Angry Teen and Her Lego Kids Steal Your Stuff - The Misadventures of Tron Bonne Review

[@amateraceon5202]

I find it ironic how the complete lack of sales and refusal to rerelease makes this game very tempting to “pirate”

They DID release this game, it's on the PlayStation store

Iirc, you CAN play your PS3 games in PS4 and 5, but you have to buy it on PS3 because it doesn't show up on PC or the later consoles, the Xbox 360 store kind of does the same thing for a few games, but those you can buy on PC

For those wondering why Servbots are the series mascot, I direct you to Minions. It’s borderline copyright infringement (in which Legends was first) 😂

If you have Battle network collection (or just wanna scour the internet) you can look up the concept art for the first few games. There's a lot of Legends looking characters in there, so it's most likely the same artist I'm guessing.

Yay! a new John video! And yes, John, our favorite useless Butler Navi is a reference to Glyde from Legends.

Well done John. Glad to see another great video completed by our king of cobs.

[@DonChalant]

This game just has a special kind of charm that you don't really see modern companies put out. I kinda miss the olden days when games were cheaper to make so you just had ton's of people's passion projects. It kinda sucks that you only really get that from indies now.

[@zephyr0902]

I haven't finished watching this one yet but I just wanted to thank you and your videos for reigniting my decades-old love for the Megaman series in general. The Legends series seems to have a lot of potential and could do with a remake rather than a port. Stranger things have happened!

[@SeraphOC]

Yknow, John's title for the review couldn't be said any better.

[@AmartharDrakestone]

I'm guessing the reason why early PS1 boxart is bad in general, was because of Sony's obsession with 3D graphics. They wouldn't shut up about it in their marketing, at least outside of Japan. It wouldn't surprise me if they mandated that 3D PS1 games had to have 3D graphics on the cover.

[@ligtningdog6399]

It wasn't just Sony, but just the general gamer mindset at the time. There was the whole case of Castlevania SotN being dumped on because it wasn't 3d like Castlevania 64.

[@AmartharDrakestone]

@@ligtningdog6399 Castlevania was a whole other can of worms. Konami even had trouble releasing the game because it was initially completely 2D. They didn't get the OK from Sony until they added at least some 3D elements (like the spinning coffin save points).

[@ZobirisMage]

"Wake up hun, KNIJohn just dropped!"

[@maskpenn9443]

It was a cute game, but I would have preferred a more traditional legends gameplay. I think this game was the reason why Tron was the face for the series, with her showing up in fighting games and such, but like you said, weird how her and the serve bots became these mascots despite the games not selling as much compared to other games.

[@jesusmedina6751]

Because they are the team rocket villains of Capcom

[@jessesutton7985]

Before this my only exposure to servbots was MvsC2, where they are, unsurprisingly, not given much characterization. I'm now convinced these are where minions came from. I vastly prefer these little guys.

[@kaidrescher6321]

15:08 DAMN RIGHT! About time somebody said it

[@kadnhart6661]

It's wild that this looks like it would conceptually be one of my favorite Gen 5 games. Especially the Servbots, the way you interact with them is like halfway between Pikmen and the Chao Garden and I LOVE that! Too bad the game looks rough as heck, I really wish the Legends series had more time to find its footing.

[@Exlayer-pk8hy]

I feel like Legends just kinda chugged on for a bit just because the employees at Capcom really love this cast of characters specifically. Also why the cast keeps showing up in Capcom's crossover titles when it would make more sense to put the battle network guys in said crossovers.

[@Nathan-rb3qp]

In fact the first assignment of most Capcom developers nowadays is to make a Servbot model from scratch to test their 3d modeling skills.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

unironically some of the best MM characters

[@ClydeJHatbird]

I don't blame them. The whole reason I bought MvC2 back in the day was because Tron was in it. I was flabbergasted at the thought of, not only did they remember Legends existed, but she was in 2D now which took effort.

