![]() ![]() And of course, comes the game itself, for the veteran fans out there "Mega Man" is still "Mega Man" and that's the way we want it. ![]() To this day a lot of game developers homebrew, indie, and even mainstream utilized all the practices now, so now they'll never be lost. This game along with many others broke that rule for good and it makes sense when you think about it, even when video games continue to evolve throughout the years doesn't mean certain practices themselves have to be. This was something unheard of or sought after at the time, most of the time with the progression and development of video games they just continue to go with one graphical presentation and methodology and simply move on once the next one comes along. Part of what makes this game stand out is the fact that it was a return to form the fact that you see this game in the original retro graphical presentation. Though for the rookies to the franchise this game would be a good history lesson and gateway game into the franchise or even just platform action games in general. But also, it felt like a visit to one of those retro arcade places which has all the good pinball machines and retro arcade games that just make you feel like you're a kid, teen or whatever young age of your choice again and you've came back to that old video arcade that you use to go to. I'll admit when I first played this game it felt like a wiff of fresh air. This was a sequel a long time coming, and you could say this game came at a time when long time coming sequels started to become prevalent from "Blade Runner 2040" and "Top Gun Maverick". It wasn't until the age of the Nintendo Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 me along with a lot of other Mega Man fan's prayers have been answered and thankfully didn't disappoint. I personally thought we would have had one at the time of the PS2 and Xbox but nope. I've been a fan of the franchise for years from childhood to even adulthood, after the eighth "Mega Man" entry (story for another time) for the PS1, we haven't had another entry for years. I'll admit when I heard and saw the release of this entry it took me by surprise, and it was a pleasant surprise. This is another of my favorite entries of the series and on my list of favorite video games of all time. In the film "Skyfall" it's said that the old ways are sometimes still the best ways.
