In each of the next eight games, from Mega Man 2 through 9, Dr. Wily's nefarious plans (as played-out in the original Mega Man game). Wily turns on Light and reprograms most of these robots to do his bidding, but one of these robots, Mega Man, quickly throws the kibosh on Dr. A group of powerful robots are created by Doctors Light and Wily to help humanity in various mundane tasks. And that's a good thing, because the 8-bit world is where Mega Man truly belongs.įor those gamers unfamiliar with the premise of the core Mega Man series, it goes a bit like this. While Mega Man 7 (SNES) and 8 (PSX/SAT) deviated from the 8-bit path, and ended up disappointing many an ardent fan as a result, Mega Man 9 returned to the series' roots, and Mega Man 10 stays firmly on that same path.

The title looks, sounds, feels and plays like the very first Mega Man game released twenty-three years ago on the NES. There's nothing new about Mega Man 10's tech, delivery or gameplay. Mega Man 10 is a game for the core Mega Man franchise's many fans, and its appeal inherently sits with its backwards-looking approach.
