Having defeated Dr. Wily’s most expensive robot boss ever, Gold Man, Mega Man has now gained Gold Man’s ability of being solid gold. However, this means he fell directly through the first platform of the next stage, which collapsed under his weight. He really should’ve saved that stage for last.

And now, at San Diego Comic-Con, they’ve dropped a new trailer showing off the returning Torch Man.

Capcom has many lauded franchises, but one that many fans resonate with the most is Mega Man. The character was born on the NES, and went on to be a part of many major consoles and handhelds since.
