  • Today, we're taking a trip down memory lane and exploring the evolution of the stage select screen in the classic Mega Man games.
    Mega Man is a beloved video game franchise that has been around for over 30 years. One of the most iconic features of the Mega Man games is the stage select screen, where players can choose which level they want to tackle next.
    In this video, we'll take a closer look at how the stage select screen has evolved throughout the years. We'll start with the original Mega Man game on the NES, which had a simple and straightforward stage select screen. We'll then move on to Mega Man 2, which added a few new features to the stage select screen, such as the ability to see which boss you've defeated.
    We'll then explore the later games in the series, such as Mega Man X and Mega Man Battle Network, which took a more modern approach to the stage select screen. We'll examine how these games added new features such as map screens, sub-bosses, and hidden stages.
    Throughout the video, we'll provide insights and trivia about each game and how the stage select screen impacted the overall gameplay experience. We'll also showcase some of the most memorable stages and bosses from the Mega Man games.
    So sit back, relax, and join us on this journey as we explore the evolution of the stage select screen in the classic Mega Man games. Don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel for more exciting videos like this.

      Blade Man is Metal Man
      Bit Man is Hard Man's head put on Crash Man's body, with Spark Man's arms

    @BradenBest 2 года назад

    Mega Man 7's stage select was so annoying. Just the simple act of removing the robot master names from their profile shots made me select the wrong stage 5 times during my first playthrough, and since I couldn't exit the stages, that meant I had to go through and fight the boss with the base weapon. Mega Man games are at their best when you can form a strategy around boss weaknesses, trying to guess which one is "shade man" based on their looks is like flipping a coin.

    I think I like 3's stage select appearance the most. The simplicity of the 3x3 square is really easy to look at, and I think it's cute how Rock's eyes follow the cursor. Also, I find it a tiny bit funny that the megaman logo is placed below him where the robot master names are, and the "III" is obscured, making it look like "and this is megaman."

    Appreciate the collection....however you have the end of game / Sigma music highlighted for MMX1 and MMX3 instead of the standard stage select music. Opportunity to highlight both per game IMO. EDIT - got it right for the iOS version at 5:32 - MMX2 stage select was correct though.
    Personal opinion - Mega Man X4's stage select music was fucking ON POINT! MMX6's standard stage select felt more suited to end of game status IMO with the heavy organs but....with the whole nightmare stage thing.....still solid. MMX5's Zero stage is INGRAINED in my memory.
