Looking Back: Mega Man 8

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 Classic series.

Final Nintendo Power is On Its Way

After months of watching the last few remaining grains of sand fall through the hourglass, the time has finally come, and I still don’t know what to say as the final issue of Nintendo Power magazine– Volume 285, December 2012– is officially on its way and now reaching the hands of subscribers.

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Dr. Wily Stage 2

Wily Stage 2 Here we see a return of the floating platforms from the second visit to Shadow Man’s stage, except this time they act only as a minor annoyance on the way to a few more items. There’s a split in the path with one way leading to an extra life, but unlike previous […]
