Megaman II GB (featuring RushJet1 VRC6) - Title, Password, Stage Select
98After an absolute ton of work, it's here! Megaman II GB (Rockman World 2) VRC6 full playthrough!
During production of Megaman 4, Capcom farmed out Megaman II for GameBoy to Biox - a developer who had never handled Megaman or any game like this before. With a completely different staff (Inafune was only an adviser) the resulting game is very different in style and feel from the other games in the series. Megaman II GB had some interesting ideas as well as some great original song compositions, but it's generally regarded as the black sheep of the Megaman classic series due to its ear-piercing, high pitched soundtrack. In the end Capcom was dissatisifed with Biox, and Biox never developed another Megaman game.
This project was to infuse RushJet1's VRC6 soundtrack into the game, which meant fiddling around with the sound engine.
Surprise surprise, Biox didn't create a clean sound engine. Disable the BGM and the game gets glitchy. Disable the sound effects and the status bars vanish. The only solution was to completely throw out the entire sound engine and create a new one using parts of Megaman 3's.
Although this first video and doesn't really show off the extensive work I had to do, you'll see it in tomorrow's video on forward.
Fight Megaman ! For everlasting properly pitched music!
