If I might be allowed to break from the third-person for a moment: Wow, that was quick. I knew when I posted about the 1UP Cover Story yesterday that I a few of my own writings would come up, but I didn’t expect them so soon– much less two on the same day. If you […]

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. For this entry, I’ll be looking Mega Man 5, a game that makes up for its lack of innovation with “Nintendo Hard” difficulty. While Mega Man […]

After the Doc Robot stages, we enter a stage titled “Break Man,” where we fight a ~mysterious~ robot who fights exactly like Proto Man, with the exception that he is immune to all special weapons. This one’s similar to the fight in Hard Man’s stage, except we have more room to slide on the upper […]

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. For this entry, I’ll be looking at Mega Man 4, a game that receives much criticism for both trying new things and for making the Mega […]

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. For this entry, I’ll be looking Mega Man 3, a game that gets nearly as much love as its predecessor. Mega Man 3 builds upon the […]

Each of the revisited stages contains two fights with Doc Robot K-176, who takes on the attack pattern of one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. These aren’t quite the same, as Doc’s sprite is bigger than even Wood Man, and he’s often slightly more difficult in other ways. However, we’ve got a […]

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. For this entry, I’ll be looking Mega Man 2, arguably the game that in many ways, set the course for the Classic series and beyond. To […]

“There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country.” -Joseph Addison “In truth there is no such thing in man’s nature as a settled and full resolve either for good or evil, except at the very […]

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. This time, I’m looking at the original Mega Man game and what makes it a notable and fun game so many years later. As I look […]

Editor’s Note: We have something different going on with the pics now; just click to enlarge. One oddity about Mega Man 3‘s boss fights is that each one takes four damage from its own weapon. They also have minor (two damage) weaknesses to weapons other than their main weakness, but I’m going to avoid talking […]

Over on video game humor site Dueling Analogs is a list of “Games I am sad were never made,” and two of those games feature the Blue Bomber. One is Mega Man Legends 3, and there isn’t much to be said about that which hasn’t been said already. The other is “Mega Man Ultimate Collection,” […]
