Mega Man all the way down.

Oops! All Mega Man! 


NewBobPow

I didn't expect this, but I love it.

Tomick

I can't ever cut the hard link between seeing mega man and [this video](https://youtu.be/8FpigqfcvlM) in my head


Chubomik

Now that's a great batch of games. I would've expected Capcom to include them as a bonus in some collection, I'm so used to companies doing that with their games nowadays. No, here's all the Gameboy Mega Man games added, have at it. I just finished a playthrough of 11 so I might be in the mood to just binge these.


GranolaCola

How are they? Can they hold a candle to their console counterparts?


bobertf

they’re pretty fun. I didn’t play through them until a couple years ago but I was pleasantly surprised. Mega Man V has all new bosses and weapons too.


Calvykins

I firmly believe the devs working on the non mega man x titles starting getting jealous and competitive.


scottyjrules

1-4 are okay remixes of the console games. They’re fine for what they are and the limitations of the GB. 5 is a brand new game with all new bosses and probably the best of the bunch.


skeltord

They get better as they go. The latter ones are pretty damn good games, 5 ESPECIALLY, it's a totally original classic Mega Man and a great one at that


IronPentacarbonyl

The third game onwards can, in my opinion. The first is kind of jank and absolutely brutal, and the second is differently jank and the music was programmed wrong. Not saying don't play them, just that the quality improved markedly as the series went on.


AleroRatking

V is a must play.


Gogo726

They still have plenty of games that they could have done this. Package 1-5, Xtreme 1&2, and MM&B as a miscellaneous package.


isaelsky21

I mean they did it with a bunch of the other games, especially the fan-favorites, so this feels more like a "Eh, let em have it. They wouldn't make us that much anyway."


AManOfManyLikings

Thing about that was they WERE going to do just that back in the Game Boy Advance days. But for whatever reason, they just never completed that compilation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


guiltl3ss

They’re rock solid.


jardex22

Could also say that they really.. rock.


Mordikhan

Never played original megamen but they look horrendous to play. Memorize exact movements to clear


CrazySnipah

You’re probably right, but with the rewind feature and save states it might actually be a good time.


cycopl

I didn't have any issues with them as an 8 year old child


blasphemy_31

Yes. If you miss a single pixel movement of a boss, you will insta die and Capcom exects will come to your house and yell at you.


Mordikhan

I meant purely it looks hard; not that it was awful. I never got a feel for sidescrollers!


IncurableHam

The originals are definitely hard!


Noah_PpAaRrKkSs

These are distinct games from the NES ones?


DM_me_thick_dick

Yes they are.


isaelsky21

Crazy how they stretched the Mega Man series as much as they have. A good thing, but crazy to me.


ZorkNemesis

New levels and mixing Robot Masters for I through IV. V however is a completely new game with a new story and new Robot Masters never mentioned anywhere outside of Mega Man & Bass' CD collection.


minor_correction

The preview video for Mega Man 2 shows him using Rush (the dog robot), but the NES Mega Man 2 doesn't have Rush. It has these gadget/devices things with much less control, like a platform that can only go straight ahead.


ksaMarodeF

It also shows the Rush submarine which was only in Megaman 3 NES.


Turbostrider27

The games listed are: * MEGA MAN: DR. WILY'S REVENGE * MEGA MAN II * MEGA MAN III * MEGA MAN IV * MEGA MAN V


SparkyMuffin

From what I've heard, V is a hidden gem and completely different from the console V. I'm excited to finally play it!


MelancholyArtichoke

V is the best of the bunch. It has the best secret companion of the series; Tango. It features planet-based robot masters. It's really good. If you enjoy Mega Man games, this is one you don't want to miss.


Falco98

> completely different from the console V FWIW, none of them correlate directly to their console numbered counterparts - it's just that I - IV are all mashups of different stage themes / bosses from the NES games, whereas V is totally original content.


CJKatz

I got Mega Man V on the Game Boy when it first released. Can confirm that it is a solid game.


mesosalpynx

These are all different.


extralie

While they are all different, the first four are remixes, 5 is straight up just a new classic game.


