Mega Man has been in gamer’s hearts since the NES days and bringing in new ones since its release of Mega Man 11. Capcom, aware of the popularity of the blue bomber, continues to re-deliver classic titles to the current consoles, including the popular Nintendo Switch. A VR game of Mega Man would be quite interesting! At this point for Mega Man (Rock Man) fans will have to wait and see what Capcom will do next.
