Previously, I covered the concepts that made the Mega Man Classic series fun. This week, I narrow down the one pivotal game that changed that series and set it on a new direction. While Mega Man 2 introduced and refined a few overarching concepts that became series staples, it was Mega Man IV for the Game Boy […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Dr. Wily Stage 3

With Copy Mega Man out of the way, Wily Stage 3 is next. Stage 3 starts you right under a Suzy, and rest of this section is a series of drops with Suzys and Mambus. The second screen isn’t dangerous, but the Suzys in the third start moving right away, so you have to react […]

IGN Staff Attempt to Break into the Robot Master-making Business

Recently, some of IGN’s staff had an opportunity to meet real-life Mega Man father-figure Keiji Inafune. Naturally, they did what many of us have wanted to do over the years… Unfortunately for them, it seems they forgot that Inafune no longer has anything to do with the Mega Man series, though he’ll clearly pretend if […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Dr. Wily Stage 2

After the defeat of the Yellow Devil, it’s on to Wily Stage 2. Stage 2 puts you in front of a gap with a Heli flying over it. Two more appear when you get to the edge, so it’s best to wait for the second one to come to you before jumping. Not bad, but […]
