Just so people know world 2 was made by a different team and Capcom was so disappointed they immediately hired the original world developers and the rest is history

Quint isn't a Mega Man Killer because he literally IS Mega Man.

Megaman World:A Decent Start. Megaman World 2:A Mediocre Sequel. Megaman World 3:A Solid Improvement. Megaman World 4:A Genuinely Great Game. Megaman World 5:A Amazing Ending.

One project I’d like to bring up that wasn’t mentioned is Mega Man: Rulers of Space which is a remake of Mega Man V in the style of Mega Man 7.

It’s funny though: if you ask the fandom, I think most will tell you that World 4 is one of the best games in the series. The level themes might be reused, but a lot of the actual level designs are improved from the NES versions

World IV is straight-up one of my favorite games in the franchise. The cinematic presentation and addition of a shop system before Mega Man 7 got around to introducing those concepts into the console entries was not something I were expecting from a mere side entry on inferior hardware. The introduction to the Wily Machine in particular absolutely floored me when I first saw it.

The fact that you consider Rockman World 4 unremarkable because it reuses NES contents yet you say that it's an upgrade from the previous titles and at times you actually praise the game based on its merits is so fucking annoying lol

I wonder if he records these videos like scott does or if he's actually on the floor laying on his stomach kicking his feet in the air

Strange this video doesn't mention that dustman in world 3 is like the most hellish megaman stage that has ever been concieved and cannot be cheesed because its WHERE YOU GET RUSH JET FROM

World 4 is phenomenal, and world 5 is a masterpiece

HOW DARE YOU SAY NES 4 IS MID!!!

20:38 Yeah. There's a reason why the song for Ballade's DLC level in 10 is called "Farewell to Ballade"

The entire time I was waiting for you to explain what these colored megaman gameboy games are. Super excited for Mania!

I was super disappointed when these dropped on NSO cause it means there won't be a collection coming any time soon. A colorized compilation would be phenomenal.

Dr. Wily's revenge was my first classic Mega Man game. Like, it was so early in my Mega Man Fandom that I didn't know Mega Man and Mega Man X were different characters. I bought this game at Wal-Mart when I was a kid and assumed I would have all of X's abilities like dashing and wall-jumping. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Never beat it until it came out on 3DS back in the day.

Wait... so in Mega Man 2...Dr. Wily makes a Time Machine that can't travel into the past, but it can travel into the future, and he uses it to travel to the future and go back to the present... but if you traveled into the future, wouldn't the present become the past??? Am I overthinking again???

Having played Megaman V now instantly in top 5 Megaman games for me I did all the Megaman GB in order when they came out on NSO and enjoyed them, especially 3 and 4, but V being such a tight enjoyable game, especially with the new buster and shop. I enjoy GB VI and V more than the Nes versions

I actually really love playing World 2 because it is so easy to finish when time is short. Otherwise World 5 is the definitive GameBoy title that even gives Xtreme 1+2 a run for their money.

world 2 might blow, but the rushjet1 version of the ost is some of my favorite music ever, not just game music,favorite music in general… also play quint’s revenge

World 4 and 5’s production values are insane, I love showing them off to my friends who haven’t played them. Also can’t believe Ant said MM4 was mid smh As for World 2’s music, it’s ass because of poor sound programming. It sounds fine when it’s actually programmed properly.

Quint's Revenge is a fangame sequel/remake of MM2 with Quint as the player character (the jackhammer only shows up as a temporary power-up). Pretty good game with lots of new bosses, it's still basically Megaman World 2 with a more sharpened design.

I agree with good ol' Ant' about MM6 being better than MM2. Rush Jet & Power Adaptors ftw. Also, the MM6 OST is insanely underrated.

World 2’s music is so high because apparently, there was a weird thing with the music where it played an octave higher than it’s supposed to be

I love the detail in V's intro which shows Rock still has the same Buster as IV, as he does take the recoil when firing it.

It's weird to think that Mega Man 7 is actually Rockman World 6.

