I would think it's the other way around: The maps are always changing from game to game, but the battles are always the same sort of thing. (The hometown staying the same as one exception, sure: How often does a real town completely rearrange itself?) There are only so many ways you can make striking a set of 18 squares for massive damage seem exciting, so I wonder why they couldn't change that whole battle setup around more to keep it fresh.Ryan Ferneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955330155998980272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-45186222876112712212009-12-30T16:32:01.945-06:002009-12-30T16:32:01.945-06:00Wow...that was a long argument.

One of the things that I don't agree with is that we want to see more of the platformers. I mean it is best if they expand on EXE and SSR. This is because now that Geo's dad is back, they can carry on and start a whole NEW plot that might appeal to everybody better. In other words, they can once again start fresh. As for EXE, it's best if they continue with it as well. You see, people are now aware of EXE because of OSS's advertisment. You saw all the posters and everything they put up. It really got everybody's attention. Now is the moment that Capcom should use to make new games. Even remakes of ports, as long as they are not as bad as OSS. Or even completely new games for the series. I mean they can have Patch star as the main character. This is technically a new series, but, still associated with BN. So it's not a continuation of BN, since it is over, but still attracts all the fans for BN and maybe even SSR. They could even make another desent crossover. There more things they can do with the most popular series from Megaman, which is technically BN (look at the sells). Now, do I want them to stop the Platformers? No. Keep them coming as long as it is the popular and demanded ones like Legends 3(which in my opinion I really don't understand) or maybe X9(which I really wouldn't mind). I really also don't think we can point fingures at the creator. I mean I don't think that he really wants it either. However, I do agree that Capcom listens to fans more than the creator. Is it possible to give ideas to Capcom Protodude? Is there somebody that can answer this question?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-43960733564079363052009-12-29T13:01:23.318-06:002009-12-29T13:01:23.318-06:00On a side-note, don't ever act like Capcom doe...On a side-note, don't ever act like Capcom doesn't pay attention to their fans. Have you even kept up with Capcom-Unity? The way they treat new content for games like Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter IV is exactly what fans have asked for. In fact... They often ASK fans what they want. And they do this with nearly all of their franchises. We're getting all those Ace Attorney games on WiiWare too. Just unfortunately, Mega Man seems to be in a vice grip with Keiji Inafune anymore, and the things fans really want, he won't let happen... At least, that's the way it seems anymore. He has a vision of what Mega Man should be (which is apparently 8-bit or bobble-headed)... and he won't let anyone disrupt that. So don't accuse Capcom of not doing what we want. If there should be any fingers pointing, direct them to the Blue Bomber's creator and his creative differences with the company.Seikonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-74857396905212167102009-12-29T13:01:06.936-06:002009-12-29T13:01:06.936-06:00Comparing games like Classic and X to Star Force a...Comparing games like Classic and X to Star Force and Battle Network is like comparing Mario 3 to Mario RPG. They are completely separate genres, and it's not a fair comparison. They are arguably both some of Mario's best adventures ever... However Mario 3 is a platformer with a thin storyline, and Mario RPG has hours of replay value, a plot, dialogue, and character development. Does that make Mario 3 a bad game? At the same time, is Mario RPG a bad game because it dismissed the established trademarks that define a Mario platformer?<br /><br />So you see... It's not about whether or not X is better than Battle Network because they are not fair comparisons. Capcom has expanded the Mega Man franchise to try and appeal to broader audiences, and now there are essentially three or four different iterations of Mega Man to appeal to specific demographics. Capcom doesn't expect every gamer to like every Mega Man spin-off. That's the point of a spin-off... You take some of the charm of the classic and try something new. It's like saying Mario Kart sucks compared to Mario World. It doesn't suck; it's just a different experience that you're not required to like as a Mario fan.<br /><br />I agree that I want Capcom to start focusing a little less on the RPG/hobby games and more on the other franchises, specifically X, Legends, and ZX, but only because I prefer the platformers. I'm better at them.<br /><br />But who are we kidding? Capcom does what sells. Battle Network was Mega Man's highest point financially in his entire 22 year career. It was the "Pokémon boom" of Mega Man. So it makes sense that Capcom would continue to try and replicate that success via Battle Network and the similar Star Force. Meanwhile the X series sales were waning in Japan (even after its Final Fantasy-style RPG diversion in Command Mission), Legends was critically panned at the time of its release, and Zero/ZX segregated itself from the casual gamer with its raised difficulty.<br /><br />But Battle Network sold like hot-cakes in Japan, enough to spawn a 209-episode anime series that ran for 4 years and even birthed Mega Man's first big-screen feature film. Yes, it bears tremendous similarities with other hobby-style games like Pokémon, but this is a big deal in Japan, adding hours of gameplay to "collect it all," as well as plenty of multiplayer competition opportunities, and plenty of special gimmicky give-aways for Battle Chips and what-not. And such a formula is easily recycled with minute changes every year to expand the success.<br /><br />Is it unoriginal? Not at all. If you want to be successful, try doing what a successful person does. And if you're the successful person, do what you're already doing until it's broken.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Capcom has renewed interest in the Classic franchise in the U.S. by milking the nostalgic 8-bit NES style that was popularized in American gaming culture thanks to apparel (Hot Topic) and internet fandom. Now they can produce late-80's-quality platforming games, offer them at a discount price as a downloadable game, and rake in even more dough for relatively low production costs.<br /><br />Now tell me, from a business perspective, is it at all surprising that Capcom would make the choices they have lately? <br /><br />Following suit, OSS was a financial disaster even in Japan, and it makes even more sense to NOT bring it over to the U.S. That's simply a waste of money. But they have the opportunity to offer the Star Colosseum as a downloadable DSi game... a format Mega Man has found success in with MM9 (and presumably again with MM10). It's a smart, profitable experiment for the company.Seikonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-19060102264892540302009-12-29T12:16:43.964-06:002009-12-29T12:16:43.964-06:00That would be awesome, it'd mean I'd defin...That would be awesome, it'd mean I'd definitely get a DSi or Lite.

