250 Reasons to Love Nintendo, Many of Them Mega Man

As many of you no doubt know by now, the 250th issue of Nintendo Power magazine is arriving in mailboxes and on store shelves, and features a four-page preview of Mega Man 10. But what you may not know (unless you already have a copy) is that isn’t the only presence the Blue Bomber has in the issue.
In addition to that cover story, the staff has assembled an article called “250 Reasons to Love Nintendo” (and as they’re celebrating over 25 years of gaming history and 250 issues, I would say they are well within their rights). And among those 250 reasons, Mega Man accounts for a pretty good portion of them.
Flipping through the article, nods can be found among “Our Favorite Heroes,” “Our Favorite Villains,” “Awesome Weapons & Power-Ups,” “Mustaches,” “Eight Robot Masters,” “Classic Quotes,” “Sweet Rides,” “Things We Love to Hate,” and of course, “Awesomely Lame Box Art.” For what was picked in these categories, where they ranked, and what was said, you’ll have to grab a copy of the issue, but we will allow you one courtesy: it is unfortunately all related to Mega Man Classic.
Sorry X, Zero, ZX, Legends, Battle Network, and Star Force fans. Though to be honest, if all of those were included, Mega Man might have been able to take up 250 spots all by itself. On the upside, it may please you to know that Mega Man is certainly not the only Capcom franchise on the list– far from it.
The issue also features a nice preview of No More Heroes 2, an interview with Hudson legend Takahashi Meijin, a Play Back of one of my all-time favorite games, and the annual Nintendo Power Awards, but unfortunately, the sole appearance of Mega Man in 2009’s Star Force 3 didn’t qualify for any of the categories.
I actually have the subscriber edition of the issue, which has the well awesome MegaMan 10 ‘BoxArt’ picture. It does indeed have plenty of Classic Mega Man references. I’ve enjoyed this issue very much!
when I saw the subscriber cover it made me really wish I still had a subscription
WAIT WAIT WAIT
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SCREW MEGAMAN! THAT’S RIGHT, ON A MEGAMAN SITE, I’M SCREAMING IT AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS
SCREW MEGAMAN, GIVE ME THOSE NO MORE HEROES 2 SCANS!

@Absolute Zero
You’re right, it really doesn’t, I just use it to show which words i’m emphasizing in a sentence.
Did not know nintendo still cared about mega man… good sign.
Megaman for SMB 4 maybe?
Super Mario Bros. 4?
Wat.
I think he meant to type SSMB 4.
Gah, I meant SSB 4–Super Smash Bros. 4.
exactly, super smash bros 4
i dunno megaman will enter SSMB4, in that case i think will be ryu or another capcom more recent character
