This game is kind of the best so far of the Mega Man games, and it's not even a contest. The bosses from the robot masters to the wily castle ones are a really good, I love this game's presentation, it's art style with the sprite work, the cutscenes for as badly acted as they are, etc.

This game also just lets you shoot with the buster alongside any other weapon, and I'm like, slightly mad no other Mega Man game lets you do this to my knowledge. It makes even the more mediocre weapons still feel alright to use because you're not left rudderless. Stacked on top of the new upgrades you can give to the mega buster depending on what you get in the shop, it can make it pretty dangerous to use.

I don't know how the other games are gonna fully shake out, but this is a high point. This is some of the coolest things I think you can do with Mega Man, I love this game. Oh yea, and here's the boss rankings

8 - Astra Man
7 - Search Man
6 - Aqua Man
5 - Clown Man
4 - Frost Man
3 - Grenade Man
2 - Tengu Man
1 - Sword Man
