Game Forum / Nintendo / GameCube / June 2004Don't buy Mega Man Anniversary Collection!!
Goddamn Capcom! The controls are backwards, and you can't change them. In all the Mega Man games, B is fire and A is jump (left button fires, right button jumps), but in the Gamecube collection, it's reversed. And even in games that had config options, like Mega Man 8, those options are gone. f.cking Capcom. Oh--and the sound's a bit wonky, too. And I noticed a couple graphical glitches even in the short time I _tried_ to play with the f.cking backwards controls. Minor things, though, compared to their big f.ck-up. >Goddamn Capcom!

Minor things, though, compared to their big f.ck-up. I was a little annoyed by the controls too but after playing through Mega Man 1 I didn't even notice anymore. It's pretty silly that they switched the controls in the first place AND don't give you the option to switch it but I wouldn't recommend the game any less because of it.

I've been playing Mega Man for 15 years, and shooting with my index finger and jumping with my middle finger is completely ingrained in my muscle memory. I can play the game with the backwards buttons--until I get to a boss. Then instinct takes over and I get my a.s kicked because I can't jump in time. Another annoying thing is this: the game is programmed not to accept other controllers! I went and bought a programmable controller, and the f.cking game won't use it! I tried some Playstation controllers, through a converter--no dice. My friend bought the PS2 version of the game, and it's the same way. You can't use a Dual Shock 1, which he wanted to use because it has digital, not analog buttons. Nope. You have to use a Dual Shock 2. Capcom can kiss my a.s. > "Kevin Sullivan" <kevin@beestung.netHERWORLD> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > it has digital, not analog buttons. Nope.

I've only used my thumbs for Mega Man games, except for the MMX series, where you have to dash-wall-jump and keep your X-buster charged at the same time. > > "Kevin Sullivan" <kevin@beestung.netHERWORLD> wrote in message > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > for Mega Man games, except for the MMX series, where you have to dash-wall-jump > and keep your X-buster charged at the same time. I use my thumbs as well but still.. couldn't they have kept the setup the same as the original games? Why change it when there is no necessity too? Still I don't think I'd not get this for that one reason. Which games are in the Gameboy version?

If you played much Mega Man before, you might find it harder than you think to adjust. And, by the way, the PS2 version's controls are not backwards; they're sideways. If you have a PS2, they're way easier to adjust to than the exactly-backwards Gamecube controls. The Game Boy version is a compilation of the Game Boy Mega Man games, I think. It's not out 'till September. > Index and middle finger? Maybe that's your problem.

I can use my thumb--I do for most games, but it's way harder in Mega Man. Some games practically require finger control (Street Fighter is another one). I'm through with this game anyway. I have every game on the disc except Power Fighters, anyway. I was only buying it for that game, and to "authorize" my illegal copy of Power Battles, as well as the better picture clarity that new consoles can dish out. >"Kevin Sullivan" <kevin@beestung.netHERWORLD> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >backwards buttons--until I get to a boss.

The thing that really pisses me off is that the GameCube version for whatever reason doesn't have all the remixed music that the PS2 version has in Navi Mode. I bought the GC version because it has faster loading times but if I knew they had left out the new music I would've bought the PS2 version... Why do developers have to pull stupid crap like that? What possible reason could there be for the GC not to get the remixed music? >> "Kevin Sullivan" <kevin@beestung.netHERWORLD> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Why do developers have to pull stupid crap like that?

I loved MegaMan on the NES.

But I doubt it--I'm more inclined to think that leaving it out is just another mistake in this shoddy job. > "Kevin Sullivan" <kevin@beestung.netHERWORLD> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > the backwards buttons--until I get to a boss. Then instinct takes > over and I get my a.s kicked because I can't jump in time. Me too. I just use my thumb for both buttons, but this was an awful move on Capcom's part. My guess is that someone saw the big "A" button on the Gamecube controller and miscalculated. They figured the most important function in Megaman was shooting, so it didn't matter that they were reversing things. The problem (besides the even more central fact that it's backwards from what we're used to) is that shooting is NOT the most important thing in Megaman anyway - far and away, jumping is more essential. IGN managed to do their usual drawn-out review (though only 2 pages this time! granted, all the games had been released already, and they had nothing to say, but limiting their blathering to 2 pages is a major triumph) without mentioning the button issue at all. EGM didn't mention it either. I wish one of them had; it'd have made me reconsider getting the GCN version. Gamespot sort of poked at it, but only near the end as an aside. But to be fair, I already figured I was buying the GCN version, so I'd have only paid attention if it was pulled out as a major issue - though to be fair to ME, it IS a major issue and is the first thing I'd mention in any review. SignatureYou just faced down the SEVERE SEVERE SILVERGUN !!!!! posted by SEVERE SILVERGUN They also skipped out on 480p support. Shoot them an e-mail about this. I would be interested in what they have to say. HDTV games lists and discussions http://www.hdtvarcade.com > Goddamn Capcom! The controls are backwards, and you can't change them.
