Nyko Wing hands-on: we still suck at Mega Man

We just never got the hang of that little blue robotic man, with his arm-blaster and his wall jumping and his awesome friends, and the Nyko Wing helped none at all: we managed to kill they guy about five seconds after picking up the controller. Still, it's a nice little chunk of plastic. It's much more natural in the hand than that funky Classic Controller, and seems rather high-quality for a Nyko product, but the d-pad is too mushy for our taste, and the whole assembly seems a tad too light. Either way, we're sticking with Mario.

90% of gamers suck at Megaman....it be hard. :P

[EmoChicksAreHot.....Seriously @ Sep 18th 2008 10:41PM]

Dude,I love me some Rockman.

I'm in that sacred 10%.

[CosterMonger @ Sep 19th 2008 10:56AM]

Megaman 2 is the easiest of the franchise... well 8 is probably easier; but if you can't beat MM2 then you shouldn't refer to yourself a gamer.

Mushy D-Pad = Worthless Product

[Aguiluz @ Sep 18th 2008 9:35PM]

I somewhat agree.

A D-Pad that is waaay too mushy is bad. I have a PSP1000. It was mushy and was undesirable.

A D-Pad that is waaay too unmushy is also bad. It makes my thumbs sore.

[mapi @ Sep 18th 2008 9:50PM]

Since when? The SNES controller's D-pad was quite mushy.
Was it worthless?

[Kamokazi @ Sep 18th 2008 9:31PM]

This is what I've been waiting for. A real wireless controller that does not use the Gamecube ports. When, where, and how much?

[BB Sting @ Sep 18th 2008 9:46PM]

[b] can't stand mega man! [/b] The in-ability to shoot in any direction besides straight is simply unforgivable! [/b]

[Vegetable @ Sep 18th 2008 9:47PM]

Straight is not a direction.

[uShak @ Sep 18th 2008 10:54PM]

In a 2D videogame, 'straight' is a pretty universal term given the linear nature of the game.

[CosterMonger @ Sep 19th 2008 11:01AM]

ahh, the old battle between Metroid and and MegaMan.
criticizing MegaMan because you only shoot in one direct with the buster? that's like criticizing Bionic Commando because you can't jump

[Ray @ Sep 20th 2008 2:14PM]

I'd always kill Metalman first, his sawblades go every direction.

[jodosh @ Sep 18th 2008 10:00PM]

Man I can't wait for my next extended weekend. I make a habbit of busting out MM1-7 at least once a year to remember my childhood.

[Pheonix333 @ Sep 18th 2008 10:13PM]

Mega man 3 was awesome. By far it had the best soundtrack for a game back then. It was extremely hard though.

[themovielife @ Sep 18th 2008 10:25PM]

What does the controller have to do with mega man, or being bad at it for that matter? Since it got brought up, I would have to say that the mega man series is relatively easy to control.

[ultragoregrind @ Sep 18th 2008 10:54PM]

megaman = pain.

sweet, sweet, wonderful pain...

[Aidan @ Sep 18th 2008 10:59PM]

I don't want to be THAT guy, but I know I will but the "they" in "we managed to kill they guy about five seconds after picking up the controller." is killing me on the inside. Killing me even more than you probably killed Mega Man. . . . . . . maybe not. I'm not sure how many times you killed that guy but it's all good.

[BowserUSC @ Sep 19th 2008 12:22AM]

You weren't able to dominate in Megaman? You're such a loser.

[CosterMonger @ Sep 19th 2008 10:54AM]

it is only hard if you use topspin

[captain underpants and the bringdown gang @ Sep 19th 2008 4:01PM]

holy wii-fi'ed PS2 controller batman!
