I just want to tell you guys that as a lonely, fourty year old dude, you are like friends for me though you don't even know me. I love videogames, would love to hang with my friends if I had any who still wanted to do that but as I don't have those, I watch this show and I have hope that people like you still exist.
I have my friends my age and NONE of them play videogames!!! Im like what the f!!!
We've made a life of it...
Wtf???? 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a lonely world out there stay strong
As a 42-year-old, this is some sad shit to read. I don't know your situation, but I don't have "friends" to hangout and play games with. Instead, I've got kids, a wife, and an unrelenting amount of work to contend with.
I wish I had friends I could BS with, too, if I had free time, but I don't think that's how it goes for most folks with those kinds of responsibilities.
Rob imitating the mega man 8 voice…. I’m dead 😂
Legit had to pause the video because I couldn't stop laughing!
7:00 the moment
Rob: I don't like megaman battle network
Me: Straight to jail
Yea i love thos games but i get why he doesn't. Their for da RPG gamers.
Do not pass GO, do not collect $200
“Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!” Haunts the dreams of many a mega man fan…
Love the passion Rob man! 😁
I love 8, but I literally couldn’t get past the snow boarding level at Wiley’s Castle
Grr. I hated that about Mega Man 8. And I didn't play it until the Legacy Collection. It's still brutal!!!!
If they wanted to up the difficulty they would have taken out the jump/slide alert (and let you appreciate the music on the level)
I'm such a weeb that I played the Japanese version of Megaman 8. Funny enough, I loved that aspect of the game. Guess that makes me a bad person.
I just love the vibe of your channel.
Most gaming channels these days always approach topics with a general cynicism.
You on the other hand always stay positive even on the subject of games you don't like.
Couldn't agree more!
Mega Man 8 was my first MM game. Love it to this day, childhood right there.
Gotta love some of the techno-elevator spa tunes. :P Weird soundtrack and a complete departure compared 1-6.
X7 is easily the worst MM game ever made. X6 was rushed and sloppy, MM5 & 6 were just straight up bland and 10 is probably the most disappointing sequel after coming from something so incredible, ala' MM9, which is easily top-tier in classic series.
2, 1, 9, even 7, maybe 11, X, X2 & X4 take the cake for me.
My first mega man game was mega man 2 we rented it at blockbuster the first time I played it back in 1989
@@BoboBreez Mega Man 2 is my favorite! Followed closely by 3. 8 and X5 were my childhood (amazing soundtracks)
I always find it odd in a game where storytelling isn't the biggest focus that people purely dislike it because of its voice acting. The snowboard sections are admittedly annoying and I muted the game for that but I think 8 has some really interesting level design and good boss fights.
Same. I borrowed 8 from a friend, then got Legends then Battle Network 3 and the Anniversary Collection on GameCube
We did an interview with Ruth Jarman, the voice actress for Mega Man in MM8 (and X in X4) and it was really insightful. The qualification to be on the game was to speak English and be in Japan. There was no direction at all, no context or name pronunciations, the scripts still said Rockman, explaining why Light stumbles in that one scene, and the list goes on. It's oretty fascinating stuff just knowing what went on behind the scenes.
As for Battle Network, the Legacy Collection has really done a lot of good. I never played the original releases, but the LC allows you to basically skip the random encounters. The first game is kinda rough, but they get pretty darn fun.
As for beating X7, would you consider doing Rookie Hunter Mode in the X Legacy Collection, just to get through it and move onto X8? I'd hate for a new game to finally come out and for you be stuck unable to play it.
Thanks for the video, guys! Always a good time!
Man, i just skipped it
He barely caught himself from saying "Walkman"
It's great to see friends who enjoy and talk about video games after decades. A lot of my close friends stopped playing games once they got married. It's always a treat to see the both of you in a video.
Jump jump, slide slide, Rage Quit Rage Quit
Lol I remember raging at that part sooo many times! It was actually my first MegaMan game! The soundtrack and the cutscenes/ voice acting are all so nostalgic tho!
Mega Man 3?
Mega Man 8 is the most underrated installment
@@Anonymous-oh4xwthe best one in the series you mean
@@jayt2917 I like Mega Man 3 I just thought the commenter was talking about the Mega Man 3 since this game introduced the slide.
