Episode 743: Mega Man Zero 4 (Patreon)

Nadia: Instances of real story closure are rare in the Mega Man series. At least the Mega Man Zero games for the Game Boy Advance managed to close the curtain on one subseries. And what a closure. Mega Man Zero 4 has arguably one of the best stories in the series, which makes use of a clever callback to Mega Man X5, and its pantheon of myth-based Mavericks is a lot of fun. But with the Nintendo DS already out at that point, Zero 4 was in for some Golem-sized competition from day one. Join me as I talk to Victor Hunter, Stuart Gipp, and my very own David Oxford about Zero’s final trek on the GBA.
