Marty:
Playing through Mega Man 6 reminds me how weird it is, almost as much of a sore thumb from the rest of the series as 1 is. Lots of new mechanics they tried (no Rush, real/fake Boss Gates, Energy Balancer, Jet Pack and Power Pack.) After 5 it's almost too easy.
Adr0ck:
Mega Man 1 was quite enjoyable and just about as good as I remembered. Mega Man 6 is a mixed bag for me. I consider myself a pretty seasoned gamer, and I played and beat most of these games as a kid, but the boss battles in 6 are just way too difficult, to the point that I simply give up out of frustration and boredom instead of wanting to push to beat them. I really can't wait to go through Mega Man 2 and 3 again as those are my favorites.
SpiderShan:
Not sure if I replied in time but my experience with MM 1 and MM6 is that I feel like the platforming has improved a lot over the course of the NES games. I still “died” a lot in MM6 (thank you save states!) but it didn’t feel as cheap when I did. I felt like the deaths were more my fault than a bad level design. On the other hand, I struggled more on the robot masters at the end of each stage in MM6 than MM1, even when using the “right” weapon against them. Not sure if they were just tougher or if it was just me.
Bryan:
Mega Man 6: I do not like it so much.
:grinning:
I’ve got 4-5
bosses defeated. It just doesn’t slap like MM2
does.
I’m playing on 3DS
which doesn’t have rewind. It does have save states though and I
save state sometimes after every successful enemy kill/encounter,
or at least every cleared screen.
Roll the dice for next week

(Community Questions)
Andross:
Do you prefer 2D or 3D for nintendo's other big franchises? Aka Mario, legend of Zelda, Kirby, pokemon, donkey kong, kid icarus?
If you could revive any IP from the dead and have a next gen game made using it, what would it be? And why would you pick it?
Third Strongest Mole:
Q for the show: I haven't played hardly any sega games. I see the various Sega classic collections go on sale from time to time, which one should I start with? (note: I don't really care for Sonic the hedgehog).
JasonLee:
What % of your playtime is spent on retro games? I’d say probably 15% for me. I normally have 5-6 games in my rotation but I always make sure one of them is a retro game. Currently it’s Mario’s Super Picross. I’ve gotten so much out of the NES/SNES Switch online games. I love that service. And yeah, I wish they’d add more games to it.
