While the original game was only a modest hit, this sequel became the best selling game in the Mega Man series, selling over 1.5 million copies. To this day, it is considered not only one of the best {{NES}} games and one of the best, if not the best, Mega Man game, but also one of the greatest video games of all time. It has also been said to be Kenji Inafuane, the co-creator of Mega Man, as his favorite Mega Man game.

While the core gameplay is largely the same, many changes have been made to make the gameplay far more flexible and accessible to gamers than the original. Two difficulty settings and a new password function are present, three items and E-Tanks are around to make the game far more forgiving in difficulty. The new boss roster has been bumped up to eight robots rather than six, and the stage designs are far more ingenious than before. The presentation has also been taken up a notch, with lushly designed stages, better sprites a cartoony plethora of enemies, and some energetic 8-bit tunes to top off the sunday. The scoring system from the original was permanently dropped, but it wasn't missed. All in all, it manages to top the original in just about every way.
