MPC Reaction:

Mega Man is one of our favorite classic retro game that definitely revolutionized the gaming industry.  It is great to see Capcom bring its best Mega Man titles to the next gen consoles.  The challenge mode sounds interesting, and hopefully it will keep veteran players engaged without frustrating rookies.  Fans of the franchise should definitely love the Museum feature, and we are sure that the game will have never looked better.
