Mega Man (classic series)

Is the point systems included in Powered Up for any reason?

[Discoalucard]

I think it's just there because the original game used it...not that there was any point for it there either.

Mega Man IV for the Game Boy:

The ROM has dummied out alternate music tracks, mostly just slightly deviated takes on the finalized score.

I guess this should be "the beta ROM"?

I think still in the released game. I might need to recheck, since I believe there's one form of a beta carts for all the GB games. It's the first game that has any significant changes

Nostalgia? To justify the existence of those blue dot items?

RockBoard has a fan translation available, you guys forgot to mention it in the article.

Crap! There's no mention of the endings for Battle & Chase.

Yeah this needs mention of the endings for sure, if only to mention the debut of Roll's Theme Song, Kaze Yo Tsutate:

Rock Board is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. Had a fun 4-player session with it couple of times. Too bad it hasn't been properly translated and probably no one will ever bother.

Isn't there a Chinese Rockman PC strategy game that wasn't developed by Capcom, but was officially licensed? It might have been based off the X series though. Definitely remember reading about it.

[alphex]

There is:

But then again, the PC "versions" of 1 and 3 were also officially licensed.

Anything you want me to add on?

Here's the B&C ending writeup. Either I plum forgot or it got deleted. Either way, wrote this fresh:

Besting Wily in a race earns an ending for the character chosen. Each ending showcases a unique way the winner celebrate or spends his or her hard-earned cash prize. They're simple-- sometimes rather benign-- little artwork stills, but some have a humorous tinge to them, like Spring Man buying too many weights for his body or Guts Man getting booed out for his painfullly sung enka tune on karaoke. There are a few interesting twists on characterizations; Ice Man is portrayed having a crush on Roll as he made an ice scuplture of her and him together in the South Pole, and Quick Man strives to challenge his rival: former champion Turbo Man (why wasn't HE in this game?). A flawless run as Roll grants the player a special added ending song for her: "Kaze yo Tsutaete" sung by Yoshino Aoki. "Kaze" would become Roll's theme song in various later games and spin-offs.

You can place the paragraph after "E-rated Carmaddegon" line. You can link to the song (posted by drpepperfan above) if you like.

Yay finally the DOS Games \o/

Never knew about that Rockman Strategy game, very interesting to read about. What other things are left to write about? I'm guessing we're scraping the bottom of the barrel now for Classic games.
