Japanese Rocker GACKT Finally Completes Mega Man 2 After 6 Months of Gaming

Nestlé (yes, the food and beverage company) have released another "Game Center" video, where Japanese singer GACKT is challenged to play a video game every day.

Well, it was a long and arduous journey. But after six grueling months and 37 frustration-filled videos, GACKT has FINALLY defeated the final boss of Mega Man 2. If there was a world record for how many times a person can fail at this game, GACKT would win it. So it's nice to see the guy succeed for a change. His next challenge will be Mega Man 3.

Unrelated to the article, but you know what was a great game? Fighting Force. Used to play the cap or of that game on my ps1 when I was a kid.

click on the link. take time to poste a comment... say they dont care.....

ok then.

Stories about GACKT are popping up on this site all the time now. It's weird. Even my Japanese friends don't know who GACKT is. That's why we post comments. Because this is a very odd thing to put on N4G.

And no, I didn't click on the link.

how old are your japanese friends?

just a little strange they dont know who gackt is. weel he was very popular around the year 2000. moon child was a pretty decent film.

tbh. not much people care about him playing these games especially people in the west and i dont think we need to see him anymore on n4g.

same as other people on youtube.

Your Japanese friends must not be familiar with pop culture because Gackt is one of the most popular singers in Japan and has been around for almost 2 decades. He isnt just some run of the mill pop star who disappears after 2 or 3 years. He has been at the top of the charts for a very long time and is considered one of the most influential singers in Japan. A Japanese person saying they have never heard of Gackt is like an American person saying they have never heard of Madonna.

I love it when people claim they don't care yet they waste time telling others about it.

Apparently a good number of people. The man seems to be famous after all.

i havent gotten into megaman (sad, i know). anyone care to recommend an epic journey for me? (ps1, psp classics)

Mega Man 9 and 10 are great, imo. They are digital downloads for PS3, if that is an option for you. It is exactly what the old Mega Man games are, but without nostalgia. Thus making them excellent choices to start with since the graphics are the same as the original.

If you want to start off with the originals for the sake of doing so, I would specifically recommend Mega Man 3. I just like all of the bosses.

The game(whichever one) is pure gameplay, and will kick your ass. It takes a while to master it. But the first time you make it to a boss feels great. Then the first time you beat just one boss, just feels so rewarding. Don't be discouraged by the difficulty. Always try and learn from your mistake, and eventually you will conquer it.

wow, its that hard huh? i appreciate the advice, and as much as i wanted to go Megaman3, the whole internet pointed to #2. i usually go woth whatppl say on here but they werent messing around lol. ill let u know wha i think.

[N4g_null]

Imagine that play time... all 6 months of it!

[AceBlazer13]

can try jumping into the x series. Maverick Hunter X would be a good place to start(a remake of megaman x for psp) it's available on the ps store i believe.

[hkgamer]

just play as many games as possible. it cant be too expensive. best to play the from the time they were released. then you get to understand the new things they added.

think that should be the same rule for all series.

I guess this just goes to show that hard work can make a casual into a skilled core.
Hope he gains a newfound appreciation for difficult games through this and expands his horizons.

[hkgamer]

sadly its all about the viewership and sponsors. i dont think he cares too much about gaming. how much free time can he actually have to do this?

[N4g_null]

Someone needs to welcome him to the fold. We where all casuals once!
