Is Mega Man 2 The Best Mega Man Game? - Danspection

welp, this bad boy just got 300 views. first danspection to hit that too. thanks edit: now it hit 400. edit to the edit: this video single handedly doubled my subscribers. extremely grateful

as someone who lived during the release of this game, there weren't many games pushing the audio limit on the nintendo like the megaman series was. the opening sequence makes the game memorable as well as stage music. the whole point of the series is based around musical rock/paper/scissors. adding more bosses was a big upgrade and finally gave us the classic grid style that continued through the classic megaman series. Sure, there are much harder games, but at the time MM2 was top tier. MM3 being my personal favorite.

Loved this. Can't wait to see what you make next

Good stuff man. I grew up in the 80s. I still play this game. Its my #1 for NES. Keep up the good work man. Nice editing, and good overall video. Keep at it.

I'm finding this enjoyable this far and I don't mean to sound like an a-hole, but you sound like Dr Light saying, "Doctor Wowwy!" I love it thought. Keep it up!

Speaking as a child of the 80’s whose favorite MM is this one, I think it comes down to which MM was available at your local rental shop each weekend. I played this loads and it is my go-to. MM1 was never available. I didn’t play it until thirty years on. And none of the others got nearly as much time (and, thereby, affection).

72 subs? So underrated!

this is really good, cant wait to see more of these, and im not even that huge of a mega man fan

Hey man, this is a great review. You know what you're talking about and make it entertaining, it reminds me of the AVGN who you maybe got inspiration from. I agree that the Bubble Man background is crazy on the eyes, but the boss himself has a cool design. This made me want to cover a Mega Man 2 theme and maybe I'll do Bubble Man because he deserves the love. Great work man, keep it up

20:45 Just use airman's weapon the walkers, takes them out in 1 or 2 hits depending if you're on baby mode, or normal.

I feel it falls under the 2D Sonic category. Yes it was wonderful when it came out and the sequels helped refine it with new mechanics, BUT it plateaued after about the 16th release

The "fakeout" enemy is just because it unspawns if you walk every so slightly backwards which you probably will with him blowing the fan at you, but also wont' trigger the respawn if you don't scroll the camera back farther. So as a result usually it appears and then disappears, but it is possible to keep it on screen and kill it normally.

The ladies call me Quick Man...... Not sure why🤔

it is the most streamlined megaman. no fluff, basic megaman experience. 1 is kind of wonky, but 2 feels very "1.0". 3 onward all feel bigger and better and longer with multiple fortresses and extra moves. 2 is basic easy short and sweet. the kind of megaman you play when you just wanna chill.

Ya why is Docto White heo???

I think MM2 is a fine NES game on its own, but compared to later games in the series it’s insanely overrated. It’s missing so many staples of the franchise. No slide, no charge shot, it doesn’t even have Rush for crying out loud. Go look at screenshot of MM2 and put it up next to one from MM6, and you’ll see how “basic” MM2 is from a technical standpoint. Again, it’s a fine game, it can be your favorite, but to say it’s objectively the best is nonsense.

Killer new channel, I'm digging your work. As a personal preference, though - I would be able to keep up better if you slowed your speech down by just 10% or so. The timber of your voice makes fast delivery harder to pick up on every word. Just an opinion, I'll be glad to continue watching if you make no changes at all.

keeping it real

It's definitely the game that made the series happen. Megaman 1 didn't sell well, so this could have been the last game.

I would say MM2 has the best soundtrack of any game I've ever played.
