[edit] Roll Costumes
Do we have a 100% certainty that this release schedule will remain unchanged? This information is purely speculation that came from an unofficial hack of a game save which simply had them listed in that order. LanceHeart 01:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
There is confirmation that the release schedule will not remain the same as the order of the costume appearance in the game's listing. This confirmation is that Knight Roll, which was the first (or second) on the list, is being released in May, not January (or February...) The months of the release of each costume should remain "Unknown" until each costume is released.
- Dude, Knight Roll's release date was never listed as January or February. It was listed as May, which is exactly when it's being released. -TPIRFanSteve 21:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and one last queston, how do you download Roll?
[edit] Proper Name
Why is this game called "Mega Man: Powered Up" on Wikipedia? It should be "Mega Man Powered Up", without the ":", according to the game itself and other sources, indicating it's the full title, not a subtitle or anything like that.

Note: Pictured here is the original Oil Man design, which resembled blackface, an old racial stereotype from early American cartoons (he has overly large lips and black skin akin to racist propaganda of black people), and was given the nickname "Nigger Man" on various Internet discussion groups.

- Mega Man
This seems somewhat "crufty" and exceptionally inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Perhaps a viable insertion in wikibooks might be warranted, but certainly cannot be allowed in the course of explaining the knowledgeable qualities of a remade video game. I've also taken the initiative to clean-up and elaborate on the gameplay section. As for the images, take a trip over to Robot Master, oh in say, an hour or two to see what I'm doing with them. -ZeroTalk 14:46, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Creating a new article for the download dates?
Since the release dates are starting to take up an insane amount of space, and considering that the schedule will extend for a projected year, should the download dates be put into a separate article altogether in order to remove the unnecessary length to the article?

[edit] Blues download
Capcom are putting up an activator for Blues, and planning to release it February 23rd. --Reploidof20xx (TALK) 01:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article needs to be moved
The correct name of the game is Mega Man Powered Up. It doesn't have a colon as it's named on this Wikipedia article (See here: [1]). I'm going to move it maybe tomorrow. There's at least 30 articles that link to this article so it'll be a hefty job correcting every one. Just a heads up. - Throw 11:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Moved and corrected! - Throw 01:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Goof section added
I have added to goofs to the game, these can prove vital to the gameplay and aid people with the information available, thank you. Dark Halen 2 (talk) 19:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)25th November 2007Dark Halen 2 (talk) 19:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but the "goofs" section is a trivia section and they are already discouraged in the first place (see template in the Trivia section). Not only that, but the entire section pertains to in-game tricks, which is not something Wikipedia should normally cover. LanceHeart 05:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I think it should since it is done in other game areas, therefore it is acceptible Dark Halen 2 23:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)2nd DecemberDark Halen 2 23:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- This article begs to differ. Let me quote a passage for you. As the article says, "Lists of cheats or codes. Some codes may be notable and suitable for articles, such as the famed Konami Code, but the method of performing a code that's confined to only a few games and has no special claim to fame is unsuitable for Wikipedia."
- As such, your in-game trivia is not admissible for Wikipedia, but could be for its corresponding Wikia. LanceHeart 02:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough. Dark Halen 2 (talk) 16:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC) 8th Dec Dark Halen 2 (talk) 16:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "468 New Style stages?"
A quote from the current version's lead:
- There are actually 468 New Style stages in this mode, 13 for each difficulty (Easy, Normal, and Hard), and 39 for each character (see list of playable characters below).
I think it's a bit much to count each stage's difficulty level as a whole new stage considering the only thing that changes is the way some enemies act or react. Same goes for saying each playable character's game should be considered a totally separate set of thirteen levels—that's like saying Super Mario Bros. 2 contains eighty levels because its twenty can be played with four characters.
