Move Over, Sonic; It’s Mega Man and X’s Show Now!

Fans have long compared the similarities between SEGA and Capcom’s two iconic heroes, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man. Both are blue heroes who fight evil scientists who send wave after wave of robot armies after them, and are frequently shown up by their red-hued allies. We could probably go on, but you get the […]

Here’s something to think about for fun: We’ve already seen Super Smash Bros. Brawl come and go with no appearance from Mega Man, and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale doesn’t seem to have anyone from the world of the Blue Bomber, either (maybe next time).
