Games[edit]

In the table below, default sorting is according to the plot chronology of the series.

The creator of the series, Keiji Inafune, planned it to be concluded with Mega Man X5, whose sequel is Mega Man Zero. Capcom decided otherwise, and further titles were published, although in contrast with the Inafune's continuity that includes the Mega Man Zero series. Keiji Inafune was the author for the games up till Mega Man X5.
