Rockman DASH beta/game/series Research.

[dragondash]

Hey I got a suggestion, why don't we add (or expand) a research page for the Rockman DASH games, i.e research about any beta and/or pre-release information. (Besides the Rockman DASH beta) I have an old article about

Megaman Neo

AKA Mega Man Legends from EGM.

[feldinaut]

That'd be hot... I was unaware of the game when it was in the early stages, so it would be a cool thing for the fans to see, even though the site isn't currently being updated. Care to post it?

(And I'm gonna move this to General Legends, in case anything becomes of it and it becomes kind of a collaborative thing.)

I remember Megaman Neo. I don't know if it was the same article but one of the screen shots shows Megaman on top of a tower and shooting at some big boss. Another was a shot a Roll and a bunch of other character around her(Don't remember what they look like but they must have been Data and Barrel).

I also remember that the text that came with the pic said something about Roll being "hotter than ever". Which is funny because that implies that she was previously "hot" and she's is just now the hottest shes been. But before Legends all her appreances were very pixelated.

Thats the article I have!! Its the EGM article. The Issue #100 special edition.
I'll post it when I get the chance. By the way how do I upload images from my computer?

Here are some pics from ign.com of the beta version of Dash 1. Its interesting to see how Megaman had a guage for his right and left arm as well as an "ex guage" Experience points maybe?
Whats even more interesting is that the feldinaut had eyes!!



..and concept art




Some concept ruin images

Actually you got that from Coming Soon Magazine.

Complimenting this one player game is a compelling storyline, role-playing elements, devastating weapons, and beautifully rendered, state-of-the-art graphics set in a 3D environment. A PlayStation exclusive, Mega Man Neo is scheduled to release in the 1st Quarter of 1998 at a suggested retail price of $49.00.

State-of-the-art? It was the most UNDERRATED!

[pitch]

Yeah, Feldynaught's eyes are also in some concept art I've seen floating around here somewhere. There it is. I ♥ some of the beta designs myself. They're really cool. I oughta sprite some of them.... *runs off*

[cidhighwind]

Heh, those eyes are quite amusing. He also seems much shorter here; media.psx.ign.com/media/002/002082/img_1304366.html

Is it me or does Rock look like they tried to give him real shading? I mean depending where he moves depends on his shadings. You all know what I mean. so am I the only one who see's that?

[dragondash]

So what do you think? They're quite interesting aren't they? although some of these pics can be found on the RMDASH demo, the Feldinaut pics are extremely interesting

Cool. If you look closely at this picture, you can even see a green feldynaught all the way in the back. Not mentioning the green drache ships in the sky..

The Im guessing the pics of the ruins are from the first ruin in the game. The hallways seem way wider, and also have different textures.
As for the downtown area, the color scheme is way off. Tons of neon colors everywhere.
And what could the left and right arm bars on the HUD be for?..

[Dashe]

I think "R. ARM" and "L. ARM" measure how powerful your buster is and your special weapon is, like the more you used your weapon, the stronger it gets. Or maybe it's just ammo. Or both, but I like the first idea better! The EX bar's obviously EXP, in relation to your health and defense. Or something like that

Guys guess what? I found some lost/unused dialog from the MML2 disc, that I've digged deep within the files of the game. I've ripped them:
Its not much, but some interesting tibits.
HERE YOU GO!! s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2WCTVKE2DPD5V2OZKD9BTYSSKX
I have more I'll post them when I get the chance.
===============================================
[glow=red,2,300]NOW I BRING YOU MML lost/unused dialog!![/glow]
SO FAR

Remember when you turn on the TV in the Flutter after you beat Bruno, the news reporter announces that a car chase is in the Downtown area? Well he had more spoken dialog.

And I found some un-used dialog of Barrel. Like insisting that Mega Man should investigate the scene.

And remember after the car chase scene, the Inspector gave you an reward of Zenny? Well Capcom of America originally gave the Inspector more spoken dialog then in the Japanese version I assume.

Everythings here:

Don't forget there's...
MORE TO COME!

[Darfox8]

Wow that is pretty cool. Though some of those it sounds like I've heard before. But I think thats just me.

Thanks alot. If you keep making such substance full treads people are going to love you so fast.

[dragondash]

EVEN more beta stuff!!

Roll had many more misc. dialog, like tell which direction MegaMan should go.

When MegaMan unlocked the Central Gates or Portals with the Sleeper, Watcher, Dreamer keys at the Main Gate. All the text actually had spoken dialog.

Enjoy!

Still digging!
