Talk:Mega Man (1987 video game)

message: Keiji Inafune said in an interview that he originally planned to make Mega Man look [super deformed], but could not, due to the hardware constraints of the NES.
Anymore information on this? I've never heard of this, and I can't find anything about it. The Trigger (talk) 17:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the "E. Tank" powerup was ever in this game.  Remember this aticle is about the NES game Mega Man, not the series. — Kjammer 01:12, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

anyone think we can get this article up to FA status? --ZeWrestler  Talk 16:04, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I've reverted the intro image from the boxcover back to a picture of megaman several times. I find the cover hillarious, and I believe it deserves a place in this article (which it already has btw), but I think it's very inapplicable for the intro. The first image people should see should be what megaman actually looks like, not the way it got laughably butchered. Vicarious 05:10, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The first picture people should see is a picture of the box art, not the character - which, might I add, the article isn't about. How hilariously bad the box art is has nothing to do with it. --Shadow Hog 07:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, the picture seems so much like a prank or parody that I forgot it's the topic of the article. Vicarious 09:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: macfee is a lifesaver i almost got a virus from planet megaman that website is in the wiki site links be careful.
:The site has no virus on it.  At most, McAffee was going bonkers as it usually does and detected a virus where there isn't one.  Planet Megaman is completely safe, unless the ads tried to do something malicious. LanceHeart 18:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  VIRUS ALERT 

message: In YTMND.com I found out that part of the song is remarkably similar to that of R.E.M´s All the Right Friends. Should this be mentioned in the article or was the Mega Man version just a minor coincidence? Vic729 02:09 January 22nd, 2007 (UTC)
I heard this a while ago on MMHP. I don't think it should be in, because it's not a fact, it's more of an opinion. You could put it as speculation, but personally, I don't think it's that imprortant.

thread_title: Possible origin of the Elecman Stage Theme

message: One of the hardest NES games? Really? I beg to differ. It's not a complete cakewalk, but it's no Battletoads.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.172.169.21 (talk) 15:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Difficulty

message: I just want to say up front that this article needs some major cleanup. Not only does this needs verifiable, third-party sources, but it also needs to lose the strategy guide material — stuff you can get on StrategyWiki or GameFAQs. I will start by removing some sections which contain nothing but strategy guide material. MuZemike (talk) 18:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Strategy Guide Material

message: This is also more appropriate for this article to move down to C-Class. This article has entire sections are unreferenced as well as many sections containing little or no verifiable, third-party references. Major cleanup in the structure of the article itself is also needed. MuZemike (talk) 19:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that there was no Plot section, so I added one. It's not very good, but it's a start.--Unscented (talk) 21:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot Section 

message: I changed this back to "Changed from the original storyline" as it was before. It seems more accurate, as the section is describing how the storyline was modified, not how it was made less ambiguous.--Unscented (talk) 01:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Megaman and Megaman Powered Up Seperation

message: After trawling on the 'net for old Famitsu issues on other games, I came across this one if anyone is interested in incorporating into the article: http://www.disgruntleddesigner.com/chrisc/secret/FC__1987Q4.html#rockman . –MuZemike 20:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some coverage in ''Famitsu'' 

message: I have (after several weekends of searching) uncovered the original japanese manual of MEGA MAN, which should have the ORIGINAL BACKSTORY. For, the U.S. manual had essentially made-up everything in that backstory, which was then contradicted in later games entirely.
So, this is it -- the original backstory...
Except I CAN'T READ JAPANESE!! If anyone wants to translate it, PLEASE let me know!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.204.182.27 (talk) 21:22, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The only thing changed from the Japanese version was that Dr. Wily worked as Light's assistant whereas in the original story he's just a generic mad scientist. It may be worth putting in a footnote in the Dr. Wily article but not here. --TheHande (talk) 16:53, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original Backstory 

message: Here are some notes I jotted during my copyedit request:
*Lede doesn't accurately summarize the article, and mentions items that are not elaborated within the article. (Almost every sentence.) Plot and gameplay summary need special attention.
*Worth explaining why the game had follow-ups even though it wasn't a success
*Plot section is all backstory. Needs to include actual plot.
*How does MM "fight" through levels
*Explained how MM's health goes up but not down
*Gameplay section needs to be re-footnoted since content moved around
*first use of "standard blaster" unexplained
*"platform generator item": clarify
*I'd try to pick "level" or "stage" and stay consistent
*what is "clearing" a stage? All enemies defeated, or just finishing the stage?
*everything fallen enemies drop should be in the same sentence the first time instead of said separately
*consider merging plot and gameplay sections, if appropriate
*final boss battle not described
*is it important to mention "Inafking", the moniker? Is it important tomention Street Fighter, or is it better to explain why he was necessary to the project or why he switched?
*First two paragraphs of dev section can be restructured, but I didn't want to move things around with tenuous footnoting
*Consider converting the quote into prose
*"he is often credited for designing the hero Mega Man": needs direct citation
*who was his mentor at Capcom, responsible for the other half of MM?
*"when he joined the company" or when he joined the TEAM?
*designing/creating, check whether the word choice is intentional
*Mega Man's character development warrants its own paragraph/section
*"transformation" quote should be summarized in prose
*are "tom-pon", "chanchacorin" mentions necessary? I removed these as trivia.
*"three notes at one time": not sure what this means
*lots of sentences that need sourcing, shouldn't just be implied from surrounding footnotes
*"Critical reception for Mega Man has been favorable." can be better—how about how it's a classic or a better summarization of the paragraph?
*this section can be beefed up with more thoughts from critics and sales
*'awarded it the "Star Player" accolade after': what?
*any sentence with claims needs sources
*reconfigure beginning of legacy section into reception—legacy should be really what happened after the game's individual era was over
*where is "overseas"?
*"infamous in the gaming": infamous for what
*"concept for these designs" quote into prose
*were oil and time men the two cut from the original eight?
*"100 challenges to complete": replaces "challenges" with the kind of challenges
*four non-free images on the page, didn't check rationales, but since they each represent something reflected in the article, could be feasible
*"Inafune designed and illustrated nearly all...": bold claims need direct citations
*Too much of an emphasis throughout article on Inafune (including "Artist Keiji Inafune played a large role in the development of Mega Man." now removed). If he was very important (other than the art), explain why, and if he isn't, he should be balanced with other figures on the dev team.
*Did not copyedit or spot-check refs
