Mega Man X5 vs Mega Man 4

Terrorists have attacked an asteroid colony and disabled its artificial gravity, creating an imminent threat to life on Earth. As either Mega Man or Zero, you must battle your way through eight challenging stages, defeat powerful bosses, and acquire their unique abilities to save the planet. Experience the classic side-scrolling run-and-gun action the series is famous for. Choose between Mega Man's ranged blaster combat or Zero's close-range plasma sword, navigate treacherous obstacles, and make strategic choices to prevent global catastrophe.

For a year the city has been quiet, but a new robotic terror has gripped the streets! The scheming scientist Dr. Cossack has arrived with eight new metal maniacs who are bigger and badder than anything Dr. Wily dreamed of, leading to a cybernetic showdown in the Siberian citadel. Armed with the newly upgraded Mega Buster, Mega Man must run, jump, and dodge his way through mazes of metallic munchkins. Engage in action-packed platforming combat, defeat powerful robotic bosses, and acquire their unique weapons to conquer the final cataclysmic clash.
