Watch Out for Fireballs! 148: Mega Man 2 and 3 (Patreon)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross flash through Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 2.

We're home again. Watch Out for Fireballs! began with an episode about Mega Man X, and now it's time to talk about Capcom's platforming superstar at the height of his powers. After a shaky debut in Mega Man 1, Mega Man 2 came out of the gate as one of the best games of all time, with memorable stages, music, and bosses. Mega Man 3 iterated on that formula and maybe reached a little too far, but it's still some top tier NES stuff.
