Like all fans of the classic NES era, IGN eagerly awaits the release of Mega Man 9. This retro-flavored action game looks to perfectly capture everything that made the early Mega Man games so endearing. And with the game (as of press time) slated to hit all three consoles on September 22, Mega Man Mania is hitting a fever pitch.
All this week. IGN Stars will run features on the best and worst Mega Man villains. With dozens of games across as nearly as many consoles, there are now well over 100 bosses in the Mega Man pantheon.
Today's countdown deals with the Dr. Wily bosses. With every classic game, beating the eight Robot Masters leads Mega Man to Wily's fortress, where the worst robots imaginable are waiting to pound him into dust. These five are IGN's favorite uber-bosses of all.
Like any franchise, there are entries in the mainline Mega Man series have proved better than others, either because of how much they did (or didn't) alter the gameplay design philosophy that made it legendary in the industry. Today, we've got every mainline entry in the series ranked from worst to best.

We can forget about all that now though as the Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 3rd-9th July 2018 is now in place and it is bringing a whole new range of discounts to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 players. Want to check out the full list of games on sale?"
Replies(1)Several of these games have been on GWG, Slime Rancher and Super Mega Baseball 2. Others are on Gamepass. There is an Anime sale going on with up to 75% off. Fifa 18 at just 15quid, although I'll wait until it's in the EA Access Vault and get it for free.

Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."