Of course Krazy Monkey can say anything he/she wants. Though, I don't understand what is the point of saying something negative. Plus, I have a feeling that Krazy Monkey hasn't even played most, or at least the better, games of the EXE series.<br /><br />Hmmm, Pokemon Rockman game you say? I wouldn't exactly agree with that. I mean sure there are some similar concepts involved, though, the only one that I can think of is the turn concept which isn't even similar. Can you think of anything else that is similar? In a way that is like comparing an apple to an orange because they both are fruit. Plus, the music is AMAZING in the EXE series. For example, the title themes of all the EXE GBA games. Almost everybody loves them. Also, though good, the Classic series music if well kind of too old. As for the X series music, I frankly never enjoyed it as much as the EXE (and Starforce music).<br /><br />It doesn't take a whole YEAR to get 200 chips. I have done it myself in less than a year. <br /><br />I am sorry but I actually, in my opinioin, like the EXE series more than the Classic. After all the EXE series DID sell more than all the other Megaman or Rockman games (of course the Japan sells tells us the future of the series). <br /><br />The EXE/SSR series has a plot that shows the developement of the characters and a good story. Unlike in the Classic series where its fight this boss, then the next one, and finally the last one. <br /><br />The Classic series keeps using the same graphics. MM9 could have been so much better with better graphics. Now they do the same thing again and use the same graphics again in MM10. Shows how much Capcom cares about the Classic series and how much effort they want to put in it, compared to BN and SSR(3). The EXE/SSR series atleast has cool transformations, but in the Classic series it was just a color change.

Legends, in particular (from what I've played) wasn't anything special, and definitely wasn't worthy of all the praise it's been getting. In short, I've actually tried to enjoy other series besides Classic and X, but I just couldn't.<br /><br />Lastly, it's crappy series like Battle Network and Starforce that kept the Classic series on a ten-year hiatus, and I could see the same thing repeating itself yet again, only this time with the X series. For example, Keiji Inafune has been asked about Mega Man X9 several times, and during that 22nd Anniversary thing that went on almost two weeks ago, he said that he wants to do something "completely different" with Mega Man before he DOES go on to make that. Going by that, I'm pretty sure that the "something different" he's referring to is another crappy new series that'll be getting way more attention than one of the only two series that are actually good.Krazy Monkeynoreply@blogger.com
