Mega Man and his allies, Zero and Axl, team up and head to the moon in a mission to defeat the enemy and save mankind. As any one of these three characters, you must successfully jump, attack, and use new weapons to gain access to new areas. Each area contains different challenges that help you build and acquire skills. Fight your way through 12 stages, with settings ranging from space stations to lunar colonies, and then replay the levels to discover new subquests.

The Megaman X series continues with Megaman X8. Once again, Megaman will team up with Zero, Axl, and friends in a 2D and 3D environment to stop the evil Sigma.
