In the year 200X, a super robot named Mega Man was created.
I replayed this in a single sitting tonight. It's not hard to see why Mega Man 2 is one of the most beloved titles on the NES. It takes the formula set out by the original game to dizzying new heights with its excellent level design and genuinely unforgettable music. Any chiptune musician worth their salt has cut their teeth on the Mega Man 2 sound font at some point. Despite the title, most fans would agree that this is the first true Mega Man game. Its extremely forgiving difficulty (other than the goddamn Boobeam Trap) is the only thing keeping it from all-time greatness.
