Goofs:

Factual errors: In the opening cinema scene after you begin a game, Mega Man mispronounces Bass's name. The proper pronunciation is like the musical instrument (sounds like "base"), but Mega Man pronounces it like the fish (bass.)

Quotes:

Astro Man: I come here... but I don't know what to do!

It's pretty much the same.

"Mega Man 8" was made in 1997 commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Mega Man franchise. This game is pretty much the same: Defeat the 8 robot leaders, and defeat Dr. Wiley again. The game's premise is pretty much the same, but in this game Mega Man can acquire special weapons like a laser beam (for an example) that he can use. I think the Mega Ball weapon is cool too. But overall, the game offers very little.
