Also, I don't know when I will get to it, but I think I may make MegaMan Battle Network Banners next, since the X Series will be harder to do. I don't know when I will get to it though.
 
Thanks, bro

Who is your favorite MegaMan character?
As for this question, I would have to say Tron Bonne followed by Airman.

I really liked the Legends series. It's a shame that chances are they'll might never be a 3rd one.

No problem, although I'll say I'm a girl and therefore not a bro. ^.^

Don't count out Legends so quickly, it is the MegaMan series most wanted to have more games, other than Classic before 9 was released. Rockman Dash, MegaMan Legends' JP name, is very popular, with their characters appearing in quite a few things. Here are the total amount of times that a MegaMan series has had playable characters in a cameo game as well as the games they've appeared in.
MegaMan Classic - 4
Spoiler:
MegaMan X - None
MegaMan Legends - 3
Spoiler:
MegaMan Zero - 2
Spoiler:
MegaMan Battle Network - 1
Spoiler:
As you can see, Legends is only second to the classic series. Surprisingly, no characters from MegaMan X have been included in any crossovers as playable characters. I guess it isn't very popular in Japan.

Oh, and on a related note to this, I found out that Marvel vs Capcom 2 has been confirmed to be re-released in its Dreamcast form, which is the closest to the arcade original as well as what they use in Tournaments, onto the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network complete with Online Gameplay incorporated as well as all 50+ characters unlocked from the get-go. It also seems that it used elements that the Dreamcast couldn't load at their full quality that the Live Arcade & PSN re-releases will. Its release is set for this summer, so it won't be long before we get to brawl with MegaMan, Roll, Tron Bonne, & Servbot against or with other Capcom and Marvel characters.

Yeah, I advise trying it out on a rom. I don't advise beating it on one though, since roms are illegal as we all know, but if you like it, try to find a copy. There are 6, most of which have two versions. All of them are on the GBA, although MegaMan Battle Network 5 was released on Nintendo DS as well, called MegaMan Battle Network 5: Double Team DS, which features both versions of BN5, Team ProtoMan & Team Colonel. You don't always play as MegaMan, such as BN5, where you can play as other members of your team such as ProtoMan, Colonel, Medi, ShadowMan, as well as others. Battle Network also features several Boktai references, which is a great series, shame it never did well outside Japan.

Same with BN6 you can play with other characters besides Hub. Pretty fun playing with other characters I have to say.
 
If one wants to experience the EXE series at it's best, I highly recommend MMBN 2 and 3 (either version will do, but I had Blue). In my opinion, that was the height of the series. After 3, you notice the games get A LOT easier (beat Gregar first try with full HP)
 
I found this on Protodude's Rockman Corner. Note that Rockman DASH is the Japanese name for MegaMan Legends.
"A recent survey conducted by Famitsu asked its readers to rank which franchise sequels they're craving to see most. Surprise, surprise, sequels to Rockman X and Rockman DASH made the cut -- DASH at number 7, X at number 13:

1. Sakura Taisen (aka Sakura Wars) 267 votes
2. Shenmue 249 votes
3. Okami 204 votes
4. Gotchaforce 189 votes
5. Xenogears 185 votes
6. Breath of Fire 180 votes
7. Rockman Dash 176 votes
8. Ogre Battle 174 votes
9. Chikyuu Boueigun (aka Earth Defence Force) 162 votes
10. Kowloon's Gate 151 votes
11. Shinobido 141 votes
12. Demon's Souls 123 votes
13. Rockman X 110 votes

Whether Capcom is aware of these numbers is anybody's guess. In any case, I'm very happy to see DASH in the top ten, incredibly reassuring to know the Japanese demand is still there after all these years."

On a side note, I recently downloaded the ripped soundtrack for Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Its really good. Relating to this, TvC has 2 MegaMan related songs.
The Flutter vs Gesellschaft - Theme of MegaMan Volnutt, Song Origin: MegaMan Legends
Kaze yo Tsutaete (Winds, Let Him Know) (Ver. 2008) - Theme of Roll (Classic), Song Origin: MegaMan Battle & Chase, also used in Marvel vs Capcom

I really love Roll's Theme song, its very nice and it actually has vocals! I put the most like translation for its name up there, it could also be translated as "Winds, let that person know" or "Winds, Teach him/her", since there is no specified gender.
Listen to them both here: https://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/2008/12/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-soundtrack-samples.html
Listen to all character themes here: https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B1D23855AFA3E63C

Tatsunoko vs Capcom itself is actually very good reportedly, good enough that Capcom is attempting to get around licensing issues that exist to release it in the US. Although they say themselves that it will likely never see US release. If that turns out to be the case, I'm going to import it, because I love fighting games, albeit sucking at them, and it has a few of my fav characters in it, MegaMan Volnutt, Roll, & Morrigan, who has a new model for the first time.

I wish they would release Tatsunoko vs Capcom in America.

Also, does anyone know what's up with the name changes from Japanese to English (Megaman, Protoman, and I think maybe Bass too, but I'm not sure on that one.) I really liked the music related names they had.

