Chad Concelmo’s Memory Card feature on Destructoid is always a treat to read, and his latest entry is no different. His latest post is part of a new trilogy that he’s working on dubbed The Memory Card Graphics Trilogy of Amazingness, in which the games that he highlights will be representative of three different console generations and the graphics that have blown him away.

In part 1, he’s selected Mega Man II. Specifically, the giant robo fish from Bubble Man’s stage:

Regardless of how the graphics hold up (side note: anyone that says they don’t hold up can deal with my super-powered retro fist!), the first time I saw the giant robot fish in Mega Man 2 will always remain one of my fondest, most cherished gaming memories of all time.

And, funny enough, I could have had this same memory for any of the other similarly visual mini-bosses that appear in the game.

There are many other monstrous enemies like this that show up in Mega Man 2, some even more visually stunning than the giant robot fish. But when I played Mega Man 2, I chose Bubble Man’s stage as the first stage to tackle. (What can I say? I love bubbles!) Because of this choice, the giant robot fish was the first, stunning, jaw-droppingly huge enemy I ran into. And that initial encounter is what sealed it into my memory.

It’s hard to argue when the man is right: Mega Man II is a beautiful game (and possible future Capcom Unity Video Game Club contender). Check out the link below for the entire read.
