I don't think I ever saw a thread like this, so I made one. At first it made me go wtf. After a while, I got used to it and it was kinda cute... kinda.

I don't really care, but after playing the last 3 games, I started realizing the big navis looked odd.

I think they should have gone with a compromise. The new small sprites should have been just the "outdoor" sprites for people in the real world, while the old sprites should have been kept as the "indoor" sprites. This is because outdoors, characters tend to look much too tall compared to the buildings around them, where you'd think they'd have to duck to get through doors. And there are transitions into the insides of buildings that appear much larger on the inside than outside, even when they're showing the same thing. So it would make sense to have an extra set of sprites if the Game Boy Advance cartridge could fit them all in.

The outlines could be darkened a little on the large sprites for both worlds, but they should still look large and vibrant. Small MegaMan just looks cross-eyed when he looks directly at you.

The cart size is not an excuse. The game designers must have simply decided on a newer, smaller style. The smaller sprites are slightly "chibi" in style and I think tend to compromise the details with the odd purple border around everything. The older sprites may have been more accurate, but they were duller. Most of the palettes from the first 3 games were terribly gray.

I still kinda like Mandi Paugh's theory that some executive said "Make them look different", and all the graphic artists could do with the sprite limitations was shrink everything and flatten the color ranges, so then everyone thereafter agreed that newer = better despite there being no real improvement.

I agree with BoMF. They should have made a compromise and improved the pallettes of the bigger sprites rather than shrink them into more well colored but smaller sprites.

While I dislike most things about the last 3 games I consider the graphics an improvement, proportions are better, you see more area around you and brighter colors fit the game style.

The best part of the sprite change is that it allowed for more spacious Internet areas. Other than that, I don't have any personal preference between the two. The former is nicely detailed, but lacking in color. Vise-versa for the latter.

i noticed that mmbn 4-6 and mmbn 1-3 have different buster attack


just press b 2 times.


mmbn 3=he shots with his buster and he still doing shots
mmbn 4=he shots with his buster and then,he cancel the buster,and shot again,making a bit slower than the other one.

i think its a capcom option to make you concetrate more on charge+ than speed+

its not SO off-topic,since this changed when they changed the graphics.

"What you and I see are totally different.
All you're seeing is life. You don't understand death at all. That's why you can't kill me, and you're only able to kill a weakened woman.
If you could see death, you couldn't maintain your sanity. All you can perceive is the part which keeps things alive.
If you could see death——you couldn't even manage to stand.
... Being able to see the 'death' of things mean you're forced to see the world's fragility and uncertainty.
The ground is like it's not there, and the sky seems about to fall at any moment.
... You don't know of the illusion that the whole world could perish in an instant.
That is what it means to see death. These eyes, this power isn't something you can boast about like you did.
That's your mistake, vampire. Life and death may be back to back, but they shall never face each other.
I'll show you.
This is what it means to kill something."

This may not have to do with the OW sprites, but I noticed that the BN2 battle sprite blinks... or I'm just going crazy.
