Episode 134: Mega Man X
Added 2018-01-08 18:30:53 +0000 UTCFriends! It's another deep dive as Bob and I convene with Kat Bailey and Brett Elston to discuss the greatest Mega Man game of all: Mega Man X. Handily, this coincides with both the series' 30th anniversary and the recent release of the Super NES mini console, so it's double-relevant. Wow!
I hope you enjoy the gimmicky format I used this week. I tried to make it a fun listen, and I have my fingers crossed that it doesn't cross the line into "irritating" by mistake…

We've got another hootenanny coming up very soon, but it's not Mega Man!

2022-03-19 19:10:22 +0000 UTCThe Mega Drive (Genesis) remixes Brett referred to during the episode: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CzkswHHxQI." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CzkswHHxQI.</a> Some are incredible; the leads are so much crisper and it really comes out in sections like Boomer Kuwanger's bridge. Highly recommended.

2018-01-22 00:05:39 +0000 UTCGreat episode. I loved hearing all the X music play before each segment.
2018-01-17 13:30:06 +0000 UTCWhat about the genndy Star Wars cartoons

2018-01-15 03:05:27 +0000 UTCI do believe Retronauts did a deep dive into Megaman 2 back in the 1up days. It was one of the video podcasts you guys did. I recall their being an argument over the pronunciation of bubble lead

2018-01-11 04:51:58 +0000 UTCGreat episode guys! This is the one I've been waiting for. I was obsessed with the X series in my teenage years. Loved the fun new format and all of the insightful discussion. I also loved the coordinated songs for each of the "stages" of the podcast. Jeremy knocked it out of the park in this one!
2018-01-10 19:32:04 +0000 UTCManoman, what a great episode! Nice to hear Brett and Kat again. Tho I couldn’t help but wonder how hard Brett was biting his tongue about the upcoming Legacy Collections for X and MM 11. Also, big kudos for the ‘stage select’ format!

2018-01-10 14:07:57 +0000 UTCI agree, I liked the format as well. I think this was one of the game soundtracks I recorded manually with a handheld cassette recorder so I could make video game mix tapes...
2018-01-10 02:05:01 +0000 UTCSomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there some Inafune quote of Zero being closer to the original look intended for MegaMan? I vaguely remember something about his blue color scheme having to do with the 8-bit palette limitations. Super fun episode, I really dug the format, very entertaining!
2018-01-09 06:33:32 +0000 UTCGreat deep dive into a true classic. Really liked the format too, made for a focused but free flowing discussion.
