The Making of an Old Man

Old man “Mega Man,” featured as a playable character in Street Fighter X Tekken, is perhaps old news by now. The game is out, jokes were made, and, barring any kind of return in future games, the curtain has closed. But that doesn’t mean Mega Man’s stomach isn’t still poking out a little. We’ve heard […]

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 […]
