In a series of point/counterpoint entries, I'm here to tell you how exactly the Mega Man X series topped the Mega Man series and where it fell short. Now while the original games are something to be treasured, the adventures of X are just as good, and in a lot of ways, better than the original. Through a rock-solid set of controls and a brand new story set in the distant future from the old MM games, players ended up falling in love with this new version of the Blue Bomber as he engaged his new enemy, Sigma. On the surface, the series seemed to be pretty much the same concept its predecessor, but once people started playing it, they realized there was much more to this new Mega Man than meets the eye. However, from the ashes of the original, a new game from creator Keiji Infaune came about: Mega Man X. It's a series that's mastered the action platformer and found a satisfying game loop that lasted for six games before finally losing steam. Granted, Mega Man has always been more fiction than actual science, but they've always been a great time. For some gamers, it might have been their first interaction with science fiction. It's hard to overestimate the impact and influence of Mega Man games.
