Frankly, the only reason I got it on the Wii instead of the 360 is that I can't imagine trying to navigate the world with the 360's awful D-thing.
I had to weigh that against being able to message my friends while playing, having Achievements, having a more comfortable controller... it still came out Wii just because of the D-pad. ARE YOU LISTENING, MICROSOFT?
Actually they are. They're releasing new controllers with better dpads in the new future. Or something a long the lines. I think i read that here on D-poid.
I'm too clever.
RE: Dexter
And that's from the guy that *hasn't* clearly gone insane from Mega Man Fandom, like every other Mega Man fan on this site.
Seriously, SantanClaus flipped out, Michiyo's gone all sentimental and I'm biting controllers. What's going on!?!?!?
@cowzilla
Agreed. If you're not getting handcramps you're doing it wrong!
since i have no desire for the little white box, i will have to make do with my modded (but still crappy) 360 d-pad.
unfortunately i'm not all that confident that the new 360 d-pad will be all that great. it looks like they are continuing to use the d-blob regardless of how they redesign the internal parts, and i just don't like that thing.
WAT ABOUT SIXAXIS???
The classic controller is a lot more comfortable then the remote IMHO. The buttons are bigger, the d pad is bigger, there's no annoying B button trigger to hit accidentally, and pressing B to jump and Y to shoot with your thumb fixed vertically works very well in comparison. The wii remote alone is fine for nostalgic reasoning's, but you gotta admit, the classic controller is where it's at when playing this game.
Oh ya, I agree, the 360's dpad is garbage. That's the reason why I bought it on the Wii as well.
Im gettin it off the PSN.
But if i had to pick between Wii and 360 i would definately go Wii because of the 360's shit D-pad
I would get it for the PS3, because I want people to look at how cool I am because I am playing Mega fucking Man fucking 9.
Wii + Classic controller = WIN!
Basically what Zulu said.
Of course I don't have 360 or PS3, giving me little options.
Seeing as the DS3's D-pad isn't a horrendous abomination, I'd play it on the PS3 considering I don't own a wii. I also never put my 360 online.
I agree that the Wii is probably the way to play this game, but at the same time I also think the PS3 D-pad is absolutely a thing of beauty. Yes it had 4 buttons, but I don't think it's that hard to use only two of them. ;-)
For now I'll be waiting for the PS3 version. I will admit that the thought of playing this on the XBOX30 is just a painful one. Why would you ever purchase the XBLA version if you own a PS3 or Wii?
I went with the Wii version. I have not been let down.
Yea I left the PS3 off here cause the controller differences weren't as drastic. Still the Dpad isn't a true Dpad and four buttons instead of to. Most importantly the comfort factor is there with the PS3, it too is not a rectangle. All these fact make the controller decidely un-retro.
I have a Wii but I'll rock this game on the PS3. Their Dpad is quite comfy, so I'm good. But really, Wii and the PS3 are the way to go. The 360 Dpad is an abomination.
I got it for the Wii partly because it was a good excuse to actually turn the damn thing on, but mostly because it came out first. :p
To be honest I think I'll get it for the 360 as well.
YES I HAVE FLIPPED OUT!!!!!!!! IS IT FUCKING THURSDAY YET ZOMG
I have the Wii version. So good.
There are other, less obvious advantages too:
A thrown (and broken) Wiimote is cheaper to replace than a sixaxis or 360 gamepad
The Wii also uses less electrical power than the 360 or PS3. Seeing as how most people will fail (and retry) over and over and over again, go green and play the Wii version
The Wiimote is easier to bite. It's elongated shape is made for fellating; remember Shiggy practically deep throating one (Wii Music) at E3? If you can fit a 360 or Sixaxis in your mouth, wtf are you doing here? You should be in porn!
But that would mean I'd have to turn on my Wii. And after I did that, I'd probably find out that the batteries on my Wii Remote were dead. And then after I replaced them, I'd get fed up trying to sync the remote to my console (which, for some reason, is more difficult than it should be).
Also, retro is overrated. I'll play this game with the analog stick ... bite me. :D
all valid points casual.
I've gotten use to the 360 type Dpad. It feels weird and sometimes the directions kind of blend together but the shape of the controller is much more important for me.
I can attest to the ease of bitage, yall. With the Wii Skin, that joint it tasty.
*is tasty or *, it tasty!
Pro Tip: Use the analog stick.
Pro Tip: The Analog stick is just as bad.
I'm getting it on PS3. I need something to play on it other than my Blu-Ray copy of Batman Begins.
Oof, I was going to wait for the 360 version but you bring up a good point. I suppose I'll grab the Wii version then, though the dualshock has a great D-pad too.
Im with Nick.
Analog is the future. Get with it or fucking bow down, you low tech dogs.
...
I still need a Wii.
...? People actually want to play this game with an analog stick? It doesn't make any sense to do that!
It's like using a steering wheel to play Pac-Man.
@Nick Chester:
Don't forget having to redo the Wii's wireless settings because you dared to tinker with your router since the last time you used your Wii, because god forbid the console actually allows for a wired connection...
@dexter345:
That... sounds like something worth trying. :)
Got it for Wii cause I wanted a real d-pad.
I have tried to play Mega Man 1 & 2 with a analog stick and it really isn't as precise or accurate to me at least. When I am using the d-pad I feel like I have control of Mega Man. Same with Pac-Man.
I play mega man with analog
Yeah I'll be playing this with the analog sticks on 360. That's how I played BC Rearmed and it worked out all right.

Everyone playing it with Analog is a bunch of sinners. I'm going to start a church and it'll be The Church of No Analog for Retro Games (TCNRG) and you'll all be going to hell where the only thing to play is Virtua Boy and just when you think you're having fun with that they'll give you a 360 but the only game that works is Yaris. AMEN!
...analog. *shakes head in dissappointment*
I'll be playing this on whatever console I get money for next week. Wipeout HD all the way this week.
I'll probably be PS3'ing it though, just so I don't have to delete stuff on my Wii.
I got it off the PSN, my Wii is broken(disc drive-only though)but I'm still to lazy to fish it out. Yeah, the 360 version will probably be the worst due to controls.
