Johnny vs. Mega Man & Bass
What's considered to be Mega Man 8.5, Mega Man & Bass was initially a Japan-only SNES game released in 1998, with a international release not seeing the light of day until the Game Boy Advance Port in 2003. Despite going back a generation, is the game still something to consider trying out?

I would argue that X6 wasn't as bad since you AT LEAST had the option of Zero or just Ultimate Armor in the beginning or AT LEAST, X had some saving grace. Only Infinity Mijinion as a dick move Maverick boss. Heck, the part upgrade for X6 was EXTREMELY USEFUL and you don't have to go back to the menu to equip them ALL THE TIME. Astroman as Megaman or Magicman as Megaman had shitty design even more than Metal Shark Player and Blaze Heatnix as X. Not to mention WEAPON ACTUALLY REFILL IN X6.
I’ve just realized this is one of Johnny’s most popular videos with over a million views. Probably because it’s so rewatchable, I always come back here for the rage.
Using PS1 sprites on a SNES game. The PS1 was an aspect ratio of 320x240, the SNES's aspect ratio was 256x224, & considering the Megaman 8 sprites were larger than even the Megaman 7 sprites... & then add the GBA screen crunch on top of that, crushing it down to 240x160.

Quinn The Quartz If they were going to release the Super Famicom version of Mega Man & Bass I doubt they would translate anything. They didn't translate Castlevania: Rondo of Blood or Sin and Punishment, so for Capcom or Nintendo to translate Mega Man & Bass, a game with very little text, would prove unlikely.

Took me months to beat King's Fortress though, holy shit, I didn't even think the game was *that* hard until then.

Take note, boys and girls. This is the real flaw behind that whole "games are no fun if they aren't challenging enough" mindset. Games are supposed to be about having fun, not bragging rights. Nobody's saying that challenge isn't fun. But when you primarily focus so much on the challenge factor alone, that you neglect the "fun" part, that essentially ruins the whole point. The people who made this game clearly weren't thinking of that.

1. I played this game on the GBA, where some the screen is not visible, therefore enemies/bottomless pits/spikes can appear out of no where giving you little time to react. 2. I played this after Megaman 8, which already didn't have E-Tanks. Not to mention MM7 only allowed 4 of them at once. 3. I never relied on that heavily in the NES games.
Really love the parody of the One Piece "next time" promos, complete with the karaoke version of 'We Are,' guys. It's just great.
*Sigh*... Mega Man and Bass. Where do I even start with this game? Let me just say that I believe that this was going to be a Bass only spin off game, but somewhere in development, someone suggested the idea of putting Mega Man in there, possibly for market value. I would be fine with this, except that Mega Man got the shitty end of the stick in this game. Playing this game several times like I do with every Mega Man game, I found myself enjoying this game less and less each time I played it, and that's mainly because of how bullshit the level design is in Mega Man's case. With the exception of Dynamo Man and the fight with King, Mega Man *really* has a disadvantage in this game, mainly due to the fact that the level design was not built for him, but rather for Bass. Tengu Man's stage is the prime example of this. Whereas Bass can double jump, aim in multiple directions, and make mincemeat out of Tengu Man, Mega Man has an incredibly hard time in the balloon rooms, the enemies that Mega Man can't shoot until they're at his level can pile up and dogpile him, and Tengu Man can be a major pain in the ass to fight. The only other advantage Mega Man has over Bass is the Charge Shot, which can make bosses go down fairly quickly, but Bass has an upgrade in his shop that allows him to make his shots stronger, so that doesn't matter much in the end. Out of all the stages in this game, Dynamo Man's stage is the only one I would say is the best designed, mainly because the stage isn't bullshit with both characters, and the mini boss as well as Dynamo Man himself outline Mega Man and Bass's strengths and weaknesses (Mega Man has an easier time than Dynamo Man while Bass has an easier time with the mini boss). Every other stage besides Cold Man's and Ground Man's stage can be an absolute hell hole for Mega Man and a cakewalk for Bass, which shows this game's biggest issue: The unbalanced nature. Selecting Mega Man is almost like being punished since this game was not built with him in mind. Speaking of that, I'll briefly go over what I think of Bass in this game: I like playing as him, especially how he's a mix of a Classic and X character with his more agile abilities such as his dash and double jump, but in the end, I prefer to play as Mega Man. Why? Well, it's because Bass can't move and shoot. I know this doesn't sound like a big deal and in the long run, it really isn't a major problem, but I prefer to be able to run and shoot at the same time. But I haven't even gotten to the worst part of this game: King *FUCKING* Stage *2*. I cannot express in words how much I *loathe* this stage. The first part and the King Tank, while not the worst part, can still drag on for a while because of how stubborn the tank is attack. Sometimes, it won't open itself up for an attack. But that's nothing and I mean *NOTHING* compared to what I call the worst boss in Classic Mega Man history: King Plane. As Bass, this boss isn't too bad, in fact, it can be fun. As Mega Man... *sighs.* That fist... that *FUCKING* fist! I swear, if that fist lands on a platform that you were about to land on, you're good as fucked. The blinding attack isn't that big of an issue, and it's at least generous enough to give me life and weapon energy, but that fist just ruins the deal. It becomes purely luck based as Mega Man, and I hate luck based stuff in video games. The worst part is that if, and you most likely will, get a game over on this stage, you have to start *ALL* the way back from the *BEGINNING* of the stage. At that point, I'd just say fuck it and stop playing. It's design like that that makes me declare Mega Man and Bass as one of the worst Classic Mega Man games and the hardest besides Mega Man 1 and Mega Man World 3 (III on the Game Boy)... as Mega Man. As Bass, the hardest it gets for him is mildly annoying, and the game is fun as Bass, like really fun. It's why I can't completely hate this game, besides the fantastic soundtrack. Now that I've gotten the heavy stuff out of the way, I'll briefly go over what I think of the soundtrack and weapon system. The soundtrack is awesome, in fact, it's one of my favorite Classic Mega Man soundtracks, with Cold Man's theme being my favorite track in the game. The weapon system is okay, with some weapons like the Magic Card, Lightning Bolt, and the Wave Burner being the best weapons, while the Copy Vision isn't too useful. I should also touch upon the fact that Tengu Man and Astro Man from Mega Man 8 are in this game. I would call it lazy, but their stages feel different enough from their Mega Man 8 stages, they give you different weapons, and they have new patterns to follow, so I'm glad that they were tweaked a bit from 8. In the end, Mega Man and Bass is a game that I'm completely split towards. When it comes to Mega Man, I hate it, and call it one of the worst Classic series games. As Bass, while it's not outstanding, I can enjoy myself. If more stages were designed like Dynamo Man's stage, making the stage fair for both while making a boss or section more challenging depending on who you play as, then this game would have been great. Also, who the hell thought it was a good idea to release the GBA version on the Wii U Virtual Console? That port is awful, so play the Super Famicom version, at your own risk.

