Mega Man Soccer (Rockman’s Soccer in Japan) features traditional soccer play involving numerous characters and Robot Masters from the Mega Man series. The game packed all the modes sports fans had come to expect, including exhibition matches, tournaments, league, and multiplayer. The ease of play and unique special shots appealed to plenty of Mega Man fans.
Set sometime after Mega Man 4, the game incorporated much of the franchise’s signature flavor, including the need to defeat eight teams of Robot Masters in the first round of the “Capcom Championship.” Only then could the player advance to Dr. Wily’s castle and take on an additional assortment of teams.
