  • In the far off reaches of the solar system two alien robots engage in battle. Severely damaged they both begin hurling towards earth due to gravitational pull. One of these Robots crash lands onto earth critically damaged. Upon arrival an energy source manifest in the surrounding area in the form of dark matter. Wily discovers this location and begins to extract the dark matter from the crash site. Utilizing the newly discovered matter he then begins infusing it into his robot designs. MegaMan discovers the fallen robot and we are introduced to Duo! Duo’s purpose is to destroy dark matter before it spreads to other robots. And spread it has... Wily now has created an army of super charged dark robots and its up to Mega, Duo, and the gang to put an end to the “Matter” at hand!
    This was the deciding factor for 12 year old me to finally buy a playstation. The jump to 32 bit with Cd quality sound and full motion video! Before then I was a die hard nintendo fan but with the N64 all my favorite franchise were no where to be found. In a time of some of the ugliest 3D games Sony and Sega was still making beautiful 2D! Going forward though the environments here are large colorful and vibrant. There’s so much going on in these stages and for the first tine in the franchise you have in game dub. The biggest addition to the franchise here is the use of multiple weapons simultaneously. You can now chain attacks together and incorporate the mega buster when equipped with a weapon. If you owned the Ps1 version or the Saturn version there both great. But the inclusion of Cutman and Woodman in the Saturn version makes it the definitive version for me !

    considering i've seen a master system hack of megaman 2 there should have been a real master system port of the game also, and also a megadrive port of megaman 5 rather than a wily wars compliation of the nes trilogy.

    • @RockinKatReviews
      @RockinKatReviews  Місяць тому +2

      I’m surprised they didn’t port the MegaMan 4 gamegear releases over to the master system. I was always a little disappointed we didn’t get something a little more unique with the gamegear release.. It would have been fun to see Sega fans get the MegaMan V treatment with an all new MegaMan story

      ​@RockinKatReviews I will say this ... the King stages are easily some of if not the worst final stages in the Mega Man series.
      1 is manageable, 2 is a massive pain to sit through, and 3 is a boss rush in the worst way (Kinda like how 1 and MMX did it, although done terribly as it happens all in one stage rather than being spread throughout the stages)