Love both of you guys. Found your channel in a dark time and it was like hanging out with friends. I can't thank you enough Johnny, Rob, Kim, Andrew and even Swagger. I'm doing a lot better now and you're all a part of that.
Man I needed this video today. Rob and megaman talk. You just can't beat it. You and Rob talking about a series is just the best
Man, I can’t tell you how awesome this video was! The dynamic between you guys is just awesome. You can literally see the decades of friendship and the stories you guys told added so much depth. These are the type of friendships we should all be striving to find. And of course, Mega Man 🤘
X7 is the game I used to hate, but when I was 16-17 I made the choice to only have my PS2 and a copy or X7 with me for a week. I sat down with it being the ONLY video game I could play during that time (and in the summer with no part time job no less), and sat there speed running it over and over and over again. Eventually got to the point where I memorized where all the reploids were, learned to exploit all the bosses, and ran through the game as each character multiple times. By the end of it all, I appreciated the game a lot more, and learned to love it for what it was lol. When X legacy collection 2 came out MANY years later, I found I still liked it! So yeah, there’s a reason I’m listed as one of the first people to earn a platinum in it on PSN lol. Because I’m that crazy guy who likes X7 (and 5, 6 and 8) enough to 100% within a few days of the games release
I haven't watched you guys in like 7 years and you two haven't aged a day! Keep up the awesome vids! Feels good to hear you geek out again :3
Super Mary-o Bros. Haha! The editing was great on this one as well!
One thing I’ll give Battle Network is it lets you move around during battles. Almost no other RPG does that, you just randomly “dodge” attacks sometimes. That real-time element gave BN a big strategic edge. That said… the games getting better as they added new tricks and cleaned up the formula means they get worse the further backwards you go. Except 4. That one’s just cruel.
The less said about Battle Chip Challenge, the better. I beat that stupid game way back and man was it terrible.
There are actually a lot of RPGs that let you move around during battles. The Evolution series, the Xenoblade Chronicles series, the Grandia series, Dragon Force, Chocobo's Dungeon... not to mention every single Tactical RPG and Action RPG ever made. Thousands of options.
@@zippydastrange You misread. He said "Almost no other RPG does that", not "Almost no other member of a sub vein or sub class of turn based RPGs does that" - and if he had said the latter, rather than making his statement correct, it would merely make it arbitrary and meaningless. And I did not mention only action RPGs.
I find it hard to see how you could possibly classify Battle Network as a turn-based RPG, especially if you're going to classify Xenoblade Chronicles as an action game. Every one of the few turn-based elements in Battle Network is also turn-based in Xenoblade, and many of the elements which are action-based in Battle Network are turn-based in Xenoblade.
Wow, seeing you 2 back for a video really made me happy :)
Bless you, John. I loved the interview you did with your Mum in a previous video. Sending you love and prayers from the UK x
The super combo of the channel returns! Johnny + Rob are awesome.
I loved this video. If it makes Rob feel any better, a lot of English dubs for anime in the 80s and 90s had bad voice acting.
They didn’t care
Pretty sure they lived through that era. They know.
Or the dubs for the old Godzilla movies ha ha.
I love when you two make videos together! I grew up on Battle Network, love the series, but I totally respect Rob's opinion, def not for everyone. Part of the reason I came to appreciate the classic series an all of the other spin-offs in because of Rob's passion for the franchise that came out through your videos back in the day. Can't thank you guys enough for sharing your love for games!
I didn't know about megaman until battle network, so for a while I thought that was the main series. I've played the classics since and I definitely appreciate them.
I grew up on the classics and was skeptical of Battle Network until I received 3 Blue for Christmas one year and was immediately enamored. It was a brilliantly executed experience. It’s my favorite Mega Man spin-off.
Loved watching & listening to your old throwback stories about these games. I used to play video games with the same group of friends throughout high school & university and they've long since moved on from the hobby and lost touch with each other. I always enjoy these types of videos with your old friends the most.
Been waiting for this since Rob's videos reviewing and going over the Series as a whole.