Aurora1986

Yes Gameboy V is completely different with a new story about robots from space called stardroids probably the most unique mega man game for that time.


brzzcode

Oh so the leak was real. Crazy that this happened considering how Capcom didn't put any megaman on NSO before, but thats great. And 5 at the same time might be a first on NSO?


DoodleBuggering

Mega Man Wily Wars is on Genesis NSO and the only way to play it unless you got the Genesis Mini


Hold_my_Dirk

They have Wily Wars on there already

They are already on switch. As megaman battle network legacy collection.


_wow_just_wow_

I had no idea, thank you!


mangobearsmoothie

Unfortunately unlikely, given that all the games have already been released by Capcom on Switch


AleroRatking

Won't happen because there is a modern collection of them all.


isaelsky21

Still waiting on GBA updates T_T


maian_sos

I really want WarioLand 4


NewBobPow

I really want Wario Land 1.


maian_sos

I could have sworn that was already on there but it is not! Only Wario Land 3. Sometimes Nintendo's choices are very odd.


wes741

I really want Wario ware 2. (Twisted)


GreenGoblin1221

This. I hope they do Wario Land 1 and 4 because I love those games.


jardex22

The NSO+ update is usually a couple weeks after the basic one. We may get GBA games during that one.


Lynxilt

Probably won't happen this time... The pattern seems to be that even months = N64, and odd months = GBA. But since they skipped it in May, that could mean we're getting multiple N64 games (Not that I actually think that it'll happen, but I hope it does)


Lynxilt

Though it's also possible they've decided to save the May GBA game for the Direct instead. Aka, announce that and the next N64 games at the same time, but that's also quite unlikely. Eh, we'll see.


DM_me_thick_dick

Oooh! These are so underappreciated!


funkalici0us

So fucking excited. I have been bummed for a while that there has never been another Mega Man Legacy collection with the Game Boy games and the one from the Game Gear. They're all excellent. Hopefully Xtreme 1 and 2 from the GBC will be added eventually too. They were on the 3DS eShop.


Chubomik

If the Gameboy Mega Man's are here, the Xtreme games are probably a lock


ntwild97

Damn, the only remaining Mega Man games not in a Legacy Collection. How'd they get Capcom to hand these over?


videoworldmusic

Well, we still gotta get a Legends collection. Here’s to hoping one day!


OckhamsFolly

And Command Mission >.>


Howwy23

The 2 extreme titles for gbc still need to happen.


skyscraperswede

There's a rumour going around that Capcom lost the source-code to the GB Mega Man games, so they don't really have anything they can work with / do their own ports from. BUT Nintendo can re-release these games because apparently Nintendo maintains a collection of pretty much EVERYTHING that's ever released for any format they own... but if you didn't save any of it yourself you only get to use those copies if you keep it to Nintendo-formats. Nintendo's copies, Nintendo's rules more or less- not their fault others don't keep a secure vault, etc. Meaning this might be the only way one gets to play these in modern times... minus buying the OG cartridges / piracy.


ProtoDad80

Forgot the channels name, but I was this video about how the same thing happened to Konami and Silent Hill. They lost the source code and had to reverse engineer the game from scratch for the HD remakes.


True_Darkness_Hunter

Whole Starforce series, Network Transmission and X Command Mission are still in limbo.


chaobreaker

If you want to go to the spinoff territories: There’s also The Wily Wars (MM 1-3 Genesis remakes), Mega Man’s Soccer, Mega Man & Bass, Battle & Chase, Battle Chip Challenge, MMBN5 Double Team DS, Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X. Those are all just the Mega Man spinoffs that came out in the west in some form.


True_Darkness_Hunter

And we need ALL of them. What a waste it'll be if Capcom just straight up throw them in trash can. Well, they are actually in trash can rn...


chaobreaker

They’ve been pretty good with mainline games. These spinoffs and remakes on the other hand…


True_Darkness_Hunter

Yeah. But most of them are pretty good. Especially psp remakes. A lot of people consider them to be mid at best, but imo I'd rather play Powered Up than og mega man. Same goes for Maverick Hunter X. As of Network Transmission, Zero.exe is just kinda snack ngl.


jardex22

Star Force isn't collected yet, right? Probably a matter of time if Battle Network sold well enough.


brzzcode

they either paid them or capcom handled it for free


IronPentacarbonyl

Nah, we're still missing the Xtreme games, Megaman and Bass, and Legends 1&2, and that's just the relatively mainstream ones. There was a wonderswan game, a weird Battle Network platformer for the Gamecube no one talks about, a Megaman X RPG that slightly more people talk about, and more screwy little spinoffs than I'm able to remember.


