japanese Voice Direction, which makes it much different since EN and JP voice acting calls for different deliveries
shhhh, i'm hunting doctah wahwee.
sorry I accidentally reported you and not sure how i can remove

fireball221000 Dr. Light; atrocious version of Elmer Fudd since 1997.
+Wolly Dedede He maybe has the IPad Version. If you have the IPad Version then there is a chance you can accidentally hit the report button since its right next to the like button.

So now we have the 3 evil doctor twins: Wily, Willy and Wywee.
and Wiley
Bubsy 3D being right next to Metal Gear Solid on your shelf is making me physically uncomfortable...
Yes it is haha.
It isn't even like that because of alphabetical order. In the ABCs, Bubsy 3D is *very* far away from MGS.
It's like having Rat Feces right next to Ratatouille, you kinda want to keep both as far away as possible.
Not according to the Pixar movie.
Sokolov1964 I mean I don't know about you but Bubsy 3D is-*holding back puke* is a pretty top no- top notch game. Metal Gear can't even compare.
Dr. Wahwee.
duuuude XD
Dr. Wahluigi origins confirmed.
*docta wawee
MugenHeadNinja Dr. Wahwuwegge
Quoted from some random person on UA-cam:
Duck season!
Rabbit season!
Duck season!
Rabbit season!
Dr. Wahwee season!
What a coincedence.
Symphony of The Night (Castlevania) 8th game, bad voice acting, on Play station.
Megaman 8 (Megaman) 8th game, bad voice acting, on play station.
*...Mind blown...*
And both had a Saturn release with some extra stuff. Coincidence, much?
I. THINK. NOT. SOMEONE CUE THE INCEPTION MUSIC.
+Austin's Games But then again, there are Megaman games on the GB and even one on the Game Gear.
+Dylan Paez They're also both expensive as shit in the PAL regions
Dylan Paez Symphony of the Night was epic, though.
Wen we find tat meteor we'll find dr wahwee

@@mcnierstenen9017 Tha fuck is this suppose to mean?
🤣
You didn't mention the best line in the game:
*squeaky Mega Man voice*
Bass: "Shut up."
"Nah!"
These cutscenes are truly an absolute gift
They really are, and I never play this game
13:08 Dat explosion jumpscare tho...
Michael Bay would be proud.
8:40 "What happend?"
As if the voice acting wasn't enough.

Bubsy 3D on the shelf.
You poor thing, Johnny.

Wait... if Zero was made by Wily... Both "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?" and "Doctah Wahwee" are related... so they're both one meme :O
I know voice acting was something new to gaming, but seriously, did they find this level of voice acting acceptable? Metal Gear Solid came out a year later. What excuse does Mega Man 8 have?
I know even sonic adventure was better.
That or Naughty dog and Insomniac games getting Clancy Brown.
StarFox 64 has voice acting in it and that turn out fine and so did well Sonic Adventure.
***** The voice acting in both those games isn't commendable or anything, but at least it's serviceable. The voice acting in this game is just something baffling.
*****
Star Fox 64's wasn't very good, but at least it's passable.
If this was an anime....I would watch it.
Agent Clank Excellent question
Jif Creamy I'm not a weeaboo....jeez
Jif Creamy You're an idiot.
Jif Creamy Again, you didn't answer my question! Also are you a troll? If you are that's pretty sad.
Or because too lazy to upload a picture of myself....every thought of that before? Jeez, i'm not a weeaboo ok? I just liked Death Note.
Johnny, the PS2 Anniversary Collection has TERRIBLE input lag on all the games if you don't play on a CRT television. Same for the XBOX version. Everyone, save yourselves the frustration now, because input lag absolutely ruins these games.
I don't get what people have against CRT tv's. Retro games look horrible on a HDTV and the lag is terrible. I picked up a nice Sony CRT for $15 and the games look and play perfect
It's due to the general public just moving on from the CRT mindset.
Also my HDTV can handle retro games _ok_.
XD4Lifeington Eh, I'd still like to get a copy for my PlayStation 2, maybe for my GameCube as well. (I'm crazy like that. Help me.)
@@GabeStOnge the GameCube version also has input lag... the problems with the Anniversary Collection on PS2, are also there on the GameCube
Its why I am glad with the legacy collections
Warning, the song Electrical Communication is RIDICUOLOUSLY CATCHY
No joke, this was my first Megaman game. I loved it. Haven’t played it since 2004.
Be vewy vewy quiet Megaman, I'm hunting for Wahwees!
