Mega Man Game Thoughts
Rambly thoughts about the Mega Man games as I revisit/play them.

Beat it legit on a GBA emulator with no save states then again in the Zero Collection with Save Assist.
Probably had more fun doing the latter. The Retry System is busted and the Ranking system is cool but it is genuinely just a hard mode. A normal mode playthrough gets you an "E".
The placement of the save assists in the remaster is hilarious. It's like a dev retroactively saying "yeah this part is bs".
It looks real damn cool and sounds good too.
Zero moves so well and the slashing/shooting is a lot of fun. The triple rod is a cool weapon and again, it just feels so good to move Zero. The levels are not the greatest designed in the world but they do fit the short play session of a GBA design reasonably well.
I have now played through and enjoyed this game twice... so I guess that means it's pretty good. Flaws and all. Grinding for the elves is pretty lame.
