One (well, 46, technically) for the books: Mega Man in the Guiness Book
How the heck did this get past us? Back in March, the Guinness people published the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008, which contains an amazing amount of gamer ephemera and questionable records. Amongst the records recorded is “Most Number of Games In a Single Series,” handed to our very own Blue Bomber.
That’s right, the Mega Man franchise has been recognized as being milked like no other milking in the history of video game milkings! The Guinness Book recognizes 46 games, but I’m pretty sure that the actual total is far more than twice that number (even Wikipedia lists more than 100 titles). According to IGN, Guinness sez that:
There are 17 games in the “classic” series starring the original character. There are also 11 Mega Man X games, four Mega Man Zero games, two Mega Man ZX games, three Mega Man Legends games, six Mega Man Battle Network games, plus three Mega Man Star Force games
Let’s fix this number! Fer instance, off the top of my head, they are forgetting:
Mega Man Soccer (fun fact: Mega Man’s first appearance on the SNES!)
Mega Man Battle & Chase (only hit the US in the Mega Man Collection)
Mega Man Powered Up! (PSP remake of MM1)
Mega Man Rock Board (Japanese-only, Mega Man-themed board game)
Mega Man Power Battle (arcade game designed for kids)
Super Adventure Mega Man (Dragon’s Lair-stylee anime adventure, released in Japan around Mega Man’s tenth birthday)
Somebody get on this project and figure out how many friggin’ Mega Man games there have been, please. We’re counting Mega Man games only, not appearances in other games (Marvel Vs. Capcom, Dead Rising, Cannon Spike, etc. do not count) Semi-Official Capcom Gold Star of Complementarianism and some kinda random prize to whoever completes this assignment successfully!
