Title: RFN RetroActive #27 Poll: Epic Mega Man Showdown
Post by: Jonnyboy117 on April 12, 2013, 10:37:36 AM
We recently discussed a Listener Mail question about our preferences between these two classic action games, and all of us had mixed feelings. It's time to settle it once and for all, the only way we know how -- your votes! You have until Wed. April 24 to vote. Both of these games are on Wii and 3DS Virtual Console, as well as included in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection (beware that the GameCube version has weird controls; PS2 version is fine).

So my only choices are between two Mega Man games I'm equally sick of hearing about? Pass...

Something to keep in mind: Mega Man 2 on the PS2 and GameCube collections is the Japanese version and its difficulty is roughly equivalent to Hard mode on the NES (Wii and 3DS VC) version. Even though I own both versions of that collection, I'm probably still gonna buy the ROM.

Never actually played either. Since MM2 gets talked about much more, I went with MM3 son that can be talked about for once.

I'll vote for Mega Man 3. I personally think Mega Man 2 is kinda overrated and could do without any more evangelising of that game.

I went with MM3 because it gets less exposure as well.

Uhm, I just went with 3 because... I like that number :cool; ! Is that such a bad thing? Well but really, I played 1 from all the wonderfulness that Jonny spews about it (yes, spews) and I found it way, way, way, way, way, way too "I'm a classic game so I need to be really hard to control and overall tough to beat" so I hope that 3 is better... ;D

I just feel like there's nothing interesting left to say about either game. They're 2D NES side-scrolling platformers with very little depth and a great deal of notoriety. The bulk of the discussion will pretty much boil down to the following, because it's just about all anyone ever has to say about those games:
Mega Man 2 - "iconic intro. Great music. The Metal Blades are ridiculously overpowered. Quick Man's stage is ridiculous. You use WHAT to defeat Wiley? The game's pretty hard. "
Mega Man 3 - "you can slide now. Fighting old bosses was cool. Snake man's stage is ridiculous. Proto Man was neat. The game's pretty hard."
And if they're playing the games on the MM Collection on GameCube: "Man, the controls suck."
I just don't feel like there are any hidden depths to plunder and nothing new to say about either game, especially with only those two extremely well-known MM games available. Also, we just had RFN's discussion on both games when they answered that original Email. That's why I said "pass" on this one.

Question: Is the loser of this poll going into Second Chance at some point?

Post by: Jonnyboy117 on April 13, 2013, 10:48:39 PM
Probably not, Shaymin. If it won Second Chance, it might be too similar to the discussion that comes out of this poll. Plus, the whole point of a two-way race is that one must get left behind.

I've never played a megaman game. I've never participated in a RetroActive (outside of listening). Drum roll please........ I'm now going to do BOTH for the first time. I'm going to play whichever wins and I'll participate in RetroActive. I'm voting 2 because I know very little, but on that recent episode of RFN they said 2 is easier for new comers.
Title: Re: RFN RetroActive #27 Poll: Epic Mega Man Showdown
Post by: sirmastersephiroth on April 14, 2013, 12:46:28 AM
I recently beat Mega Man 2 so I'd rather play Mega Man 3. I haven't played this game since probably the 90's, so I'm itching to play it again.
Title: Re: RFN RetroActive #27 Poll: Epic Mega Man Showdown
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 14, 2013, 12:56:42 AM
I do think other games should have been included in the poll. Both games have been discussed to death (albeit MM2 more so), even on RFN. What can be added that hasnt been many times before?
Title: Re: RFN RetroActive #27 Poll: Epic Mega Man Showdown
Post by: Fjurbanski on April 14, 2013, 04:12:22 AM
I vote 2, because MM2 has Woodman. And Woodman is awesome. He shoots leaves at you like a really ugly pokemon. And his stage has those wolves that for some reason always remind me of the wolf from The Never Ending Story. And now I'm just free associating nostalgic memories with Woodman's stage. And playing it over and over again, because it was the only stage I was good enough to beat when we went out of town to visit my parents' friends and all I could do for the weekend was play their NES and NEVER make any progress in MM2. or that infuriating Mickey Mouse game with the pirate ship....
Personally, I think that rather than voting for which one we should play, you should make us play both and then we duke it out for which one is best based on our discussion. Buuuut, if that's off the table, then MM2.
Title: Re: RFN RetroActive #27 Poll: Epic Mega Man Showdown
Post by: Pixelated Pixies on April 14, 2013, 05:04:04 AM
Just a quick thought. How does our votes settle the debate once and for all?
Those people who have played both games have already made up their mind which one they prefer. I guess you could say that whichever game wins the poll is the more popular game and is, therefore, the better game; but then we would have to assume that people are picking their favourite rather than the one they want to play for retroactive. I for instance would argue that Mega Man 2 is the better game. I have, however, played that game to death. So I'd probably pick Mega Man 3 for this poll because I've played that less.
Also, the fact that people who have played neither game get to vote tells us nothing about which game is better.
...damn...I've clearly thought way too much about this. :-[

