Mega Man's been around for a long time, and for much of that time gamers wondered what the little blue bot would sound like. The Captain N cartoon made him sound like he had smoker's lung, and Mega's own cartoon gave him a "generically cool '90s dude" voice. But his voice in his own video games still hadn't been established. Mega Man 8 changed that, giving Mega Man an in-game voice for the first time. It was enough to make you wish Dr. Light never bothered to build a vocal chip.
In the scene above, Mega Man and Dr. Light examine a jar of evil energy, not like it matters. All anyone watching it could focus on is Mega Man's voice, which sounds less like Mega Man and more like Mega Second-Grader. Everyone's favorite super fighting robot, the Blue Bomber who mercilessly massacres anyone named Something Man in his path, suddenly sounds like a rejected My Little Pony character. It's all but impossible to take the game's iconic hero seriously after he squeals his dialogue. It sounds less like he wants to track Wily down and stop his evil plans, and more that he wants to put on a tea party with him.
That's to say nothing of Dr. Light's voice, which–let's be real–sounds exactly like Elmer Fudd. "When we find that meteor, we'll find Doctor Wahwee," he says, though someone should probably let him know it's Wabbit Season, not Wahwee Season.
