This game is fun to play and controls really well, with the voice acting being incredibly entertaining, but similarly to Mega Man 7 I just don't really feel like going through the whole game just to say I've completed it when my overall enjoyment will be minimal. I think this is just because whilst I do like Mega Man games, they're just so extremely similar that even new graphics and power-ups haven't really interested me for a while, and these games lack the innovation that other game series from the NES had gone through by this time, for example Mario had gone 3D the same year Mega Man 8 released.

It's through no fault of this game that I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to, but I hope that Mega Man 9 and 10 being NES throwbacks make better use of this overdone formula, and aren't purely nostalgia which won't do much for me.
