Well, if you grew up during the Super Nintendo era of gaming, there was a plethora of titles that would fit that exact description. However, there was one title that separated itself from the bunch, and was a huge leap forward when compared to its predecessors. The game that I so passionately speak of  is Capcom’s Mega Man X.

While the X series had plenty more classics as time went on, you always remember your first, and that is just what Capcom wants to do. Mark May 30 on your calendar, folks, because that’s when Mega Man X is coming to the Wii U eShop in the US. If you haven’t experienced this title in the Blue Bomber’s catalog, I would strongly recommend it.
