Mega Man 8 for the Sega Saturn features a few changes from the Playstation. Among those, the most interesting for me is the return of two classic Robot Masters fights. Cut Man is hidden up a ladder in the halfway stage and Wood Man is the mid-boss for Search's... level #RetroGamingshow more

this version should've been in Legacy Collection 2 as like a bonus or something

Agreed. Especially as a bonus if the emulation got weird, it would've still be so nice to have this version available.

Saturn usually always was the go to choice for multi platform gaming, notably 2D.

The Saturn seems like such a 2D powerhouse. The PSX does great, but I'm consistently blown away by these titles.

Unfortunately, it was never easily ported, not even to the Legacy Collection, which is disappointing as a fan of the games.

Yeah, it's interesting that it's the PSX version that got the modern releases. I always thought maybe they lost the work they had done for the Saturn version and then yeah, emulation could be really rough compared to Playstation.

For the life of me i will never understand why Capcom couldn't use the Saturn version of Mega Man 8 for the Legacy Collection

It's so confusing. Even if the PSX version was easier, you'd think they'd want the one with the most content and work done to it.

Saturn had better audio too.

If they ever do a Collection with spin offs for the Classic series in the future, I really hope they include the Saturn ver. of Mega Man 8 along with the rest ngl. Just like the PS1 ver. of X3 or the Saturn ver. of X4, it would be a shame to not port those games at all imo.

Agreed. I'm sad those weren't included as bonus versions at the very least. Hopefully we can get a Collection with all the odd ones like those and maybe even Wily Wars.

Am I the only one who read Cutman in the Ruby Spears voice? 😂

The cartoon voices are how I read all their voices. It's ingrained in me. Cutman has such a unique sound too, it's fun to imagine that voice.

something similar happened with castlevania:symphony of the night

Nice 👍🏿

The Sega Saturn was definitely a powerhouse console. It's a shame that the PS1 outsold them by a lot in the US 🇺🇸 except in their home country, Japan.

me pergunto por que isso ficou exclusivo e nunca foi relançado

I wonder if they lost all the work on the Saturn version or something. It's the only thing that really makes sense. That kind of preservation was really spotty back then especially for different systems.

And this + Megaman & Forte(Bass) is why Robot Masters can return and why Dual Override will feature returning Robot Masters, but it will also be the first time their weapons return as customisable chips

It would've been cool to get the Cutter or Shield here for 8, but it makes sense why we didn't. It's going to be awesome to see in Override! Hopefully we get some fun cameos.

..maybe i should have gotten the saturn version instead of the ps1 🤔

相変わらずステージ曲をボス戦としてアレンジしてるの凄いよね。アローショットだけ落下されたけど、特殊武器に有効な相手が増えたのとテングマンがトルネードホールド→テングトルネードに変更してダメージアップの威厳もあって好き。ソードマンは好きが少なくなったやる気のが出ただけ。

Dagnabbit I saw Cutman open with "Hey, Megaman!" and thought he was gonna complete it with "You're a little low on air!"

That would have been so funny! I know I read it in the cartoon voice too.
