Ok, so I'm an avid Megaman/Rockman fan, and my personal favorite game of the classic series other than 8 is Megaman & Bass/Rockman & Forte. ALL THREE VERSIONS. While the SNES and GBA versions are basically the same, given that the GBA version is a port of the SNES version, the Wonderswan version has some enormous differences. Not all differences are bad though, as you'll soon find out. Basically, the graphics during stages aren't as good as the versions on the SNES/GBA, but they do have their charm. The cutscene graphics are literally drawings, and the art direction on those in my opinion was fantastic. The weapons are actually REALLY cool in comparison to their SNES/GBA counterparts, specifically Rockman's "Dopple Crash" attack, which you can charge up and dash THROUGH enemies with a plasma-sword. The instruction manual lists it as "Rockman's strongest weapon." The story is vastly different, where instead of a robot-stealing-robot named King is your antagonist, this time it is a character named "Shadow Rockman" or "Shadow Megaman" depending on where you're from. Shadow Rockman's story is a little strange, but it actually ties in to another handheld Megaman/Rockman game from days gone by, and that to me is really ingenious: cross-platform storyline. I should also mention that the game is REALLY REALLY HARD. (At least it was for me.) Oh, and none of the SNES/GBA bosses make an appearance in this one. Every single boss is new, and some are kind-of weird. One boss commonly referenced as being weird or stupid is "Aircon Man." He's an airconditioner. Strangely, his stage is one of the hardest in the game, being one of the stages that requires you to turn the wonderswan on its side and play "Standing" mode, so the screen is taller than it is long. Items in the game are used a little differently, and the arrangement of them is a little irritating, because you can see items that can't be used by the character you're playing as. Example: Forte's item "Gospel Boost/Treble boost" looks available to buy, but isn't. The other downside is that if you like the stage music (like me) and want to pause and listen to it, you're gonna have to find a place with no enemies, because the pause screen is has the shop music from the SNES/GBA versions and cuts off the music of the stage you are currently on. Either way, I'm glad I bought this, and I love it, so yes, I would definitely recommend it to any Megaman/Rockman fan out there who owns a Wonderswan.Read full review