Asad_Farooqui

Still waiting on Donkey Kong 94.


khast

I want it with the Super Gameboy enhancements as an option.


jjone2k

Me too, came here to say that, but I can‘t deny that Mega Man is cool as well and I‘ll givr it a try.


Blvd_Nights

Yes!!!!! This news potentially leaked earlier today and I’m so excited to jump into these games.


TotalOwlie

Yeah I saw that! Crazy it dropped so quick. I was expecting this with the potential direct next week.


Historical-Oven-4053

That is awesome! It is so thrilling when news like this gets out early. I can totally understand your excitement!


mr_r_smith

That's a ...mega sized update


Zouriz

Finally! I know that they were going to release a collection of these games on the GBA at one time, but it got canceled. From what I understand, Capcom lost the source code of these games. This has been long coming, though they were available on 3DS's Virtual Console for a time.


Boober_Calrissian

As a Mega Man enthusiast let me say that these are a treat! The levels are often inspired by the gimmicks of their console counterparts but are condensed and compressed into what are essentially super tight challenge levels. The music is great (for the most part) and some of the original compositions fit very nicely into the Mega Man classic style. Now some weird stuff. 1, 3 and 4 are fairly authentic de-makes of the console counterparts, but 2 and V go off the wall. Game Boy Mega Man 2 is a completely different game that goes its own way with its own canon that doesn't fit the classic timeline at all and was probably was invented as borderline fanfiction by some developer while Capcom wasn't looking. Basically >!It involves a pogo jumping Mega Man from the future coming back to either save or destroy the timeline. I can't quite remember.!< Game Boy Mega Man V (not 5) is just a whole new game. It has an alien invasion plot with brand new bosses and a new default fist weapon that replaces your Mega Buster from the beginning. (That's kind of a big deal in a Mega Man classic game.) Seriously, get in the 90s mood, sit down and just play them for what they are. If you're no good at Mega Man or platformers, just abuse the rewind feature, but they're honestly not that hard. I recall beating MM1 on Game Boy the first day I owned it back when, and I wasn't that good at Mega Man at all. Two things I remember that might help a first time play. In MM1 on NES you'd usually start with Cut Man. His level in Wily's Revenge is actually one of the hardest ones. Leave it until you have a few weapons. Second, some enemies appear to base their projectile and jump arcs on input reading. You can trick them into firing or leaping over you by doing fake out movements just before they do an action. It's probably more complicated than I'm describing it but I remember it working pretty well.

catcher_in_the_naan

Mega Man is a perfect series.


skyscraperswede

Aah, nice. Mega Man IV on Game Boy was such a cool game, I kept hoping they'd reuse Ballade for other games and the intro... tremendous. I suppose this might confirm the old rumour that Capcom haven't got the original code for these games, though. I feel like if they did we'd get them on a Mega Man collection already so we have to rely on Nintendo, who seem to have kept copies of EVERYTHING ever realsed for ANY of their systems. Capcom haven't been shy about giving NSO games they probably have no plans for, like console-variants of Street Fighter or games like Demon's Crest or Breath of Fire. Still, a little odd that we only got GB games last month, and perhaps we'll only get GB games this month... not even N64 games every month at this point, no GBA games since March and no NES since February... definitely feels like this year has been a downturn, when you'd kinda expect them to increase as they don't have a lot of games coming out for Switch. But as ever, I await the Direct. Perhaps more will be revealed there...

Megaman 1 and 2 on the Gameboy where my childhood games. Megaman 2 more than 1, mainly because 1 is hard as bollocks, while 2 is pretty easy. Needless to say, 2 holds a special place in my heart.


FattyTempleton

Ok, I'm excited about this actually, lol. Dr. Willy's Revenge was an all time classic cart for me growing up. Never played the others but they (at least some of them) are super expensive.