Oh xD I feel bad
XDDDDDDD
After hearing Mega Man's voice, are you sure he's not meant to be Mega Kid?
Funny you should mention that. One of the concept names for Megaman was infact Mighty Kid.
remember,you must find the wadar woom,cause when you find the wadar woom,you will find doctor wowe.
Bayley Milliner And be sure to keep an eye out for that wascally wabbit.
Zac Scarpellino Why? Are we wunting fwor wabbits?
Bayley Milliner Don't you mean, find the computew woom?
Thanks a lot Johnny, now I can't stop spamming Electrical Communication!
One thing that always confused me about Mega Man 8 and X4 is WHY give Mega Man and X a voice actress? I mean he's Mega MAN.
SuperZero2552 I can understand they were trying to go for a typical "Anime kid hero" voice TBH. I will say it's not perfect but It's honestly much more easy on the ears compared to Pac-Man's new voice in his latest cartoon outing.
***** I haven't watched this new Pac Man cartoon.
SuperZero2552 Trust me, it's really cringe worthy. Pac-Man is given a personality that makes Bubsy the bobcat look cool. Go look it up and tell me it's not bad, because it is.
***** Just by what you said I think I'll keep my knowledge of it at a extremely low level.
In my opinion, his voice fit him in Mega Man 8 but they should of changed it in X4 since it doesn't fit X at all.
Such an underrated game... This one and 7 get too much hate for... well, not being 8-bit. But why is that so? Every game franchise has to evolve and adapt for the newer generations, and both 7 and 8 were doing that. People didn't complain when Mario or Zelda were leaving 8-bit, so why does Megaman get so much crap from doing so? And besides, no one would buy an NES game around 1995 or 1997...
Hell, 6 was 8-bit and it didn't get much love either. Nobody really cares about the Gameboy games either. Not even V. Just goes to show anything that's on a Nintendo handheld which originated from consoles just automatically doesn't matter to some people.
I think Megaman fans are too harsh when it comes to the games...
To be honest, I freaking love Megaman 7. And Rockman and Forte for that matter.
Dark Pit ブラックピット I thought 7 was really good, but Megaman and Bass was kinda disappointing though. :P
joão carlos Wait a sec... You are brazilian too?! O.O
LOVE the hell out of Mega Man 8. Graphics, music, level design, weapons, bosses', and yes even the so bad it's FUCKING AMAZING voice acting. One of my favorite MM games EVER.
When I heard the voice Acting I fell apart laughing hahahaha oh god
The problem with what you're saying is that John has gone out of his way many times to do research for franchises that he's not as well versed in so he can offer more than just his experiences. Beyond that, John is just an everyday gamer like you and me, and he makes videos explaining what games mean to him, whether they're familiar or not. And unlike the rest of the Brainscratch crew, he's humble and charismatic while he does it.
He's basically what gamers of today ought to strive to be.
Great job Johnny, your videos are always a delight to watch!
Hey Johnny I'd like to just say that you playing these games brought back all the love I have for the series as a whole. And inspired me to get the anniversary edition to play them all again. So thanks man!
This is probably my favorite megaman game solely because of the sound track
xD Same here. Wily Stage 2 from the Sega Saturn version is my favorite track from all the classic Mega Man games. Nothing beats it IMO. I mean the gameplay of Mega Man 8 is awesome, but the voice acting is horrible just like in my favorite MMX game. :V
Came across your channel tonight, love it. Look forward to caching up on all of your videos. Keep up the good work.
There were a few newcomers in X4, but nearly all of the 8 cast also got cast in X4, for instance, as you mentioned, Ruth got recast as X's voice, Wayne Doster who voiced Duo and Astroman voiced Zero in X4,
Mattew Meersbergen who voiced Sword Man and Search Man voiced Colonel in X4, Michelle Gazepis who voiced Roll voiced Iris.
There are many others too, Darryl Stogre who voiced Dr. Light, Frost Man and Auto actually has a successful career in acting... how strange, guess he improved.
These reviews are so simple, yet so outstanding
"We will find Dr Wahee." - Dr Thomas Light. Mega Man 8
Megaman 8 is my favorite Megaman game! back then it felt like it had so much content and it had amazing music as expected from any MegaMan game.
I'm surprised capcom doesn't get sued for using a name from the DC Universe because of Aqua Man
Then again this was released in the early 2000s. Back then people still didn't give two turds on DC Aquaman.
