Look Back at 25 Years of Mega Man

MegaManGameHistoryV2-Teaser1-620xWhat is this strange image, you ask? Why, it’s the entire history of a gaming phenomenon. This info graphic is the Mega Man Game History Ver 2, created by Destructoid’s Tony Ponce. It covers 25 years of Mega Man games, from the original December 17th, 1987 NES classic to the just announced December 17th, 2012 Street Fighter x Mega Man, and everything in between. That even means updated ports, mobile games and LCD toys.

We can’t even begin to show you this 9000 x 7000 pixel labor of love, so you’ll have to head over to Destructoid to view the 1:1 scale image. I think I’m going to have to ask Mr. Ponce for a poster version of this wonderfully organized history of our Blue Bomber’s feats!

Many thanks, Tony, and happy 25th!

    The last two years bring tears to my eyes, let’s hope 2013 it’s better.

    @rockman: Last two? More like the last four…

    @Forci: 2010 was not that bad with 10 and the Zero Collection, but yeah, 2009 was not very good.

    Corner spot for you, XOver.

    Technically, since I live in the Philippines, it’s already December 17.

    So happy 25th Mega Man. Let’s hope the next years are better than the last two.
