Yeah, you read the title right. I think Mega Man 5 is both the best classic Mega Man game and one of the most underrated games I have ever played. I adore this game from start to finish, it is one of my all time favorite platformer games. The game features some of the best level variety I have found in a platformer game, especially for a game on the fucking NES. It’s wild. This game has great levels, pretty good weapons, great bosses, and feels like the pinnacle of what a platformer game from this era could be. For all of these reasons and more, it is my favorite NES game, and I hope I can convince some of the people who don’t love it as much as me to think about it more and perhaps give it a second chance.
