Looking Back: Mega Man & Bass

p>As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Classic series. For this entry, I’ll be looking Mega Man & Bass, a game that was the chronological last game in the classic series until the end of the hiatus with 2008’s Mega Man 9. Beyond featuring Bass as a playable character, MM&B has a number of innovations and features some of the most difficult levels in the series.

Exclusive Twitter Interview with Makoto Tomozawa

One of our readers,
