the portable megaman games are fascinating, it's starting to seem like portable titles are where innovation happens since they're lower cost and safer than full titles. Lots of stuff that became standard in Mega Man started in the portables, the Boost system came from Sonic Rush, etc - ThreadSky

Recall that V was the first stand alone one that didn’t recycle old robot masters. Isn’t it the first in which he fired his arm as a weapon?

Or how the portable Castlevanias were the actual sequels to Symphony of the Night.

People can hate on it all they want, but Portable Ops was the one that introduced the whole soldier recruitment mechanic that would become a staple in Peacewalker and Phantom Pain.
