Nintendo Part 2: (Mega Man)

And so we move on to one of the greatest franchises of all time...Mega Man. In fact, its so great that capcom released Mega Man 9 and 10 within the last few years, which tickles me to no end.

So we only borrowed the first one so we never had it. Thats probably ok since it was pretty dang hard even for mega man standards. In fact, we never had Mega Man 2 back in the day. But... in the year of 20XX the series kicked into full gear and we borrowed that one a ton! A pinnacle in 8 bit music, and difficult but conquerable gameplay, Mega Man 2 stands as one of the greatest games of all time. The dragon (video was on easy mode...lame) at the end of the first Dr Wiley stage caused much frustration and elation when defeated.

We actually had Mega Man 3 and 4 when they came out. Both excellent games, building on the foundation of 2. Recently I got the Mega Man collection for Gamecube (playable on Wii) that has 1-8 on it. Its a party.

And as I mentioned, the 9 and 10 just came out. Heres to many more from the blue bomber.

-Fun fact, Mega Man is Rockman in Japan.
