Started a new Long series a few weeks ago. Finally finished Final Fantasy, so decided to start Chrono Trigger. Here's the latest video of that series

So, I decided to start up a new series, after putting a pause on one. Super Metroid is going and I'm getting horribly lost. I do love this game though, it's so well made. There are more videos coming for this series, so please, be patient.

I didn't intend on this particular video being as long as it is, but damn this Island is difficult to get through. Even after about 3 hours of grinding, I'm still having my butt handed to me on a platter... Not to mention, there are monsters here that will definitely give people nightmares

Video Showcase / Castlevania 2 - Simons Quest to not blow a gasket

« on: March 17, 2019, 07:29:41 am »

So after a while, I have decided to start playing Castlevania 2 - Simons Quest. I heard about Arin (From Gamegrumps) hating on this game a bunch in one of their videos and I had no idea why. Starting the game, I could understand it, but I am kind of getting attached to this title. Sure, it's almost impossible to figure this stuff out without a walkthrough, but I do like it.

I have been playing video games since I was 3 years old. 30 years later, I'm still playing them, but the best game franchise I've ever had the honor of playing is still Mega Man. It is by far my favourite games to play and I even started a YouTube channel of me playing a bunch of the classic games from those days. My Mega Man Mondays is honestly the best series I have going at the moment and I'm glad it is. My plan is to play through every Mega Man game I can get my hands on

You sound a lot like me, same age & favorite franchise! the only MM series I haven't played are the Battle Network /Rockman.EXE.

Oh hell yeah, the Battle Network games are definitely on my games to play for my Mega Man Monday series. But they are very long games, so I might have other Mega Man games running between those episodes as well, maybe even two videos on Mondays' during those games.

I've never delved that far into the original Mega Man games. My first Mega Man was X on the SNES, and going back to the originals was had when I was younger since all I wanted to do was play X some more lol. Now that i'm older I have more appreciation for the originals, I just need to actually go back and play them :p

You really should give them a shot. Just know that Mega Man 1 is honestly the most difficult of them all. From 2 - 5 I've finished countless times in my life. But Mega Man 1? I've finished maybe twice. lol!

Ah Mega Man. I have the NES originals but I have been playing it on the PS4 collection.  I spent some time over a few weeks playing from MM1 to MM5 and took a break before heading into MM6.  I've never been one for collecting virtual trophies or achievements but it satisfying to see a tiny bit of recognition on my PS profile for beating MM games.  Additionally the bonus content in the first legacy collection is pretty decent although sadly the 2nd collection is very lacking.  On Legacy One Collection there is a boss run where you rush through all the robot masters from MM1-MM6 in one go.  Thats pretty awesome!

I would absolutely love to have those, but they are stupid expensive for me. I mainly want them, because the second one goes up to Mega Man 10, I believe. And then there's the Mega Man X legacy collection as well.

I really had a lot of fun with Mega Man 2, it was so challenging but so worth beating it but I can't help but wish I started with 1.  2 was the best and the others never felt as good for me.  But 2 stands as probably top 5 NES games of all time for me

Mega Man 3 was the one that started my Mega Man love. Mega Man 5 was the second game I got. I love all of them though. I loved how they introduced new concepts into each new one that came out, instead of keeping it 100% the same game over and over again.

I have been playing video games since I was 3 years old. 30 years later, I'm still playing them, but the best game franchise I've ever had the honor of playing is still Mega Man.

Welcome to the forum

@theretrovoyager


so which do you prefer? do you use the original NES and SNES Cartridges? or do you play emulation games like

"Mega Man Anniversary Collection?" (10 different Mega Man games on one disc) for Xbox? or GameCube? Or PlayStation 2?

and/or "Mega Man X Collection?" (7 more Mega Man games on another one disc compilation) for the PlayStation 2? or GameCube?

Thanks for the welcome

Honestly, I would definitely prefer using the original cartridges and CD's for the games I play. Unfortunately though, I have to use emulators for the games I play. I would love to get the Legacy Collections for Mega Man and Mega Man X, but I doubt my PC can handle those and recording them at the same time. I have a shit PC, lol!
