Brings what grabs you about Mega Man II: jumping and platforming, a sci-fi setting as well as combat with precise timing.

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Mega Man 10

Jumping and platforming

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

Mega Man 8

Jumping and platforming

A classic run-and-gun platformer where Mega Man defeats eight robot masters and takes their weapons. The PlayStation entry brings a colorful cartoon look, animated cutscenes and varied stages with boss fights.

Mega Man X4

Jumping and platforming

A fast 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero and take down Maverick bosses in any order, grabbing their weapons. Tight controls, anime cutscenes and a driving soundtrack make it a series highlight.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

Shooting and gunplay

A fast, old-school 2D action platformer where you play as Gunvolt and his rival Copen, tagging enemies and unleashing flashy lock-on attacks. It emphasizes tight stages, boss fights and score chasing with an anime flavor.

Mutant Mudds

Challenging difficulty

A tight retro platformer where you hover with a jetpack and blast mutant mud monsters while hopping between three depth layers in each level. Its pixel art and precise controls evoke the 8- and 16-bit era.

Alien Soldier

Shooting and gunplay

A frantic Treasure run-and-gun with a gauntlet of boss fights, fast gunplay and a flexible weapon loadout. It is extremely demanding, rewarding pattern memorization and precise reflexes.

Mega Man 11

Shooting and gunplay

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Mega Man X5

Shooting and gunplay

A classic 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero through eight stages against Reploid bosses while a falling space colony threatens Earth. Hero choice, boss weaknesses and a ticking clock add variety and pressure.
