I think this is a step down from the previous game, but not by much. Dr. Wily is on his bullshit again, except now he led you to believe it was Protoman doing the dirty deeds, as MM4 teased at the end. But no, it was a fake Protoman this whole time. Wow, what a shocker. I mean, it's nice how the series started developing more of a story with the 3rd classic entry, and even more so with the 4th, but do people really play these games for the plot?
Anyway, you also get a bird now. His name is Beat. Probably cuz he can lay the beatdown on bosses. Frankly, he's kind of OP, especially the final boss. You need to collect all of the letters that spell out MEGAMANV throughout the 8 main stages to unlock him, but they're all pretty easy to spot and collect.
It's a solid game with some great bosses. Some of the weapons are pretty stinky, but that's a given at this point. The second half is a bit exhausting, as usual, but once again, it was actually fun, unlike MM3. Not much to say really, as I'm mainly just cranking out these MM reviews out for the sake of consistency now. Just one more game on the NES. I'm hoping that it ends on a bang... or at least some confetti poppers.
