Talk:Mega Man Powered Up

message: Do we have a 100% certainty that this release schedule will remain unchanged?  This information is purely speculation that came from an unofficial hack of a game save which simply had them listed in that order.

Note: Pictured here is the original Oil Man design, which resembled blackface, an old racial stereotype from early American cartoons (he has overly large lips and black skin akin to racist propaganda of black people), and was given the nickname "Nigger Man" on various Internet discussion groups. As such, he was recolored for the international market; however, Japan retains the original design.

This seems somewhat "crufty" and exceptionally inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Perhaps a viable insertion in wikibooks might be warranted, but certainly cannot be allowed in the course of explaining the knowledgeable qualities of a remade video game. I've also taken the initiative to clean-up and elaborate on the gameplay section. As for the images, take a trip over to Robot Master, oh in say, an hour or two to see what I'm doing with them.  -ZeroTalk 14:46, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Since the release dates are starting to take up an insane amount of space, and considering that the schedule will extend for a projected year, should the download dates be put into a separate article altogether in order to remove the unnecessary length to the article?

message: Capcom are putting up an activator for Blues, and planning to release it February 23rd. --Reploidof20xx (TALK) 01:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blues download 

message: The correct name of the game is Mega Man Powered Up. It doesn't have a colon as it's named on this Wikipedia article (See here: ). I'm going to move it maybe tomorrow. There's at least 30 articles that link to this article so it'll be a hefty job correcting every one. Just a heads up. - Throw 11:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Article needs to be moved

message: A quote from the current version's lead:
:There are actually 468 New Style stages in this mode, 13 for each difficulty (Easy, Normal, and Hard), and 39 for each character (see list of playable characters below).
I think it's a bit much to count each stage's difficulty level as a whole new stage considering the only thing that changes is the way some enemies act or react.  Same goes for saying each playable character's game should be considered a totally separate set of thirteen levels—that's like saying Super Mario Bros. 2 contains eighty levels because its twenty can be played with four characters.
