It does indeed look like a NES game.
... can I have the NES cartridge version? :D
(I wish they'd make one...)

Great news!
Mega Man IV wasn't a port of course (idiots...), but it's great to see the MMIV/V/7/MM&B-style shop show up here, as it should have in 6 if the game hadn't been so cut-rate and rushed.
It is disappointing that there seems like there might not be the slide (from MM3 on) or charged shots (from MM4 on), though. I think that the series was significantly improved by both of those additions...

Quote:This formula went unchanged for years, oddly shaken up by the Game Boy port of Mega Man IV, the first game to introduce buyable items. It was integrated into Mega Man 7 and 8, and it's also part of Mega Man 9, making it the first NES-style game to contain Dr. Light's shop. Items include an energy balancer (distributes energy to weapons that need it most), spike shoes (protect against one-hit kills) and new armor that reduces damage by half. You're also able to remove his helmet and play the game with Mega's black hair flowing free. Doesn't sound like much, but fans (like us) are bouncing off the walls with misty eyed glee.
