The game was very black, which isn't Mega Man to me. If I had any complaints about the design last time, it would probably be that the levels were a bit colorless.

Pixels are art, and it was great to hear Capcom's composers working within the constraints put on them by the NES sound chip again. The controls will never be that wonderfully precise if the levels aren't rendered with such clarity. Capcom went back to its roots, not only because it was retro-cool, but because Mega Man thrives in glorious 8-bit. Sheep Man, Commando Man, Blade Man, Strike One, Solar One, Chill Man, Nitro Man and Pump It stare at me from the screen that let me choose which of them I'll start out with, before I pick Sheep Man and another Mega Man adventure begins.Īfter Mega Man 2 (one of the best games ever) the 2008 hit Mega Man 9 is probably my favorite in the classic series. Wily is supposed to be innocent this time, Capcom tells us, but wise from experience I know that the last boss will be the good old doctor anyway. A bunch of robots are running wild, which has something to do with the robot virus Roboenza.
