MMBN4 is one of the most disappointing games of my young life. I loved the series and was hyped for 4, then it was so bad I just...stopped caring. 2 and 3 were excellent though.

How long is each game? I've played nearly every MM game except for the BN games (unless you count NT). Been meaning to try these for years, even though they aren't really MM games.

MMBN1 is probably more like 10 hours to beat, the rest I'd say 20 makes sense if you progress at a fairly leisurely pace

I mean, there's so much more than just this. Everything in Netopia is completely off the rails. There's definitely some random npc dialog that got past censors.

It's really funny because BN3 is so straightforward and tame by comparison - it's the best story and script BY FAR, but it just lacks BN2's complete and utter anarchy

its pretty crazy they released six games in like five years

first game came out in Japan in March of 01, then 6 came out in November of 05

thats too many games

and then they maintained the yearly release schedule for three Star Force games too

Fun fact: Despite being the worst BN, BN4 is the second best selling BN game. Oh sorry, I meant the second best selling Mega Man game (behind only MM2). Fresh off an honest to god masterpiece in BN3, at the height of the popularity of the series as a franchise with the show and toys and all that, they put out BN4. lol

Are you also counting Star Force?

Because the BN games are about as long as those.

So what are they gonna do about the Boktai content in the later games

that stuff is actually plot-relevant in 4 so they can't just cut it out like they did for 6 when Boktai 3 didn't come West

Third best selling actually, Mega Man 11 is the second best selling and will probably end up beating Mega Man 2 since it's still getting digital sales.

what the hell

there is also a segment slightly before this where you're on a vacation to Europe but also a couple screens over from the medieval castle is a stereotype of an American "ghetto" filled with Black people

it's um. bad and bizarre.

edit: not all of it but can give you an idea.
https://twitter.com/ponettplus/status/948033705586708481?t=2uoPgDD-6IUs7JmZFR2qMw&s=19

According to this rando on Twitter, Netopia is more explicitly "The West" and is a fusion of America and Europe in the JP version, so if I were being generous it could be a bad attempt at social commentary. But also all of the dialogue during this section is the writers/localizers riffing on as many cultural stereotypes as possible, it's wild. I'm actually wondering now if they're gonna clean it up in relocalization.

Most of the first season (or two?) but then there were no fan subs so I gave up on this
I am still not sure if the whole Anime ever got subbed

To be totally honest I thought they might never rerelease MMBN2 because of this. I bet they at least go in and clean up some of the random "damns" and "hells" (if I recall correctly one of the bad guys literally says 'damn it to hell' lol)

Oh yeah I feel the same. Problematic fave lol

MMBN3 makes a ton of gameplay improvements but then kinda hamstrings itself by having a bunch of weird gimmicky bosses, and 6 is a blast to play but in a different way. Plus by then the series has gone through enough changes and polishing to have a different vibe. By 6 the setting has a lot of established lore to deal with while 2 and 3 are a lot more invested in just projecting the weirdness of early 2000s internet into the future (and also Mega Man is there). And for better and worse that is at its peak in 2! But being the first one I played it left the biggest impact on me.

(this is also why Star Force doesn't work nearly as well, the setting is nonsense because it just reconstructs the MMBN world mechanically using weird lore it gets up its own ass about)
