i think id rather stick my dick through a cheerio than play as megaman in this game

replaying this game as megaman i still enjoyed my time with this game, its just a lot of the cracks in the level design rear their ugly head more. i dont think i would really recommend this game to anyone besides me, i just think playing as bass is super fun. i really think this should've just been a bass game, i think if they made a game purely tailored around his toolset wouldve made a way more fun game. also, I still like the fact that this is one of the few classic megaman games where all of the special weapons are useful to some degree.

so glad they made this one actually good, unlike the last shinobi games.
even though it's hidden behind a code, the game is so much better with 6 buttons, as you don't have to rely on shurikens the whole game. the expanded moveset and improved controls just make this one an absolute joy to playthrough, unfortunately there are still some annoying off-screen enemy placements and the double jump still sucks, but it's a step up from whatever shadow dancer was.
a very solid title for the action genre, definitely worth checking out
