Happy 35th Anniversary, Mega Man!

 

Today 35 years ago, Capcom unleashed a little Blue Bomber who fought against the evil Dr. Wily and his robot masters to save the world from their tyranny! That video game of course was “Rockman” in Japan - but it’s better known to western audiences as “Mega Man” and was first released as an 8-bit game for the Family Computer aka the Nintendo Entertainment System!

The game would get a number of sequels as a result of its popularity, as well as spin-off titles such as the Mega Man X series, Mega Man Legends, Mega Man Battle Network, and so on! Mega Man would even appear in other crossover titles and fighting games - including the Marvel Vs Capcom games and Super Smash Bros Ultimate!

Happy 35 years, Mega Man!
