I'm working hard to get where I can have these out more frequently. I'm still not there yet though. They just take so much time to do. That said, there will be two videos next week because the next two games are short

[@jeremyphillips3087]

You know what else is short?

Yes 2 vid week

Just realized that with a steady Friday release schedule, this series is gonna take over 5 years to complete.

[@LudaChez]

LoL, the way comments show up yours is first and then below is a comment from Thab explaining that he's going to start releasing more than one a week (next week 2 for sure cause they are short) but he plans on trying to release them more often. So hey we all win!

[@stich21]

@@LudaChez pretty sure I asked him more more frequent uploads because of this a couple months ago. You're welcome lol.

Luckily this series is really popular, so there’s a good chance that he’ll focus more time on it.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

[@TeenieTinyTina]

It’s actually refreshing to watch someone play these games who doesn’t know every single little thing about it. As someone who is familiar with a decent amount of N64 games from my childhood, I love watching someone revisit them with little to know knowledge of them and have them experience them for the first time.

[@bmo1878]

This was one of my absolute favorites for the 64, it was a really underrated game.

[@inthefade]

I've always heard so much awful about it that this looks pretty dang good. But also, my perspective on what makes an awful N64 game has changed since watching this series.

[@Haganeren]

@@inthefade The thing is... They understood that just taking the 2D Concept of Megaman and turning it 3D would go bad... And indeed it was bad ! Look at Megaman X7 ! So instead, they made a super cool universe with fun characters and animation with a lot of lore... And in the end, even if the gameplay was rough ( i personally loved the city that try to let the player be free ), that's why people still comes back to this game. The Tron Bonne crew, the mysteries, there is fans that really wanted that Megaman Legends 3 game so it's not as if Megaman 64 was forgotten today ! Really not bad for a 5/10 game.

[@rhysm.5915]

Enjoyed listening to this while I grilled pork chops. The PS1 version and its sequel are two of my favorite games of all time. As far as the story/lore being weird, you're absolutely right. They were going for a crazy mind-blowing twist, but due to being unable to rewind to hear dialogue again, a lot of players end up simply confused. The part with Juno is just too abrupt. It is, however, the most important part for understanding the sequel lol

[@jallerlepine3596]

You can actually save in the middle of the boat section. At the start of the boss, Roll asks you if you to retreat and thats your cue to go back, save and come back with full health

[@robertlauncher]

Teasel’s voice acting is ridiculously likeable for a villain. It’s like if you gave your antagonist the pep of a Shonen hero

[@kurtisharen]

I know it's been a while since you played this, but I wanted to point something out about the mining robot you fought. It doesn't just finish itself off, you accidentally managed the correct way to damage the boss. Those little guys that run out the door to throw a bomb? If you shoot THEM when they open the door, they fall backwards and drop the bomb inside of the robot, dealing a huge amount of damage. All of Teisel's comments and yelling at them to stop opening the hatch was supposed to hint that the trick to beating the mech involved the hatch. The intended strategy is to swap out your weapon upgrades to maximize range, then snipe the little guys from far away when they open that hatch. The only attack that can reach you is the green energy blasts, and that's easy enough to just sidestep and avoid.

[@rena10009]

bruh, the intended strat is to jump on it's back and drop mines in the cockpit when it opens the door....

[@ozmega]

@@rena10009 he even had the mines lol

[@ksplatypus]

This is a really fun game to 100% because there's a fairly decent amount of side-quests and tools you can collect! If you're not a dick to the artist lady, she opens up a museum you can fill with objects from the ruins. And you can get rollerskates and the iconic MegaMan helmet if you search through the ruins! Fun game. Definitely one of my favorite RPGs. Super bummed the Legends series is basically dead now 😞

[@shadownova7056]

You need to play some decent rpgs then

[@handlethis405]

This was a Hollywood rental back in the day for me. It's an alright game, fairly basic controls, story is decent W/solid voice acting. I had fun. The PSX version is better all around IMO besides load times, I ended up owning many years later along with MML2. The serve bots are the original minions. Love em... Serve bots, not minions.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

holy crap I forgot about renting games! That was so fun when my parents would let me do that!

[@sweptapostle2473]

Anyone else remember the "cheat" that involved kicking the soda machines to make your suit darker in order to increase your overall power?

[@MeyerBen27]

Something I love about your videos is you almost never blow my speakers out with screaming or obnoxious behavior. Silly sometimes maybe, but objectively funny behavior is awesome, keep it up!

[@kurtstultz6197]

By far top of my "Must See" list of series out there!

[@brianhartwell8728]

I love the toony look of this game, it definitely helps it age well.

[@inthefade]

The face animations are excellent. So much better than making the faces 3d animated.

[@LocalChoker]

Such a good game man, I’m glad you got to experience it. A very fun one to 100%

[@AaronPriceColby]

Love this series ThaB! I have so many favorites from that era, - Golden Eye - TetrisSphere (I would play for hours and be in a borderline trance state) - Blastcorps - Star Fox 64 - Mario 64 of course Loved the Vigilante 8 play thru, that one was tough but a ton of fun. I'm really excited to see you play Blast Corps though. I don't think I ever beat that game and each vehicle has such different physics it was hard to get truly good at it!

[@starpetalarts6668]

"how do the pirates have so much money to afford all this?" That's easy, the dog-kicking game show doesn't discriminate. Fun fact: the sequels to this game are some of the rarest games on PlayStation. They made them exclusive to the PlayStation for some reason and skipped the N64. Also they were done in two parts Megaman Legends and Megaman Legends 2... Megaman 64 is only the first part of the story.

[@TheodoricEichen]

No, that's not quite right. Megaman 64 and Megaman Legends are the same game. Legends 2, however, is a sequel to 64, and you're right that it's a Playstation exclusive.

[@sanityormadness]

Also, Mega Man 64 came out pretty much at the same time the sequel was released on PS1. Since MM64 was already very late in the N64 lifecycle, not the biggest of shocks MML2 wasn't ported.

[@chrisloch9673]

I doubt pirates kick dogs

[@jesseherman5540]

Don't forget there was suppost to be a 3rd game but it got canceled. There's also a prequel about the pirates.

One of my favorite little things on the game is, in the first section of the city you kick the can inside the store, you get like 1thousand zenys. But if you do it repeatedaly your armor gets darker, like really dark blue

[@MajinWamu]

There's a reputation score in the game. By doing bad deeds or answering questions negatively, including calling yourself hippopotamus, will cause your score to go down. Having a negative score affects the way people talk to you and increases sale prices, plus darken your body armor. Having a positive score will cause people to talk positively about you and decrease sale prices, plus lighten your body armor. Just stating in case anyone was interested.

[@raysyegco12]

Brooo I loved this game and I finished it in PlayStation and on emulators! Thanks for playing it man!

This is actually Mega Man Legends for playstation, it was ported to N64 but had to include 64 in the title like every other game N64 game which confuses the series. Unfortunately the N64 did not get the rest of the Mega Man Legends series including Mega Man Legends 2, and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Nowadays a copy of Misadventures of Tron Bonne cost over $350 on ebay for a jewel cased copy.

[@jesseherman5540]

This strat is good midgame but It's faster to get the vacuum upgrade and go in and out of the subgate in downtown and kill all the enemies each time. This is end game but it's how I maxed out the shining laser which costs over 1 million zenny to max out

Megaman Legends is a very charming game. I remember playing it quite a bit on the PS1. Didn't play all the way through it until i was a little older. It has an odd story, but its still a lot of fun. I remember the underground levels scary the crap out of me as a kid. Never played the N64 version, so no idea if it has any real differences.
