Yay! Another vote for Megaman X 4. Great having you back bradcap1 I've missed seeing that Six Million Dollar Man avatar. seriously I need to get myself a copy of Megaman X4 , Im assuming Rockman X4 is fairly import friendly? (MM8 certainly is) Yeah, no less import friendly than Mega Man 8. You miss out on the story but X4's story is pretty light really (pretty much non-existant except for in the opening stage and the endgame), and the gameplay and interface are all very straightforward. Well worth tracking down!

I'm going with MegaMan X4 here. Mostly because it is a really nice game and I don't have the other two games. I do have Castlevania on the PS1 though and it is fantastic. Yay! Another vote for Megaman X 4. Great having you back bradcap1 I've missed seeing that Six Million Dollar Man avatar. Thanks Sych! Things have just been crazy busy. I've been having a blast coaching my son's little league baseball team and have been spending most of the free time that I have watching movies and have rediscovered my enjoyment of comics. Sonic Mania got me back into gaming again. I've been playing a lot of Sonic Jam. I beat Sonic 1 and 2 again. Now I am working on Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic CD. I never played those three games much. Just curious though, is Sonic 3D Blast worth the investment of time and money?

I never really liked 3D blast, and I really like Symphony of the Night, but Megaman X4 it's pretty much perfect in every sense, and the Saturn version is fantastic, so MMX4 gets my vote.

(MM8 certainly is) Extremley import friendly if you don't care for the story. Story is pretty good though but you could easily enjoy the game without it.

Story us pretty good though but you could easily enjoy the game without it. honestly, if the story isn't too heavy , I can just read about it online.

You can, there's not much to it, resuming it's pretty much: Sigma tries to bring the leader of the repliforce (Robot soldiers) to his side, leader refuses, Sigma then recruits a Maverick Hunter (Like X and Zero) to sabotage a space colony, killing dozens of people on earth. A colonel of the repliforce shows up on the accident site looking for his sister, X tries to bring him for questioning, he refuses and is labeled a maverick, maverick hunters start fighting with the repliforce just as sigma planned. There's a few things inbetween but it's pretty straightfoward. Great game, highly recommend it.

Capcom I guess didn't have a Europe office like they did in the US. But X3, while a decent game, is very previous gen. X4 is an all around true Saturn style upgrade and to me night and day compared to X3. MM8 is also vastly underrated IMO, has a unique style. Saturn version also has a lot of extra features over the PS1 version.

X4 is an all around true Saturn style upgrade and to me night and day compared to X3. MM8 is also vastly underrated IMO, has a unique style. Saturn version also has a lot of extra features over the PS1 version. All of the Saturn Mega Man games are pretty good, honestly, I'd agree that 8 is a bit underappreciated, although I haven't played the Saturn port yet, only played it on PS2 in the Anniversary Collection. Worst thing it has going against it is the dub in the US version, but X4's dub was dire as well and honestly I think I actually like 8's dub a lot more just because it's a lot funnier, with stuff like Dr Light being voiced by Elmer Fudd and that one scene where Mega Man screams for nearly a solid minute putting it far into the so bad it's good category. X4 is just leagues above the rest. The rest aren't bad, X4 is just that good. X3 is great too, not the best of the SNES-era Mega Man X games (100% completion is much more of a pain in the neck in this one and renders Zero almost useless since you're too scared to use him in case you lose him forever) but still got the great fast-paced action and tight controls in spades. I prefer the SNES version for the soundtrack and no loading times, but the Saturn version still does the game justice. I think it's kind of a shame that we couldn't have gotten something along the lines of the Makaimura/Ghosts n Goblins Capcom Generation compilation for all the SNES Mega Man X games as opposed to just one fairly direct port. If they were going to take the easy route and keep things near identical, including the SNES game's resolution resulting in those borders, it would of been nice to have the rest of the X games up until that point in one place to make up for the low effort porting. Could of been the Saturn equivalent of The Wily Wars.

I still read some of my old comics from time to time, mainly X-Men: Age of Apocalyspe, Generation X & Spiderman 2099. As far as I can tell, Sonic 3D Blast is a worthy investment. I only played it for about an hour. It took some getting used to the isometric controls. Visually it's actually quite beautiful.