Yes Johnny show him who's boss
We all love you and love all the effort you put into your reviews
You are the one who brought me back to Pokemon with your Month of Pokemon after I left the series for a long time.You have no idea how thankful I'm for you for doing those Pokemon reviews
You also pulled me in and got me interested in Metroid and Majora's Mask.
Thank you Johnny and keep up the good work
Third time watching this review and noticed you always pronounced Wily as Whawee.
Thats... the joke.
Did you NOT see the cutscene where the game's VA says whawee? John is making fun of that.
JUST like he did with "Willy" and "Wiley"
I realize what he's parodying, asshole. I'm just saying that the joke Johnny made was so subtle it took me three viewings to catch it.
Look at you, so fast jumping to conclusions. Glad to see your parents have done a good job raising a nice young child.
Stephen Shoap The internet, say one thing and someone can take it out of context and insult you with it
*facepalms* You both are acting like little children.
2:31 just that dramatic zoom in on doctor light's derp face made me burst out laughing
"We must wecover all the enrgy immediately WMegaman."
I actually really like this one.
My only problems with it are the voice acting (which I find funny) and Wily Fortress 1's Snowboard level.
This is one of my favorites along with 2,3,5 and 7.
Excellent review, but I still feel that Megaman 8 was an overall great experience.
I love how no one here is talking about about gameplay. Just the voice acting. No wonder this game gets such an unfair rep. In my opinion, it's a SOLID Mega Man game and I don't find it bad at all aside from voice acting. Of course it's not the BEST Mega Man game, but it sure as hell doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
Mega Man 8 and Mega Man X4's awful voice acting is the result of what happens when the English voice acting is done in Japan.
The bad part about that is there do exist Japanese people who CAN speak English fluently. Lol
esmooth919 That really pisses me off to no end.
Go look up the Trouble witches dub, it's a great bullet hell game but good god is that Dub terrible. It's a guilty pleasure for me personally but I know that it's objectively terrible. And yes it was recorded in Japan...just why?
***** Welcome to the pumpkin girl's shop.
mrguy22494 Yeah that line is ear grating, also any time Venus opens her mouth, like I said the voice acting is a guilty pleasure for me but not even I can defend Venus' voice actor it's just...ugh. Some characters weren't that bad though such as Amalgam or Aqua.
Happy 10th Anniversary, w- Mega Man!
At 2:15 Thank you so much for being one of the very few I've heard get this right!
That makes sense about wily tower stage 1 on anniversary collection. It seemed impossible to beat!
Oh, and also Dr. Wawwe :)
I really, really loved this game as a kid. I beat it so many times and I had such a great time. It was my first MegaMan game ever and it made me search for the other titles. Now I am a die hard fan with ~almost~ all of the games. I think this game was aimed at a different age range. Looking at it now, it seems okay but I remember having the greatest of times with this game.
Thanks to the Mega Man Legacy Collections, I'm able to play my favorite Classic Mega Man game at any time, I'm serious, I love Mega Man 8.
In fact, Mega Man 8, X4, and Legends were the first Mega Man games I've ever seen in action, as my older sibling would play them and I'd be watching, but now, I'm thankful to be able to experience these games for myself over the years.
WE COULD USE WHAAALES! WHAAAAAAAAAAALES!!!!!
JahkobahTunes AquaMan would just sucker punched megaman through building.
WITH WHAAAAALES!!!
JahkobahTunes With his fist. Maybe bitch slap him with a whale.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAALES!!!!
WHAAAALESSSS
2:16 "It's Bass, not Bass. He's not a fish." He may be Bass, but I am Bass.
Holy shit it's been nearly 7 years since this review came out...
I came for "JUMP! JUMP! J-JU-JU-JUMP! SLIDE SLIDE!"
2:03 Heh. Saturn. "Sega" Saturn!
Oh I see what you did! There's a stardroid (robot master boss) in Mega Man V for the Game Boy called Saturn. His Mega Man and Bass bio says he dislikes video games. He's in one and has a console with the same name.
I'm guessing Megaman 8 was there for the soundtrack.
my fav megaman game of all time... i just love the presentation, the look, the control and all the little voiceovers and the taunting from enemies.... i just love it
4:30 DC called, _they want AQUA MAN back_
4:29 BEHOLD! Dr. Wily's 1st ever GAY ROBOT!
Oh God. It's been two years. Wow. How can time go by so quickly?
I think your right about the snow boarding stage. I remember having no problems as a kid doing them but on the PS2 version of the anniversary collection, I couldn't do it at all. I just thought I sucked at it now but input delay would explain it much more.
