    The onyl thing that would be better is if you could play old carts on a modern system. Tho playing mario and such with gc controller might feel a bit wierd.

  2. Best Megaman weapon? by BTWR · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think the Metal Blade in Mega Man 2 was the best. It shot in 8 directions! It ruled!

    What do you think? What about stupidest weapon? (I think Bomb from MM1 - it was too slow).

    Oh yeah. That was fun. Up+A on controller 2 froze almost everything in MM3. And holding right kept you from dying in pits and let you jump high. Ah, the good old days.

    I can only assume the games are emulated (the first 7, anyway...I'm guessing 8 can be ported), so the trick should still work, as long as Capcom lets the game detect the second controller.
