How’s that for a comparison, did it catch you off guard? In some ways he’s kind of like the Antonio Banderas of video games.
In some ways he’s almost like the celebrity in the gaming universe that still has a chance to be popular but isn’t quite hitting the same level that he became accustomed to during the peak of his career. Mega Man’s been around longer than a lot of current gamers have been alive, and he’s gone through a startling number of games and appearances in his time. Even when a game had just come out at that point the idea was already in place that it might not last that long because let’s face it, anything new gets old after a few tries and if it’s too hard to pass you either become determined to beat it just to spite the computer or you give up because it’s taking up too much of your time. Mega Man was one of those games you didn’t think much about even when you were playing. He’s also been around for three decades now, having been released by Capcom in 1987. He’s known as Rockman in Japan, which is kind of odd to Americans but we can go with it. Obviously he holds a lot more power than it looks like but overall it seems like Mega Man’s popularity is due more to the fact that he looks like a regular person despite the wealth of weaponry he carries around. It might be that since his outer design is so simple and not too challenging that he appeals to more people simply because he doesn’t look threatening at all. I’m betting more than one person went through at least one or more controllers in their lifetime thanks to Mega Man.ĭespite that this video game gem has never sat on the shelf for long since he still has a lot of devoted fans that are more than happy to keep playing and to follow his adventures. As fun as it was it could also be soul-crushing to almost get to the next level and then have your hopes dashed by one little misstep. At least the narrator got one thing right, this game used to be murder to play. In Mega Man’s case it seems like overkill. Maybe honesty isn’t always the best policy.
