We are starting to get used to launches being advance and catching us off guard. Recently Super Mario Run was announced for Android suddenly, when many thought the expectation it would be longer. For its part, Capcom had announced the reissue of the entire original saga of 6 games of Mega Man for iOS and Android from January 6 Today, the 5th, we already have them available, at 2 euros each, in the Play Store and in the App Store.
After years of waiting, fans of Mega Man, who until now could only enjoy on their mobile Rockbot for Android (a clone free designed in open source) or from Mega Man X for iOS (the 16-bit version of Mega Man that originally came out for the console Super Nintendo) already have a few guaranteed hours of fun and nostalgia with the release of Mega Man, Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 and Mega Man 6, both games originally developed for the NES between 1987 and 1993
As we can see, this edition replicates totally the original look of the six games, even with the muted colors of the time, resisting the temptation to update or improve any graphic aspect.From the gameplay to the sound, the gaming experience remains 100% as in the late 80s and early 90s, which may come as a surprise to those who then they see themselves disappointed and deceived by nostalgia.
The game requires placing the device in horizontal position, and far from including controls incorporated into the screen, the is respected original square image (then the only panoramic view that was available was the cinema) and there we will have an update of the original buttons, with an i Control interface designed in the style of Mega Man: instead of two colored buttons we have three, with the icons of jump, shoot y character change
The evil (and endless) robots of Dr.Wily, the company of Rush and relationship with Proto Manwill be for many memories of the past that can now recover and have a fun time on the way to work, to class or in free spaces. Younger may still enjoy the classic platformer genre, though it's hard to tell if they'll get used to some graphics that they will undoubtedly consider poor and flat
The success of products like the NES Mini has made it clear that 8-bit and 16-bit can still deliver some blows of the tail more life. There are still many sagas like Streets of Rage or Golden Axe that could be adapted, if not talk about classic games from generation SNES and Genesis like Cool Spot, Earthworm Jim or Bubsy, who still have fans all over the world.With prices affordable, the business would be insured.
Were you a fan of Mega Man? Have you downloaded any of the games? We would love to hear about your return to youth experience, remember that comments are always welcome .
