yes it is
and even worse

>>7296341
>>7296342
No, it's not. Comfy as fuck, really. The sound issue is overblown.

Outside of 2, all of the GB Megaman games are hard as fuck. Like ball bustingly hard. The original 1-8 are a lot easier. What gives?

The only Megman games that are truly shit-tier are X5, X6 and X7.

>>7296414
And all the GB ones got worse with each entry, too (still all really good, though). Tip for GB1: once you get down Cutman's stage, the game is a breeze because you mastered the key technique to bearing the whole game.

>The sound issue is overblown.

You must be tone deaf.

The music is literally OUT OF TUNE due to a programming mistake. That is objectively bad.

The high pitched sounds may also be a programming a mistake.

Even if you use the patch to fix that:

Well, at least the game is bearable, but it's still not a great game.

>>7296634
3, 4 and 5 are great actually

>>7296470
I'd rather play any of these over the first two GB Megamans and Wonderswan Forte.

>>7296634
>And all the GB ones got worse with each entry

They really didn't, only MM2 is bad.
5 is the best in the series as it's a completely original ttitle, and it even was the first to use certain mechanics that became standards for the main series like having a shop.

Xtreme 1 and 2 are very meh though

>>7296470
Don't group X6 with those sacks of shit. It's bad but not abysmal.

>>7296659
That's what I said, though

>>7296674
No, 2 is better than 5. Xtreme 1 is meh, Xtreme 2 is based as fuck.

>>7296343
I don't give a duck about the sound. In fact I like some of the tracks.

The stage design is hot garbage.

>>7296693
>No, 2 is better than 5.
This is hardcore contrarianism.

>>7296341
Played this on an emulator in the early 2010s, it was aight, way better than the first one tho

>>7296341
It's alright, but I is better

>>7296414
Considering how the GB games are shorter than the NES games, they were likely made harder so people wouldn't beat them in only 30 mins.

>>7296634
I and IV are best kek

>>7296674
>>7296693
Xtreme 2 is one of the best X games, I don't give a fuck what anyone says

>>7296341
It's subpar, but bearable and still better than Wily's Revenge

>>7296341
While II is not the worst game I've even played (and not even the worst Mega Man, that belongs to the DOS duo and that Wonderswan one), it's the worst of the GB games. Rather off controls, horrible sound (compositions were okay, but just waaaay too high-pitched), pathetic bosses, and not-so-good level design.

>>7296634
I personally disagree with that. I think they got better each entry (except II, that's worse in every way compared to Wily's Revenge). With IV and V being the best of the GB series.

>>7296414
Smaller screen, but still using a 1:1 Megaman sprite so everything feels like fighting inside a bathroom stall.
>NES: 256x240 (61,440 px)
>GB: 160x144 (23,040 px)
So you're dealing with 1/3 of the screen area that you're used to.
Nice pic.

>>7298293
its even worse than in the zero series!

>>7298296
Naturally. MMZ was built from the ground up to be on that screen. In addition to his sprite being built from scratch, a sword type weapon works better with the CQC that would be integral to a smaller screen.

>>7296414
Anon you drew an easy as fuck screen

>>7298310
Guy you replied to.

Yeah...you have a point. try to put the zero series n a larger screen and you run into a pacing problem when it comes to level design and how good it feels to kill enemies

>>7296414
V isn't hard.

>>7296414
IV and V are a cakewalk. So is 5, 6 and 7 as long as you have E-tanks and know where the big bolts are. What are you on about?

>>7296909
V is a great game, but the gameplay is just not as fun or well-flowing. It's obviously harder and has great new features and graphics, but it's less fun. I is the best.

>>7298759
>needing E-Tanks in 5 or 6
Shig

>>7298846
I didn't phrase that well enough. CTFD. 5 and 6 are easy, so is 7 if you have what I described initially

>>7296653
how does a game even get shipped with a bug like this?

>>7298853
>Chrono Trigger Fucking Did.
What did my based megabro mean by this?

>>7299876
I like how Capcom blames the devs and say they never worked with them again, but it's probably partly their fault too for short dev time and no testing

>>7300117
I love that the entire page for this game is just a big apology

>>7296693
>No, 2 is better than 5.
what kind of doped-up contrarianism have i stumbled onto now

>>7296341
I played it as a kid. Actually enjoyed it. Although the music is totally fucked now that I can actually hear it. I never had the sound on my Gameboy turned up that loud.

>>7296341
The music is butter, just needed to be spread on the right bread

>>7296414
I was able to beat mm1 on gameboy playing on the train over a few weeks, being able to save helps so you can just do a level over and over til you master it. It just plays the same as the nes to me.

>>7300586
Hit me with your power rankings bro

>>7301075
i'd say they consistently get better as time went on, but you could make a case for IV over V
