Mega Man 64

Game » consists of 2 releases. First released on Jan 10, 2001

Nintendo 64

Mega Man 64 is port of the 3D Mega Man Legends that came out on PlayStation a year prior. It comes with new levels and added content, but at the same time lacks some features from the other iterations.

Concepts

"Game" 64

Games for the Nintendo 64 with the numbers 64 after the title to denote that it is, in fact, a 64-bit game for the Nintendo 64.
Auto-Aim

Auto-aiming (or Auto-targeting) allows for a character to attack or interact with an object or enemy that's very near to the player or within their field of vision.
Bosses

Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
Collectibles

Collectibles are items such as coins, rings, gems, packages etc. that can be gathered, usually for some kind of reward, or sometimes to simply beat a level. Often (almost too often) the source of earning achievements and trophies on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Combat-Based Platformer

A combat-based platformer is a style of platforming with more emphasis placed on destroying enemies than exploration or collecting items like coins, jiggies, etc. Good examples of combat-based platformers are Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter.
Dungeon Crawling

A game where you crawl through dungeons. Often involves traps, treasure chests, and monsters.
Explosion

A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
Fictional Currencies

A fictional currency is one where the object being exchanged does not exist in the real world, such as Final Fantasy's Gil, or are not used for exchange in the real world, such as Fallout's bottlecaps.
Games Based on Anime

A game based on an anime.
Hanging Ending Screen

You've made it to the end, but you can't get back to the title screen. You cannot skip the ending image. The only options are turning the console off or hitting reset.
Health

Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
High Score

In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Idle Animations

An Iconic concept of video games is the use of an idle animation for the players character, when during gameplay there's no control given. It's an example of emergent game design, and is used as a way to add depth to action characters.
Inventory

A gameplay mechanic allowing players to store their items and freely carry them around.
Item Combination

Usually found in adventure games, when you combine two or more items to create one or more new items.
Jump

It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Non-Player Character

Characters controlled by the game for players to interact with, as opposed to player characters which are controlled by whomever is playing the game.
Puzzles

Puzzles may need to be solved before the player can progress to the next section of the game. Often it may not be clear to players exactly what the puzzle is, or whether the an in-game items needs to be attained before it is even possible to solve it.
Secret Area

A Secret area is a place hidden that few will find unless they know where to look.
Strafing

Moving to the left or right without rotating the body axis. The technique, also called side-stepping, is useful in FPS games to avoid incoming fire without turning away from a target.
Super Suit

Metroid, Mega Man, Earthworm Jim, Metal Gear, Halo, Crysis, Iron Man, and many more. Ordinary men and women who become extra-ordinary with the right suit on.
Swimming

Propelling oneself with kinetic usage of limbs while submerged in liquid (or otherwise fluid material).
Third-Person Perspective

The player character is seen at a distance from a number of different possible perspective angles. There is generally a movable camera but it can also be in a fixed position. It most commonly refers to a viewpoint behind the player character.
Visual Novel

A sub-genre of adventure games, visual novels are interactive fiction that usually have very little in terms of gameplay but focus more on extensive storytelling, character interactions, dialogues, and branching narratives, as well as artwork, cutscenes, voice acting, and music.
