Mega Man - The Wily Wars (1994) Review



Mega Man – The Wily Wars (1994)

I enjoyed this game although I only played through part 1 thus far.  I’ve beaten Mega Man 2 via a mobile phone.  I have never played Mega Man 3.  I thought the port looked great.  It controls nicely.  You lack some of the moves Mega Man can do in later editions.  It was an overall quaint experience.  I will attempt to beat Mega Man 2 on this as well.  I also beat Mega Man 2 on an emulator.  Growing up I saw these games being played moreso than playing them myself on the original NES.  I’ve never owned or beaten a Mega Man game on the original console.  Much less a Mega Man X Title.  I did beat Mega Man Legends for the original Playstation when I borrowed my cousin’s system for a few months.  I find it underappreciated as I think it’s as worthwhile as any Mega Man title there has been.  The best one I played though is Mega Man 2.  The ‘Wily Wars’ is a collection comprised of the first 3 Mega Man games remastered for the original Sega Genesis.  I believe it was only available in Europe upon initial release.

Rating:  8.8/10

This game is currently available as part of Sega Genesis Expansion on the Switch 1 and 2.

Review of every Playero album ever

Image
 My bad.  Sorry for the long delay in posts.  I have heard every Playero album ever.  I even heard that fake greatest hits bootleg that they used to sell in New York, though I think I heard Playero bootlegged it himself because BM Records wouldn't put it out.  It's a lot of them, and yes these will all be official albums.  I will not include albums that Playero produced mostly like Yankee's debut "No Mercy" or Rey Pirin's "The Professional".  I will only include albums where Playero is presented as the lead producer.  I will include The Legend as a bonus because the internet relabeled that one as a Playero album even though DJ Goldy made just as many or possibly more beats on it.  These albums are listed chronologically.   I will start with Playero 34 as that is when he began recording original Reggaeton artists like Daddy Yankee, Ranking Stone, Lisa M and others... Playero 1 -33 (198x-1992) - There will be no review of these. ...

Ozuna & Beelé - Stendhal (2025) Review by El Funky Bae and general opinions about Afrobeat

Image
Man, I don't know how to write this without offending.  That is because in places like Honduras, Panama, and Colombia with heavy Afrocentric influences, Latinos, not just black either, have adopted the Afrobeat Riddim as their own.  This is akin to how in the 1980's, Afrocentric influenced Latinos in Panama created Reggaeton by making the first Spanish Language Dancehall Reggae songs.  Renato in particular is the prime example.  El "Afrito" might be on the cusp of revolutionizing Latin Music as we know it.  However, I greatly doubt it. I think Afrobeat is awesome but I am too ignorant on its history to make any valid assessment of it.  I think Paul Simon made Afrobeat in the 80's with "Graceland", but back then the rhythms had less of a dancehall/soca sound I think?  But I did read the Wikipedia entry and recorded Afrobeat is nothing new.  The genre has been around since the 1970's. If people are wondering why all of a sudden such a big interest i...

DJ Frank - Presuntos Implacables (1997)

Image
  For lovers of the old school Playero Style Reggaeton, those who went beyond the Big Boy and El General music of the day may be familiar with DJ Frank as he was considered one of the top DJ's/Producers in the game during the era.  Known for his collaborations with DJ Joe and OG Black, his most internationally recognized work was "Time To Kill II" in 2003 which featured big hits from Mexicano 777, Don Omar, Hector El Father, Don Chezina, Ivy Queen among others...  And perhaps even more known is Guatauba 2000 from 1999 which though it sold low due to limited distribution within Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republicn and parts of the USA;  the hit single "Reggaetonic" by Don Chezina and Rey Pirin is one of the most famous Reggaeton songs from the 90's and continues to gain much traction over 25 years later.  DJ Frank produced "Reggaetonic" alongside the great DJ Joe. DJ Frank was known for his creative sampling over strong Reggaeton Dembow and/or Rap b...