Post by: TheYoungerPlumber on April 14, 2013, 06:11:38 PM
I have to agree that this RetroActive poll seems misguided. I'd rather vote none of the above, myself, given the option. I have little interest in playing or hearing about either of these.

Post by: Jonnyboy117 on April 14, 2013, 07:17:23 PM
Come now, how often do you hear a detailed discussion of any particular Mega Man game? The series is only ever criticized or memorialized as a whole, if at all. I think this could be a lot of fun, and over 40 people in the first 24 hours alone seem to agree.
Title: Re: RFN RetroActive #27 Poll: Epic Mega Man Showdown
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 14, 2013, 09:56:06 PM
It seems like every gaming podcast (including RFN) have had detailed discussions about both MM2 and MM3. I just dont see what could be added that hasnt been talked about many times before.
As for voting, I vote in every RetroActive poll even if I have no interest in the games.

I guess I don't listen to enough gaming podcasts, because the most substantive MegaMan discussion I've heard is when the listener mail came up a few weeks ago.
Agree on the voting comment though. QTY of votes doesn't necessarily indicate the level of interest in the options or interest in playing along.
But as someone without a large amount of time to devote to games lately, something on the quicker end like a MegaMan game would be appreciated on my part.

Post by: ClexYoshi on April 14, 2013, 11:39:03 PM
I easily think Mega Man 2 is better than Mega Man 3, plain and simple. I'm gonna be holding back a more detailed wall of text for the thread, because like many, MANY other nerds out there on the information superhighway, I eat, Drink and excrete Mega Man. I'm the kind of person who is so enraptured with the classic series that I will play ROM Hacks [Seriously folks, play Rockman 4 Minus Infinity. it is pure delicious fun juice and plays fairly differently than any other Mega Man game but in an incredibly good way] and quite frankly, a nice chillaxe run through Mega Man 2 or one of the later NES titles like Mega Man 6 is a form of catharsis for me after a particularly bad day.
That being said, I probably have more to talk about with Mega Man 3 than I do with Mega Man 2, because I feel that Mega Man 3 has far more glaring flaws in comparison to the second game.
Either way, I win this poll though. Seriously, Ys?!? that's like... the one game on that last retroactive that I didn't have a lot to say about. >_>;;

Now THAT'S the spirit. I will admit that if you go to the right corners of the internet, this debate has been beaten to a dead and bloody pulp, but not everyone here is going to be instantly familiar with the age old argument outside of what the RFN crew already discussed. I have a lot to say on both of these games, and I've already started playing both of them today to get ready for this.
Heck, if you're interested and once we get the proper thread under way for whatever wins, I'm willing to schedule a stream and play through them again live to share my personal experience with both of these illustrious Capcom titles.

