For Day 8, it's the return of one of my favourite subsites! Five-Minute Mega Man hasn't seen activity since Cliffhanger Week, and in that time, something happened to the Mega Man series that nobody saw coming -- it went back to 8-bit. Mega Man 9 and 10 were made in the classic NES style by Inticreates (the guys behind the Mega Man Zero and ZX series). I always said Capcom would make those games someday, but I wasn't expecting retro. Nonetheless, they're lots of fun... and the latest one just happens to fit our theme perfectly.
So here's <b>Five-Minute <a href="../megaman/megaman8.html"><i>Mega Man 8</i></a></b>. ...What? I'm not gonna do them out of <i>order</i>!
(Side note: I've had this fiver half done for quite a while, and it seems I must have worked on it sometime after watching <i><a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4443">Grenadier</a></i>. The subtitle explains Grenade Man's line, and one of the author's obvious influences explains Mega Man's reply. Check the show out sometime; at 12 episodes, it's a good couple of afternoons' viewing.)
