Old game consoles?

megaman's 1 through 6 are on the NES as well as many other great games.

Ahh, I remember- Bombman,gutsman,cutman,elecman,iceman. commited to memory that order is.

Apparently they renamed the Japanese version of it in several ways due to copyright infringement:

EG: Aquaman from the Japanese version was renamed to Waterman(Aquaman from DC comics)

[BC_Programmer]

you mean, the japanese version used different names. It's aquaman here.

he's such a pushover. Actually, all of them are on megaman 2. I just beat megaman and do the rest in pretty much any order- just making sure I have flash before I fight quickman and I usually beat heatman before I fight woodman.

megaman 3, is a bit more annoying. I used to start with snakeman, but I now start with magnet man. He's far easier.

MM4 has a well-defined cycle. I start with toad man because he's so easy. let's see here, then it's bright man, then... well,  I forget the others. ot surprising- 46 robot masters can be tricky to keep sorted.

Some of them kinda make you think that the creators were starting to run out of ideas. 

• Snakeman
• Brightman
• Toadman 

[BC_Programmer]

the ones that do are definitely in MM6,7, and 8.

I mean- yamato man? tomahawk man?

and yet no giant eyeball man. his weakness would be the attack from squirty grapefruit man.

Puddingman 

[BC_Programmer]

he must be weak against dietary supplement man.

[macdad-]

And get nagged by PO'd-Wife-That-Gets-on-your-nerves-Person 

I'm sorry 

[Helpmeh]

Don't forget Loser man!
His weakness would be Almost-non-loser Man, who's weakness is to Almost-Winner Man, and they all lose to WINNER MAN!

[BC_Programmer]

Actually, Mega Man isn't even Mega Man in Japan. His original name, and the name he's known by in Asia, is Rock Man. His Japanese creator chose this name because of his personal love of rock music (so I've read). Rock Man's sister robot is named 'Roll' (making Rock & Roll). She made an appearance at the end of the first Rock (Mega) Man game, but her name isn't mentioned until Mega Man 3.

Rainbow Man was a name they had considered, since he changes colors when he changes weapons.

That is true, in the comic series(Japanese version and a special chapter in one of the English volumes) you actually are told from the creator that some of the characters have a musically derived name, eg:

Rockman & Roll (Rock and Roll)
Blues(Protoman in the Japanese version, Blues)
Gospel(The Grave Virus from the comic, Gospel Music)

And also Bass(or Forte from the original Japanese, Bass I guess means the Bass & Treble of music)

Puddingman 

Are you sure that's pudding he's covered in?
