  • What's considered to be Mega Man 8.5, Mega Man & Bass was initially a Japan-only SNES game released in 1998, with a international release not seeing the light of day until the Game Boy Advance Port in 2003. Despite going back a generation, is the game still something to consider trying out?

    This game feels like the devs had too much fun with bass and built the levels around his abilities, so they forgot to accomodate for mega man himself.

      I would argue that X6 wasn't as bad since you AT LEAST had the option of Zero or just Ultimate Armor in the beginning or AT LEAST, X had some saving grace. Only Infinity Mijinion as a dick move Maverick boss. Heck, the part upgrade for X6 was EXTREMELY USEFUL and you don't have to go back to the menu to equip them ALL THE TIME. Astroman as Megaman or Magicman as Megaman had shitty design even more than Metal Shark Player and Blaze Heatnix as X. Not to mention WEAPON ACTUALLY REFILL IN X6.

      Quinn The Quartz If they were going to release the Super Famicom version of Mega Man & Bass I doubt they would translate anything. They didn't translate Castlevania: Rondo of Blood or Sin and Punishment, so for Capcom or Nintendo to translate Mega Man & Bass, a game with very little text, would prove unlikely.

    Using PS1 sprites on a SNES game. The PS1 was an aspect ratio of 320x240, the SNES's aspect ratio was 256x224, & considering the Megaman 8 sprites were larger than even the Megaman 7 sprites... & then add the GBA screen crunch on top of that, crushing it down to 240x160.

    I greatly enjoyed Mega Man and Bass, and I wound up beating it with both characters on my GBA while I was in highschool. It's not exactly my favorite, mainly because it has that hard mode switch flipped with things coming off-screen like crazy, but I did really, really enjoy it. Took me months to beat King's Fortress though, holy shit, I didn't even think the game was *that* hard until then.

  • @HubPie3
    @HubPie3 Před 9 lety +73

    *Sigh*... Mega Man and Bass. Where do I even start with this game? Let me just say that I believe that this was going to be a Bass only spin off game, but somewhere in development, someone suggested the idea of putting Mega Man in there, possibly for market value. I would be fine with this, except that Mega Man got the shitty end of the stick in this game. Playing this game several times like I do with every Mega Man game, I found myself enjoying this game less and less each time I played it, and that's mainly because of how bullshit the level design is in Mega Man's case. With the exception of Dynamo Man and the fight with King, Mega Man *really* has a disadvantage in this game, mainly due to the fact that the level design was not built for him, but rather for Bass. Tengu Man's stage is the prime example of this. Whereas Bass can double jump, aim in multiple directions, and make mincemeat out of Tengu Man, Mega Man has an incredibly hard time in the balloon rooms, the enemies that Mega Man can't shoot until they're at his level can pile up and dogpile him, and Tengu Man can be a major pain in the ass to fight. The only other advantage Mega Man has over Bass is the Charge Shot, which can make bosses go down fairly quickly, but Bass has an upgrade in his shop that allows him to make his shots stronger, so that doesn't matter much in the end. Out of all the stages in this game, Dynamo Man's stage is the only one I would say is the best designed, mainly because the stage isn't bullshit with both characters, and the mini boss as well as Dynamo Man himself outline Mega Man and Bass's strengths and weaknesses (Mega Man has an easier time than Dynamo Man while Bass has an easier time with the mini boss). Every other stage besides Cold Man's and Ground Man's stage can be an absolute hell hole for Mega Man and a cakewalk for Bass, which shows this game's biggest issue: The unbalanced nature. Selecting Mega Man is almost like being punished since this game was not built with him in mind. Speaking of that, I'll briefly go over what I think of Bass in this game: I like playing as him, especially how he's a mix of a Classic and X character with his more agile abilities such as his dash and double jump, but in the end, I prefer to play as Mega Man. Why? Well, it's because Bass can't move and shoot. I know this doesn't sound like a big deal and in the long run, it really isn't a major problem, but I prefer to be able to run and shoot at the same time.
    But I haven't even gotten to the worst part of this game: King *FUCKING* Stage *2*. I cannot express in words how much I *loathe* this stage. The first part and the King Tank, while not the worst part, can still drag on for a while because of how stubborn the tank is attack. Sometimes, it won't open itself up for an attack. But that's nothing and I mean *NOTHING* compared to what I call the worst boss in Classic Mega Man history: King Plane. As Bass, this boss isn't too bad, in fact, it can be fun. As Mega Man... *sighs.* That fist... that *FUCKING* fist! I swear, if that fist lands on a platform that you were about to land on, you're good as fucked. The blinding attack isn't that big of an issue, and it's at least generous enough to give me life and weapon energy, but that fist just ruins the deal. It becomes purely luck based as Mega Man, and I hate luck based stuff in video games. The worst part is that if, and you most likely will, get a game over on this stage, you have to start *ALL* the way back from the *BEGINNING* of the stage. At that point, I'd just say fuck it and stop playing. It's design like that that makes me declare Mega Man and Bass as one of the worst Classic Mega Man games and the hardest besides Mega Man 1 and Mega Man World 3 (III on the Game Boy)... as Mega Man. As Bass, the hardest it gets for him is mildly annoying, and the game is fun as Bass, like really fun. It's why I can't completely hate this game, besides the fantastic soundtrack. Now that I've gotten the heavy stuff out of the way, I'll briefly go over what I think of the soundtrack and weapon system.
    The soundtrack is awesome, in fact, it's one of my favorite Classic Mega Man soundtracks, with Cold Man's theme being my favorite track in the game. The weapon system is okay, with some weapons like the Magic Card, Lightning Bolt, and the Wave Burner being the best weapons, while the Copy Vision isn't too useful. I should also touch upon the fact that Tengu Man and Astro Man from Mega Man 8 are in this game. I would call it lazy, but their stages feel different enough from their Mega Man 8 stages, they give you different weapons, and they have new patterns to follow, so I'm glad that they were tweaked a bit from 8.
    In the end, Mega Man and Bass is a game that I'm completely split towards. When it comes to Mega Man, I hate it, and call it one of the worst Classic series games. As Bass, while it's not outstanding, I can enjoy myself. If more stages were designed like Dynamo Man's stage, making the stage fair for both while making a boss or section more challenging depending on who you play as, then this game would have been great. Also, who the hell thought it was a good idea to release the GBA version on the Wii U Virtual Console? That port is awful, so play the Super Famicom version, at your own risk.

