A new era for Mega Man
On the NES and the other platforms where Mega Man made its name known, it sure looked cartoonish, unpretentious and was kind of on the harder side of platformers. But it was never unfair, though it asked you to master your character, and its abilities, no matter what actual Mega man you picked, fairly well, to manage the different levels/missions. However, many were still in love with the games, but they wanted a version that felt current, modern, and Capcom surely delivered in 2005, with this game, a modern, colorful, glazing and speedy adaptation, that will overexcite and make your heart skip a beat! In a way, some of the innocent charm of the originals is lost, but on the other, this hyper charged version still shines and still has a worthy place in the game realm. So, without a question, those that love current trends of indie platformers will appreciate this one as well. Not in the sense where Mega Man X8 would explore some weird temporal mechanic or some other gimmick, but in the sense where the graphical ante is upped a lot and where the gameplay will remind you of the older titles, having that something, mathematical, feel wise, I don't know, that made the older titles stand out. Very enjoyable, but maybe to modern for some...
