What’s faster than the speed of light? Mega Man Battle & Chase’s North American release date, that’s what! Released in 1997 in Japan and 1998 in Europe, this game completely missed it’s planned North American release despite ads and previews running for it in magazines. Initially forgotten as “just another kart racer copycat,” true fans of the genre and Mega Man fanboys, were given something truly unique in sound and style! Rev up those engines while you hear the XVGM Radio boys chat about their time playing the game. Buckle up for exciting discussion about the game as well as reviewing interviews with Keiji Inafune and some of the illustration artists taken from the Mega Man Official Complete Works book!
