Megaman V FINISHED! 9/10 I will evaluate it based on the time it was released and the difficulties at that time it was normal to increase the longevity of games, not everyone in the 90s could have games to buy whenever they wanted like it is these days, what it's like to buy an indie for 10 reais or 20 even a AAA game on the eshop or Steam emulators didn't even exist and this game is from 1992 but it has very beautiful pixel art!

I take back what I said about the first game being difficult, the first Megaman may even have poorly positioned platforms, but in 5 this was overcome, the most annoying thing is the respawn of enemies, just turn 1 millimeter of the screen and they reappear, there were many times when I lost a life That's why... since there are several levels that appear in just 1 centimeter of screen time, Megaman's jump animation is canceled when he takes damage, which occasionally causes me to fall straight into a cliff or spikes, and so, this was quite common in games from the 8 Bit era.

Flickering is quite common to the point of having some areas that had so many enemies that you could see how the Nes struggled to run the game, the Boss battles in the game are challenging, I noticed how heavy they were, the weak weapons I thought were good part was almost useless the Power Stone is literally USELESS! the weaknesses did not cancel the boss's action but if Megaman takes damage his animation is cancelled... and Charge Man is by far the most unbearable Boss! The good thing is that some phases can find the Tanks that you use to recover your HP, depending on the phase, you can find 2 to 3 Tanks.

Each level you can find a letter they form the title of the game MEGAMAN V but I recommend it AT ALL COSTS! Get them at any cost! They are not difficult to find, I found them all just by walking between the stages and looking where I was going, if you collected them you release Beat a partner who will help you with support, he is a partner who is the weakness of some boss robots that appeal to you You won't have any headaches from facing them, but with Beat you'll have to worry about just deflecting attacks.

Megaman V was a good experience, I played it through the virtual console on my Nintendo Wii, I didn't use Save State and I had a total of 7:03 hours of gameplay, I just played until I won and saw the credits, I wanted to experience what it's like to be frustrating time where we even tried to defeat the final boss and watch the credits, it was countless game overs, but I'm happy that with Megaman it's not the end of the world to have a game over but just return to the beginning of the level or choose to return to the selection screen of Boss, what were there games from the 80s to 90s where they gave you 2 to 5 lives, some didn't even continue... to make you try to reach zero, but these games don't even waste my time, it's one thing to be a boss and enemies challenging and frustrated that you were losing, but losing all your progress after so much effort was frustrating to the point that you never wanted to play again! Since it was a frustration due to the game developers and programmers, I highly doubt they would finish these games, but with Megaman I didn't lose all my progress so I could have waited until I beat that enemy.

But then I only recommend you play Megaman 5 if you're looking for a challenge or are a fan of classic Megaman like me, it was a fun experience and defeating Wily was quite fun too.

Not sure if I'm getting better at Mega Man or if Mega Man 5 is the easiest game in the series as of its release.
The game is surprisingly generous with its 1-Up drops, and a majority of the bosses are a complete joke. Like, why is there a post-Robot Masters boss whose only attack pattern is walking back and forth? Mega Man 5 also has the easiest set of Robot Masters as of yet, with only a few of them posing a considerable challenge, at least when you understand their attack pattern.

The game has a few cheap "gotcha"-moments within its levels, but I honestly thought that the level designs were all-around pretty good in this one. A bit on the simpler side perhaps, but they were nice to plow through. Gravity Man's stage was a real highlight with the gravity flipping mechanic.

There was only one optional upgrade this time around in the form of Beat the bird. Collecting letters in each stage in order to unlock him was not as compelling as trying to find hidden routes like in Mega Man 4. Most of the letters are placed in plain sight, while the one in Stone Man's stage was hidden behind a breakable wall. I honestly wish that all of the letters were hidden in a similar manner, but oh well.
However, I didn't find much utility in using Beat -- or any of the unlockable weapons for that matter -- which was a bit disappointing. One of the great joys of a Mega Man game for me is discovering how the weapons and upgrades can make my life easier during a stage or a boss. I tried to experiment with my new weapons, but ultimately came to the conclusion that they were more effort than they were worth, and that the Mega Buster is simply better 90% of the time.

Mega Man 5 is simply more Mega Man, for better or for worse. Nothing major is added, but nothing major is lost either. It's a fine game, and I think I would recommend this one as an entry point for people who are curious about the classic Mega Man games. However, I personally prefer 4 over this one.