Don't get it twisted, dude. That fist can very easily mess you up as Bass too. Keep in mind that Bass has less platforms to work with than Mega Man does. And if that fist wrecks the very platform you were trying to land on (especially if you've already used your double jump), well then...........

Megaman & Bass: Because if Sonic & Knuckles can do it, so can we.
This looks like if Megaman 7 and 8 had a baby. This is literally the type of game to have PS1 graphics on the SNES.
Hah, this game... This game is hard enough trying to play it normally, but perfect running it? Oh Man... I've watched two people who have done that and I was mindblowing. Seriously.
You forgot to talk about how Dynamo Man can fully heal himself. And how he has no weakness.
I'm legitimately amazed at how I beat the GBA version as both characters when I was 13. I can't play it for jack shit now. Still, its honestly one of my favourite MM games.
Even though the game's difficulty is insane a lot of the times, I still for some reason enjoy playing it. Not to mention it has a really fine soundtrack. I say it's on par with Megaman 7 & 8, but personally out of all 3 I say this one is at top for being more memorable. Of course that's just me really.
I thought Megaman & Bass was pretty standard from a difficulty standpoint. I didn't even really use the powerups or anything. Am I alone in thinking this?

Bass design is probably my favorite out of all Megaman and Megaman X
I wonder why Capcom decided not to include Mega Man & Bass in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2? Perhaps it could be due to the game's difficulty, but that didn't stop Capcom from including Mega Man X6 (another notoriously difficult game in the Mega Man series) in Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2. Though, my best guess is that this isn't a numbered entry in the series, and was therefore ignored.

Yeah tbh I do prefer MM&B over X6, I know MM&B is not perfect but still my favorite in the series. at least the game was intended to be difficult and at least things are thought out well for the most part while X6 is Outright Bullshit. Mostly cuz of so much hazardous stage gimmicks and the nightmare system outright make the stages worse and also instances where you have no win scenarios. Aka the game tells you to fuck off for not having the jumper part (gate stage 1) and get fucked for using the shadow armor without jumper and speedster parts (or do a very precise Giga attack, which tbh how are you supposed to know that) in gate stage 2 X’s section
They should have included Mega Man & Bass 1 and 2 in the legacy collection 2. That would make 6 games for each collection.
4:16 John said"what pin head designed these stages", Patrick says"who you call'n pin head
Have to agree this game is the embodyment of unforgiving! But for some reason the masochist in me enjoyed the trial and error approach, making it all the more satisfying to memorize all the shit the game throws at you, so you can finally give it a massive "fuck you!" back once you beat it! The cd collecting was coool as well and it has a lot of nods to the precursors in the series which is always appreciated! I like this installment in the franchise albeit it sucks that they didn't release it ouside of Japan in 1998 (but understandable as there was no market for new Snes games then in the west...)
This game is the X6 of the classic series.

