My machines will usher in a new world of light!

Super Adventure Rockman is an interesting little project. It is, effectively, an OVA with some light interactivity and a few rail shooter segments sprinkled in. I tried to play this one myself, I really did. I even tried to install a plugin that translates Japanese text on the fly, and, failing that, I then tried to use Google Lens. Unfortunately, the text here moves too quickly for a translation tool to keep up with, so I had to just resort to watching a playthrough. Anyway, this seems fine! The OVA animation is surprisingly great, and the story goes to darker places than anything seen in a Mega Man game up to this point. Ra Thor, Ra Moon, and the Neo Yellow Devil are all insanely cool antagonists as well. Other than that, though, Super Adventure Rockman is a very mixed bag. Still, Capcom should localize this so I can play it. Where's the Mega Man: Handhelds and Spin-Offs Legacy Collection?