5, 6 and 10 are "Just Another Mega Man" games. But I can't agree with 7 and 8. MM7 justifies that statement like half-way through for itself, but 8 is completely different and more innovative (not implying that it's better). The game's stage designs are segmented and split into two parts (2x2). Some sections in the Robot Master stages are infact - puzzle sections (Astro Man, Sword Man). Astro Man has you going through labyrinths and I can say that I enjoy this kind of stuff, but it ain't particularly Mega Man. Also, it changes the way we look at the Shop and how we purchase items with the in-game currency, since this time around, the Bolts (or Screws) are 'rare' collectibles and we really have to 'explore'. A slower-paced approach on Mega Man, as it is mostly required for us to upgrade properly before facing Wily's Fortress.
6 is not just another Mega Man game. Did you not see the ending where Mega Man arrested Dr. Wily once before?
Aqua man more like Gay Pride man
+The Super Sayian Gamer More like Offensive Man
+Thomas Ink More like Cliched Joke Man.
Still more heroic than DC's aquaman
+Thomas Bailly But he's a villain
+Steven Kollin Same
4:00 because it allows them to scale the difficulty better (those four are easier overall than the next four) without putting in the effort of changing the levels depending on which order one plays them in.
Personally I think this game had some of the most useful weapons in the series.
Ice Wave is good for killing enemies on the ground, Tornado Hold helps you get to hard to reach areas, Flame Sword can take out enemies right in front of you, and Astro Crush is a decent screen nuke. The only useless one is Water Balloon. Man, I only used that one for Sword Man, nowhere else!
One thing I can't stand in this game is how if you leave your game and load back up in Wily stages they force you to start from the FIRST WILY STAGE! WHY?!!?
But didn't the past few classic Megaman games stop doing this before 8? Or am I thinking of something else?
Mega Man 7 - Dr Willy
Mega Man 8 - Dr Wahwee
Those sliding missions were extremely difficult even back many years ago for me. I always had to have my brother do them for me, I swear there’s always been a lag with the jump/dash buttons.
Dr. Light's voice had me dying.
I surprisingly found a copy of this game at a thrift store for $5, and it's not a Greatest Hits printing.
I just got to say I really love the soundtrack for Megaman 8. Great video Johnny. You're doing a great job.
The first time I watched this review I rewinded the video repeatedly to see if I was imagining Johnny saying Dr. Wahwee.
I love the commitment of saying Dr. Wahwee for the whole video.
The Imput Lag is because you have an HDTV! Get a CRT TV! CRT Stands for Cathode Ray Tube. They are the old TVs from the Early 2000s and older.
No, it's the fact that the anniversary actually has input lag. Like it's know.
No bro, Rgb tv
The GameCube Version Too?
+Mr10616LC All versions of it.
He clearly plays his games on an HD TV. If he's experiencing lag, it's because of that. I've played MMAC on my CRT TV and never experienced any lag, but put it on the HDTV? It's unplayable.
1:07 Sssssooooo the Sega Saturn version of the game costs as much as a games console pity.
I've just got the copy of the game on ebay 'since I live in the UK' for £30.91 I'm dead serious.
England FTW
Johnny: Ok first off, his name is Bass not Bass, he’s not a fish
Me: -laughing at the thought of Bass as a fish-
In the Clown Man stage bolt with Rush Bike, you can also repeatedly use Astro Crush to get a very slight distance gain, to make a long enough jump to reach the bolts.
"Dr Wowy".
* snap * I got it. If you were playing Anniversary Collection on a newer tv instead of a CRT, there IS input lag, but in most games, it's almost unnoticable. Try using a CRT or other 90s TV.
the mega man 8 title theme should be your intro it fits so well
8:48 That's what I did when watching this cutscene.
What sucks is that the Legacy collection only uses the PS1 version of the game.
This was my first video game ever. I love it so much for all of it's ups and downs. Also it looks and sounds fucking bomb as hell
My copy of the Playstation game doesn't have any issues with Light's hologram projector from Rush. How come yours turns into a blue sphere without any image when you're talking to Light through Rush?
I feel you on the GameCube version I feel there is input lag and I got so frustrated trying to pass the snowboarding parts
To answer your seven year old question, no, the Japanese voice acting is considered to be well done.
Why do you call him "Why wee" instead of "Why lee"? :P
Because that's how Dr.Light pronounced his name.
Oh yeah, the Elmer Fudd thing.
J Shi U mus wecovah all de enahgee imedetly w-Megaman!
