Rockman – The Power Battle was developed by Capcom., Released in 1995
Have you ever pictured a Rockman game that allows to skip all the platform elements and just grapple against the bosses? That’s pretty much the main idea in this game! Choose from Rockman, Protoman or Bass and battle against classic bosses in the series. Features great 2-D graphics, solid control, and a nice use of strategy (since the right order of weapons will rid you of specific enemies in no time!).
Other Informations:
Runs on the “CP System” hardware.
B-Board #: 91634B-2
Players: Up to 2
Control per player: 8-way joystick

– TIPS AND TRICKS –
* Easter Egg : sometimes when you fight Shade Man, the background music is a version of the theme song from the Makaimura series. This seems to happen at random.
