 * 11) His portrayal and depiction in the obscure anime series MegaMan NT Warrior, is faithful to how he his in the videogames, and Andrew Francis does a great job at playing him.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He and his operator Lan can argue often at times, despite his affability.
 * 2) Similar to Lilac, Bayonetta, and Klonoa from the Freedom Planet, Bayonetta, and Klonoa series' respectively, MegaMan.EXE may be somewhat obscure despite his likability.
 * 3) * However, this may have been caused by the infamy of an unrelated panned indie game villain that also has ".EXE" at the end of his name.

Trivia

 * Coincidently while MegaMan.EXE is obscurely likable, Sonic.EXE Is notoriously hateable. Both unrelated characters have ".EXE" at the end of their name.
