Fifth time's the charm, Minakuchi Engineering finally made an actually good game, and all it too was finally getting a budget and original ideas!

It's not perfect, with a few annoying trappings in the final stages especially; the "drop down into freefalls of moving spikes" got under my ass a bit, and I didn't really jive with some of the weapons, but between the high production values, entirely original levels and bosses, and pretty good bosses? Yeah, this is the only Mega Man GB title that I'd say is really all that worth playing. Though, it actually kind of rewards you for playing them, with the final boss gauntlet actually pitting you against Enker, Punk, Ballade and even that fuckass Quint, blud thought he was on the team. If you want V to be your rite of passage for suffering through a lot of mid, be my guest!

Just don't shotgun II-V in a single day like I did, I think I would've died from mid if V wasn't as solid as it is.
