Haven't really played this one much. Still, its Mega Man so I'm going to get it.
I didnt play this one much either, but i am a HUGE Mega Man fan and i gotta download all of them for sure. I do have my favorites though
Gotta have it!!
Some people say this is the worse of the NES releases, I don't see it as such.
The bosses are totally dumb and the music unmemorable as a whole, but the level design is miles ahead of 4 and 6, for instance.
Still waiting for Mega Man 5...