I'm pretty sure someone else in the comments already brought this topic, but apparently, the reason why the pitch in Mega Man World 2 is so annoyingly high is because of a bug that makes it like 12 octaves high. There's a fanmade patch that fixes the bug, and it shows how the soundtrack was supposed to sound like.

something i like better about MMW2 is that you can actually stop in midair like in the console games, as opposed to the other world games where your speed carries over into midair even if the dpad direction isn't held down (i also kinda like that its easy, cuz the run-n'-gunnin is still fun)

Well this is enormously nostalgic i to this day remember coming home from school and watching your megaman playthroughs on old channels it helped me get through school and the bullying as id just think i get home and can watch your next episode Ive been here right from Sonic 3 on your first channel

I heard that Napalm Man’s stage on game boy is actually better than on NES

Love the lore behind Quint plus his design. Essentially a green colorswap of MegaMan with Quickman's boomerang headpiece.

Just got into megaman, with 2 especially pulling me towards classic, and honestly I enjoy world 2 so much! Ill try to see it through before tackling the better world games but, if this game has one fan I can be them... the music is so precious...

When I was a kid (late 80s-early 90s) I would only get 2-3 games a year and I had terrible luck with my picks. This may be why I became obsessed with video game magazines! All we had to go on was the back of the box. I ended up with stuff like Karate Champ, Tiger-Heli and….Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum on NES, Boxxle, Alfred Chicken, and Mega Man II on Game Boy. Ugh. I played that game to death and I really don’t understand how I suffered through that horrible ear piercing sound. I guess I just didn’t know any better! I think it’s all up an octave from what was intended.

Fun fact. I've followed you a *long* time. First video was you playing through Mega Man 9, because I had no means to play it. Now I'm doing the same thing for another Megaman series. Full circle.

7:24 Hell yeah, me too! Mega Man 6 is my favorite of the classic series!

I am shocked you can talk about mega man world 3 and not mention that Dustman’s stage was way overtuned for difficulty kit has some of the hardest platform int in the entire series, and you only get the Rush Jet when you beat Dustman so you’ll have no choice but to experience every moment of it!

...I... Never noticed the NSO ad for the five games had the lives counter reflect on what game was being shown on-screen... That was an unnecessary but amusing detail I would've never noticed.

Mediocrity? These games are amazing, especially the DX hack versions in color.

WHY IS HIS NAME QUINT

Quint kinda just exists to explain why classic Megaman isnt mentioned at all in X

Thank you for the colorizations mention 💙

Mega Man 2 GB was my first ever Mega Man, so it has a lot of nostalgia for me. I accept it's flaws and that it's not a great game, but I still love it. Fun fact: It's the only Mega Man game where Mega Man absorbs the weapon power from the final boss. In the ending cutscene you see him use that new missile weapon against Wily.

III IV are unironically better presented than the NES games they're based on, and V is hands down better looking and featured than the entire NES series up to that point combined

I would have never have known about mega man Mania. If it wasn't for you talking about it, thank you.

10:46 Correct Ant. Shadow MegaMan is effectively "let's do the Quint plot but with more meat and potatoes, and also a robot master who is an air conditioner." And honestly? The Wonderswan game is genuinely pretty good.

11:58-12:00 Fittingly enough, Mega Man World 1 and 2 released back-to-back in 1990, so you're playing them as they were meant to be played.

"I even like the mid megaman games" immediately lists the best megaman game on the NES in my opinion.

Yeah, my tastes do not align with this review because even though I played the NES games I’ve always wanted to have these because of their unique take on everything. Even MMII. They were shorter games, but they had to be. They were made to be played on the go. For titles that were “unremarkable” Capcom sure as hell sure as hell seemed to like a LOT of the ideas as starting as early as Mega Man 6 on NES you started seeing elements from the Game Boy games making appearances. MM7’s shop was a complete nod to the GB games, and so was its game structure.

I remember seeing these games at my friends' houses growing up. I was always curious how they compared to the original games. Cool to see what you thought about them!

Literally haven’t met anyone other than myself that says 6 is the best of the NES era, absolutely hyped to see you agree

Mega Man II (Game Boy) was outsourced to a developer named Thinking Rabbit... which had little to no idea how to design a Mega Man Game. Everything looks, feels, and especially sounds wrong. The soundtrack to this game is so bad that people have actively tried remaking it to lower the ridiculously high pitches.

Nah, World 2 has always been my favorite.

NES MM4's one of the best. I'll take that opinion to my grave.

