Released only in Japan for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation, Super Adventure Rockman wasn’t a typical Mega Man game. The interactive movie combined full-motion anime cutscenes with first-person shooter segments and, to this day, puzzles players concerning its place in the timeline. The game’s darker themes and overt violence proved polarizing to longtime developers and media.
The game takes place in a South American rain forest, three years after the sudden appearance of inexplicable ruins. Dr. Wily, working together with Dr. Light, discovers an alien supercomputer inside the ruins and uses it to revive his fallen Robot Masters.
