Its a niche thing. The original MegaMan was released in like 1994, starring MegaMan, the Super Fighting Robot. It was wildly popular for its combination of Platformer and Action Shooter genres. They (Capcom) made 8 sequels for the NES, MegaMan 9 for the SNES, and later, MegaMan 10 for the Wii. (I  played MM1 and 3 on Wii U Virtual Console. Not my cup of tea.) Feeling that simply adding a number to the end of the name "MegaMan" was getting repetetive, Capcom came up with a new game called MegaMan X. (Which I also played on Wii U virtual Console.) It was in this game that they introduced the character "Zero." (LOL, right?) In spite of his lackluster name, Zero quickly became a favorite character. And every time he died heroically, the fans wept. He was so loved that Capcom in 2002 gave him his own videogame series, "MegaMan Zero." It took on a more Metroidvania style, but kept the hard core shooter-platformer of the original MegaMan. I have this GameBoy Advance game on Wii U virtual Console as well, and I like it better than all the other ones.

(BTW, they also made like seven sequels of MegaMan Zero: Mega Man Zero 2, Mega Man Zero 3, Mega Man Zero 4, Mega Man Zero 5.. You get the point.)
