In the Meadow, We Can Build a ROCKMAN: It's MEGAMAS 2025!!!

So, I'm playing Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit for a review. And I'm conflicted, so I put it before you all here.

The game is very Mega Man-esque. The platforming action is running, jumping, shooting in one direction, and yes, even sliding. You can even get a power-up that grants you a charge shot, and the stage select is even based on Mega Man. See for yourself:

However, the bosses themselves? Not so much, so far. F-14 Tomcat is a side-scrolling shooter, while the Festerdrome is -- as you might have guessed -- a cross between Uncle Fester and the Technodrome battle from the first TMNT NES game.

So, yeah. At first I was like "Oh boy, I can add more to the tally!" But then I realized that the bosses themselves aren't very Robot Master-like, so... I guess not.

(For those interested, I've beaten The Devil, Speziman, F-14 Tomcat, and Festerdrome so far.)
 
I forgot how terribly troll-y Mega Man 10 could be but it's dusted off anyway. Throw another 8 on the pile.
 
Got three more from off TT, so now we’re at 682

I’ll make an exception for the AVGN game since it’s heart is clearly in the right place even if the design of it doesn’t line up.
 
Oop; make that 690, thanks to Discord user “Greg Dog” heroically blasting the Robot Madters of MM2 to smithereens
 
And now an even 700 since Mega Man X embraced the Empty Fist and unleashed the power of the Satsui No Hadou on Sigma and his army of Marvericks
 
Polar and Propellor Knight are down, as well as Enchantress. Thus ends my contribution to this year's festivities.

Man, I really don't like that first Enchantress phase at all.

Awesome!

I finished it tonight, so add two more to the list of four I beat before.

Three, if you want to include Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 B.C. Version 4.1 Beta.
 
Thirteen more thanks to Mega Man X2, 716!

It’s not unthinkable to Save Christmas before December starts but it may not last long beyond that
 
29 more Courtesy of our own Regulus and Destil, so we’re at 745/1000

We’re nearly three quarters to Saving Christmas!
 
I appreciate Mega Man 8 but I'm pretty sure I don't like it and its PSX-era jank. Great soundtrack, tho. Another eight down.

And hey, I’m halfway through Mega Man Zero 3 so that’s 7 more…

So…

Ladies and Gentlemen, and all you ships at sea;

We did it

We have SAVED CHRISTMAS.

But the never ending battle continues until all naughty forces are destroyed.
 
Mike and I have been doing a bad job of keeping track during the randomizer, I think we'll just do the math after we're all done.
 
Wow, saving Christmas just keeps coming earlier and earlier each year, doesn't it? It wasn't even December yet.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mega Man 7 is not a good game. It does have style, though, and I've noticed a kind of design consistency between MM7 and MM8 that I hadn't noticed before, which I suppose is neat enough. Anyway, another eight on the pile.
