Mega Man 8, known as Rockman 8 in Japan, has been released earlier today on the Japanese PSN as a PlayStation Classic.
KeenGamer: "Once upon a time, Mega Man fans near-unanimously agreed that Mega Man 8 was the worst classic Mega Man game. In recent years, however, that attitude largely flipped around. Now people agree that 8 is pretty decent - if not straight-up good. How did this negative reputation exist in the first place?"
Jump jump slide slide rings a bell and Dr WahWee rings another bell shitty voice acting as well. I still have the game on my Sega Saturn I play it from time to time.

I don't know. I actually loved the bad voice acting in the game. It's awesomely bad to me. The VA for Dr. Light is the best. Lmao
"You must wetweeve all dee energy sworces immediately, W-Mega Man!"
Capcom literally hired interns to do the VAs. Lol.
Exactly. Here we have one of the brightest minds in robotics and he talks like that. He calls his rival Dr. Wawii instead of Wiley.
The December Mega Man game delistings will only apply to Japanese copies of Mega Man 8, X4, X5, and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne
"If you've been playing Mega Man for as long as I have, it's obvious that Mega Man 7 and Mega Man 8 are the stand-out titles in the original series. However, that isn't necessarily a good thing so let's take an in-depth look at these 2 underappreciated games." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Big fan of 7. MM8 is comedy gold as the voice actor for Dr. Light had a speech impediment resulted in weird pronunciations of names and words in general. Dr. WaWii instead of Dr. Wily for instance is my personal favorite.
I just looked up some clips from MM8 based on your post, that was absolutely amazing!
It was awesomely bad. Part of be wishes they had brought back that actor for 11. lol
Yes, the voices in those anime cutscenes are so bad that they're good :D
I’m still disappointed that MM10 didn’t use the artstyle of MM8. MM9 was excusable but the second time they wanted to retro they should’ve went with the best artstyle of the franchise rather than go 8 bit again
It was probably much cheaper to do 8-bit visuals. You don't really see many games with amazing pixel-perfect 2D graphics like in Symphony of the Night, etc, nowadays.
Yeah it was cheaper but it’s not like the devs of that game were strapped for cash. Would’ve been great to see Capcom not aim for NES graphics again
Exactly. Unfortunately, cheaper is always the better option in most game developers' eyes this day and age. That's what makes developers like Hideo Kojima stand out as true visionaries as they put time and money in the back seat and focus on quality and originality above all else.
Hello. Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that you can vote on your favourite of the two games at the bottom of the article (like with all of our Versus pieces).
Mega Man 7 has one of my favorite MM soundtracks. I would make up lyrics to each track while playing it back in the day. lol. https://youtu.be/OGuH5VUFKh...
