@Jago-Vs-Fulgore That game is awesome except for the fact I dont have 10 straight hours to put on it and therews simply NO WAYS to save our fucking progress on a PC GAME??? God that guy did a great job but also did a AWFUL job at forgetting about Passwords that every mega man games used to have when defeating X boss OR adding a god damn save method. Ive killed Chun li, blanka,ryu and rolento 3 times each already and Im sick and tired of repeating the process.

The game is stupid short man. Each map takes no more than 5 mins. The bosses are SUPER easy and require no real effect. Except for Vega.. Give it a shot. Will take no longer than an hour to beat this game. Honestly i could be it from beginning to end in 30mins.

@Jago-Vs-Fulgore @GamerOuTLaWz It took me about 6 hours to beat the game. I stuck at where you fight 8 bosses for the second time without having E tank to replenish HP. It's amazing for a fan to create game this good, but there's still a few flaws(like E tank disappear for good after using it in 8 bosses fight stage).

@GamerOuTLaWz @Jago-Vs-Fulgore Press up until you don't choose any weapon (that when you choose Megaman basic weapon) then click shoot button in menu screen.

@PinchySkree Executive meddling kicked in after X5, which is where the series was supposed to end.

It's a shame that Capcom has no idea what to do with Megaman. Whatever they released would sell. If they made a Megaman 11 it would sell well (and cost nothing). A new entry in the X series would sell really well, even more considering it could be multiplatfor,. Other than that they have the Battle Network and Legends series, which are also very successful.

They have so many different and successful spin-offs but they don't know what to do with them. Capcom has been going downhill ever since Keiji Inafune left the company.

Mega Man X FTW! I adore those series and I'm super sad that they stopped with Maverick Hunter X on the psp. I was hoping for more remakes seeing how there is a small chance that X9 will ever come...

Wait, why did they/you/he use the wrong music to not only the wrong stage, but also the wrong game? Just, flashman's theme on gemini's stage? Why?

Why did they cancel Megaman Legeds 3. It showed a lot of promise :(

I love Mega Man and still play Rockman 2-5 on my Famicom from time to time.

I would personally love to see a new Mega Man game more akin to Mega Man 8, keeping the old tride-and-true gameplay, but with high-res hand-drawn pixel art. Really as long as it has a kickass soundtrack and doesn't mess with the formula too much I would be happy. Also, RESURRECT MM LEGENDS 3 CAPCOM, WTF!?

Great video!

The later Mega Man pllatformers have become seriously underrated so I suggest that the series should just stick to what it does best.
