Summary

Being able to play any unreleased game is always a big selling point, I’m not a huge Mega Man fan but I did find myself having more fun here, maybe it’s the fighting scene or maybe it’s the easy-to-throw attacks? Either way, once you get over the obvious language barrier you get a game that can be as deep as you want it, the moves combo together very well but it’s worth noting you can go quite far just by mashing the buttons. Yes, it’s sparse in so many ways but then it’s plentiful in others, it’s a worthy addition just due to its availability and Mega Man… Ness? Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and these games on Switch are just brilliant nostalgia fun!