Not completely true with Dr. Wily’s Revenge being the only subtitle! On the licensed games side we have Mega Man 3: The Robots are Revolting and Rockman & Forte: Mirai Kara no Chousensha! All of the mainline games have subtitles in Japan too, but I know you mean in English Mega Man World 1 happens between Mega Man 2 and 3 For World 2, there is a bug that made the music so high pitched

Who on Earth says the Robot Master rematch gauntlet is a BAD part of a Mega Man game? (Except for MM1 on NES. That one's trash that got fixed in 2 and onward, then MM Unlimited thought they had to fix something that wasn't broken.)

love boss refights in MM games. to be able to have every weapon at your disposal and to abuse every bosses weaknesses and feel how much stronger you are than at the start. good stuff.

IV first introduced the shop. Sadly, it stopped after the great V.

I played all 5 when they released on NSO, and after actually experiencing them myself I can definitively say that 2 is painful and V is my most favorite ^^

Idk, as someone who's playing these as their first Mega Man games, I kinda enjoy. Difficult, yeah, but kinda fun. I'm on 3 rn

I'm so sick of hearing MMII is bad or whatever. It's a decent sequel, an easy entry point in a rather difficult serie, and it has tons of charm, including its OST. Yeah, I love this OST, it's original, it's catchy, it's great. MMII is good.

Mega Man Mania is on the way ;)

"I beat this game in 45 minutes" What? MM1 on GB was very hard for me, i love it, but theres no way i finished it in 45 minutes.

I like to believe that rockman and forte changer from the future is apart of the meganan handheld series.

It not a demake it just a mega man side story

I love MegaMan. Thank you.

I don't know after the slowness and frustration of Rockman World I think 2 was kind of a nice break in a way. And Clash Man's music is actually good.

I played these on the 3DS virtual console and I thought they were inoffensive. Like yeah, they’re obviously not on the same level of polish as the NES games, but with the smaller screen size, that’s to be expected. Still, I had a lot of fun with these games.

I thought i remembered hearing as a general consensus that all the megaman games on the game boy were at least solid aside from the second one. So back in the day i bought the first one on 3ds virtual console. I did not think it was solid, it made me depressed

Rockman Mega World AKA The Willy wWrs... another classic series with subtitle...

What happened to paper mario ttyd 64??? 😅🥺

I've grown up with the Megaman game boy games. And find myself enjoying the first game more than the others mainly because of its simplicity. I do enjoy the other games as well, (with the exception of MM2), I just find more enjoyment in smaller scale games like the first game. 😊

I've only played 3 before these were put on Nintendo Switch Online. I thought it was okay, but it ultimately felt like taking elements Mega Man 3 & 4 on the N.E.S and porting them to other hardware. I do need to check out V though.

Megaman world 1 takes place between 2 and 3

*i got a bone to pick with you about you saying 4 is mid*

Still waiting for that Metroid prime 3 review

I guess I'm the only one that likes Megaman 2 on Gameboy. And I really like the music but yeah, the pitch is wrong. There're pitch corrected versions on KZfaq and are much better

Okay legit question did AntDude get inspiration from ScotttheWoz or is it the other way around?

4:41 - Yeah this right here is why I actually LOATHE the first game. Bad enough it dumps a bunch of new Weapon Gets on you that you can only use in the final level, two of the Weapon Gets in the game overall are *fire based!* The fuck were you doing guys?! And that's on top of this first game being pretty shit in general. 9:19 - Seriously this alone makes the second game better than the first for me. 12:04 - And here it is, my childhood. One of two games I got with my brand new Game Boy, one of the few Mega Man games I ever owned for years up until the Gamecube era and to this day is still one of my all time favorites.

02:23 actually it's between Megaman 2 and 3

I'm surprised the Gameboy versions weren't included in the collection a few years ago.

Mega man 2 had sub title the secret of doctah wahwee

Rob Man would like to have a word with you about Megaman 2, especially the songs

I guess we're not going to critique the ridiculous rarity of healing energy drops in these games?

Megaman World 1, 3, 4, 5, Wily Wars and X3 were developed by Minakuchi Engineering. Biox developed Mega Man World 2 but due to poor reception Capcom didn't rehire them. Inafune actually like Punk so much that he personally designed Punk.exe. Punk.EXE is the only navi used by Mr Famous to not be designed by Fans. Those Navis instead were used later in the game.

So the footage for V is using the DX hack it would seem. Which is fine because its a fantastic hack, but it doesn't reflect what people would play on NSO. Either way the thoughts on 1&2 are mostly accurate, but 3&4 I definitely disagree on.

