In this Japanese independent computer game Megaman meets Dracula (Akumajou Dracula). Haven't played it yet. Maybe Icy want to check this out as he is into the Japanese independent gaming scene lately. There is also a translation project on the way (http://schwer-muta.blogspot.com/) but game is import-friendly even without a future English patch.

Remember before you install the game you must set your computer in Japanese regional setting.

I've played this. It's just Rockman with little girl sprites. It's a good Rockman clone, but it's still just a Rockman clone.

[BurritoLardoSupremo]

Rockman games were churned out on an almost yearly basis for a reason. They're usually brain-dead, by-the-numbers platforming. RKS seemed to me just minting out another cheaply produced Rockman-esque game.

About the only game I can really respect in the doujin Rockman-styled games is Megamari, and even then, it did the same thing RKS did only even less interesting. What I think it DID do right was actually make some very frenetic boss battles.

Of course, if you're playing limp, tepid platforming for 10 minutes just for 2 minutes of a frenetic boss battle, I think you'd be better off looking elsewhere.
