On this edition of Retro Corner, let's take a break from the hype around Avengers: Infinity War as I have an old review. When I started my website, I written a review for the first Mega Man game on the NES two-years ago. The reason I'm bringing this review up is because four months ago Capcom announced Mega Man 11. Unlike with Mega Man 9 and 10 where Capcom designed them using 8-bit style graphics, this time they gave this title a massive upgrade to 3D. By using 3D ensures that the game will receive updated gameplay as well as its art style and not become the next Mighty No.9. So from now until its release, I will be reviewing one or two games from the classic series leading up to 11th installment every month.
Mega Man 1 was a game I never played during my youth nor did I try the others titles aside the Mega Man X series. The first game was a sleeper hit and it's because Capcom of America blotched its release in 1987. It was thanks to word of mouth from gamers in 1987 that helped get it a sequel a year later and that would only take Mega Man to new heights. Usually, the first game is always mentioned not for being a sleeper hit but known to have the worst box art in the history of gaming. I refuse to even post an image of it as it poorly represents the Blue Bomber's debut. It wasn't until 2004 when Capcom released the Mega Man Anniversary Collection on PS2, GameCube, and Xbox when I finally played it. Of course, I got the GameCube version and also giving me a chance to play the entire classic series. The collection was great as it included 1 through 8 and two arcade games that never came here to North America called the Power Fighters 1 and 2. The first entry isn't as popular as its sequels or for sending the Blue Bomber into stardom but the series began here. Mega Man 1 (NES) Review
