History Of Mega Man Explored · Slashdot Mirror

Thanks to GameSpot for their large feature charting a comprehensive history of Capcom's Mega Man. The article explains: "Mega Man recently celebrated his 15th anniversary, and the Blue Bomber is showing no signs of giving up the fight for everlasting peace", and goes on to document more than 30 Mega Man-related titles, from the original NES version, which sported "totally appalling box art" in the States, through the 3D stylings of the Mega Man Legends series, and the VR-styled RPG gameplay of the Mega Man Battle Network series. The mammoth article ends on the hopeful: "Here's hoping Capcom sees fit to grace a current or future system with a good, honest 2D - or 2.5D, at the very most - Mega Man IX."

I looked for it but didn't find Cannon Spike (GunSpike in Japan) for Dreamcast on the list. Megaman is playable as a secret character in this 3-d rendered but mostly 2-D gameplay shooter.

Developed by Psikyo, and published by Capcom.
