Game Review 

More of the Same, But High-Quality More of the Same

More of the Same, But High-Quality More of the Same

I consider this to be the most refined Mega Man game on the NES. It struck a good balance with difficulty; level design, Robot Masters, and special weapons all felt good. Doesn't do much to innovate, but I never minded that. As long as it's a great game in the end, there's no reason to complain.

Final Score: 84%
