Father’s Day is upon us once again, but instead of taking a trip to the mall to buy dear ol’ dad a heinous tie or coffee mug, consider opening your laptop and showing Pops our list of memorable video game fathers.
Like many fans, when I saw the first screens for Mega Man Universe my heart sunk. “Bland” was probably the kindest word I could say about them, and I wasn’t too thrilled about the Little Big Planet meets Mega Man style of game they were proposing either.

Though not much information has been released on him, his powers or how his character will really play out in the game, he’s seemingly the fluffy type of bad ass that you won’t want to mess with.
