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 […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Cut Man

After blasting through Bomb Man‘s stage, we now arrive at Cut Man’s stage (Music). Cut Man starts of with a few platforms and Helis. The stage is also filled with blocks that can be picked up with the Super Arm, strongly hinting at the boss’s weakness. The next section is defended by two Mambus, one […]

Street Fighter X Tekken’s Producer Explains Mega Man’s Gut and Special Moves

During an interview with Siliconera, Street Fighter X Tekken Producer Yoshinori Ono talked a bit about the decision he and former Mega Man Producer Keiji Inafune made to include this version of the character. Or rather, the decision to tweak the design as they have. “Mega Man’s… aged since his picture was taken and used […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Bomb Man

Following Elec Man, we proceed to Bomb Man’s Stage (and its music). Right away, a Blaster jumps into our face. Then a bunch more. Combined with the staggered terrain, this is already among the best couple screens we’ve seen so far. The exploding thing is a Bombombomb (henceforth referred to as a bomb because nuts […]

Talking About the Future of Mega Man: Possibilities and Impossibilities

First up is a seemingly unrelated tip from Mugen Shiro, who passes along an Andriasang article about Nintendo’s plans to revive SEGA’s Dreamcast oddity Seaman as […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Elec Man

Continuing from where we left off with Ice Man, we now move on to Elec Man’s Stage (and his accompanying music). We start out having to climb a few platforms guarded by Gabyoalls. While somewhat difficult, doing this here immediately lets the player know whether this is a stage they’ll want to attempt now, as […]
