kick ass

Why the hell bother with the PSP version? Make the other ones good. No one's going to buy a PSP version of the game if they have one of the other systems just because there are more characters and an 'enhanced' story.

It sounds like they're concentrating on the PSP version the most to me there, which is a little worrying since it's the device with the least amount of units sold.hmmm..

Anyway, sounds good. I hope this has some kind of online play ine X360 version.

Thats cool, I just hope it doesn't have a cop out ending like the Transmetal game where even if you won as a Predacon, the Maximals still somehow came out on top.

You underestimate how shite the PSP versions of games are. I'll be buying the PSP and PS2 versions, I hate the PSP but if there are G1 playable characters and networked muliplayer I'll finally be glad I bought the thing.

Well, that settles it. I'm buying the PSP version. It sounds awesome!

I don't have a PSP and this isn't worth buying one just to get some extra characters. But I want to play as those old characters, so once again D'oh! Really, why should the portable get the cool stuff when it would be so much better on the big screen? It's usually the other way around.

I also fear the PS2 version is gonna be the worst version cause it's tech is getting old. I hope they put as much care into the PS2 version as they do the other versions though.

And this sounds like one sweet movie game. Good thing it comes out on/or around my birthday (July 4th ), so that's gonna be one heck of a day.

Hmm.....so the 360 & PS3/2 are more than likely going to be standard...the Wii will probably have wiimote functions, there's going to be 2 seperate DS versions (1 'bots & 1 'cons), & the PSP's going to have older characters.....

.....hmm....

Well, since I don't have a PS3...it looks like I'm going to be getting 5 versions of the same game.....

.....or at least rent them & keep the best.

PSP games have a crapload of extra features to attract buyers. It's sad but true. MegaMan: Powered Up is a good example. While the game itself is fairly good, the extras block your vision so that you don't notice the main game. Heck, even the main game is packed with extra characters.

I forgot about Megaman Powered Up being for the PSP. Doesn't it have a level creator?

Hmm, by the time the movie comes out, I should at most have a job, at least be out of school, and with the Castlevania 2-pack coming out, and Metal Gear Portable Ops being on the system, as well as a few other games, perhaps there'll be enough to warrent me getting a PSP.

YES!

Yup, and an online function with every uploaded level from the US, the UK, and Japan. There's also a level list site here.

If you like Megaman X1, then get its remake: Megaman Maverick Hunter X. The anime cutscenes are stunning and the graphics are pretty good, too.

So yeah, there are good games for the PSP. Just so you know, I bought mine just for Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X! I'm a devoted MM fan.

Speak for yourself.

I'll be buying one of the next Gen versions, to go with whichever next gen system I get first, and the PSP version if it gets even half decent reviews.

Nice. I may buy the Wii and PSP versions, because I love the Wii, but those extra characters on PSP sound sweet.

I'll just get the PC version and download additional character models.

Hm. Those other characters probably include the Combaticons. Wonder who else'd appear? Probably won't be the truly massive characters like Metroplex. Even gestalt-sized TFs like Deszaras and Star Saber'd be pushing it.

i hope the wii version is good

this game sounds awesome....it sounds a lot like War of The Monsters

What? Are you drunk of "hater-aid" again? I scored a PSP for free a few months back for helping with a small Ontario based wrestling feds security (those rednecks in Oshawa can really throw a bottle of JD.) I'll be picking this one up, it sounds like it might be better then the other platform versions.

Me too. I've always been a big fan of Megaman games. I even got in an old copy of Nintendo Power for writing about how awsome MM 3 was. ( my favorite is still 2, and my favorite X is 1 or I also bought Powered up and Maverick Hunter X. I was pumpped to use vile after I beat the game, and even liked how they re-hid the powerups.

This game just isn't gonna get here past enough.

i was afraid id be left out not having a next gen system.

Same here. I'm a HUGE Megaman fan, and whe I found out my 2 favorite MM games were being remade for PSP I was sold. The PSP was really sold short gaming wise. I love the system, but I'll be damned there's hardly any good games. I'm actually really interested in the PSP version, sounds interesting. I'll be getting that and the Wii version.

You know I could see them bringing over Transforemers: Call of the Future to the states (the G1 game from a few years back) I have it, and modded my PS2 specifically for it. I think it's an awsome game, even if the EI is beyond awful. You may as well fly solo and have the otehr two in your party dance around or sip tea on the sidelines. Still with all the hype H-wood is giving TFs, I could see them touching up the game for the US market. Even if it's released as a greatest hits title.

>_< I am just getting a 360 and the PSP version is betteru? gah
