What was said about Mega Man
Mega Man let players pick boss order, with each power countering other bosses. The game starts on a stage select screen, and every boss's power helps against other bosses. Guts Man's rock arm, for example, wrecks Cut Man.
Magazines soon printed the optimum route, which weakened the idea. Once the best order is published, the choice no longer has to be worked out by the player.
