I'm not gonna play that game with you.
You know good and well that the Wii and PS3 cater to VERY different markets. The Wii is marketed towards the elderly, children under 10, and people who think that a video game should help them get in shape. The PS3 is for people that like video games.

You just can't defend yourself now. I figured you wouldn't admit it.

I think he meant to say "weren't".
It would have been nice if they were, as it's certainly possible give that both games are made with all of the NES's limitations in mind from sprite size to even the tile and sprite color limitations that adhere to the NES's color pallet. With Famitracker, even the music from the games can be ported to the NES directly.
The colossal job however would be to port the C++ code of both games to 6502 assembly, although given the complexity of some Rockman 4 rom hacks, it might be fully possible to use much of the code from Megaman 4 or Megaman 6 (tied for being the biggest of the NES games in terms of ROM storage) to construct TRUE NES builds of Megaman 9 and 10.
Sadly I don't think it'll ever happen unless Capcom totally looks the other way. Still, they seem to be okay with Rokko-chan and even Rockman 7 FC and 8 FC.....so maybe someday a rom hacker will bring Megaman 9 and 10 to the Famicom and then it'll be possible to buy reproduction carts. I really, really hope so.
Just saying, but it would be nice to get some replies to the post I made a few days ago. I'd love to hear others thoughts on individual entries in the series or opinions on what I said.

sorry everyone, i looked it up. the megaman team bought cheap NES games and took out the chips, and used the casing to put a disc inside the cartridge. it only included some artwork and maybe some other colletors things. aory for causing such controversy.

You may want to do some more research yourself bud.
Worldwide sales figures
PlayStation – 102.49 million shipped (Japan: 21.59, US: 40.78, Europe: 40.12)
including PSone – 28.15 million shipped
Nintendo 64 – 32.93 million (Japan: 5.54 million, the Americas: 20.63 million, other: 6.75 million)
Even though some people (you and myself included) happened to enjoy the N64 more it does not mean that is was a more successful console. Not by a long shot. Sony has been mopping the floor with Nintendo up until this last generation where the sides flipped.

even though it sold more, doesnt mean it did as good as nintendo. the reason why there were sooo many ps consoles sold wast because of piracy! i live in mexico, and back in the day, i never eeever saw an original PS cd, untill today that i bacame a collector. back then i didnt own a ps1, but every single person i knew had at least 20 to 30 pirate games and not a single original one. sure in the US piracy is not that common, but paying 250 bucks for an immense amount of good games or buying an n64 and a lot of original expensive games, kids and parents decided to go to the cheaper option

It was not a blunder, it was not the Saturn, Dreamcast, Jaguar, or some other piece of garbage. To say so is crazy! Ocarina of time is like one of the best games of all time.

I did ... i read every post on this forum.
I was referring to the part when you wrote this:

I was informing you that yes it was in fact murdered in a mudslide where its opposition sold 3x more units. I was going into exact details on a point that wiggy stated.

Piracy or not, sales are sales. Its not like the systems were just given away. I'm not arguing anything about the software being pirated. Every unit sold counts in ........ CONSOLE WARS !!! :D
@ Everyone
To be honest who really cares? If you enjoyed the games you played on that system, great. If you enjoyed the other guys a bit more and so did some more people, good for you too.
wiggy:
Um, if it sold more, then it did indeed "do better". That's not very debatable. I don't think sales in Mexico made up the 60 million plus difference in sales.

And you have the audacity to accuse me of expressing my opinion when I'm only trying to present empirical data?
