Mega Man Turns 23!

It's December 17th, and 23 years ago today, a buggy, quirky, and excruciatingly hard game came out that started a franchise so overwhelmingly popular, that now even Capcom doesn't know how many damn games there are.

This year was pretty good for Mega Man. Mega Man 10 and Zero Collection came out, and Mega Man Universe, Mega Man Legends 3, and Rockman Online were all announced. This will be the first anniversary without Keiji Inafune, but his company is starting up, and I don't think the franchise is in any trouble without him either.

As for me, well I'm looking to establish some free time before I start another series of reviews. Believe it or not, working in the game industry is a REAL time sink. Sitting on my plate is Rockman.exe Beast, and the Mega Man movie, but there's no way I'm getting to any of that till next year.
