It isn't the same. The revolutionary thing is moving and fighting, while you still automatically face the enemy. That is something 3D action adventure games to this day use, and if not the controls are often deemed clunky and unintuitive. Nintendo talked about how they got inspired for this solution by watching a traditional japanese fight, where the contestants are bound to each other by a rope. That was their basic idea in implementing that. |
Tbh when I first posted, I forgot you couldn't move while locking on in Legends since you could in the sequel. But, it's still the same general idea, and I think Mega Man would have gotten there on their own. I didn't mean to imply that Nintendo stole the idea or anything, just wanted to give some love to a poor neglected game.