You may get your wish, sorta..rumor has it that Capcom will use the "guts" of Tatsunoko vs Capcom to make another game, Marvel vs Capcom 3. They will keep all of the Capcom characters the same and exchange the Tatsunoko side with Marvel characters such as Wolverine, Spider-Man, Hulk, etc. It will be the same basic game, just with new characters, stories, and stages. The rumor stems from a Marvel source saying that MvC3 will be made "before you think" whereas a Capcom source said that he'd like to make it someday. Furthering this was the revealing of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for XBLA & PSN, which Capcom had to stop making discs for PS2 & Xbox because they lost the Marvel liscense, which may mean that they have gotten it back.

Sure, here's why.
Rockman to MegaMan
--Reason: Capcom USA thought the US audience wouldn't get the reason for his name and would think that he has a "Rock" power like ElecMan's electricity power. Most translations kept his real name as "Rock", although Powered Up changed it to "Mega", which is dumb. The MegaMan name was carried on in future series to maintain continuity.
Blues to Protoman
--Reason: Mostly the same as above, they thought that US gamers wouldn't get the musical reference and question why he isn't actually Blue.
Dr. Right to Dr. Wright to Dr. Light
--Reason: Mostly just mistranslations, eventually they settled on Light as his last name. His first name was always translated correctly as "Thomas".
Forte to Bass
--Reason: Capcom USA believed that Forte didn't sound cool enough for US gamers, they figured Bass would sound cooler.
Gospel to Treble
--Reason: Nintendo USA in the SNES era was very against religious references in games released on its system, which is why The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods subtitle was changed to A Link to the Past and all religious references removed. Gospel, a name taken from Christianity, was renamed Treble, to go along with his owner's US name of Bass. Ironic considering that they didn't think US gamers would get the references before.
Vava to Vile (MegaMan X series)
--Reason: Vava sounds to similar to Boba, as in Boba Fett, the character Vile's appearance is based on. They wanted to avoid a lawsuit from LucasArts and thus changed the name.
Irregular to Maverick
--Reason: I'm not positive, but I believe that Capcom USA probably believed that Maverick sounds better than Irregular.
Vile to Weil (MegaMan Zero series)
--Reason: The name Vile was already used for another character, see above, so they went with a name pronounced the same way, only with a W, although it would be pronounced the exact same if said in the German style, where W is pronounced the same as a V.


To go along with a previous statement of mine, I recently downloaded the Marvel vs Capcom OST.

Just thought I'd add that in the Megaman Battle Network Series, Treble's name was reverted back to Gospel. I don't know why, though.
 
I'd like to join this club....

I don't know why either. Its probably because Treble doesn't sound very intimidating for a final boss or for an organization that named itself after said boss.

Welcome then.

Hmm, what a shame, I ever so do like the Japanese names a little bit more.

And I started playing Megaman 4, 5, and 6. Don't know why I skipped them...But anyhow, it feels like Megaman 4 is a lot harder then the first 3. Maybe it's just I'm not used to the level disign or the enemies.

Also, wouldthe DS games be a wise investment? I hear Star Force is okay, but the second one ahs a horrible story. I haven't heard much about Megaman ZX though.
 
I personally did not like Starforce. The story line is pretty weak to me the gameplay is okay but I just dont care much for it. ZX was fun to me although in Advent alot of the forms that Model A uses are useless and they have people doing the voices I thought they were pretty bad so I played the game with the volume off. You might want to try Starforce 3 it comes out in the U.S. June 30th.
 
I like some Japanese names more, like Rockman & Blues, but I prefer the name Bass to Forte. I can't help but use the names MegaMan and ProtoMan though, its what I grew up calling them.

I think the DS is a great investment for multiple reasons (MegaMan, Mario, Castlevania, etc). MegaMan ZX is one of my favorite series. For Advent, I agree the voices aren't very good, but they're still better than other games, like R.A.D and some 2008 game whose name I forget (I know that the voice cast was the company's CEO's friends and family) for PS2. I haven't had a chance to play StarForce yet.

I've played the first Star force games (Dragon & Leo to be exact)
& I like them, expect for when I gotten everthing....not much to do then at all....
I'd waste my money on something I won't mind going though the whole story again & again,
like the Megaman X games, or Megaman Zero...
(speaking of which, on Megaman Zero, once you do clear the story, it'll let
you go though the story again with just about everything you gotten so far...I wonder if Megaman ZX is the same way.....
if so, I'd get that...)
 
If you were a fan of the Megaman Zero games, then you'll probably love Megaman ZX. However, I didn't think there was much improvement in Advent. Not that the game was bad, but it was exactly like ZX except with a slightly different storyline.

I played Megaman Zero all the time...
until I saw the ending of Megaman Zero 4.......
& I was considering getting ZX, but as I've mentioned,
I don't like games that are only fun until you gotten everything &
there's nothing to do afterwards...
Is ZX kind of like Zero, that you can go though the story again with just
about everything you gotten so far?
