Best Mega Man Games, Ranked From Worst to Best
6) Mega Man 4
Following the original trilogy of Mega Man games, Capcom was eager to shake things up and maintain the Blue Bomber’s relevance in the gaming sphere.
The result was Mega Man 4, a game which does an admirable job of implementing new mechanics without overshadowing the elements that made the franchise what it is.
After Wily’s defeat in the last game, a new mad scientist named Dr. Cossack has amassed a force of robot masters to take over the world.
With no other choice, Dr. Light summons Mega Man to set things right, but not before granting him a new upgrade in the form of the Mega Buster.
With it, he can take on stronger enemies and hopefully overcome the latest array of life-threatening challenges that stand before him.
Though it does come off as a softer and less challenging take on the earlier games’ framework, the game also brings together several elements from across the series and mixes in new components like the charge shot, creating something new that shows promise for the series’ future.
It’s a good thing too because with it future entries would rise all the higher thanks to the groundwork it lays.
