Rockman 1-6 [PS import]

[johnk_]

but i specifically remember 3 having the best title screen music ever..

Are you kidding me??? 4 was awesome and had the best bosses and enemies since 2 and the Dr. Cossack & Wily Castle stages were excellent! 5 is where it started to go bad.

MM3 always had MM2 bosses. Next to Karnov in Bad Dudes, those had to be the most baddass cameos of the NES era.

This is simply the most egregious example of the Capcom milk machine at work. It utterly blows my mind that straight ports of 8-bit games are selling for almost full retail. $199 isn't much off the mark. Skip them.

Well they all have Pocket Station mini games, and art work gallery. Thats what I gathered from Capcoms website. And wicked cool Cover art.

Sent out on Saturday.


I would've kept it, but you know, I can't play it. Too old of a mod apparently. Also interferes with a few of Capcom's NA releases.

Each of the games had a price tag of 2000 something yen (the typical going price for classic rereleases - they're all a bit stingy), which all tallied is a fair amount under the $200 mark.

Hah... as a Mega Man fan, MM4 was "blah" (but still good), MM5 was awesome (the storyline with Proto Man was great), and 6 was another "blah". That's funny.

My reason MM4 was "blah?" Mainly it was the bosses...

Dust Man
Skull Man
Dive Man
Ring Man
Pharaoh Man
Bright Man
Toad Man
Drill Man

Aside from Pharaoh Man, the rest weren't as cool as...

The bosses in MM5...

Wave Man
Gyro Man
Napalm Man
Gravity Man

The saving grace of MM4 were Cossack level's music and the Wire Hook item.

BTW Rob, got your e-mail, I'll let you know when I get the package.

Well, I guess I'll step in here to defend Matt a bit. Those did run $30 new when they first came out and some of them (Rockman 1 and 2 especially) are getting somewhat hard to get. He's not someone to gouge, so I'm guessing that he probably paid close to that price to get them all. He's a good guy and not someone who will intentially inflate prices way over what he pays to make a buck. On another note I would agree that they aren't worth that though. Capcom really should have put all 6 on one disc.

I actually can't believe someone is willing to pay $30 friggin for games that can be had pretty easily on an Nes for far less.

First off, you don't need an NES to play these games (my NES probably can't run games anymore), second off, there's an enhanced mode where there's an updated soundtrack, and third, there's Pocketstation support. Add the fact that there's awesome artwork in the manuals and you get the Complete Works. $30 is nothing for an NES game in Japan, they sell coffee that goes for $10...

Then add on importing costs, rare game premiums and the convenience of getting all six at a time, and you have your $199.

And the difference between these MM ports and most classic rereleases is that most rereleases include more than one game.

Wake me up when Capcom remakes MM2 with high-res sprites and a driving rock soundtrack.

Well, if you are a collector, as well as a fan of the series I imagine its worth it.
