Mega Man (Game Gear) Retro Commentary

[nintengamer3v0lve]

surely a remake of a magaman game

[Disthron]

Umm... don't almost all platformers have vertical scrolling? There are quite a few games where you can look down by crouching. I think the reason early Mega Man games didn't have vertical strolling was becouse of the limitations of the NES.

[LotsaSpaghetti84]

So the game was outsourced to some obscure US company? No wonder it's complete crap. The music and sound is horrible. The graphics are good though.

Mega Man 3, 4, and 5 are my favorite Mega Man games.

[GeneratorNJ]

Ugh, I wish the screen on my gamegear wasn't lame.

[slightlyoutofreach01]

I honestly don't see this as being any worse than the Gameboy Megaman games. At least the graphics are better, it's in color, and it doesn't run in slow motion.

This game is MEH--it's ripped off of its NES counterparts. The Dr. Wily level is not even original, it's Quickman's lair from MMII (NES).

first time i see Mega Man for Game Gear look really nice

[puccaperson]

At 4:08 I knew just how you feel! This is why I liked the charge up in Megaman 4 alot more!

[SirPrufrock]

Gawd I remember playing this in 1st grade. And no wonder it missed me off so much!

[Alby4t5]

The only game Mega didn't lose his charge when getting hit in was Megaman 4. Just thought I'd mention that.

[puccaperson]

@Alby4t5 Actually there was also Megaman 7!

[rhaught5]

So it's zoomed in and copied levels. Guess I'm not missing anything.

[Jono1874]

play it on psp using SMSpsp with the "rewind" function. It makes the game actually playable.

[megagrey]

I think US Gold also made those Indiana Jones games that UrinatingTree ripped on.

I've got two Game Gears, and both have problems with their screens. And here's a perfect example of how even good games get dumbed down on the system anyway.

[Roxxxxxxxbottttter]

A mediocre Mega Man??? Well, I never!

[Radien]

Nice job making short work of that boss. Yeah, this adaptation definitely looks problematic, but it's nowhere as horrific as the DOS games...

Also: pew pew pew!

[lordmace2001]

OK better then PC but i think the gameboy ones are better.

[leon102]

The gameboy ones were developed by Capcom, so yeah, they are worth playing.
