15 Best Mega Man Games.
After a seven-year hiatus, Mega Man is back! Capcom recently announced Mega Man 11, which will bring the Blue Bomber back to game consoles everywhere in late 2018. If you simply can't wait that long, though, there are 30 years' worth of excellent Mega Man games to tide you over until then. From Mega Man's classic days as a side-scrolling run-and-gun hero to his more recent forays into crossover fighting games, it's easy to see why the plucky little robot has become one of gaming's most beloved characters. Whether you want to revisit your favorites or dive in for the first time, here's where to start.Credit: Capcom

There hasn't been a new Mega Man X game since 2004, but at least Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite gave us a new Mega Man X story. Mega Man baddie Sigma and Avengers antagonist Ultron merge into a single malevolent life-form, leaving the heroes (and other villains) of the Marvel and Capcom universes to stop it with punches, kicks and flashy supermoves. This fighting game features Mega Man X and Zero, of course, but you can also try your luck as Spider-Man, Ryu, Captain America, Frank West and a whole host of other beloved characters.

Mega Man 8 came out in 1996, and it was OK but not good enough to revive an ailing series. Twelve years later, Capcom decided to try again with Mega Man 9. This throwback platformer used 8-bit graphics and chiptune music to re-create an NES-style Mega Man game, and fans adored the results. They knew there'd be colorful stages, tight gameplay and memorable tunes; what they didn't expect was that the game would also introduce the very first female Robot Master: Splash Woman. Mega Man 9 not only satisfied old-school gamers of every stripe but also made gamers realize that Mega Man was still very much a viable gaming hero.