***** Seriously, this game could use the hate. It's just plain awful
It feels like Mega Man was a last minute addition to his own game here …
Most viewed Mega Man SGB review is now 3 years old! I just so happen to stumble upon it on it's 3rd birthday.
I've watched this a few times before... Never knew Johnny was a One Piece fan.
I love this game regardless of what people say about it LOL. I finished the game as MegaMan on my first playthrough!
As someone who's only beaten the GBA version, and for many years thinking it was shit because of what people said... It's good, it's DAMN GOOD. People usually say it's a "bass game" because of how he plays. This games level design works well for both, you shouldn't have a hard time with megaman, I beat it as him on the GBA micro for the first time. Bosses are hard, but once you learn their patterns, they are just like any other. Music is fire, the final levels are a mix bag for me, the iconic multi fights aren't that bad, but they do take a while. There's ways to help you with the flying attack as megaman, using the thunder attack leaves you mid air for a while, use it when the fist comes up. I found the game harder as bass honestly. This is all coming from someone who sucks as megaman games btw. In the end, the hate this game gets is over blown. This game is hard, it's made that way. This is one of a few games you just have to (and I hate this phase lmao) get good.
I came back just for the nostalgia of watching old reviews, and I just learned that this game had a shop. So much of my time that could’ve been saved....
It sounds like this should have been a Bass game with Megaman as an unlockable hard mode.
Mega Man & Bass is ridiculous in the dumbest of ways. I played as Mega Man and beat Astro Man with just the Mega Buster, after several failed attempts. I noticed a lot of jumps and enemies assume you have Bass' abilities all right. I may try to finish it later.
Only entry in the classic series that comes close in difficulty in this one is III on the Game Boy. And that one, you deal with the Game Boy physics and no Bass...

For those of you who aren't in the know, the ending "next time" segment is a reference to One Piece, with the music being an instrumental of the show's first theme song, 'We Are.'
Protip: you dont even have to fucking attack king. Just wait for protoman to show up. dont waste your ammo
Mega Man and Bass was SO! FUCKING! BRUTAL! I was never so very angry at a video game as much as this game. I almost went insane after I’ve beaten Bass’ Playthrough. I still have Mega Man’s Playthrough to do, (which I’m so not looking forward to) but I’m taking a very long break from that brutal as hell video game.
It's the hardest, but it's also my favorite.

***** That's the exact reason I ENJOY BSC. They make jokes while also getting into extremely critical discussion. I find their videos very relaxing. I personally don't enjoy SGB as much, it just feels like any other Let's Play channel for me. Idk, maybe I've just watched too many let's plays and I've grown jaded?

Burner Man is honestly an easy fight either way all you have to do is stand at the very edge and jump when he dashes at you . You might take like, a couplehits but you wont die and just follow him after pushing the ice pretty simple. MAGIC MAN is the worst god damn boss in this game next to Dynamo Man.

Hmmmm... A horrible port on the GBA meant to celebrate the 15th anniversary of a video game series starring a blue charecter? Where have I heard that one before?
Megaman and Bass maybe hard but it's one of my favorite Megaman games of all time
I personally love this one. And the One Piece outro was A-1 Steak Sauce.

I just realized this now: The GBA port of this game came out to celebrate Mega Man's 15th anniversary. Mega Man X7 was made at the same time as well. Mega Man Network Transmission, too... Mega Man X7 is the Sonic 06 of Mega Man. The GBA port of MM&B is the Sonic Genesis of Mega Man. Network Transmission is Sonic Riders.

A few days ago, Johnny had a Twitch livestream. Unfortunately, I didn't watch it. It probably told us when he will upload it, but who knows? Before it started, he Tweeted that it will feature a channel update, probably had the date. I will contract him on Twitter to ask him about is going on. I'll tell you guys if he replies to me. I will see you guys than.
I don't know why but I always come back to this review.
johnny u kinda missed out on the wonderswan rockman and forte 2 look it up on the wiki i dint even know about it untill i looked around on the wiki till i found it
The game can be real insane in alot of instances yes, but as a collectathon, MM&B was the game that really got me interested in the Classic Series. May not be perfect but it was fun none the less and I'd rank it in my top 3 Classic MM games. (And yes, I played the gba version.)
no one else noticed the tails doll on his screen during the last part of the video right before the "next time on" bit
That awkawrd moment that you realize that they decide to make unnaccesible all stages, because you need the weapons to defeat the bosses, as a matter of fact you can kill Burnerman in 14 seconds using Ice Wall.
I loved this review man. Megaman has been one of my favorite capcom titles. althought i've never played the really old versions. I think I started with Megaman & Bass which is sad cause I enjoyed it but did think it was really tough. the only cool part to me was the music, bass, and the fact that I could smash ass on the bosses again with my powerups. Keep on keepin on this was both funny and informative.
when you talk about games being bullshit hard or any negative points for that matter, i think it would be helpful and add to your review if you could point to specific instances of what youre talking about, you do this in some of your reviews, and i think theyre better for it. I doubt youll see this, love your reviews..... just some of what i believe to be constructive criticism.

One hint of advice, for king's airship I recommend using the thunderbolt if the ship uses the fist attack beacuse it will keep use supspended in the air for a bit. But only if it uses the fist attack.
To think that this translation was done prior to the GBA version and it's not only BETTER than that translation but it also is so good it seems official. Megaman acually has a pretty nice fanbase. Unlike a certain other blue dude.