      Don't get it twisted, dude. That fist can very easily mess you up as Bass too. Keep in mind that Bass has less platforms to work with than Mega Man does. And if that fist wrecks the very platform you were trying to land on (especially if you've already used your double jump), well then...........

      2. I played this after Megaman 8, which already didn't have E-Tanks. Not to mention MM7 only allowed 4 of them at once.
      3. I never relied on that heavily in the NES games.

    @Jordyn-Lee Před 4 lety +6

    One of the biggest misunderstandings of this game is the level design in this game is actually pretty tame. The only way I noticed this is because most people who played this game started with bass instead of mega man, & I think the problem most people have with the level design is actually the opposite, bass makes the levels to easy but that’s entirely the point but now body mentioned how much harder bass’s bosses are since his buster only does one line of damage, Mega man is supposed to be the one for combat since his buster does more damage & his charge shot does a crap ton of damage even more if you get the high speed charge item which speeds up the charge time, so in other words mega Man is the one for combat, & Bass is the one for platforming.
    & for those who are wondering yes, I have beaten this game with both mega man, & bass but I started with mega man first so that’s why I noticed this.
    & just to answer your question about how the robot masters John, it’s so the harder ones like Burner Man & Dynamo Man are impossible to reach without their weaknesses
    (Also this is my favourite classic mega man ost)

  • @19dweezy88

    I beat this game for the GBA 4 years ago, I swear this game drove me insane and I beat it with Bass. I didn't want to even try to play with Megaman and I seriously felt like I did enough just by finishing it with Bass. I told myself that I'd never revisit this game to play it but I'll always revisit Johnny's review. I even took pictures of me finishing it, torturous memories to look back on.

    Have to agree this game is the embodyment of unforgiving! But for some reason the masochist in me enjoyed the trial and error approach, making it all the more satisfying to memorize all the shit the game throws at you, so you can finally give it a massive "fuck you!" back once you beat it! The cd collecting was coool as well and it has a lot of nods to the precursors in the series which is always appreciated! I like this installment in the franchise albeit it sucks that they didn't release it ouside of Japan in 1998 (but understandable as there was no market for new Snes games then in the west...)

    Take note, boys and girls. This is the real flaw behind that whole "games are no fun if they aren't challenging enough" mindset. Games are supposed to be about having fun, not bragging rights. Nobody's saying that challenge isn't fun. But when you primarily focus so much on the challenge factor alone, that you neglect the "fun" part, that essentially ruins the whole point. The people who made this game clearly weren't thinking of that.

  • @IvanovIvanAKrutoi
    @IvanovIvanAKrutoi Před rokem +4

    I wonder why Capcom decided not to include Mega Man & Bass in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2? Perhaps it could be due to the game's difficulty, but that didn't stop Capcom from including Mega Man X6 (another notoriously difficult game in the Mega Man series) in Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2. Though, my best guess is that this isn't a numbered entry in the series, and was therefore ignored.

    • @morrowlterraslove
      @morrowlterraslove Před 7 měsíci

      Yeah tbh I do prefer MM&B over X6, I know MM&B is not perfect but still my favorite in the series. at least the game was intended to be difficult and at least things are thought out well for the most part while X6 is Outright Bullshit. Mostly cuz of so much hazardous stage gimmicks and the nightmare system outright make the stages worse and also instances where you have no win scenarios.
      Aka the game tells you to fuck off for not having the jumper part (gate stage 1) and get fucked for using the shadow armor without jumper and speedster parts (or do a very precise Giga attack, which tbh how are you supposed to know that) in gate stage 2 X’s section

    Megaman and Bass was the first Classic 2D platform megaman game I ever owned at age 13 on the GBA. To be honest, I didn't find it overly difficult. CHALLENGING, oh yes, but I managed to pull through. I made it to the second boss of King 2...at which point I raged quit and didn't pick the game up again for several years. Once I had more gaming experience, I had a blast going through this game again. Even the aforementioned boss was no longer a threat to me. Actually, when all's said and done, I prefer playing as Megaman. His buster's more powerful and he has much better item equips , in my opinion. To be perfectly honest, the only thing that irritates me in this game is the same thing that irritates me in any other 2D megaman game: instant death by spikes. While this game was challenging, I appreciate the foundation it gave me. The other titles are a cinch in comparison.
    Except for that fan game, Megaman Unlimited. Good lord...

    I just finished the game for the first time (thanks to an Emulator) and yeah, I definitely agree on everything Johnny said. Bass is the better choice to play as (since his Double Jump, Dash, and Treble Boost, makes the game more bearable).
    But I think I would have made a very decisive change in the gameplay to make it better. Like instead of choosing just one character and that'll be the only one you can play as in a save file, why not give the player the ability to switch characters along the way. Because there's quite the number of obstacles and secret passages that only one character can go through.
    Other than that, the game is frustrating and a bit annoying (even in an Emulator) but at least I found it fun and satisfying to beat.
