I do love how well the style of the Power games translates over to 8 bit and it definitely does have the solid core gameplay that the arcade versions had, but honestly I think the arcade versions are superior in practically every way. With stuff like the music and the screen crunch especially, it just makes me wish I was playing the arcade versions. Also the default button layout on the Switch version sucks ass, and I think the most baffling thing to me is that they charged $8 for this when you can just install Capcom 2nd Arcade Stadium and just buy the first two Battle games instead for the same price. Or you can buy the whole collection for $40 and get a whole slew of awesome games. I’d say buy this for the novelty, I bought it myself because I’ll always be a die hard Mega Man fan, but otherwise just play the arcade versions.