I love the Rob Man videos! Rob and Kim bring a lot to this show. I spent my childhood playing video games with my uncle and my friends so having 2 people talking about games they love (and hate in this case XD) has somthing magical about it.
Oh man, I can remember bringing home Mega Man 8 and having the same feelings. LOL. Great video as always! And thanks for finally not making the Rob Man sit on a small box. haha
Me too, man. When Dr. Light's voice chimed-in during the opening I thought to myself, "geez, now Barbra Walter's English teacher is the voice actor for one of the most iconic characters in video game history." Walawala walshington!
So I'm 28. Didn't have a lot of classic MegaMan games growing up. The three I did have?
MegaMan 8, MegaMan X7 and MegaMan Legends. I always thought I was nuts so thank you Rob for making me feel less crazy 😂
Another great video, Johnny! I always enjoy your sunny disposition and reminiscing about retro games. I'm about 10 years younger than you (born 1983), but I have a long memory of the NES era in the 1980s, and the 1990s was even more memorable with the SNES/Genesis, N64/PS1, etc.
When Rob mentioned the Mega Man Anniversary Collection on the GameCube, I KNEW right away he was gonna talk about the button map! I remember when I bought that in 2006 (?), and tried to play the games, I was PISSED that you couldn't change the button map! I still play the original Mega Man games to this day on my NES and Switch, so my muscle memory of the A/B buttons is firmly planted!
I also owned a Game Boy Advance, but never picked up any of the Battle Network games, but they always intrigued me.
Keep it up, dude! Love your content!
Haha, Rob's imitation of Mega Man 8's voice is spot on. Great vid Robert and Jogn! (:
Great vid Rob/Johnny. Always fun. I remember being so smitten by the FMV and 32 graphics in MM8 that the voices didn't even bother me (I was still getting over the fact that Starfox 64 even had voice acting to begin with lol). I still think MM4 and MM8 are two of my favorites in the series (which is def not a majority opinion). It was also fun looking for the 40 hidden bolts to use as currency to buy upgrades. MM8 and Symphony of the Night to me were rare 2D gems in a sea of blocky first-gen polygon games.
Love Hearing Rob talk about mega man! The Megaman Then to now video being one of my personal favorites! If he’s ever played them I hope to hear his opinions on the zero and Zx games someday!
Just wanted to drop by and say, "hi" and thank you for making such incredible videos. I can't tell you how much I look forward to these!
Great to have Rob again, hahaha it was a great episode :)
Great video guys! Love seeing you two together!
Love these videos it almost always feels like I was there when you guys tell stories lol
Always an absolute pleasure to see Rob and Johnny together!
Some of my favourite videos have been Robs Megaman reviews. Great to see another!
You guys have the best chemistry and humor 🙂
Awesome video !!!! Also great information. I've known about Megaman for a very long time and I recently decided to start exploring the library. Now I know which games I can skip. Much 🤘 from Ontario 🇨🇦
good to see Rob back! Bring him back more often
Man, your stories remind me of growing up with my video game bud. Beers, fresh pack of smokes, and newly rented game from Blockbuster for the weekend. The rituals before starting the game night. Having some good munchies, Z95.3FM, and when the late night giggles started, that was the best.
I will never forget how disappointed i was when I got the MM Aniversary Collection on GameCube. Not only that they got the buttons mapped backwards which rendered the game Unplayable for a Vet of the series but the fact that you couldn't change the button mapping in the options was mind blowing. True Disappointment. You weren't the only one.
How they messed that up is beyond me!! Like nobody mentioned it during play testing or development? Lol
They got it right on the PS2, tho.
MM2 is not only one of the best NES games of all time, but the OST is top 5 🐐
Masterbootrecord's cover of the Dr Wily stage music is just *chef's kiss
Mega-MAN? More like Mega-Prepubescent-Boy!
That voice is crayyyyy 🤯
Yeah that was wild lol
Mega Man was always supposed to be a 10-yo boy, but his voice in 8, though???
Great to see Rob I really believe he's still such a sharp mind in gaming as a new fan learning your channel happy console gamer
Love listening to you talk about the ceremony for mega man 8. Gaming is so great!
