@Zero_:  My thoughts exactly. It's too bad I don't have a 3ds yet.

Did people complain about "paying for a demo" when Dead Rising: Case Zero came out?


I'm not trying to be an ass, I seriously don't recall hearing it as much then as I am with this.

Glad the first 3DS eshop game is a Mega Man title.

That was REALLY weird. Just the whole 'help make the game' stuff.

Yes, they did.
But it was at least set in a completely unique area that wasn't in the final game and had a unique story.

I have no idea if that's the case with this as well.. I don't even understand what I just watched.

Anyone who calls case zero a glorified demo is an idiot. It's probably the best value game on XBLA.

does anyone else feel their should be a reverse mega man game? where you design boss robots and lesser minions to battle with an powerful hero? making the levels and enemies in them to try and stop him. could be kinda little big planet too where people can play the levels and enemies you make.

maybe im just crazie lol

Even though this looks quite bizarre and lame, it will probably be the only good e'shop product, well ever.

So the thing about this demo thing is that you have to pay for it because they need those funds to finish development of the game. This is straight up shareware right here.

Why, you ask?

Because Capcom won't fund this game since Inafune left the company. This is a labor of love on the part of the developers and it is up to us to give them all the money they need.

Because the world deserves Mega Man Legends 3. YOU HEAR THAT CAPCOM.

I don't like these announcements done in a form other than a written paragraph that is read aloud to me.

Fuck yeah. I actually liked both of them. Definitely my favorite mega man games apart from the main series. "
I liked the second one, never played the first one. It was alright, pretty fun. Its main problem were some camera/control issues that could probably easily be ironed out with todays controllers.

Problem is, the 3DS doesn't have the buttons of todays consoles so those problems might still persist. This makes me sad. I'm still pretty hopeful though.

I love how they get around calling it a beta so they can sell it. 

"take your ideas to the dev room" meaning tell us where we fucked up.  hmmmm.

Edit: so they havent really developed anything for a final product? Just this faux testing thing?  Farming ideas from the community isnt necessarily something I'm against, but it does seem inherently lazy.  Weird little project here.

This is the first thing I've seen that has made me want a 3DS.  Maybe not entirely, but at least somewhat, which is a hell of a lot more than anything else to this point.

I have a special place in my heart for Mega Man.  I was practically teary eyed with memories when I first booted up Mega Man 9.  I will play this, I just hope that I like it.

Is there even an exact date yet for this dumb eshop?
My Gameboy can only handle so much Street Fighter IV.

" Why does this count as a full game? Shouldn't it be considered a beta or something? I don't see Metroid Prime: Hunters: First Hunt in the database. "
First Hunt was a free pack-in, while this is actually a digital item for purchase. It's about as legitimate as Case Zero/West.

Considering what it is, it should be priced no more than $2.

I don't get how the name Barrett fit in the music theme from the Rockman series.  And since it's download, I won't be able to get since my DS never seems to want to get anything online.
