Seriously, everyone gives Mega Man a hard time, but at least it was relevant to the in game action. I'm not sure what the hell was going on when they designed Phalanx. Damn, Ace beat me to it.

So much that some boxes even had the wrong screenshots for game in the back (Ep2 had a tf2 screenshot, right next to the same exact screenshot).
