![]() ![]() Then again, it’s a perfect example of the tough-as-nails classic game design that I grew up adoring back in the day. It specifically had one area where the platforming portion had me bouncing off walls, not just within the stage itself but also inside my head, because of how annoyingly maddening it was. Having played the latest entry in the series, what does this Mega Man veteran think about the newest addition to the Blue Bomber’s library? First off, I would just like to say that there’s a special place in (something that rhymes with bell) for whoever designed Bounce Man’s stage. After seeing success with the release of several Mega Man classic collections, the company finally announced Mega Man 11. Fortunately, Capcom has been on a tear lately when it comes to renewing its older intellectual properties and reclaiming lost goodwill from its old-school fans. Needless to say, that didn’t quite pan out like I hoped it would. I was so starved for classic Mega Man that I didn’t hesitate to heartily jump on former Mega Man overseer Keiji Inafune’s Mighty No. After seeing major releases each year during the 1990s, the spigot for classic Mega Man games slowed down to a trickle starting in the mid-2000s. As shooters and 3D adventure games gained prominence in the gaming industry, however, side-scrolling action games started losing favor. I would end up buying every mainline Mega Man game that would be released after that, with Mega Man 2 and the offshoot Mega Man Legends games being my favorites in the series. There’s just something about its perfect combination of challenging platforming and shooting, combined with the ability to steal your foes’ abilities that I found incredibly enjoyable. ![]() Lesson learned.Īnother thing I learned was how fun it was to play Mega Man. All I can say is, never prevent an Asian lady from watching her favorite Asian dramas. ![]() That was the first and only time I ever got yelled at by my grandma. Guess who she found playing Mega Man in her little straw hut? And I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling hibiscus. I would later find out that my grandma searched for the darn thing for three days inside her big, Spanish-style house before giving up and deciding to water her plants in the garden instead. So, I took my grandma’s television from her room, got a super long extension cord and moved the TV to a small hut in her garden so I could play Mega Man all day without being interrupted.
