Geez, man, how late did you stay up last night? I quit at 10 to go make a baby, and you have 2 games on the list AFTER that! That's dedication.

Mega Man sucks. Wasn't even good on Nintendo.

haha I played mega this morn. Zodd and I beat RS by 11 and I played 1 game of Civ Rev; went to bed by 12. And I love me some mega man, you hater.

I shouldn't say it sucks, I only played about 20 minutes of Mega Man, like, 20 years ago. I didn't like i then, but I was like 9 or 10.

Either way, I have plenty of good stuff to occupy the time I don't have, so downloading old re-released games isn't high on the agenda. Well, that is unless they release a new version of FF7 to the marketplace, which would probably clock in at 10 GB.

Mega Man 9 isn't a re-release, it's an entirely new game made in the same style as the old games. They even added a feature that would simulate the flickering effect of the NES when there is too much stuff on the screen. How awesome is that?

I picked up the Mega Man anniversary collection on the Gamecube a couple years back, it was pretty sweet aside from the horrible button scheme. Somehow they managed to get the buttons backwards which made it hand-crampingly difficult.

Anyway, Mega Man 2 is still one of my favorite games. I still remember that Bush was the first one to beat Crash Man without any powerups, I never bothered to figure out the pattern. Also, the Quick Man stage is pure evil.

blah blah Mega Man whatever. This isn't 1985. the only relevant game from that era is Tetris (rerelease or new game whatever, its still crappy), and that game is only acceptable on a plane ride on your DS or PSP.
