Other Mega Man / Rockman Action Games Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translations

Mega Man: The Wily Wars / Rockman Mega World (10.21.94)

One of the 90's greatest gaming oddities. Until 2019, Wily Wars was only available in America on the short lived Sega Channel. Despite the graphical and audio upgrades, Mega Man 1-3 still begs to be played on the NES.

The everlasting masterpiece, Rockman, has arrived powered up!!

As an addition to previous Rockman games, an original stage has been added. Also, your current progress can be saved with the included back-up function. Challenge yourself to both familiar, and original bosses! Make full use of your techniques and aim to clear the stages.


Mega Man and Bass / Rockman and Forte (Super Famicom) (4.24.98)

Released all the way into 1998, Rockman and Forte was meant to give loyal Super Nintendo owners a little something after all the hubbub Mega Man was creating on the PlayStation and Saturn.

Double Heroes on the attack!


You can finally choose to play as Forte, Rockman's eternal rival.

With the auto-firing Forte Buster, you can attack enemies from all directions!

Master the art of using both Rockman and Forte!


Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future (10.21.99)

This Wonder Swan exclusive was quite a bit different than the Super Famicom and its GBA port, however it launched to negative reviews. The "Yellow Devil" was amusingly called the "Grey Devil" in this monochrome release.

Within these tough stages, many traps await, with plenty to do both vertically and horizontally! Choose from the two strongest robots and enjoy!

Rockman's buster is going full throttle! There are new enemies to face!

Suddenly, Dark Rockman, also knows as Rockman Shadow, has appeared! With the emergence of this new enemy, Rockman and Forte decide to call a temporary truce and fight and together! Well now, it looks like the strongest "tag" (team) has been born!


Mega Man Maverick Hunter X / Irregular Hunter X (12.15.05)

The legendary Mega Man X received a polygonal remake on the PSP. I found this amazing when it released, but definitely prefer the 16-bit sprites these days.
