Capcom embraces Mega Man's 'milking,' asks for full Mega Man games list

by Alexander Sliwinski on May 1st 2008 11:15AM

We have to chuckle when the Capcom blog upon recognizing Mega Man holds the Guiness record for "Most Number of Games In a Single Series," admits that the franchise has been "milked like no other milking in the history of video game milkings!"

The Guinness World Record Gamer's Edition recognizes 46 Mega Man games, but the Capcom blog adds several more that were Japan-only or very much off the beaten path (Mega Man Soccer?). Capcom is actually asking for help in figuring out all the Mega Man games (not counting appearances in other titles). Whoever lists them all on the Capcom site first gets a "semi-official Capcom gold star of complementarianism" and "some kinda random prize." Good luck!

Typical capcom. Can't say i'm not surprised.

Very true... how many versions of Street Fighter 2 are there again?

'Very true... how many versions of Street Fighter 2 are there again?'

Officially - 3
1) The World Warriors
2) Championship Edition
3) Hyper Fighting

The most popular unofficial hack was Rainbow Edition.

Then of course there were 2 Super series games, 3 Zero series games (not counting Zero Upper)...what, 6 EX series games, and then 3 SF3 titles.

ACK...*4* Zero series games (forgot about Zero 2 Dash, ironically) =S

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mega_Man_games

Apparently it's over 100.

(insert "OVER 9000!!" joke here)

I'm impressed that they beat the mario series.

IIRC, the Mario series is right on Mega Man's heels. However, Mario has made appearances in far more games: 116 as of January (not including remakes and re-releases).

That picture of Megaman being milked is quite disturbing, especially since he's a boy cow.

so THATS why my cereal didn't taste quite right

Rule 34 strikes again!

I LOVED Mega Man Soccer. Just such a bizarre game with plenty of variety (for the time). I'd be excited to revisit it on XBLA or VC...

That game totally rocked.

Oh, and Gemini Man for goalie!

Second. Best. Franchise. Evar.

(Final Fantasy is better though)

I can haz moar Megaman?

Really, I love Megaman series, well, just the sidescrollers Megaman: Megaman series, Megaman X series, Megaman Zero series, and Megaman ZX.

I dont like Legends or Battle Network or any other Megaman RPG. And I also don't like Megaman 64.

I want more sidescrollers Megaman games...

=p

Oh, and Viewtiful Joe 3, please.

Did you play the Mega man Legends games on PS1?? I thought those were VERY well done, and a nice depature from the normal Mega man formula.

I'm also a huge fan of the sidescrollers, also loved both Legends games. X7 and X8 were kinda meh, and the Battle Network series I just can't enjoy no matter how hard I try. I haven't even bothered trying Starforce.

I want more classic Mega Man, X, Zero and ZX.

Legends/DASH was as much a Mega Man RPG as Resident Evil is about fluffy bunnies and kittens. If anything it was an above-average 3-D adventure game (along the lines of Spyro or Mario 64, but with more weapons-- which, when you think about it, makes it basically Ratchet and Clank).

I'm tempted to go to the Capcom site and insist that Mega Man Legends 3 exists. Best damn version of the series since the original.

If you didn't enjoy the Battle Network games, stay far away from Star Force. I am a HUGE fan of the Battle Network series and felt that Star Force was a pretty big step back. And there's already a third installment announced. And America hasn't even gotten the second yet...

ZX Advent was shockingly good. It's easily my favorite since the original Mega Man X (best side-scrolling game ever), and was truly underrated. This is from someone who as proudly beat: The entire original series (barring the abominable 8), the entire X series except for the PS2 games (also terrible), the entire Zero series, MM and Bass, Legends, and both ZX games.

Oh and while I'm bragging, I did in fact beat Mega Man X without taking a single point of damage.

The Wikipedia list is fairly comprehensive, but leaves off at least the Tiger handheld LCD releases of Mega Man 2 and 3.

:D

Heh, I've still got a Tiger Mega Man 2 somewhere. It was fun at the time, when I didn't have the dosh to plunk down for a new (at the time) Gameboy.

Mega Man Soccer was friggin' awesome.

10 billion and four Mega Man games and not a single one of them is called 'Mega Man 9'.
...or 'Mega Man's Naked Vampiritic Battle Rape Party'.

WTF Capcom?

Anyone ever play that MegaMan fighting game in the arcade, it was actually pretty good.

Megaman the power battles 1 and 2 is what your refering to.

Has anyone ever come up with their own MM bosses??

I did. As a kid, I sent a letter to Capcom with my idea for Megaman 4. They said, thanks, but they can't accept outside work or something like that. The usual. I forgot all the characters that I came up with, as they were probably pretty lame (I was a kid, after all), but I remember I had an idea for a character named Dust Man, and when Megaman 4 came out, I was pissed that they stole my idea. Now, in hindsight, I realize that I was probably only one of several hundred people who came up with the idea of Dust Man.

omg, that mega man/cow image is mighty disturbing...

Just look how happy the mega-cow is.

That reminds me where is my remake of Megaman 2 for the PSP Capcom?

There's 132 Mega Man games, but I can't post a list of them on Capcom's site because you need some kind of Blogging software. I wouldn't want to take up the space by posting them all here.

Wouldn't mind if one of those games were MEGAMAN LEGENDS 3.

Yes Capcom, I'm still waiting.

People are giving Capcom crap for releasing tons of sequels, but at least they were good, unlike another company that releases the same game over and over in what is the ULTIMATE FORM of SHOVELWARE. You know who I'm talking about. Seriously, I've resorted to calling Super Smash Bros. Brawl Super Smash Bros. 1.0.2.

The original NES Megaman games and the GB iterations were shovelware, and that was about 13 or so games. Brawl is only the third game in the franchise.

It just doesn't even compare to Capcom's shovelware feel.

I think you got mixed up with generic sports game 20xx.

lol, even Capcom doesn't know how many megaman games they have made. Isn't that just stupid...

^^ phail at publicity gimmick

MegaMan Legends 1,2, and 3 for VC please.

I know all of the games names without looking at any search engine
