Phil writes, "With Capcom putting Mega Man out to pasture over the years (though the Legacy Collection is seeing a retail release this month, featuring all six NES titles and various extras), many fans have been clamoring for something entirely new from the series. Since Capcom isn't happy to oblige just yet, fans like myself have gone elsewhere to get our fix from a new Mega Man-like game.
Many Mega Man styled titles have reached consoles and handhelds, but on iOS and Android, the thirst for a game that plays like the Blue Bomber's own games is indeed real. Thankfully, FDG Entertainment enters the arena with a game that feels like home to a Mega Man fan like yours truly, and that game is Venture Kid. It may feature a generic identity, but the gameplay and price makes for a game that satisfies my craving for more Mega Man-like games in my life."
