User blog:J. Severe/Mega Man's 25th Anniversary

So 25 years ago, Capcom released Mega Man on the NES featuring this guy



who actually looked like this



which is really this



and sometimes this



It expanded into a series which became really popular and had a bunch of awesome spin-offs like this



and this



Despite Mega Man becoming an iconic video game character in the industry ala Mario and Sonic though, Capcom's treated the series pretty badly the last few years, causing games like this



and this



to end up like this



and the only meaningful things the Blue Bomber has been in recently were this



and this crappy iOS game



But now they seem to have had a change of heart, as they are celebrating this



by releasing these



on the 3DS eShop and published this fan game



which you can download from here



Please do, as Capcom is using it to gauge interest in the franchise. Only YOU can make sure we have more games with this guy



that aren't this



and don't end up like this



Thanks for reading!
