Mega Man 9!!

Lt Gen Oohlala reporting in for a somewhat review of Mega Man 9!!

So after i bought the stupid LAN adapter for my Wii, & it did not work when i tried. Unbeliveable. I mean, i have an ethernet cable hooked to Gladiss [Yes, my laptop has a name] right now & it completely works. For some reason, when i tried it on my Wii, it always had an error for the connection test. After about 3 hours of fiddling around with the machine, LAN adapter, & cable, i decided to steal a wireless connection.

I actually found an unprotected wireless signal & it was able to pass the connection test. ^-^.

However, i was unable to access the Wii Shoping Channel because the signal was too weak. T-T.

After drying my frustration induced tears, i tried to actually use the wireless router i have to create a wireless signal. Did not work. I could not even get Gladiss to read the signal, nor the Wii. As i was ready to throw the router against the wall, i saw the back had more ethernet ports, allowing for the router to also act as a wired router. Deciding it was worth a try, i tried it.

It worked. 0.O.

I was dumbstruck. All this hassel & tribulaitons, & something worked. As i put my pants, soiled from sheer elation, into the washer, i was thinking of what other game i should buy. Running accross the sheer distance between the washing room & my sleeping room [all 5 steps], i decided to browse the selection; after buying Mega Man 9. Looking around, i decided on Phantsy Star 2, because Wikipedia said it was considered as a classic of RPG, a class of videogames i really do love. Now, the same is said of Chrono Trigger, which i hate. Guess what my analyses of Phatasy Star 2 is.

So, after downloading them, i held my Wiimote sidewards, & started to play Mega Man 9. It felt like the freaking Odyssey to get to this point. After a cheesy intro about Dr Light being framed for the robots going loco, i started to control my little blue Mega Man onward on a quest for domination!!

By domination i mean epic failure. I suck so hard at the game i might as well be playing it with my hands cut off. I died, & died, & died. Lamesauce.

Now, to be fair, many considered the difficulty as par for the course when it comes to classic Mega Man. Or so the Happy Video Game Nerd proclaims. I however, a fan of puzzling non~quicktime RPG, found the game to be more than difficult as my fingers could not move fast enough to dodge the insane amount of enemies & obstacles [I officaly hate Concrete Man's level]. However, i did feel that the controls were very tight & most of the time i died was because of my arthrits ridden hands.

Though, i could not help to think that a few areas should be improved upon. In Tornado Man's stage, it involves a large amount of precise jumps. Now, while i sucked elephant testicles at this the first few go thrus, i soon was able to master the jumping parts after the 200th time i died. However, i would have appreciated it if instead of dying when i fell, that perchance the level could be designed where there was ground underneath, but i had to go all the way to the beginning of the jumps to try again. Dying so many times learning to do the jumps is so dishearting, i turned off my Wii in frustation quite a few times.

Another area is hit detection. While tight, i think the enemy should take damage from touching Mega Man, not just the other way around. It makes no sense. Why is it that Tornado Man or Galaxy Man can touch Mega Man & hurt him, but not the other way around? Does Mega Man have some design flaw that anything that touches him causes damage? It makes him seem like a whimp. & the spikes!! He is a freaking robot & he cannot touch spikes?? Did Dr Light make him out of some cheap ass discount metal that is so easily damaged?? Most illogical.

However, besides these minor gripes, the game was good. I have only been able to beat Galaxy Man, though i have fought Tornade Man multiple times i have not blown his ass away [that sounds so wrong]. So, later on i shall update on how the whole gaame is once/if i defeat it. ^-^.

On a special report, i have made no progress on the funkied game i talked about last report. I still cannot Up! Right! Left! Down! Chu! Chu! Chu! my way thru the idiotically funky giant robot. But i shall try!!

That is all for this report, Astrobastards!!
