About This Retro Game
Developed as part of Capcom's CPS-2 arcade lineup, this game distilled Mega Man's core gameplay into competitive 1-on-1 matches with simplified controls.
Unique 'Power Battle' system allows characters to steal weapons from defeated bosses, similar to main series games but adapted for versus play.
Though never ported to consoles, it gained cult status for its rare arcade-exclusive roster including Bass (Forte) before his console debut.
