MM8BDM: Mega Man 8 Expansion Public Thread

[PressStart]

X1 would be cool, although getting sprites for the stages seems like it'd be a pain (I guess stuff from Xtreme would work...maybe?!)

ANYwho though yea, I think it'd be cooler to have all of classic covered before going into X territory (although that'd probably draw in a lot more fans)

Still, I'm happy enough that we have 1-6 (and 7 now I guess!)

MMPU is not on his "list" of suggestions therefore his argument is invalid

[Gumballtoid]

perhaps PU could be mixed w/ megaman 8, considering the prospect of them being in FC?
or it could be a separate chapter entirely if mm&b has new astro and tengu stages, PU should have the PU expansion in it, just no X series, except maybe the first.

This is the MM8 expansion, not the MM8 + PU expansion. Don't get your hopes up.

Megaman X1

That won't happen. Cutman hates the X series.

[Mr. X]

Not to mention how little sense it makes.  The X series had 2 8-bit games (well, really, 4-bit ish) and their style of gameplay does not fit right in with the classic series.  If anything, you'd make Mega Man X 16 Bit Deathmatch for Mega Man X.  Of course, nobody would actually want to do that because making rotations for 16-bit Characters would be even more annoying than 8-bit rotations already are.

I find it funny how Rozark somehow managed to not list Mega Man 10.

[GameAndWatcher]

Is the "shooting part" in? If so, will it be some version of the Rage Rune?

[Mr. X]

You mean the rapid shot or whatever it was?  No, it is not in especially since Bass Buster already is a rapid-fire buster.

Mega Man 8 had 3 charge shoot upgrades Laser, Arrow and Auto Fire

The auto fire or what ever it was called was a charge shot upgrade like Laser and Arrow, which automatically fired as many shots as it could to reach the shot limit (3 or 5 with upgrade) while you charged. It could not be used with Laser or Arrow.

[Mr. X]

Ahhh, I had heard somebody ask something about rapid fire elsewhere I think.  Probably heard wrong.  It's been a while since I've played MM8.  Either way, the answer is no.

[BiscuitSlash]

I think there's one item where you fire 3 buster shots at once when you fire. If you have the 5 shot upgrade then you'll still fire 3, but you'll have 2 in reserve.

Stupid question: when will it be released?

[Kapus]

Release Date TBA later

We're going as fast as we can!

[Magnet Dood]

Are there any Rush Jet segments?