[@bigcraudio3066]

Regarding the franchise low sales numbers compared to other Capcom triple AAA games of the time. Thats just how plataforming games in general perfomed (except for huge mascots like mario and sonic) this genre rarely took the world over after the ps1 generation and never sold as well as the triple A games, and thats probably why the franchise slowed down considerable after that. But, the biggest advantage that plataforming games have over other genres is the fact that they cost much less than the other genres to make, they require much smaller budgets, a much smaller team to make them, they are shorter games, usually not story heavy saving a lot in animation and voice acting, and appealing to a very large demographic, meaning that 9/10 they would pay themselves easily or hit the jackpot and bring huge returns. But since now companies are only interest in chasing huge numbers, they arent interested on making these smaller games with medium returns

[@videogamerzero1schannel]

Very good video from you! Glad to see you talk about this neat little spin off & are now realizing how much we've lost when Legends 3 was canceled plus to show off why the Bonne Family are some of the best characters in this series

I remember playing this game to death as a kid, I adored the different mix of genres they put in the same, some of the best music in gaming too. I always looked back on this game as a classic, hearing that it didn't sell well makes me understand why a physical copy is nearly a thousand bucks now... Still a great game :)

[@diostaku2]

How could I forget this wonderful game or even forget the original "Minions" which made me laugh so much at the time? ☺ Such good memories right here, definitely an underrated gem. I didn't even know it was a spin-off because I hadn't played Legends at that point, so it blew my mind to see these characters there too😵

[@wastelanderone]

The Servbots are still my favourite sidekicks/virtual pets in all of videogames. I still want some of my own.

[@robertrogers6487]

I was obsessed with this game as a kid. First game i 100%. Core memory of watching the credits roll and seeing the secondary scene...it was like 30 seconds of extra dialogue but after months of seeing the regular ending it was amazing. I still have the servbot training theme stuck in my head!

[@Acrobuster]

Love this game a lot, Servbots are goated I still quote them sometimes. A modern retake of this premise that's an open world heist, kinda GTA style thing with base building and the RPG mode explorations would be amazing probably.

[@ClydeJHatbird]

I'll forever love this game specifically because it WASN'T just more Legends. It feels like there's just enough variety here to give it depth and nothing overstays its welcome. You don't have to complete everything, making it really replayable. In fact, it's a bit more in line with traditional Mega Man in that sense, pick a stage and go. It really was a vibe that I spent hours with, and I miss games that dared to be this character focused and succeed with the charm. I struggle to think of any recent game I've played that engrossed me the way this one did.

[@toonman5099]

To answer the question from up top, I think the idea is that it's basically a "demo disc" game to help set up Legends 2, or at least get players used to the controls and new physics. Sort of like how Sonic Adventure 1 was basically a Dreamcast "demo disc" with a narrative.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

the phrase you're looking for is Tech Demo.

[@cjhedrick6418]

This was my jam growing up.

[@TheJCHarkins2]

You knoe, Capcom could make this as a pretty 3D open-ish world experience and update control schemes to more modern adaptations except also add in Hard Mode that allows the game to become a Megaman Souls-like game. Not the whole respwan thing, but dodging, mobility, and attacking when the narrow window presents itself... Or a more dynamic combat flow. Have some aide missions where you're the Bonne's also showing off they can hack it too for variety.

Them eating is probably because of how robot and organic has become all jumbled up in legend's timeline. Since the people are "Carbons" not humans. Which is why they can have robot arms and stuff, because they are just robots so advanced they are alive. So attaching a technically less advanced but stronger arm is easy enough.

I always had a soft-spot in my heart for the Servbots even before I ever played Misadventures of Tron Bonne (Legends 2 being the only Mega Man Legends game I actually played during childhood) because I always found them to be a little cute and a little charming. But finally getting around to Misadventures cemented them as one of my favorite aspects of the Mega Man universe due to how much fun personality each has. Sure, they're somewhat limited in the way PS1 games all were, but you have all these little personality quirks that come through as you interact with them: Like the #35 who likes to paint and just wants to find some stuff to doodle with. Or the #1 feeling responsible for his younger brothers while #2 looks up to and tries to emulate his older brother. Or #20 who is a psychotic piece of work hanging out in the torture room because he likes it there.

The farm missions make a _little_ sense when you take into account that Loath is (allegedly) one of the ranch's owners, making it a middle finger to him on top of a money-making scheme. ...although, Tron didn't know about this when she first planned the heist, the rumor was told to her by one of the Servbots during the briefing...
