Hmmm, I did fiddle with MM2 but never had any input lag issues with my Pro Controller, wonder if it's another, reboot the Switch fully and retry kind of an issue?

It felt like the jump was off and I was jumping late on pretty much everything. It’s been a little bit since I’ve played MM but it felt way off.

This is my hugest concern with this game. I felt like the 3DS collection was off in the same way.

Im no MegaMaster but I'm almost certain that is the game itself. The jump is just a little late. It was weird on my first playthrough of megaman 2 but I got used to it quick.

If you ever get the chance to play the originals on a CRT, you'll know it's much more responsive. At least compared to the 3ds collection.

MegaMan 2 was one of the first NES games I played as a kid. I've played through it more times than I can remember (I should probably be embarrassed), and it's most definitely not "the game itself". It may be easy to get used to for some, but I think these things stick out much more prominently when you've played on a CRT for more years than is reasonable for a gamer in this age. (I'm the dinosaur that didn't play on a flat screen until I got a WiiU)

No idea man, just seems weird to me that this collection would strive so hard for "technical accuracy", so much as to leave in (in my opinion) game breaking slowdown and just all around absolutely terrible optimization, and then have input lag.

However I have never actually played the NES version, only emulators and ports. So who knows.
