King (Mega Man) merge

King (Mega Man) is nothing but plot summary of this game (and OR-ish description of his personality). As it is dupe content and per WP:FICT, it should be merged here. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Japanese name

The game was never called "Rockman 9" in Japan. It's original name was "Rockman and Forte", as it can be seen in this picture.--201.19.142.25 16:23, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Old game

Wasn't this game released in Japan on the Super Nintendo first, and then on the Gameboy Advance years later in America? I believe I heard this game has a big delay in the American release, so wouldn't that mean that it took place before Megaman 8?--Benpercent 05:09, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Mega Man 8 was released in 1996 in Japan. This game was made after. The GBA version was released in Japan, US, and Europe (though for some reason, I cannot locate a European rating for the game...it can't be found on either the BBFC or PEGI websites). --Thunderbird8 (talk) 15:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Megaman and bass 02.png

Image:Megaman and bass 02.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Tea and Powerthirst

What the heck I think it's vandilism. (Look and the end of of the last couple paraghraphs:

Then, he points to a computer monitor which displays the title and blueprints for "King II," but Proto Man warps in, blasts the computer away, and has a talk with Bass, in which Bass makes it quite clear how much better he is than everybody. After the talk, they share tea, but Bass has a PowerThirst instead.

Is it vandilism, should it be deleted? I've never actully beaten the game, so I don't know.Claycrow 14:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is vandalism. I dont know WHERE that came from...I beat it, and there's nothing about tea or power thirsts.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.95.246.82 (talk) 23:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

The story was changed?

"The story was changed slightly from the Super Famicom version to meet with the timeline of taking place after Mega Man 8."
Did this unofficial snes version translation do this, or the Gameboy Advance port's official translation? --Eli77e 20:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

MM&B is not parallel to MM9

It is an alternate continuation to Mega Man 8, and is parallel to Mega Man 9. [...] The game is not considered a sequel to Mega Man 8 (there exists a separate Mega Man 9), but was a side story.

But, in the ending of Mega Man 9, we can understand that Mega Man 9 is in fact set after Mega Man & Bass, when Mega Man shows nine defeats of Wily. The ninth one represents Mega Man & Bass. DjinnFighter (talk) 02:50, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Yup. Let's delete this line. Side story doesn't mean "alternate". It's just means it's a game that's not part of the "main series". In this case, it was just a little experiment using the Mega Man 8 engine on 16-bit hardware. --Dez26 15:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dez26 (talk • contribs)

Article needs a title change

Take a look at the cover art. The name's official title is "Megaman and Bass." Not "Mega Man." The one-word spelling is the one officially used in this title and the article shold be reflective of such.--Josh (talk) 05:10, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Cart size

It's actually 32 megabits, not 24. I have the Super Famicom version, don't know about the GBA one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.130.22.154 (talk) 08:42, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Reviewer: SCB '92 (talk · contribs) 22:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

It's been up for GAN for over 60 days, so let's review

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Are you sure it's supposed to read Super Nintendo when it was only released on the Super Famicom in Japan?

    Done — Hibana (talk) 13:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Does Japan, North America and CDs really need to be wikilinked?

    Done — Hibana (talk) 13:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   I think the retrieval date format needs to be the same as the publishing date format

    Done — Hibana (talk) 13:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Looks alright

   C. No original research:

   Looks okay

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Looks fine

   B. Focused:

   Looks good

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   no problems here

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   no issues here

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   Looks nice

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Looks great

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   the retrieval date format is my only major concern; I'm giving you a week, but it shoudln't take long it's a pass

Composers

Kirikiri-Chan is not Toshihiko Horiyama, per a conversation on Akari Kaida's Facebook page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dissident93 (talk • contribs) 03:28, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Is it right to list this game as a handheld spin-off?

The game was originally on the Super Famicom, and even though that version was only released in Japan, it should still be classified as a home console game. Kingpinn2 (talk) 21:54, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