This is one of the best and funniest episode ever 😂 I laughed my ass off, Rob is amazing and great person.
Fluid like liquid water always gets me haha! Jump jump slide slide forever guys! Great editing by the way!
Granted Battlenetwork 1 is the first RPG Battlenetwork game so it’s rough and that elecman stage was… something. Battlenetwork is still my favourite Megaman series though
I'm glad the Battle Network collection has the Buster Max Mode. It makes the first game more bearable.
There's a hacked version of the anniversary collection out there that fixes the button layout thankfully. Emulation works too of course, but yeah that stupid button layout infuriated me as well.
I had no idea those Mega Man 8 voices were so bad, lol. It's so funny you guys are putting this video out because just a couple days ago I watched Rob's original review of the Mega Man series.
Also that edit saying "Super Mary-o Brothers" 🤣
Great to see rob again!
The comedic timing with the editing is killer johnny boy
Here I am waiting for the battle network collection to go on a decent sale to snatch them up 😂
Good to see another Robman vid.
Cool sponsor! And great vid! 😊
Rob you have to give Battle Network another honest shot! 1 is pretty bare bones but every game after it improved and added more and more unique elements and power ups. And fixed the awful world layouts compared to the first one.2 adds elemental style changes and by 4 megaman was completely changing his look to look like the bosses and get their powers. It's probably my second favorite Mega Man series.
The elemental armor sucked though, very bland.
And though the styles in 3 were better, they were still confining and strategically not great (though I played against my brother so that actually mattered more)
4's overall layout of needing to be beaten three times might be off putting to some people.
But it's still my absolute favorite Megaman series.
To be fair what he describing it he just doesn’t like it the collecting and using the battle chips in general so it’s kinda gonna suck if you treat it like an og mega man game.
Always love seeing an episode with Rob! The ps2 megaman rant was hilarious. I recommend trying out Granblue Fantasy Relink, I think you both would love it 😊 I just started it and love it so far!
This is the laugh i was looking for this morning. Bravo, sirs. Thank you for much needed laughs when talking about the jank PSX era of voice acting
Sitting in a traffic jam watching. Rob and Johnny I love you guys😊
"The graphics are fluid like liquid water!" Lmfao Ahh Rob hahaha. You two together is always a treat!! Stay classy guys!
The passion is real! 🤣 Love to the Rob Man!
I love watching your channel its so well done. I bought a Happy Console Gamer shirt recently!
I am a huge gamer I have a lot of game collections. None of my friends or my brother play video games anymore they all phased out.
I've been friends with my roommate for almost 10 years now and watching you guys, how you bounce off each-other and how you have all these stories and memories of playing games together makes me hope that he and I stay friends for as long, to have so many good times to look back on and enjoy together sounds amazing.
Thanks lads this video cheered me right up 😅
Love you guys, your like the two Ronnie's of the gaming world.
Robman is such a greta guy and all the episooodes with him are a joy! Please Robman return with your ytb content
Gotta be real, I’m kind of having a crap day but hearing you guys made me chuckle. Despite the harm done to Rob’s mental health, thanks for this episode!
Yaaa, they’re back! Thanks John and Rob.
Always love the Mega Man videos
When Rob compared Battle Network to Pokemon in a bad way, it made me want to try those games even more 😅
It's technically more of a card collector RPG game rather than a creature collector RPG, so the Pokemon/Digimon analogy isn't entirely accurate. I agree that the first game is a bit unbalanced and that the second game is noticeably better from what I remember.
@@TheBlackSeraph I look forward to trying them!
Mega man 8 was the 2nd mega man game I bought and I love how cheesy it was! “I’m clown man!!!” lol 😂
I remember when X7 came out. At the time I was lucky to find one copy at any store near me, and was the only copy I ever saw of the game in any of the stores near me. Weird of how X5, X6, and X8 were easier to find than X7. I'd say that X7 is probably the only one I didn't beat as many times as the others.
This was great! I laughed so hard.
Robman episode are always a show to watch.
Awesome video guys 😎!
