Mega Man 6: Games
built 246 days ago
The sixth Mega Man game was the last one for the NES, but it sure left the NES with style. An excellent game with more items and secrets than ever awaited those daring enough to put this game into their NES. This is more "adventurous" than the first five Mega Man games due to the multiple routes in several stages. There are plenty of new items in this game .... Your faithful dog Rush will now transform into AWESOME armor and a jet suit thanks to Dr.Light. If you can manage to find the four BEAT parts, the helpful robotic bird will once again come to the Blue Bomber's aid.

Three more Mega Man games were released on the NES, each following the standard formula. A whopping five were released on the original Game Boy; while the first four reused bosses from Mega Man 1-5 on the NES, each one had at least one brand new boss character to fight. Mega Man IV ... added P-Chips, which enabled you to buy items for Mega Man. Mega Man V had completely new bosses, and is notable for two reasons: the boss names don't end in "Man" (they're all named after planets instead), and this is the only original series Mega Man game where Dr. Wily is not the final boss! These five games were slated to be part of a Mega Man Anniversary Collection on the GBA, completely colorized, with unlockable material to boot. However, the game has fallen into development limbo, with no word on any real release. It's safe to say it'll never see the light of day, sadly.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection is an absolute steal at 30 bucks. For a mere 30 dollars you are getting 8 of the best 2D platformers ever created, plus 2 more secret games that you have to earn. The Mega Man games have a unique kind of difficulty that you don’t see in a while lot of games; it’s the kind of difficulty that drives you forward. Each time you fall in a pit, you become more determined to get further. It’s this kind of difficulty that makes you proud to say you beat a Mega Man game. Mega Man is definitely one of the best games of its kind, and whether you’re new to the series or have them memorized forwards and backwards you can’t go wrong with this title.

... Mega Man Zero begins, the latest offshoot of Capcom's Mega Man franchise. Here, the beam saber-wielding Reploid Zero awakens from a very long sleep to help out the Resistance. Unlike all of the other Mega Man games, Mega Man is not a playable character at all! It's all Zero. The "Mega Man" in the title is just for association purposes, since it does take place in the same timeline. But don't worry...Mega Man X makes appearances.

See, Mega Manï¾’s simplicity is the key to Mega Manï¾’s charm. The games create a perfect mix of action and strategy by simply upgrading your weaponry as you defeat boss character after boss character. So eventually, youï¾’ll find yourself testing to see what enemies are susceptible to what weapon, and applying new strategies to each level as new weapons are acquired. Everything then comes to a head, putting your completely upgraded Mega Man to the final test with a multi-stage Dr. Wily castle or two. This entire experience, enhanced by the seriesï¾’ quality graphics, sounds and tight play control, is why Mega Man titles are revered by fans. Itï¾’s why Capcom is celebrating the characterï¾’s 15 year anniversary in the first place.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection does a good job of catering to both people who want to play the games unaltered from their original forms and those who might like to see some stuff remixed. Both options are available in this collection; you can play the games the way they appeared and played originally, or you can turn on Navi Mode, which remixes the experiences for Mega Man 1-6 a little (Mega Man 7 and 8 remain unchanged). In Navi Mode, the games themselves remain generally unchanged, but all the onscreen energy bars get a facelift to look more like the spiffy ones in Mega Man 8, and the selection menus in Mega Man 1-3 ... get completely revamped and cleaned up. Additionally, onscreen directions (usually courtesy of Mega Man’s buddies Eddie and Beat) appear occasionally to point the player in the right direction where the safest or most beneficial path (or the path period) through a stage may not be made entirely clear. Finally, Navi Mode also provides you with frequent, numerous in-game hints that can be accessed by pausing the game when an exclamation point appears at the bottom of the screen, kind of like Alia’s optional hints in Mega Man X6. The problem is, these “hints” are usually all too obvious or, even worse, horrendously translated; again, hearkening back to those “hints” X got from Alia in X6.
