So we have only 3 options to play those bosses in MegaMan 8 -Buy an Saturn copy of the game -Mods with the re-released/PS1 -Yar har

I agree that is very annoying

magnus zero mentioned yippee :D 10:50

You can blame the lack of saturn emulation (from an official standpoint) for that. Not helping was Saturn console source code being lost as well iirc. Well one can hope they do figure out a way to bring back saturn titles (and dreamcast as well)

Saturn had highly unique architecture which means most of the stuff thats stuck on Saturn is there for good, I personally bought an inexpensive Saturn and a Pseudo Saturn Kai so I can just burn games to CD and play whatever the system has to offer instead of shelling out thousands for the more rare games like Panzer Dragoon Saga I greatly recommend it if you're interested in the system and appreciate playing on original hardware.

I was awed by that being her default tone of voice. It's so ingrained in my brain that hearing that segment All i could imagine was Rockman giving an interview instead lol.

@@TheRealBlazingDiamond Wait until you deal with Romance language logic. Where the masculine case is obligatory in most cases.

@@MaoRatto I speak French, the default is masculine unless all subjects are specified to be feminine, so there's that.

For Japanese -man, they didn't "import it weirdly" it first of all already existed independent of the English meaning of "man". SECONDLY, it IS the actual english definition as a pun with Japanese, that's why there's "pikesman" and "WO-man". Western world abandoned the actual meaning. Weird sexist stuff started really taking up in 1800's English-speaking world, where by the time of abolition of teaching Latin grammar completely severed any understanding of the average person how English syntax works AT ALL. Because England always was a Roman colony that utterly failed to invent a native script, like Korean Hangul or phonetic diacritics. English, where you can write "I present you a present in the present" has NO bearing on which pronunciations you mean, is a really damaging, half a real language. You won't get far when your grammar is heavily based on Urban dictioanry "clever" portmanteaus, and attempts to memorize meanings of emoji for tiktok because you don't EVEN have Chinee Hanzi symbols to perform that function. I peresent👌 you this present🍆 in the present🤡🌏 Genders were invented in biology in 1950's by john Money when the CENSORING of the word "sex" and "pregnant" were en vogue on the TV. It's not "weird" in language: that linguistic one IS the meaning of "gender". In English it's euphemism. You live a complete false history. And gender simply splits words in groups so that when you start a word with one of THREE options, you can remember the word that follows from there three times as easily. In English when noun can start with a random letter out of 26, those are ALL possible genders, and you struggle to remember if a word is spelled pretext of pertext.

Absolutely. That was just so neat in Mega Man X that I was sad when X2 went back to the status quo.

Don't forget Mega Man & Bass where you fight them after the trial rooms.

@@insectduel What do you mean "trial rooms"? MM&B goes the Mega Man 1 & Mega Man X route, just with the caveat that all the rematches takes place in the final stage rather than throughout all the castle stages.

A shame that Mega Man 11 squandered its potential in that regard. It would've been amazing if that game had utilized the double-gear system to give each boss the opposite gear of what they used during their first encounters. Making the gauntlet feel less repetitive, while changing up the fights and how you have to approach them when they activate their gear abilities.

i hate that version so much. always have.

I like Saturn's Tenguman theme better tbh. Also the remixes for Cutman and Woodman are amazing.

Yup, Saturn is just the superior version.

​​@@MegaManNeo Me too. It fits more to his character

I'll never understand why they wanted to create two Tengu Man themes. Or, for that matter, why the Saturn version's soundtrack is slightly different than the PS1 version's.

@@co81385 Capcom had a good relation with SEGA in the Saturn and Dreamcast era.

The PS1 outsold the Saturn in Japan. It did outsell the N64 though (barely)

​@Supersayainpikmin Eventually, yes, in 1997, but until then the Saturn was outselling it. Also, while the hardware sales were close for both the Saturn and 64, software was a different story. There's a reason why the Saturn has a library almost 3 times that of the N64.

