Megaman 9

Started by Darth Jello5 pages

has anyone played this game yet? I've beaten all the original games (except the pc ones) several times over and nothing compares to how hard this one is. Dear god, this game is near impossible. Can't wait for the october content download to unlock protoman as a playable character so i can use the mega buster, shield, and slide.

No we 360 users have to wait until October, damn Microsoft...apparently there will be a years worth of content as thanks to the fans; so far I've heard it's very good, it's truly the success 4 should have been...

I just downloaded it today and yes, it's tough. I tried at least 3 stages so far and I died on all of them. I'm gonna really need walkthrough or something this game. But then again, in Megaman, stages are usually more harder than the bosses themselves.

well, i think i've got an order worked out-galaxy man, jewel man, plug man, tornado man, magma man, hornet man, splash woman, concrete man. Oh, and the Trident Laser is the weapon in this game that can destroy certain walls.

Oh, and the Trident Laser is the weapon in this game that can destroy certain walls and the concrete cannon can freeze those deadly lava blaster things which becomes real useful in wily's castle. also, use the black hole bomb on the dragon mini boss.

just beat it. I'm assuming that there will be more plot/other storylines when the downloadable content becomes available in october. i hear some of the downloads will be harder game modes, protoman, the mega buster and slide, and a new game section with a new boss. btw, the concrete shot blocks the lasers in wily part 4

That just might work. I just beat Galaxy Man's stage so I'll do the rest when I get the chance.

concrete shot blocks the lasers in wily's 4th stage. weapons for wily's castle:
head bosses-plasma cannon- bounce the mace balls into the heads.
Shark ship- laser trident
Bio devils- Black hole bomb
Wily machine-
1. Plasma Cannon-bounce the dino eggs into the skulls jaw
2. Concrete Shot
3. Plug Ball

Please don't give away major points to defeating the games bosses, if people want to know how to beat them, instead of trying to figure out the weaknesses let them go on youtube and find a vid walkthrough, it's rather annoying that you are sucking the fun out of the game for people yet to play or manage to reach Wily's fortress...this goes for the Masters as well, it's ruining the whole...oh i don't know challenge of playing megaman, you also by the by managed to ruin the surprise of who the fortress bosses are.

You could have also been courteous and used SPOILER TAGS! for this info you carelessly spilled out.

i didn't spoil any plot points at all since the downloadable content info was released by capcom before the game, as for the hints, trust me, they won't ruin any of the difficulty because you still have to actually do this stuff. If you sat down and played the game and realized how ass hair tearingly difficult it is, you'd know that.

well as i told you i can't...because it's not available on the 360.

Well so far I only beat two stages so I'm really gonna have look for walkthroughs for this, just like I did in the first Megaman (which I beat only just recently).

I've only killed galaxy man... I keep trying to charge my shot only to remember "Oh, yea... they took it away."

I finally beat it today! Man those stages are tough. It took me hours but I finally did it...thanks to the walkthroughs once again. 😂

Pssh, walkthroughs... You get no bragging rights when you use walkthroughs. (That's why I rarely use walkthroughs... I like my bragging rights. 😄)

has anyone been playing this with the glitches on? also, try playing this with your helmet off. Jesus, you take more damage than a castlevania game on crack. And in case anyone was curious about what the roll costume thing does but doesn't wanna save up tons of screws, (again, not a spoiler) it just changes her sprite to something kinda resembling her current incarnation.

Anyone checked out the download list in the manual or on capcom's site? any predictions on who the downloadable boss will be?

For a game like this? Please! Even WITH walkthroughs, it was no cakewalk. You can use walkthroughs and STILL brag about it.

I didn't know about the glitches. Heck, I didn't pay attention to any of that.

I hadn't checked it out yet but it does sounds interesting.

Man, the MM9 music and sounds are stuck to my head. Of course, this always happen when I play a game for hours. They might be in my head for the next few days now.

actually the music and sounds to me are the real weak point. With the NES games i thought that the music really took a turn for the worst after mega man 4 with 5 and 6 seemingly having really tinny music with unoriginal compositions for the most part and the games seeming bright and vibrant both tonally and visually compared with the previous ones. Apart from the mega man 2 ques, i thought 9 was really another step down in terms of music with a few exceptions.

As for glitches, the game has an option in the options screen to toggle on and off glitches such as slowdown and flicker put in by the programmers specifically to recreate the experience of playing the first six games on a nintendo.

I played this at my friends house tonight on his 360. Jesus, I played one stage and i had more than enough. Megaman x4 is the only megaman i see worth playing anymore.

I must disagree, i find the music to be once again on top form, the only game i can honestly say has bad music is MM8, this game thankfully goes back to tradition and offers more amazing retro music that's great to listen to, i would choose this over the Dead rising soundtrack any day.

I believe they may do a MMPU here and offer all bosses as playable soon, however who do i think will be made available first....Splash woman would be my guess.
