On episode three of Sound in Action, the theme is Modern Retro. But what does that mean? Honestly, it varies a bit from song to song. But essentially you’ll hear music that was made recently that, on some level, is inspired by the past.

What’s that? A Mega Man Battle & Chase remix? Talk about synergy! There’s plenty of interesting selections here from Eschatos to Mega Man 10. Get downloadin’!

On this, the second episode of I Am Error, Wes is unable to make it to the festivities. Fortunately, he is there in spirit. By that I mean we may have played sound clips of him from other podcasts.

This time on the show, Jonah takes up hosting duties in Wes‘s absence and is joined by his faithful co-host Dan Diemer. We are also joined by special guest stars Adam Anania and Jesse Gregory from The Mega Man Network. You may have connected the dots and realized that Adam and Jesse are the same Adam and Jesse from this very site, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are some of the biggest Mega Man fans around. This has given them great insight into this episode’s topic, “The Blue Bomber’s Bombs”.

Staying clear of the traditional games Mega Man has starred in leads us to explore some of his more interesting excursions into video gaming’s pantheon. First, we talk about Mega Man Soccer, or is it Mega Man’s Soccer? The title screen and the box art can’t agree on which version is correct. We then move on to an interesting take on the Kart Racer, Mega Man Battle and Chase. After all, as a famous game once said, “I wish you a good luck.”

Moving on, it’s the Dragon’s Liar-tastic Super Adventure Rockman, followed by one of the more offbeat entries, the Japan only Wily and Light no Rockboard - That’s Paradise. Just how like Monopoly is it really?

We also discuss feedback from both twitter and readers from The Mega Man Network.

The history of video games has been plagued with numerous mediocre titles featuring popular characters, doing things outside their comfort zone. Well okay, they haven’t ALL been mediocre; generally the ones with Mario in the title are worth taking a look at. I can’t say the same for Dr. Robotonik’s Mean Bean Machine or Link’s Crossbow training, though.

Mega Man, a character held near & dear to the hearts of most of the Wing Damage crew, has starred in several lackluster spin-off titles. In this month’s “I Am Error,” we take a look at three of ‘em – Mega Man Soccer, Mega Man Battle & Chase and Super Adventure Rockman.

If you have played any of these titles in the past or have access to play them now, please do and email us or comment with your thoughts. We’ll read your missives on the next edition of the “I Am Error” podcast, which will be available for consumption in just a few weeks.