From my understanding, this is the reason why _Sonic Jam_ was created. Few people in Japan knew of the _Sonic_ series due to the Mega Drive not catching on there, so Sonic Team made a collection to show them *why* they were called "Sonic Team".

@@AztyphIt was inevitable tho; Super Mario All-Stars existed, so it was only natural Sonic would follow suit. But since Sega was mainly pushing themselves as an arcade company in Japan, few there gave a damn about their home stuff, so neither Sonic Jam nor the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast helped the franchise there. It also didn't help that, despite the Japanese lore being correct for the pre-2010s games even though English is the series's canonical main in-world language, early JP marketing pushed the "cute" side of Sonic WAY more than its "cool" side-the opposite problem of the Western marketing-when Sonic's "cool" and "cute" should be about 2:1. Adventure 1 only sold well there for being a hyped-up Dreamcast launch title.

@@ThoughtformsOfTheSubconsciousMTwo reasons: CDs and arcade ports.

Ty for sharing the vid!

@ColeFam , I absolutely enjoyed that interview you had with Ruth! Between noting the differences in Japanese and American culture, as well as learning the quirks behind the recording process (such as the translation team giving the scripts and not replacing “Rockman” with “Mega Man” leading Dr. Light to say “Wo-Mega Man.”), it helped me gain more respect for the development of that game, namely on the voice acting side!

@@JonCausithONSis that actually why dr. light said it like that?

Oh god, that first paragraph you wrote. That's absolutely insane that they just went in winged it without seemingly any consideration for quality control. It's a miracle how far better Mega Man Legends' localization is compared to 8 and X4. (Also, hi J! If you're reading this comment, could you check if my comment is stuck under approval? I asked because some people here commented and believed in the misinformation nonsense about Capcom withholding RE2 over Sony's Anti-2D stance. I made a comment with the posted NAVGTR video showing where that misinfo came to dispel it.)

Congrats Cole

People hated it and wanted it to play like the Nintendo ones. Funny cause this controlled way better than part 7 and I don't remember hearing too many complaints about 7. Crazy how they made part 9 and 10 with new graphics instead of MM8 level graphics.

Amen.

First thing I always notice is how curiously modern it is for a 30 year old game

That’s where it ends. Only great ideas, but just awful execution

FUN FACT: When the Salkind’s made their first two Three Musketeers films, they were originally one film. Feeling that the movie was too long, the Salkind’s split the film in half and released it as two films; The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974). Upon learning that the Salkind’s did this, the cast and crew whose contracts were only for the one film sued the Salkind’s and SAG went on to include a clause in all of their contracts requiring studios and producers to disclose how many films are being made, known as the Salkind Clause.

@@SHADOMEGA7569 exactly. I mean sure, it wasn’t nothing but whatever the full amount was, I sure hope it would’ve at least compensated their work for both games

It happened quite often back then it seemed especially with English speaking VAs in Japan.

@@VileGlory Keeping actors in the dark still happen now in a different way. When commenting on why one game had such bad voicing, the voice actors said they were given zero context to the lines. It takes more time for a director to give context and do multiple takes. Low budget titles will most definitely just send off a script and wait for a recording to be attached to an email and they'll only want one take. It's a recipe for disaster.

Indeed. Besides being part of the ambition, it really helps MM8 feel like a celebratory game.

BREAK FREE FROM THE CIRCUITS BINDING THE FUTURE

Besides that, at the time I didn't know you could use Mega Ball to jump higher. I just used Tornado Hold instead. I also didn't know the shop had a second page.

LOL this is exactly why game reviewers and the like love short indie games. Or at least long games that can be done in bite sized chunks. And by extension the Switch/Deck so they can play those chunks whenever. It really does color people's opinions a lot when they do this stuff as a grind.

I'm Aquaman, but you can call me handsome guy!

