Your thoughts on this game? How does it compare to the rest of the "classic" Mega Man games? I have not played this game since the time of its release and was reminded of it today.

Love that "'Aesthetic Smooth Jazz Mid-90s Elevator/Mall Clothing Store'-core" sountrack

Pretty good, I had fun with it though it is one of the weaker titles. I think it's better then 7 and 5 at least though. They tried to give it some variety with some puzzles in a few levels and even some shump sections to mixed results. Definitely worth playing but don't expect it to become your new favorite megaman game.

Not to be a fanboy but ah fuck it, the Sega Saturn version has a much better soundtrack.

I will always enjoy the really bad voice acting from that era of videogames and that cutscene is probably a contender for worst of all time.

They had different soundtracks? What's different? I had the Saturn version

Soul Hackers has the same proto-vaporwave thing going on.

The lack of that funky style was the main thing I missed in 9, 10, and 11.

That it is, but I also have a huge soft spot for the English opening theme.

Is the most different megaman, it plays more like other run n gun than megaman.
The pseudo shmups moments feels out of place.
The story and characters feels the most near to astoboy.
In the end is a nice game, but I prefer the prequel(6 and 7) and the sequels(9,10)

Play it either on original hardware or legacy collection 2. Anniversary collection and emulation has input lag on the board sections, which is why people bitch about them.
