Mega Man & Bass

Mega Man & Bass, known in Japan as Rockman and Forte, is a game in the Mega Man Classic series. It takes place after Mega Man 8, but isn't officially Mega Man 9.

The player can play as both Mega Man and Bass. While Mega Man can charge his shots, Bass can fire in 7 directions (straight up, straight forward, or any diagonal) with a rapid-fire arm cannon. The original Super Famicom version of Rockman & Forte was marketed exclusively in Japan. However, before the Game Boy Advance version was released in the United States, the Super Famicom version was translated into English and Italian through console emulation.