@@steverempel8584”Hey geeky!” and “That felt good!” are AMAZING!

I found that just annoying.

I remember reading about that same reason in a 1997 issue of EGM.

There are multiple reasons, really. Yes Sony was very anti-2D and said no to MM8 and MMX4. Capcom’s response was threatening to pull RE2, and the final handshake compromise was “give us something Saturn can’t have”. And in the end Sony actually came out losing since Saturn got the better quality music, a few different tracks, the two mini boss fights while PlayStation got the rather unimpressive art book.

3D games on PS One looked bad too, they didn't hold as well as even N64 games. The best games to play today from PS One are the 2D games cause they don't look and control like ass.

3d was just such a technological leap. I remember complaining to friends about the lack of 2d. They were confused. Until a few years later they were agreeing. It wasn't really until the indie game boom that we got a lot of 2d back. If you like SOTN, i recommemd the deedlit game. It's the closest i've gotten to feeling like sotn while still having it's own identity.

@@Lazrael32 Is that Deedlit in Wonder Labyrnth? I just watched the trailer and it looks right up my alley, thanks!

@@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf Yes it is! it's a bit shorter but again it felt similar while having it's own identity. that probably doesn't make any sense but i don't know another way to say it. lol

Funny enough, both him and Exo covered the game years ago, lol.

I loved it in middle school on GBA and beat it several times, but when I replayed on it on Wii U's virtual console as an adult I realized many of it's flaws and when I was done beating it I said to myself "I don't ever want to play this ever again".

@@ChrisMS0815 You played the inferior GBA version. No wonder you'd diislike it.

@@ChiefMedicPururu Maybe I'll give the SNES version a try one day, but like I said the GBA version is what I loved in middle school.

Nah I feel you, I enjoyed the flying sections quite a bit. Maybe not to death lol but I thought those sections were a fun change-up in play style. I'd be down for a side-scrolling megaman shmup-game.

I like them

Loved them ro death as well...

The flying stages are awesome. The hoverboard stages on the other hand are the worst!

@@The_Nametag oh. Then yeah, probably didn’t exist🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@@Jackattack359 What I'm saying is I bought the game new, when it WAS new, and yes mine IS marked as including the art book. No art book was included. I even contacted CAPCOM about it, and gave them my info at the time, never received one.

@@The_Nametag never mind, I just googled it. It said due to a manufacturing issue, it wasn’t included in every copy of the game. Apparently it’s a pretty rare booklet as a result

@@Vulpas The thing is, that Megamans voice is to femenin that comparing it to Rolls Voice.

Not in my opinion. I would rather play any of the other classic Mega Man games.

​@@megamanmarchek8293 Agreed. While still a good game; I'd rather play any of the NES entries as well. "Best MegaMan game ever"? This guy...

You're allowed to have your opinion, but if you share it you'll have to cope with the consequences 💀

The best parts of this game are peak Megaman, but the worst parts are unbelievably annoying

lmao no. ur drunk

It should at least be in its own separate stage like in MM3/6. That way you're not forced to re-do it if you game over on Wily, which you're likely to do since he's supposed to be the hardest challenge.

I think that a boss rush should be a separate mode that appears after beating the game. When it's a mandatory part of every playthrough, it feels like "filler" and just boring repetitive stuff to go through when trying to get to the end boss. However, when it's split out into a new mode after beating the game, it feels like an "extra/bonus/omake". And you can play it at will and not be forced into it. That one thing by itself can really feel mentally different based on whether it's mandatory every playthrough or a bonus one gets by beating the game, I feel.

@@WhiteFangofWar yeah thats my only gripe. it should be its own stage.

​@WhiteFangofWar I think 1 and X did it right, sprinkling it in through out the castle stages.

Yeah it pisses me off, because apparently there was a lot of good games on the Saturn that basically killed SEGA. It is the most popular SEGA console in Japan.

