Mega Man World on Game Boy | Green Screen Blue Bomber Mediocrity

My start with Mega Man was Mega Man 2 on the Gameboy and it was also one of my first games period. Due to my young age, I absolutely struggled with beating a single level, which I always picked Metal Man because his stage was cool.

It legitimately took me a handful of years to beat Metal Man's stage but it felt so awesome when I finally did. I don't remember if I ever completely beat the game as I don't remember the Mega Man 3 bosses but when I beat Metal Man I know I then went on to beat more levels.

I'm a megaman 6 guy too!

Fun fact: There had been plans to release these games in a collection on GBA at the same time as the Anniversary Collection on GCN/PS2/Xbox. They had even claimed they would include the option to play them in their original black & white or a new fully-colorized version. But then its release got delayed, and later canceled. Capcom claimed the reason they had to cancel it was that they lost the source code for the games. But this seems fishy, as why even start out planning this in the first place then? And how did they later get released on the 3DS eShop or on Switch Online then?

I actually like the kickback from the buster in World 4. It did help sell the shot as powerful, and it added a little bit of slight drawback to using the charge shot. Yeah, it’s easy to compensate for and will probably never really cause any problems for you, but at least it’s now slightly less braindead than “free triple damage” to always have a charge shot ready.

surprised this isn't in the main channel, this video is great!

Half the video and didnt realise this was an antdude video

2’s soundtrack is actually amazing, it’s the sound quality

to explain the megaman 2 ost....uh it was a coding mistake causing the music to be way to high pitched

Just for someone who played all megaman GB series on original Gameboy. The first one is not made well and hard it's like you played kaizo Megaman but beatable. Megaman 2 is very easy and a breeze to play with the powerful blade weapon. Megaman 3 is average in difficulty but improved as in the review. Megaman 4&5 are the same not that difficult but the good thing I don't remember exactly that one of them when you die on the last bosses you will continue from that boss and not from the start of the stage.

Mega Man II is actually my favorite of the Game Boy titles.

I think AntDude was a bit critical on Mega Man World 1-4, having the same things in a new game isn't a deal breaker.
Also Mega Man & Bass doesn't deserve the hate it gets, thankfully people are seeing that

Mega Man World 2, like others have said here, was done by a different developer and CAPCOM apparently rushed to get it out for the holiday season; that's why the game is problematic. They probably thought that because they were just carrying a bunch of stuff over from already existing games (NES Mega Mans and GB Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge) it would cut down on production time. They learned through experience it doesn't work that way.

All things considered, I think the game gets shit on more than it really deserves - it's not THAT bad - and the music problem in that game is also a bug. There are ROM patches for it that fix the pitch so you can tell it wasn't supposed to come out that way. Not a quality Mega Man game, but one that suffered from problems outside their control rather than straight up incompetence.

MM 4 is “mid”? MM World 4 is “unremarkable”? Bruh, gotta hard disagree with you there. I’ll take Mega Man 4 over 5 and 6 any day. Mega Man 3 and 4 were about as good as it got on the NES. Also if the ONLY thing MM World 4 has going against it is reusing assets and music from 4 and 5 then so be it. Doesn’t make it “unremarkable.” Still dig your content though.

mega man world iv's wily boss theme is probably my favorite boss theme in the series

Alternate title of the video: "The reason why I don't like rewind function". I don't wanna ramble or start a debate here on what game is better or worse, so I'll just say this...
Try playing these games WITHOUT rewind function and THEN tell us about your experience. And that's not even a reproach. I am genuine here in thinking you deffinitely should try playing without rewind. That will be a COMPLETELY different experience.
Not to mention, I'm really curious if your opinion on Megeman World 2 being the worst will still stand, cause without that sweet-sweet Rewind... Oh boy, 1 and 3 might ruffle your feathers)))

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.

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.

I love MegaMan. Thank you.

Mega man 2 had sub title the secret of doctah wahwee

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 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

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

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

It not a demake it just a mega man side story

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.)

It's good, actually. Not as good as 5 though.

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...

dude plays

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

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

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

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

Megaman world 1 takes place between 2 and 3

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

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.

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.

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

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

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