Funny in a Bottle - new comics every Tuesday... maybe.

For Everlasting Peace 2009 November 2

The inability to shoot upwards, rather than a problem or a design oversight, has pretty much become a staple of the Mega Man series. People often believe the titular hero's joints can only go so far, but he does make use of ladders often. Maybe his AI simply was not programmed to include "shoot up" as a solution to a problem.

Admitedly, though, there are cases in which you're granted the ability to shoot up - like in Mega Man ZX (For the DS, and greatly underrated - it feels like oldschool action at its finest) upon the use of a certain suit. When this happens, it feels like a breakthrough. Had Mega Man been able to shoot up from the beginning, it wouldn't seem like a big deal!

Also this is still the game of the year. (Any of you readers own the Wii version? Share your friend codes and we can all party like it's '69. Or '68/7/6/5/4/3.)
