Mega Man

August 25th, 2008




With its recent release on the Virtual Console and the impending release of Mega Man 9 (which I'm rather excited about), this seems like the perfect time to tackle the original Mega Man on the Game Club.

Now's your chance to play (or replay) the game that launched a franchise that has lasted over 20 years.



The game is available to play on the NES (of course) or for 500 points on the Wii's Virtual Console. You can also get it on the PS2, Xbox, or GameCube by picking up Mega Man Anniversary Collection.

We'll be discussing the game in Episode 98. Leave your comments here or on our voicemail line at 713-893-8069.
