I loved MegaMan 2 as well, it was a little bit hard, but the gameplay and E Tanks and 8 Robot Masters and the famous Wily Stage music that inspired the Okkusenman songs made me loved MegaMan 2 as much as the next guy.<br /><br />People say that MM2 is overrated, but that's their opinions. They shouldn't try to turn their opinions into facts.

Oh, I agree for sure. Flash Man's stag...@Krazy<br /><br />Oh, I agree for sure. Flash Man's stage is probably the most boring, straight-forward Mega Man level in history, but it hardly ruins the game. I just don't personally see half as much bad in the game that you do. It was the first title to see eight robots, to have an intro, and other things. I'm sure I don't have to tell you all that though.<br /><br />I -do not- disagree with you that Mega Man II is completely overblown but I don't let that effect my own opinion and love of the game. It gets far more recognition than it deserves but it's still an NES classic and we owe much of what we love about the franchise to it. Mega Man 2 deserves such harsh language directed towards it just as little as the praise it receives from the other side. It's still a good game with memorable robot masters, fun boss battles, and excellent music.<br /><br />Disregarding the massive overhype, a lot of Mega Man 2's shortcomings as a game can be blamed squarely on Capcom management forcing the developers to make Mega Man 2 on their own time and in only three months. That's horrible (yet considering the sales of the first game, understandable) of them but considering these limitations I'd say Mega Man 2 turned out terrifically.<br /><br />And yeah, the later games absolutely one-upped it in practically every way.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573195511495718339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-26925909928078733852012-08-02T14:12:57.755-05:002012-08-02T14:12:57.755-05:00Welp, I said I was gonna do it, and I did it. Or ...Welp, I said I was gonna do it, and I did it. Or rather, I'm about 1/3 the way through. Too tired to continue right now. But I did find something interesting...<br /><br />Apparently... my perceptions of <i>Megaman 2</i> have been severely clouded by <i>Megaman: The Wily Wars</i>. Confused? I'll explain:<br />What I did was I ran the game with the M68K CPU overclocked. Usually, this would completely destroy the timing of a game. However, since <i>Megaman: The Wily Wars</i> was supposedly coded in unoptimized C++, all it did to <i>that</i> game was make it run <b>with absolutely no slowdown whatsoever</b>! Naturally, this catapulted the game to being my favorite port/remake of most any game, even with its little flaws here and there.<br /><br />Anyway! Now that I've replayed the first three games on the NES and really paid close attention to detail, I can honestly say... <i>Megaman 3</i> made the first two games look pretty damn amateurish by contrast.<br />Don't get me wrong, the first two games are by no means <b>crap</b>... but for the first time, I can clearly see that, compared to <i>Megaman 3</i>, those two games are pretty damn lame. Sure, the second game improved on the formula... but the third game <b>revamped</b> it considerably, with faster gameplay, higher-quality music, all the major bugs from the first two games fixed, and a few other things.<br /><br />You know, though? As much as I love <i>Megaman 3</i>, I'm hoping that something really catches my attention as I play through the next six games in the series. I'd love to find out that all this time, <i>4, 5, 6, 7, 8</i>, or <i>& Bass</i> are even better games. Memory says they're not as good, but then memory said, up until today, that <i>Megaman 2</i> deserved all the praise it gets. And it totally does not. <i>Megaman 3</i> made the series what it is today, or at least turned it in the right direction. Not <i>2</i>.<br /><br />Anyway, just thought I'd give a certain few interested parties their "You were rights." And frankly, I'm glad they were. This has been educational so far, so I hope it continues to expand my mind the further I get into the series! Plus, I don't think I've played <i>Megaman 5</i> or <i>6</i> in years, so... that should be fun.

And actually, I just play through using the buster. I've also got Heatman's Yoku Block pattern down fairly well. But, to keep an open mind, I think I'll spend a few days playing through and analyzing the first nine classic games (since there's no <i>convenient</i> way for me to play through the Inti Creates games at this time, short of hijacking a Wii...), using all the weapons and playing like the average person (who knows the weakness rotations and such) would, and try and see it from your standpoint, as well as Axem White's and Krazy Monkey's.

MM2, and MM1 for that matter, were both early and experimental titles. Yes some of its mechanics are indeed quite broken, but it's not quite as chalky as MM1's was in my opinion.<br /><br />MM1's mechanics, I've always kind of viewed it as the black sheep title of the Classic series even though it was the game that started it all.