Hi Rob it's good to see you again😊
Rob your story gave me force unleashed 2 flashbacks I was so excited like yourself even got my friend at future shop to score me an early copy then I played it and my heart broke lol
Good to see you again Rob Man! Keep Rock Man alive ;)
Super Mary-o Brothers got me good 😂
And that's how Rob lose he's hair.😂
Love the teasing on jump/jump/slide/slide 😅
But yeah, there's something uniquely terrifying about playing a game in one of your favorite series that's *really bad*. You just have to hope with all your might that it isn't going to be the direction the series starts going in...
For me, that was Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee. As someone who grew up every game in the series starting with Red/Blue, it was kind of maddening to have them completely discard the whole "you have to weaken them before you can catch them" rule and also reward your party experience for that (the player tossing a curveball at a pidgey made the party learn how to battle better?) That said, I do think this one in particular was made for elementary school kids as the target audience, so it's hard to say as a grown adult that it's a bad game. I just hated the idea that the next games could follow in that direction. Would've been an absolute nightmare.
So, about the Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!, I learned that the timing for it depends on which half of the screen you are on:
Right half: You will need to react to it as soon as you hear the instruction the first time.
Left half: You will need to react to it either after you hear it the first time (if you are close to the middle) or a little later (if you are further to the left)
MegaphilX made a video about it that shows it better.
Man in high school my friends and I would have tournaments at lunch time for Megaman Battle Network 3 good times thank you for unlocking that memory Johnny and Rob.
Even if ROBMAN doesn't show up again in 2024 we have everything we need from him this year lol. I can't believe YOU Johnny didn't laugh out loud when he said Beautiful ROBMAN humor right there LOL. Thanks ROBMAN and Johnny both of you have a GREAT 2024 and HAPPY NEW YEAR :).
I love when you and Rob are on camera together
I had played Metroid Prime right before Mega Man Anniversary Collection on GameCube, so the B = Jump, A = Shoot thing felt just fine for me.
Loved hearing about the rituals lol
Ugh, I remember really trying to like Mega Man x7 anyone play long enough to remember the games save system? “Would you like to save? (Yes) “Are you sure you really want to save?”
Mega Man episodes with Rob have to be my favorites.
Man that helped me ,hahaha!!! I loved all the cheezy goodness!!!!
Great vid, but I was hoping to see the MS Dos Mega Man games on the list :P
First, Rob's shirt is....just awesome! Second, I can relate with Mega Man 8. Third, wow, the whole B A swap is just annoying...lol.
Congrats on the Persona sponsorship Johnny!
*"What are we fighting for.....?!?"* 😏😂
Helllllooo rob it’s always the best with him we love rob❤
Love the show and the Megaman shirt🔥🔥🔥 I have it in baby blue💯
Man I love Megaman 8!!! The music is great. You guys are playing one of my favorite music tracks, the opening stage!!!
Yippee! I am one of the 40 first commentators! Nice video, as always. You MEGAloMANiacs😊 The buttons: B is Before, and A means After
First time viewer. Interesting to see 2 gamers closer to my age. I might be a bit older as I was gaming before the NES even released. Breath of fresh air to hear an opinion from gamers who played the game in question in the same decade of release. Tired of hearing from safe space gamers born in the 2000's, telling me why the old games are over rated.
Also a huge Mega Man fan. Completely agree with the voice acting in 8. I also don't care for the Battle Circuit games and I would add the Zero series to the list as well. I have the remakes on PS4 (except Battle Circuit).
I thought you'd mention X6 as a lot of people I know really hate that game but I didn't think it was too bad. I also don't like playing games out of order and so after beating X6, I thought that maybe the reviews were too harsh and there would be some fun to be had.
A Mega Man fan would know that older releases of MM10 have a trophy (or achievement) that asks you to beat the game without taking a hit. I did this for both my Xbox and PS3. For me to not even want to touch X7 ever again might help any reader understand how I feel about this game. I hate X7 so much that I am not going to bother with platinum trophy like I did with the other game collections.
What might be controversial is that I feel the same way about Mega Man Legends. I do not care for it.
Spot on on the Mega Man 8 voice!!! Still to this day I laugh as well!!
Hahahah.That was amazing guys. Thanks a bunch.
