Doctor Cossack looks like my dad.
Starting off with what can only be called a "previously on Mega Man!" cutscene sequence before the title drops, Mega Man 4 is a game that has fully embraced its Saturday Morning Cartoon nature.
You get more guys to fight, more music to listen to while you make your way to fight them, and two new ways to get around on that way.
Sadly though, the Wire Adaptor is made pretty useless when compared to the already established Rush Coil and Rush Jet. What a shame.
Despite the stumbles it made in the movement department, Mega Man 4 finally gives us the ability to fire a charged buster shot, dealing triple the damage of a regular shot. The charge shot itself looks kind of weird though. It looks slimy and not at all like something that will blast through a robot.
Mega Man 4 also has the most infuriating final boss, because you can't fight it without its weakness. Good luck grinding to fill up that ammo after you already spent it all.
I've beaten Mega Man 4 something like three or four times. It's pretty good, and the new additions are cute and fun, but it doesn't shine, it doesn't sing. It goes by too fast to even hear any singing that could happen. I don't think i could fully recommend this one, but i would certainly recommend checking out the promotional art for it. Skull Man's skull shaped shoulder pads are an excellent design choice.
