| - In a world full of copycats and pretenders to the throne discover the classic franchise that inspired them all by beating our collective ass since the 1980's. Mega Man Experience a series older than most gamers that taught children the meaning of patience, frustration, and earning your victories through the medium of brutal platforming, relentless enemies, and occasional total bullsh!t. Fight the never-ending battles of Mega Man: A spandex boy/robot hybrid stuck in a proxy war between Dr. Santa Claus and his suspiciously well-funded Nega-Einstein that is clearly leading towards a Terminator style dystopia. But for now, plays out as a series of bright colored platforming levels ending in themed boss fights that got weirder the longer the series went on. Until the obligatory showdown with Wily. Whose world domination schemes are both painfully stupid and also probably going to actually happen someday. Okay so maybe we still have a couple years left. Slide your way through the traditional side-scrolling gameplay of Megaman as you blast your way through hundreds of googly-eyed robots while avoiding spikes, bullets, and your own lack of hand-eye coordination until you finally absorb a boss's powers and try to figure out which of the next bosses will have that power as a weakness. Huh, are snakes weaker against needles or ninjas? I don't even want to know what I have to do to beat Hardman. Get equipped with 30 years of the Blue Bomber. A series with so many entries, spin-offs, and side games it's almost impossible to keep track of them all. But we're gonna try. From the classic platformers that were harder than diamond... Man. And the modern sequels that try to recapture the magic. To the edgy X series that turned the anime dial up to 11. All those handheld Mega Men's. The Legends games that blended 3-D action RPGs with a cutting-edge can-kicking simulator. Robot soccer because why the f*ck not? The Battle Network games that mixed Mega Man, cards, and a grid-based RPG because drugs. The handheld Zero series that was the Dark Souls of an already Dark Souls level series. The spin-offs where you play as a horrible human/Mega Man hybrid and as a pirate lady with Lego servants? That one where you kill zombies as a human man. The cameos in other video games. The cancelled games that you wanted but can never get. That wild Japanese stuff that they'll never translate. And finally, now that they're fully out of ideas, the anniversary collections and garbage spiritual sequels that will bum you out faster than an anime fan on prom night. So charge up that blaster and hop your way through some old-school satisfaction that hurts so good, it'll make you shatter your controller. F*cking sh*t! Just like the old days! I'm gonna go punch my dick with a power glove to cool off.
