A little while ago we reviewed Mega Man X on the Wii U Virtual Console, and liked it a lot. We happen to think this is a brilliant game, but it may nevertheless seem peculiar to those encountering it for the first time.

We decided to try and see the game through fresh eyes while working on the review, and below is the Miiverse adventure that came of it. All of the posts are below, but if you want to see each one individually and the responses they received, click on those orange headings.

FYI - If Miiverse satire and seeing screens from the whole game aren't for you, then look away now...

Think of the goodies inside!

If in doubt, keep running into spikes

Leave Knuckles alone

Wait until you play Zelda

Because logic matters in Mega Man...

Blocked by LEGO again

This isn't Star Wars

A special moment ruined

So that's our alternative adventure through Mega Man X. Thankfully we don't actually play the game that way...
