MM8BDM V4A - V4B Roll Call!

[CutmanMike]

Mega Man fans rejoice, as Mega May continues to explode with new Mega Man content and announcements! As expected, Cutstuff continue the celebrations with a new version of Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch! This update includes Mega Man & Bass content, a game that was released on the Super Nintendo originally in Japan only but eventually made it's way onto GBA around the world. Did you know: Capcom made Mega Man & Bass on the SNES for kids who weren't rich enough to own a Playstation to play Mega Man 8?

Notes
Congrats on the MM8BDM dev team for pulling it off once again. Most cutstuff fans know this but for those who don't, I don't actually contribute a lot to these updates anymore other than the singleplayer stuff (boss fights, save system) and generally sit in the back and say stuff like "That's TOO FUN we can't have that in!" or "That makes sense DO IT!" and other various grunting noises. Ivory, Messatsu and the others weaing proud King badges are the ones you should be thanking for this release. Hope you enjoy the update and the boss fights (they may be my best ones yet).

[Celebi]

Woohoo, I hope everyone enjoys it, I tried my hardest in testing and making sure it is bug free!

If you do find any bugs/problems, be sure to report it HERE, and not in this topic.

I wish there was a download that only contained the pk3 and the wad.
It would make things easier for people who don't even use any of the other files.
