The Ultimate Mega Man Retrospective.


Recognise every Mega Man character above?

With the recent confirmation of Capcom that Mega Man 9 will only appear on Wii(no other platforms have been announced but I think sooner or later Xbox 360 and PS3 will get their shares of Mega Man 9 too), it is time for us to look back at the series that has spawned over 100 different games over 20 years.

This 7 pages retrospective from Gameradar has mainly described the games of Mega Man series consisting from Mega Man 1 to Mega Man 8 like telling some major updates in every game and some notable stages and bosses(who can forget Snake Man?). It also features many spinoffs(and some unbeknown to me, like the Mega Man board game on NES)like the famous-than-original-megaman Mega Man ZX, the first Mega Man that made its first foray into 3d world, Mega Man Legend.

This is a retrospective that you should not miss if you are the fan of the series and waiting for the upcoming Mega Man 9, and even if you are not, it serves as good info to introduce you to this already famous side scrolling games. Really, every gamer out there should try at least one Mega Man game, as it has spawned so many games and ventured into so many genres that it is not possible if you cant find one Mega Man game that you like.
