I’ve been meaning to tell you all about this for some time now… Not sure what has held me up, but here we go. This one is for all of the vintage gamers packing an iPhone.
If you remember and LOVE the Mega Man series, the developers at Capcom released a gem of a game for the iPhone and iPod Touch last month. Mega Man II is the title I’m talking about, and while not much hoopla or foo-farulla was made of it, the game has quickly become one of my favorites.
All of the classic ‘bosses’ are found inside, as well as classic controls. You can switch classic controls off for easier controls, fewer enemies and an auto-fire option. Makes the game a little easier to play, for sure. You can also choose to play the game in portrait or landscape, whichever orientation works best for you.
While reviews of the game are somewhat mixed, if you love the vintage NES games, chances are you’re going to like this one. You can pick up the full version of Mega Man II for $4.99 in the App Store (iTunes link).
Note: A ‘lite’ version of Mega Man II is also available for free. It offers limited gameplay, but is a great ‘try before you buy’ preview. Check it out here (iTunes link).
