Probably the only time we'll see a full slate of Mega Man games in a NSO library if we're being honest.
After filling in some launch gaps last month, the Game Boy library on Nintendo Switch Online has just gotten a Mega boost.
The five Mega Man games for the original Game Boy have all been added to the service in one update tonight. This represents the largest group of additions to the Game Boy library since it launched in February 2023.
Released between 1991 and 1994, the first four Mega Man games (the first subtitled "Dr. Wily's Revenge") combined groups of four Robot Masters from the first five NES games. The fifth was a target title for the Super Game Boy in North America and featured bespoke bosses named after planets in our solar system.
So far, the only Mega Man games I've played and completed/finished are Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge and Mega Man II both for GB. Probably a weird place to start, especially for the date of 2023, but I found myself warming up to and enjoying the games as I working things out and get better at it on the first game (although I followed a poor path for the order of bosses to face based on what I thought the weaknesses of each would be by their names), plus ample use of save states helped keep things moving. That said, I wasn't a big fan of the face four bosses in row that occurs late in Mega Man II after you beat the initial 4 bosses and that trend seems to get continued in these other games.
