Our Take
This album is something exciting for Mega Man fans, but the truth is that the Blue Bomber deserves more from Capcom. It's been too long since we've had a new Mega Man title, and it's even taken Keiji Inafune and his new company to propose something in the spirit of those original titles. But at least we have Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS to look forward to.
