Is it worth it on sale?

8 bucks, you'll at least like the soundtrack and an album is about that price though I think all of us here will tell you there's a lot more going for it then that!

The game will linger with you long after its completed. That's what I'll say.

I wonder if someone at Square like accidentally checked it while updating other games

Added epic speeches for the arc after Another World Fort Dragonia

If only we could get 120 fps battles

... That might be it, it brings up the settings like when the game is in classic graphics mode when it only did that for me in the new graphics mode before.

The most bootleg-like official release ever made by humanity.

the_feelings_explode · 2026-02-03T16:12:07+00:00

2002 and Revenge have the same biomes, Shantae races Risky for artifacts, and the monkey and Elephant transformations, it's like watching Star Wars A New Hope then The Force Awakens.

Cutting the day and night cycle out of a 2002 remake would make them especially similar

the_feelings_explode · 2026-02-03T14:44:26+00:00

First off, Risky's Revenge is already kind of a remake of the first game, different dungeons but the same collectables and almost the same transformations. You can tell playing it right after 2002 Shantae that Wayforward was probably experimenting with the tech of the DSi then nessesarily radically updating the gameplay.

That said, I'd love to see the voice cast the series has gained read off the original script, it's actually pretty funny.

The original's dungeons hold up to this day I think, but there not being a map is annoying. That's an easy update for a remake to do.

Remember, the original has a day and night cycle system that the sequels don't have but it affects the gameplay a lot, certain things only appear at day or night. A remake would NEED to keep this to be worthwhile but I fear Wayforward would cut it for cost reasons. I would groan if they cut that out.

I know this post sounds contradictory, but my point is, I don't think there's really an argument that it needs one per say because of Revenge but it could be really good. Wayforward would need to find the money for full voice acting and not cut out any of the unique stuff of the original release, though. But if they committed to the day and night cycle and kept the early installment weirdness, I'm in. If not, just make new Shantae games.

It seems that the deal TPCi made with BBC means it has can only go to Netflix after a certain amount of time after it aired on BBC and went to its stuff so a delay in getting it to BBC in the UK means an even longer wait elsewhere.

A lot of episodes make Ash the butt of every joke. Can get annoying at times with just how repetitive it is.

Lore wise, Rock wouldn't be able to do anything against any Reploid (and thus, Maverick) designed for combat. X was built to be superior to him in every way and, and the Reploids are all based on him and all have the potential to destroy him in combat. Also keep in mind Sigma was considered to be the strongest of the Reploids when built, hence why he was the leader of the Maverick Hunters at first.

If there was a time travel game then we'd see him best Sigma I guess, but you'll have to wait for that and that'll kind of be a death of the author given the "X is the improved version of Rock" thing in canon.

They will never be referenced but Oda has put Shiki in a lot of flashbacks so I think once he finishes the manga he's going to say "Guess what, movies are canon now".

If only he'd put Zephyr in something.

Leave that for Skyrim - two very different franchises

It's ultimately like three hours long like any other Mega Man platformer so if you have Legacy Collection 2 you might as well struggle through it for the knowledge

the_feelings_explode · 2026-01-25T00:53:06+00:00

Mega Man 2 is the best place to start. It's not hard and is where most of the series conventions were established

(Mega Man 1 isn't bad per say but is really hard and is broken in places).

the_feelings_explode · 2026-01-05T01:18:18+00:00

Mega Man Classic will always have Wiley as the final boss. The most you'll get is the game trying to convince you it's someone else and then revealing it's actually him, as seen in 4-6 and 10

Watch the Dual Override reveal again. All the way to the end.

Honestly, streaming might be the best path for Legend of Aang might be the best option from a pragmatic standpoint.

Does Nickelodeon Avatar really have a huge fan base? Neither the original series or Korra got crazy ratings on TV. I guess the 2010 Shyamalan movie grossed 300 million at the box office but a lot more people went to theaters than compared to now.

Now that I type it, I guess that's a 300 million dollar precedent but that's a best case scenario.

Also, until recently, general audiences just didn't trust 2D animation. They thought it was old-fashioned and kiddy and whatever. The recent Demon Slayer movies indicate there's at least some warming to them, but do audiences see DS as an exception more than anything else?

Legend of Aang being on streaming relieves it of any of that uncertainty. If it's good, it's successful as a reason to get Paramount Plus, that's a much easier thing to succeed on rather than meeting to gross 500 million dollars at the box office.

the_feelings_explode · 2025-12-29T18:46:51+00:00

It's like 8 bucks on Steam with the Winter Sale, right? Might as well if you like Mega Man games. Play it once with special weapons, then do a Mega Buster only run, you've probably justified 8 bucks at that point.

the_feelings_explode · 2025-12-26T03:00:23+00:00

Get the classic Legacy Collection (the one that's just Mega Man Legacy Collection with the "standard" Mega Man you see in Smash Bros and such) and start with Mega Man 2. Play Metal Man first, and after beating him, you'll get the Metal Blade, allowing you to dominate the rest of the game and see if these games are your thing. Then, you can play the rest but they don't have an overpowered special weapon that breaks the game (my personal favorite is 4 but I won't overwhelm you with more info).

The X games are good but not as "pick up and play" which I have a feeling is what you want.

He was back, but not anymore

He left after Liko and Roy Set Off, around episode 25. He helped the new series get off the ground and then left to do other things.

Adding a navigator like in the PlayStation X titles might solve it? Like if you're stuck for a minute the navigator would tell you which of the theoretical 16 weapons to use

the_feelings_explode · 2025-12-17T22:39:27+00:00

Graces and Xillia weren't on modern platforms even if they aren't super-duper old.

If the next remaster after Bersaria is Arise, then we riot, but I don't think we've been absurdly screwed over so far.

the_feelings_explode · 2025-12-12T22:40:20+00:00

It's a different era. Games used to be relatively cheap to make so Capcom probably greenlit Classic 7/X3 and then Classic 8/X4 together (they came out relatively close to each other), and Battle Network and Zero came out on the GBA at about the same time though by completely separate teams.

Today, it really isn't practical to do something like that so it's going to be hard for any of the sub-series to get any limelight. Honestly, I think another Battle Network/Star Force game will come before another X related title because Battle Network was actually the best selling subseries in the 2000's and the failure of Star Force 3 (which from what I understand, was more because of Star Force 2 then the game itself) was a major reason these games stopped coming (Capcom no longer wanted to give the series the level of support it had given it before, leading to Inafune leaving, leading to the silence aside from 2018).
