"Thunder Beam is (or rather, was) Mega Man's weakness.
All Robot Masters of a given series have to be weak against another in the same series. In this case, the series is DRN-001 through DRN-008. The reason Elec Man can kill you dead in three hits isn't because he's such a badass... It's because you're weak against him. Once Elec Man was eliminated, Mega Man got rid of his one weakness, taking it for himself, and becoming a far more fearsome opponent in the process. As the only Robot Master witho"

Genre: Platformer
Mega Man 4 was not a bad game, but it was the beginning of the decline in the Mega Man franchise. With Mega Man 2 being awesome, and 3 being just as awesome and with new gameplay features, Mega Man 4 had a lot to live up to. Unfortunately, it ultimately fell short. It's still a very solid game and it's still very fun...But it's not on the same level as the previous two Mega Man games in the series."

"Much like the title before it, Mega Man 4 is lost in the mountain of NES Mega Man titles despite trying to add a few wrinkles to the gameplay and storyline departments. I know the idea of ‘change’ in Mega Man games is a pretty laughable topic in and of itself but Mega Man 4 blends into the background even quicker than some of the previous and following titles and that’s really discouraging.""

The first Mega Man was a rough sketch of a portrait that Mega Man 2 would quickly and famously streamline. Mega Man 3 would take some liberties with its game play and ultimately stifle the flow that would have greatly benefited the series. But what about Mega Man 4? Does it restore the flow of chi or only intensify an abstract case of mental blockage?
There are several things about Mega Man 4 that are more than welcome. The robot master crew is probably the most challenging out of the NES line-up and we see the introduc” read more

"This is an awesome game. It put a twist as dr wily isnt the main villain or boss.
Spoiler!
*He actually is but later.*
Doctor cossack is the main boss.
Spoiler!
*He only does this because Dr wily's kidnapped his daughter so he's forced into building horrendous robots.*
So megamman is tasked with defeating his creations which arent too hard.
I loved pharaoh man and ring man they were pretty cool.
There was a ton of interesting stages as well. "

Mega Man 4, known as Rockman 4 Arata Naru Yabō in Japan, is a video game from the Mega Man Classic series. It was somewhere between the release of this game and the previous one that Capcom considered taking the Mega Man series to the SNES, its unveiling closely approaching at the time. However, they changed their minds and put it off for approximately four more years, until the release of Mega Man 7.
Mega Man 4 features several enhancements and changes from previous games, incl"