Gonna be honest...i played the heck out of 2...way too much. I loved it. I don't know if i was ignorant stupid or slow. Maybe all of them

somebody is remaking megaman V in 16 bit

i think you’ve incurred the wrath of the whole mega man fandom by saying that mega man 4 is meh. i don’t think mega man 2 is seen with such rose-tinted lenses anymore, but mega man 4 is considered to be a pretty good mega man game. it’s probably the most put-together game in the main series outside of 9 and 10

Considering Capcom is thinking about remaking the first three Classic Series games (based on their recent poll), I'd love to see them revisit the approach of the first four Rockman World games for bonus content. *Not* recreating the original Game Boy games, just splicing the appropriate bosses together and adding Enker, Quint, Punk, or Ballade. If the remakes *do* happen *and* do well enough to then get the rest of the core classic series games, I'd actually love to see them adding a bonus mode that just lets you remix the games. Not a true randomizer so much as stitching together 8 robot masters (along with their Stages and relevant Items), some Fortress Boss Stages/Bosses, and then Wily Fights. Though I wouldn't complain if they also recreated Enker, Quint (yes, even Quint), Punk, and Ballade to add a "9th Robot Master" bonus Stage in somewhere as well.

Lol i loved mega man 2 on gb it was my first classic my first game was mega man X so the 4 fighting robot masters then 4 more always thought it was a classic thing cuz i played megaman 7 and mega man 3 gb

Let me explain the timeline of these games realeses for the those who dont know. Mega Man I or a.k.a dr. Wilys revenge came out on July 26, 1991 that were made by a third party company named Minicuchi Engineering. After the somwhat succses of Mega Man I, Capcom that thay it was not the best that tge Mega Man handheld exsperiance vould get, so right after this they got another third party company named thinking rabbit to make Mega Man II and then release it on December 20, 1991. After the failure and terribleness of Mega Man II, Capcom notified Minicuchi Engineering that thier work could possibly be used again for Mega Man III. They then realesed the Game on December 11, 1992 and after Capcom saw that thier work was very polished, they kept Minicuchi to make Mega Man IV, which came out October 29, 1993, Mega Man V, which came out July 22, 1994, and even Mega Man X3 on December 1, 1995. The thought of letting other companies make Mega Man games did give nightmares to some of the developers but they seemed to be soon proven wrong. But unfortunatly, in the early 2000s' Minicuchi felt like they where too uncreditied to make more games and so they quietly shut thier bussines down and they were never heard of ever again.....

I feel like Im crazy, EVERYONE says Mega Man II's title music is ass but I love it, such a bop

Japanese mega man 1-6 had subtitles too

I finished MMII, not too shabby! Is it better than the NES? Eh, but back then, if that was your option to play Megaman I would find AWESOME Now we're spoiled with choices. Main feature here is an historic short game

Whats worse, Castlevania on gameboy or Mega Man 2 on gameboy

Just a heads up, Mega Man Xtreme just ports over existing Mega Man X levels to the game boy, Blast Hornet is the only one with a unique level and it's mostly floating platforms

dude plays

12:32 Actually, that’s not the story at all, & it’s the American manual story that’s featured in every port & in the NSO. It turns out the plot is that the weather around the world has been changing & has been causing some chaos around the world. It turns out that Dr. Wily reprogrammed a Supercomputer to alter the weather & subsequently sent his robots(like the four from MM3) & are attacking the city. There’s no mention of Wily digging in the earth & using oil shore platforms in the Japanese manual. At the end of the day, it’s just an excuse as to why World 3’s plot happens like how World 1’s plot is that Wily reprograms the MM1 robots & creates Enker as part of his plan so Rock goes & beats him, but I just wanted to point it out. *Also, what did you say about Mega Man 4 being mid?* 🙃

1, 3, 4, and 5 were Minakuchi Engineering, who also did the Genesis collection and X3. 2 was some garbage and whoever made it is too embarrassed to own up to it.

Ah, yes. The company that made the Mega Man World games (minus 2). Great work there! ...Until you realize they are the team who also made Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Mega Man X3

I started with 4 because I love nes 4, then I played V and loved it. Then I went backwards and played 3 2 1. Definitely don’t recommend that you play 1&2.
