When it came down to the Mega Man series many people remember the classics that were featured on game consoles such as the NES, SNES and the PS1.  As strange as it may sound there weren’t any Mega Man titles for the Sega Dreamcast at all.  In fact, the Mega Man series could have possibly been more popular on the Sega Dreamcast than it was on the PS1 following the release of Mega Man X3 for the SNES in 1995.  

Some might argue that the Mega Man X series began to decline in popularity when X4 was released for the PS1.  While Mega Man X4 was released in 1997 we also saw the emergence of games such as Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and many other titles. 

 Many of these PS1 may have overshadowed the Mega Man X series on the PS1 during the late 90’s.  It also possible that the Mega Man X series was like big fish in a small pond when it came down to video games for the SNES.  However, when it came down to the Sega Dreamcast Mega Man X could done great since games Sonic Adventure I & II, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi and Shenmue would be among the many games that it would have to compete with.  Even though, Mega Man X could have done much better on the Sega Dreamcast in comparison to the PS1 in terms of sales the series overall was starting to decline in popularity during the late 90’s and it may have ultimately suffered the same fate as it did.
