Mega Man is a Japanese science fiction video game franchise developed and published by Capcom, featuring the protagonist of the same name. The original game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987, and spawned a franchise that expanded to over 50 games on multiple systems. As of July 2024, the series has sold 42 million units worldwide. Mega Man has been popular among gamers and has been reimagined and evolved as a video game character for over 30 years.
The original Mega Man series, dubbed Classic Mega Man marks the start of the franchise, released on the NES on December 17, 1987. In the original series, Mega Man is an android originally named Rock, created as a lab assistant by the scientist Dr. Light with Dr. Wily as his partner. Following treachery by Dr. Wily in which he reprogrammed most of Dr. Light’s robots, Rock volunteered to be converted into a fighting robot to defend the world from Wily’s violent robotic threats, thus becoming Mega Man.
The Classic series has not reached a definite conclusion. Originally developed for the NES, the original Mega Man series experienced graphical improvements in fourth and fifth-generation installments. The series had no games developed for sixth-generation consoles but returned in the seventh generation purposely sporting graphics, sound, and gameplay similar to the original NES games to inspire a nostalgic look and feel, distributed as downloadable content instead of retail games like the previous installments.
One of the best things about playing older video games, is that I get to relive my childhood. I remember sitting in front of the TV, with my brother, and playing Mega Man for hours, trying to get to the end, figuring out the best course of action to take, hanging on until the end and seeing the end of the story. Mega Man will always hold a special place in my heart, and some of the tracks used in this game series are still some of my favorite video game tunes of all time. In these sessions, not only will I play the first 8 Mega Man games, but play the 3 I never got around to play, Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10 and Mega Man 11 (11 was released in 2018). If you have never played any of these games, you’ll quickly learn why Mega Man is one of the most enduring and captivating heros in the video game universe. WITH THAT SAID: Mega Man 8 is ABSOLUTE TRASH and I will DIE on that hill!
