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 […]

Mega Man 2.5D – March Update 2012

It’s been a little while since we last saw anything from Peter Sjostrand’s Mega Man 2.5D fan game (though Gamasutra did interview the composer, Magnus ‘Souleye’ Palsson, last year), but a new update has been posted to YouTube. Check it out: They note that this serves as a project update and shows off some development […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Dr. Wily Stage 1

With the fall of Fire Man ending the threat of the Robot Masters, all that is left is to find Dr. Wily in his four-level fortress. The Wily stages have two pieces of music for all four, so here’s a link to both, plus the boss music. Wily Stage 1 Now, Wily stages should have […]

Editorial: What Made Mega Man Classic Fun?

When Mega Man’s creator, Keiji Inafune, spoke recently at the Game Developer’s Conference, he discussed the need for Japanese video game companies to reinvent the brands that brought them so much success in previous years. While we still do not know what the future will bring, it makes sense at this time to reflect on […]

Mega Man Puts the Joy Back Into ‘Joystick’

We accidentally wound up sitting on this story for a bit, and to Undamned, we apologize for that. Nonetheless, “b15sdm” had a Frank West joystick he was trying to sell at the Shouryken.com forums. When that didn’t take, he changed it to the “more universal” theme of Mega Man to increase its odds. And according […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Fire Man

After skirting the razor’s edge in Cut Man’s stage, we blaze forward to Fire Man’s stage (with its music). We start off going through a few corridors with Screwdrivers. There’s not much to these when they’re all level with you, but they at least make you walk over one of them. The next part is […]
