Looking Back: Mega Man II
As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Mega Man series. This time, I’m looking at the black sheep of the Game Boy sub-series, Mega Man II. Unlike all the other Game Boy games, Mega Man II was developed by a team from […]

Drill Man’s Stage and Music The first section is filled with Taketentos and Metalls, with a Jumbig breaking it up in the middle. This is a good pairing, as Taketento appears close enough to the Mets to make it difficult to avoid and shoot them without also alerting the Mets or moving far enough back […]

Skull Man’s Stage and Music This right here is Super Ball Machine Jr. It fires large balls that bounce from the walls, increasing in speed with each bounce. Unfortunately that feature doesn’t come into play much, as walking forward while shooting is enough to handle most of them. The one on top gets a little […]

Dust Man’s Stage and Music Here we’ve got three new enemies. Shield Attacker moves back and forth, and can only be hit from behind. Metall EX jumps now instead of walking after he fires, and Up’N’Down pops out of the holes in the floor, then drifts down slowly. They all appear by themselves and aren’t […]

Title Music Stage Select Music So here we are at Mega Man 4. It’s got a nice intro showing us the story thus far, another round of silly Robot Masters to fight, and a new mysterious villain. Nowadays, this one is often considered the turning point of the...A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 vs. Mega Man 3
Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 are often considered the best of the series, with 2 as perhaps the more popular choice. So, before we move on, I’d like to compare these games overall. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Wily Stage 4 Meet Junk Golem. Junk Golem drops into the screen when Mega Man gets close, then starts hurling blocks of trash at high speed directly at him. These can be dodged by sliding or jumping, but they also explode, and the pieces can trap us against the wall if...Looking Back: Mega Man 10
