Super Adventure Rockman, Ep. 1 (PlayStation) Playthrough [English]

A playthrough of Capcom's 1998 interactive movie for the Sony PlayStation, Super Adventure Rockman. Each disc functions as its own independent game, so this video covers the first episode, «The Moon Temple.» Since the game never saw an international release, I've subtitled the video with my own English translation of the game's dialog and text. Super Adventure Rockman is based on the characters of Mega Man 1-3, and it's built on the back of a three episode OVA series that Capcom commissioned specifically for the game. The story was also later adapted for Archie's Mega Man comic series. Taking place in 20XX, the story begins as an earthquake deep in the Amazon reveals the mysterious ruins of a 20,000 year old civilization. The ruins start emitting dangerous waves of electromagnetic radiation, and Dr. Wily seizes the chance to claim the power as his own in yet another misguided attempt at world domination. Roll has already been affected, and if Mega Man doesn’t stop the evil doctor, all humans and robots will be wiped out within two weeks. The gameplay follows the «choose your own adventure» template. As the FMV clips play, you'll be presented with quicktime events and your choice of paths to take whenever you hit branch points, and your inputs at these moments determine which clip you'll see next. You also encounter enemies at certain points, and you'll fight them in gallery shooting minigames (think Lethal Enforcers) that encourage you to make use of the weapons...
