Once a year, we at Talking Time celebrate the birth of he who was the son of God, a divine blessing on the Earth. I’m speaking, of course, about Mighty No. 9. I assume. I never played the game but that’s probably the story. And to celebrate, we have Megamas, were the video game franchise Rockman (also known as Megaman) is played and the defeats of the robot masters are tallied.
And I had intended to do this for ages but the timing never lined up but I thought we’d celebrate this franchise, on of my favourite when I was a kid, with a Megadome! A celebration of all things Rock/Mega, we will match up a number of tunes against each other!
So the rules are simple:
- List up to four Megaman tunes
- Wait….
- When the matches start, the entries will be put into one-on-one matches for “what do you like better”
- Vote on the ones you like best!
“Oh, so you can include any tune from the original core Megaman series?”
Nope, think bigger!
“Megaman X too?”
Bigger than that.
“Every Megaman game.”
Oh, even this is limiting.
We are going to not only include every game but also all media. Remember, there were several Megaman cartoons (American and Japanese) and all sorts of fan works. It can include someone just rapping about how great Megaman is. Plus, the covers, by God the covers. Heck, if you want to nominate things that aren’t technically songs but weird bits of media, go for it.
Spin-offs, too! Tron Bonne does have her own game, after all!
If it is even remotely Megaman related, throw it in. The more variety, the better! The more obscure or off-beat the better. Sure, it’s fun when your pick wins but to me, the real fun is sharing some favourite or amusing tunes!
Deadline is December 6th!