Astro, Frost, and Aqua Man's themes are such a vibe

Aqua mans song 👌

What do you mean "the TRUE Mega Man 9"? Mega Man 9 is the real MM9, that's why it's called that.

It's better than X7 I'll give it that for sure 😅

@@mindseyemusicreview lol the only thing lower than X7 is the floor itself so is it really a measure?

True that. I’ve been honestly procrastinating my reviews for X6 and X7 because I know that they’re going to be bad 😂

You know, that actually would be kind of cool. The format of boss rushes I like the most is the MM1 and MMX1 style where it’s spread throughout the fortress. Combine that with your idea, and that sounds like a winner to me.

@@JsReviews I can see what you mean. It helps the flow better.

me too 😂😂

It was, real plenty of documentation.

Yeah it was real. That guy Bernie Stolar I think was responsible. He did the same thing on the Saturn after he took over Sega US around the mid 90s, and the Saturn infamously only got 25% of the full library of games in the US partly because of that.

@@XenoJehuty84 if there is I’d like to see it. All I can find is people talking about it with slightly different variations of the story.

Also, Bernie got a timed exclusivity deal for Mortal Kombat 3 on the PS1.

Sony America's draconian licensing rules for most of the PS1's life were VERY well-documented back in the day. They weren't very controlling in the first days of the system, but once they actually got a foot in the door they started working very hard to manage their image.

I personally think the controls are slow and the stages are bland. I have only played the first 4 levels, but I just went to play other Mega Man games for like the 4th time instead of playing Mega Man 8's second half.

Gimmicky stages, unbalanced special weapons, and an extreme amount of backtracking to get all of the bolts.

I think "JUMP, JUMP", the easy target voice acting, and the difficulty of the Wily stages (having to be beat them in one go without gameovering) has alot to do with it. Finally beating Wily stage 1s snowboard was so difficult as a kid then getting a game over made me rage quit it for a while. Personally, I grew up with x4/x5 and got this as a kid thinking it would be similar and didn't really care for how slow it felt to move (of course as a kid I didn't know there was a difference between the X series and original). It's not "bad" but I never feel the need to replay it over anything else.

It made everything the older games did but worse and tried to cover those flaws under a cool-looking coat of paint. I don't care if Megaman's jump has 50 frames of animation when I'm gonna land into a platform that's part of an artificially difficult room within a boring level.

​@thomasffrench3639 agreed it feels slow and I'm not a big fan of the soccer ball gimmick. Just give me my mega buster. Slide slide 😅 ugh. "Time to get serious 😅" astro man's level is annoying, the swinging mechanics at clown man was trash, and some of the visuals sword man's weapon are pretty janky looking.

Yep. A woman (Nancy Cartwright) voices Bart Simpson among other male characters.

Can't forget Stephanie's voice for Teen Gohan!! Legendary.

Sanrio Characters also have male characters voiced by female voice actresses

Wily stage one is definitely a tough wall to get over, but I was able to do it as a kid on PS1. I dunno how big the delay is between versions so I can't speak on that. But if you're trying to get through the final stretch after a lot of the slide portions are over, you can cheese a few AstroCrushes to stay airborn till you run out of energy. I found it helpful back in the day at least. I'd give it another shot, bet you'll manage it. Then good luck on the boss tactics lol.

I appreciate the revo erasure

@@jskywalker58 Those are cool too. Fun fact, Ruby Spears helped working on those too and initially their show was supposed to look like the OVAs. I mainly know the Japanese versions where Rock, Roll and the others have their respective VAs from the games but yes, those were good too.

When i was watchting that i had 2 thoughts 1 why didn't they have the person who voice megaman in that ova voice him in megaman 8 2why didn't they used the ova version of the characters in the ruby spear cartoon if they did we would have gotten a perfect adaptation of the classic series

Capcom threatening to withhold RE2 from PlayStation because of MMX4 and the anti-2D stance is misinformation bullshit. That did not happened.