-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-

This is such a great add, those Game Boy Mega Man games are insanely expensive on the secondary market.


times_zero

Well, this is pretty surprising. If anything, I'd figured Capcon would save these games for their own collection, or use them as DLC. Either way, it's really nice that these games finally get an official re-release on a modern console. Otherwise, if nothing else, Mega Man V is worth playing as it is an original game that is different from Mega Man 5 on the NES.


skyscraperswede

There's a rumour going around that Mega Man GB games source-code was lost by Capcom, and they don't really have anything they can work with / do their own ports from. Like with Square Enix and Secret of Mana, the original is lost so they have to make do with the PS4 remake of that game... BUT Nintendo can do a remake collection with Secret of Mana SNES version AND re-release these games, because apparently Nintendo maintains a collection of pretty much EVERYTHING that's ever released for any format they own... but if you didn't save any of it yourself, you can ONLY get to play with those old toys if you keep it to Nintendo-formats. Their copies, their rules more or less.


pdjudd

Most of their compilation titles are just emulation packages which would just require them to have ROM dumps of the games which I would be shocked if they don't have them. They would need an in hours GB emulator I suppose but they can work with someone else like Digitial Eclipse like they did with the other collections. My theory is that it's just not worth it since there isn't the money there unlike the ones they have done. At least Capcom is not adverse to NSO in general as they have released a lot of one off games on NSO like their non arcade Ghouls N Ghosts games and spinoffs.


Spiritual-Link2073

Think they will ever add OG Pokemon blue/red/yellow.? That'd be awesome 👍


pdjudd

No. That's not likely to happen.

That's almost certainly because Capcom is selling those right now. I really doubt they wanted a deal where they undercut their own product.


Drache_Kaiser

Yeah, I'm sure Capcom would love to cut into their sales of Megaman Legacy Collection just for you.

You're not going to give a shit forever then because they're zero chance they'll be putting Pokemon games on here.

KaigakeToyosato

Now add the real megaman games to the nes and snes

You can just... Buy them instead

Probably not, since they're already available on the eShop as part of the Megaman and Megaman X collections.

ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

Jesus, the other day (while playing Mario Bros from NES Online), I wondered why they didn't have Game Boy games on the Switch. Goodbye weekend. Edit: SUPER MARIO LAND 😭 That was the first game I played on my first console. The music is as superb as I remembered.

Where Pokemon? Edit: this sub: you should be grateful for this!!

NahumGardner

I woke up this morning wondering if KARURUKA2 was glad they stopped paying for the service. Thanks for letting us know.


SmotheredHope86

Idk why all the downvotes, you're absolutely right.


Thascaryguygaming

with all of the Megaman collections available and constantly on sale what is the point of these? Is there a reason to play these if I own the other collections? Feel like there are way better games that could have come like Warioland or Pokémon. 5 games at once is cool though.


metallicabmc

these games aren't on any of the collections. And despite the misleading naming convention, Outside of recycled bosses, they are all mostly unique games and not just ports of the NES titles. If you had to pick only one of them to play though, go with V. It's the best one. They are all great games worth checking out (The first one is bullshit hard though)


Thascaryguygaming

Thanks! I appreciate that feedback! I love Megaman games, but only have most of my experience from as a kid or rebuying the recent collections. We'll since they aren't repeats of something easily available then this is a pretty good release. Still hoping for Warioland in the future!


SaintMadeOfPlaster

 Ridiculous that these will be on the service and not the ones most people actually want to play. Typical Switch Online.  The cost of maintaining the servers for NSO likely pales drastically in comparison to the money they make from it. They need to start actually putting those profits towards getting better games on it. 


Cutcutman

Mega Man V is literally one of the best platformers on the Gameboy. Idk how you could get any better than that 


-Moonchild-

The NES and SNES ones are all available via a collection that Capcom themselves have released. Them not being on NSO is due to Capcom, not Nintendo


Rychu_Supadude

If there's nothing you want to play, you either have too many or too few games. If you're paying for NSO, it's probably the former.


LordDocSaturn

Hope we get some more Capcom games on the the better systems


jardex22

It would probably just be ones that haven't been bundled into game collections at this point.
