ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
The video game equivalent of a later “Thin Man” film, Mega Man 5 represents Capcom buying time for its once-proud flagship while Street Fighter II sat at the top of its priority list. Despite its repetitive nature, the game is nothing if not familiar and reassuring. And that’s not a bad thing! But at this point in our journey, it’s hard not to wonder what more Mega Man could be if only Capcom were willing to put in the time and effort.
