I played this game as a japanese import. It is so awesome. The graphics are really cool. And the bosses are really cool looking. I liked this because I didn't need to get a playstation to play anymore Mega Man games. My Advice: Buy this game! Right Away! It is really amazing.

I got this game on 1-13-01 and I love it. I've played it for 9 hours and 15 minutes. I have alot of weapons and I am very far in the game. The only problem is your eyes hurt after you play it but it is hard to stop playing the game.SO GET IT! If you love RPG games and love action games this is the perfect game for you.

The first and best Mega Man game for Nintendo 64

Mega Man 64 is a fully enhanced port of the original PlayStation hit, Mega Man Legends. The game still remains the same thing as its PSX counterpart. But unlike the it's PSX predecessor, Mega Man 64 has better and smoother graphics, tight controls, and non-stop 3D action. Mega Man 64 definently showed that it can improve over it's PSX cousin with the new enhancements, mostly thanks to the power of the Nintendo 64. Since there was no rumble feature on the PSX version, there is a rumble feature in this version. Everything about the game is excellent. The only thing that bothers me is the occasional framerate errors and glitches, weak voice acting, and flat looking buildings, floors, and walls. Even if this game came in the right place at the wrong time, Mega Man 64 is still worth the purchase to those who never played the PSX version. If you played the game already, you would easily beat the game without breaking a sweat and quickly return it to the store. If you haven't played the game, you'll enjoy playing this game hundreds and hundreds of times. I LOVE this game, and I suggest that all Mega Man fans who don't own a PlayStation should get this game. Now the two rival systems, Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, are now even. They both got the same title. Still, it should've came out 4 years ago. Even if this is just a port of a 4 year old PlayStation game, you'll still enjoy it anyway. And believe me, this game is not mimicing the PlayStation version. Improving the graphics and the gameplay is not mimicing. Anyway, if you wanted to play a better game for the Nintendo 64 with more action, stunning 3D graphics, and tight gameplay, Mega Man 64 is your game !

A Serious Disappointment

I was very disappointed with this game. The graphics are much poorer than other recent N64 titles (e.g., Majora's Mask, Banjo-Tooie), and the play control is the worst I have ever seen on the N64. Mega Man does not move smoothly: if you want to turn right or left, you have to come to a complete stop and swivel in place! And woe to anyone who tries to target by pressing Z and R at the same time and THEN pressing the B button to shoot! This may be a port of an older game, but Capcom should have taken time to update it instead of just coasting off the success of the Mega Man franchise.

The game, by the way, bears no resemblance to the old NES series. You will not encounter Drs. Light or Wily here. There is no Proto Man or dog Rush. And you certainly don't spend the game fighting other robots (e.g., Metal Man, Guts Man) in order to win their powers. This is a Mega Man game in name only. The plotline is different, and only marginally resembles the old series. And don't think you are getting a Zelda-style RPG either, as the review above suggests. Mega Man 64 is far inferior to either Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask.

There is a lot of wasted potential here. The worlds are large, and the story is interesting enough, but the execution is so feeble that it seriously hampers the gaming experience. If you are thinking about buying the game, I would definitely rent it first.

A couple of pros, a couple of cons...

Megaman, a name that brings back sweet memories. I loved the x series and in all games I have played bearing his title I have enjoyed. Megaman 64 fufills some expectations and leaves others out.

I expected a game that was like the others, battle enemies for their powers, face various foes and challenges and then battle it out with Sigma, Dr.Wily or a new nemesis. Megaman 64 incorparates the foes and challenges but the old nemesis's like Dr. Wily and Sigma are gone. Now a new enemy appears. The Bonne family. You don't acquire special abilities from defeating your oponents but rather find things and give them to Roll to build special parts for you.

The storyline also changed. Which technically is not a bad thing... Dr. Light is gone and now Megaman was abanonded as a child instead of being found in a capsule underground. MegaMan has a lot of origins doesn't he? :-) Zero is not present or any other people you knew in the X series or the original series except Roll. The additio of the Bonne family helps the game and storyline but as the editorial review states "The dialouges seem designed for 4-year olds" or at least very young gamers.

Gameplay is not THE BEST in the world but is easy to get used too and even fun after while (I'm talking about controls). The gameplay is kind of fast but the missions in the game are great and pose a very big challenge. So that is definetly a big pro for the game.

Lack of multiplayer was a hard fact to deal with. Banjo-tooie got a multiplayer, other games got a multiplayer but Megaman was sadly left out of the bunch. Imagine a great 4-player battle with Megaman, and the cast from the game? Ahhh.... would have been great...

In summary, this game is not the best and not the worst. It's a fun game. It earns 5 stars for being fun, challenging and a simply great game. Hey, every game has a bad side, but don't let that stop you from getting the great, addictive game. A definite buy for anyone.

The blue is back, with quite a stack, of challenges along the way, and the mission to save the day. It's gotta be Megaman 64! `:-)

Sad Disappointment

I've been a hard-core gamer since the days of Intellivision, and this release is BY FAR the most disappointing video game purchase I have ever made. I loved all of the NES and Super Nintendo Mega Man games. The strategy was simple: a lot of really hard gaming sequences in which you acquired a special weapon or power that you would need later.

I guess Capcom was trying to come up with a Zelda-esque plot line, but this is childish ... and an insult to the Mega Man fan base. Capcom should have created some more mature levels emulating the Super Mario 64 level designs. Instead, they wasted a lot of time on infantile dialogue sequences and shockingly weak graphics. This product was thrown together to sell solely on the name of Mega Man. It is a disgrace.

A real dissapointment

I have played all the opther mega man games, and i liked them all. this game is not only a disgrace to the mega man series but it is one of the worst n64 games i have ever played. yes, it is 3d unlike most of the other mega man games, but you will stop liking it quickly, the dialouge is moronic, controls just don't work... i could go on and on....

Megaman has been a hot title since before I was born {I think}. Even though I have only played a few of the games this one beats the rest! In my opinion it is just as good as any Zelda games. The only cons in this game is that it loses a bit of action during the middle of the game, but the game designers compensated for the loss of action by creating interesting little side quests that even I enjoy, and I am seriously picky! Anyway I wanted to say that this is a recommended game for old and young all over the world! If you can't buy it rent it now and experience the thrill of one of the greatest action games for the Nintindo 64!!!

good game

this game is quite good so it is just a port from the playstation it is good on game play and action but the graphics are not that great but they are still good and you get a lot of wepons and armor to make it easy to kill the enimes but the story is a little odd but all around it is a good game.