Johnny: Did I also mention the Anniversary Version has sound issues?
Me: *immediately takes off headphones*
Whats the name of the music playin at the very beginning? Its pretty cool!
what is that FLCL poster thing johnny has?
It's a FLCL poster, or are you asking what Fooly Cooly is, if you haven't heard of it it's best to just watch it it's only 6 episodes
patriotai I watched the first episode it's ok
luneth spark
Did you thought it was super weird , I did I loved the show but it made me feel like I was tripping all kinds of balls O_O
Amv Maker yeah it did
I just recently got the Japanese version of Megaman 8
what version does anniversary collection have?
The Playstation version
+NewController01 i just subed to you
Aw man I was hoping it had both
+Jonathan Gonzalez I was kinda hoping the same thing when I first got the Anniversary Collection (even though I'm from the UK) but I guess it can't be helped.
Since my Japanese Saturn's in for repairs after it blew when I powered it on after some misinformation regarding using a UK power cable for a import system, I asked my older brother to order a Action Replay for me. And when I tested out Megaman 8, the FMVs stutter a bit at times but everything else plays just fine.
+SomecallmeJohnny As far as the Japanese voice acting is concerned, It is actually enjoyable. It is played straight, like an anime of its time would have done. The voice work is actually comparable to Detective Conan (Case Closed), and even shares some actors. But they have cliche voices for the genre: Dr Light is the good old professor voice; Megaman is the semi mature almost teen male protagonist; bass is the dark protagonist; they are cliche roles, but like I said, they are played straight, and that is enjoyable.
Think how superhero cartoons always have the same sort of voice types for characters.
Is the content from the Saturn version available in the Anniversary Collection? I don't own a Sega Saturn.
No. The Anniversary Collection version is a butchered port of the PlayStation version.
esmooth919
That's lame. I wish there was an updated Anniversary Collection on Xbox One, PS4, Steam & Wii U for Mega Man's 30th Anniversary, that has all of the content from all 3 versions, plus additional content, including the Saturn version of Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9 & 10, also Mega Man & Bass. Also, Mega Man 1-7, 9, 10 & M&B get a Complete Works treatment, with new orchestrated soundtrack in Navi Mode.
I love how he calls him Wahwee all the way through 😂
Oh man I hate you Johnny. Out of jealousy, I mean. I spent 45 minutes solid on Wily stage 1 and still didn't beat it. How the FUCK could you have beaten it in ONE try? ;_;
Dude, they're incredibly easy. BUT, THAT STILL DOESN'T NEGATE THE FACT THAT THIS GAME SUCKS!
GooJoToons Animation The game doesn't suck wtf. It is a simple megaman game that follows the formula of its predecesors with a few changes. Its only flaw is the lack of ambition in an era where games had started to get more complex like RE and FFVII.
I don't fault the game for being like the others, I just feel that there are a lot of nuances that, don't hamper the entire experience, but, somehow manage to bother me. I think those little distinctions, do, hold the game back for me.
Dude, the only hard part about that stage was those two platforms at the very end of the hoverboard section. I had to waste some Astro Crush just so that I would clear that section.
Samuel Ariza I think all of that ambition you're talking about went to Megaman X4... Even despite the horrible voice acting. Lol
OH MY GOD!! I HAD THIS GAME!!!it was when i was REALLY YOUNG BUT THE INTRO CUTSCENE IT CAME ALL BACK TO ME
2:42 you cant really hear johnny laughing in that shot with doctor Light, but seeing him laugh? That shit is contagious.
Watching Johnny review Mega Man, then I find a Mega Man Legends Let's Play (to be specific) by guess who? Clement, a person who guest starred in an earlier Mega Man review,
COINCIDENCE, I THINK NOT!
0:41 HE OWNS BUBSY 3D!!!!!
Looks like Tails Doll needs to pay his last visit...
You should take a quick peek at one of Johnny's "Too Many Games" videos. The last one is were he buys the game.
Something tell me that Bubsy 3d is the game Tails Doll possibly mention Johnny's Ghosts n Goblins review. I'm just guessing now so don't bash me saying that's bullshit
You're probably right. I Mean, what other horrible games are left? He has done Big Rigs, Superman 64 and Sonic 06. Either it's the CD-i Games or it's Bubsy 3D.
Which CD-I game do you mean
It's the 10 year anniversary of the review of the game released in recognition of the 10 year anniversary of the first Megaman game.
Feeling old yet kids?
How has it been 10 years since this review came out? "Dats a ghud qweston."
