the Megaman effect

When a game company lucks out with smash hit game, and then proceeds to crank out worthless clones of the game, cleverly disguising them as "sequels." A prime example is CapCom's MegaMan BattleNetwork series for Game Boy Advance, which began as a launch title for the handheld in 2001, but quickly became an incredibly long "series" of games that are all essentially the same game. Of course, the same thing could be applied to Nintendo and Game Freak's popular Pokemon series for Game Boy, GBA, and the DS.

Dude, WW2 games, Vietnam war games, and Atlus RPGs are suffering from the MegaMan effect.

Get the the Megaman effect mug.

megaman tactics

when your playing a boss on nintendo that kills your so quickly, your only hope to win is to ignore any attempts to avoid damage, but rather take the damage, and use the invincibility you get while blinking the few short seconds after taking the hit, to deal as much damage as possible before becoming vulnerable again, thus hopefully quickly finishing the opponent off before he gets a chance to kill you. Still this is no easy task, one must be brutal and deadly... all of which is the only way to beat certain bosses in the original NES megaman.

1st guy: holy shit, this boss is hard as shit! hes really fuuuucking me up, what should i do?!?
2nd guy : use MegaMan tactics!!!!!!!!!!