I should say, that it's not the members of the podcast (or even the participants in the forums) that I'm worried about. I don't doubt that the RFN crew will find something interesting to say about these games.
Unfortunately, however, I am one of those people who have had this debate, as Clex put it, 'beaten to a dead and bloody pulp' through years of podcasts, retrospectives, countdowns, forums, blogs etc. I fear I won't be able to contribute much beyond a blank stare and drool. If you're lucky I might find it within me to tell the story of how I nearly beat Mega Man 2 before I realised you could switch weapons, but beyond that I don't have much to say that hasn't been said a million times before.

Both games carry such great memories for me that it's honestly been hard to commit to a vote. I've already changed it twice. I look forward to the discussion.

I understand that, it's like if Retroactive took a look at Super Mario World or something... that being said, I'm prepared to talk all sorts of good things like why the Top Spin is actually a pretty decent weapon or strange and fun bugs or properties of Robot Master Weapons that people may not know about or just... all sorts of knowledge.
Just because -we- are privy to this knowledge doesn't mean that we cannot help in the proliferation of it... heck, we could end up learning something surprising that we didn't know, and that excites me, even if I shouldn't be holding my breath for such things to happen. Even so, I'm excited also to spread this kind of info, and I really do believe you could help, Pixpix.

The debate is all right here. Once the winner is finalized, we are going to focus squarely on that one game and largely set aside direct comparisons. I really think there's a novel discussion to be had about any given Mega Man game, especially these early ones where the formula was still being established and purified.

I was listening to the RFN Backlog at one point from the begining, but I think I fell off of my regimine of NWR Podcast binge at some point and never got back on.

ClexYoshi, if you haven't heard them yet, the RFN retrospective episodes for Ocarina of Time (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/17249) (non-numbered, available here) and Super Metroid (episode 142) (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/18237) are really great. They predate the retroactive feature and remain two of my favorite episodes on the podcast. On occasion they've made a reappearance into my running podcast rotation.
More on topic, I decided to cast my vote on the side of Mega Man 3, though I feel like the music and bosses from Mega Man 2 are far more iconic, a discussion of MM3 does seem like the road less traveled. I have been playing MM2 on my 3DS, and it made me realize how much I hate the start and select buttons on my 3DS since it forces you to use the start button to switch weapons. (I had grown spoiled by the ability to quickly switch abilities that was in the anniversary collection version, which is a version that I sadly no longer own.)

i feel this would be better suited as some type of interactive segment of connectivity debating between the two games instead of a full retroactive... i honestly feel that the idea of a debate setup where say Neal and Patrick, debate on two games like this pulling comments from a retroactive style thread would be a great idea for connectivity.

Well, I owned MM3 when I was a wee lad so that is the game I have all the nostalgic feelings towards. I played MM2 for the first time a year or so ago and couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about it since graphics, music and game balance were all better in MM3... through my rose tinted glasses in any case. ;) Also, the lack of slide makes MM2 so SLOW. ;) MM3 gets my vote - but I'm going to play them both again. Can't wait to hear the RFN discussion!

THIS.
Yeah, Inafune doesn't feel so good about Mega Man 3, and quite frankly, neither do I at some points. not saying Mega Man 3 is bad, because god knows it kicks ass and people love it more than Mega Man 2, but I feel that Mega Man 3's failings are the most GLARING of the Mega Man games made for the NES outside of maybe like... Wily and Light's Rockboard, but nobody in their right mind has sat through that Fortune Street/Monopoly knockoff long enough for me to go into discussion about THAT game. @_@;;

I voted for Mega Man 3 based on the discussions in this topic. I've never played either.
My MM game back then was Mega Man X. I remember my mom asking me if it was an adult game (I presume because of the X in the title. I was 13 at the time). ;D She was so good about stuff like that (though it rarely came up since, for the most part, I wasn't into very violent games anyway). Ah, gaming in the 8/16-bit era.

I really can't imagine Lindemann missing this retroactive. After all, there are few series that provide as much fodder for double entendre jokes as the Mega Man; look at all the names of the robot masters in MM3 alone.
Just to be clear, I am mentioning this in jest. I have missed Lindy's presence on the podcast, too; that's not to say that the other guests haven't been good, though.
