10 Intimidating Video Game Bosses With The Strangest Weak Spots
1. Metal Man - Mega Man 2
Whenever anyone makes anything, there's a lengthy Research & Development period that often includes a working prototype to demonstrate what the final product will be capable of and this is true of the story of Metal Man - Dr Wiley's very first creation first introduced in Mega Man 2.
Naturally, the first version of the so-called 'Robot Masters' has a few issues and one of these is being totally villainous and hellbent on destroying the game's protagonist: Mega Man; his considerably nicer and improved younger 'brother'.
Mega Man 2's boss fights were a bit repetitive and not unlike the Zelda dungeon pattern of trawl through area, obtain dungeon item, use dungeon item to beat boss but Metal Man's boss fight is an absolute joke as his key weakness is metal...
To be specific, it is Metal Man's first encounter with Mega Man gifts the player the "Metal Blade" and the second round that exposes the weirdest boss weakness of them all - Metal Man is weak to exactly what he is made from and that's just daft, to be honest.
