That cart is just a packaged rom with the 7 games and a Gameboy Color emulator called Gomba. It's pretty easy to make your own rom compilations with the emulator and have it run on a GBA or a DS. I still have my GBA flash cart with multiple roms packaged with Goomba. So these games aren't ports recreated for the GBA, they are just emulated.
With the exception of this particular cartridge not saving, I've been enjoying them so far. The next one I have my eye on is a Gameboy Advance reproduction of the Mega Man Zero collection. I think it will be interesting to see how it squares up to the official DS and Legacy Editions.
Shame this was never released. I just hope they would have included a different palette to make them look closer to the NES games as well as the Mania palette
Well given the current success of both Mega Man Legacy Collections, the recent Mega Man 11, the Mega Man X Legacy Collections, and the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, it wouldn't be surprising if Capcom would follow up with a "Mega Man World" Legacy Collection.
I remember pre-ordering this and then being xtremely bummed when the video game store called me telling me that the game was canceled and I would be getting a refund. I have I-IV (CIB in near new condition) and these games are HARD. Kicking myself for not picking up V back in the day, prices are crazy now. I just bought a GBA SP and a repo MM V. I wish Capcom would develop this collection.
I still have hope capcom will re-release BN and the other series remaining, considering they bothered to re-release ZX which was a series that suffered a lot from poor sales, so they clearly do care for the minority. I really think Covid just has gotten in the way of things, the last LC was developed before Covid anyways. That being said though, I find it odd that they just can’t at LEAST give confirmation “we are working of the battle network legacy collection” since it’s not like it’s a new game, so I get people being skeptical aside from them still having a long history of broken promises. (And well, a mobile game got scrapped a few months back and last month we got confirmation a third ZX game was planned but scrapped, so I can’t blame people for giving up hope on series that aren’t classic getting anything ever)
Probably a year late or something, but I appreciate the credits of my "failed" gameboy fan made remake that went unfinished for years (whether I blame laziness, or lost in motivation). I honestly wished Capcom did not lose their source codes for the GB games (from what I heard), and had given us that MegaMan Mania/Collection for the GBA. Considering the circumstances, it is now that some other fans have decided to put in the work for us, and colorized a few GB Mega Man games because we never got an official release of these colored GB games from Capcom themselves. Imagine what a World we would live in if Capcom actually released these colorized games at the time.
It may be my ignorance on the subject, but if fans can make romhacks like MegaMan V DX and colorize the games, then I don't think Capcom even NEEDS the Source Code for that. Couldn't they just modify roms?
problem is... now that the fans has made 3 megaman games recolored for gbc... now that romhacking is "dead" they could not complete the whole collection in colors (as megaman 4 remains undone and the main page does not allow uploads anymore)
Interesting. I had no idea that this existed. (I heard about the Battle Network cart, but not this) On the other hand, I have both GBC Megaman X games, the bizarre Game Gear Megaman, and all five GB Rockman World games on my New Nintendo 2DS XL...the GG & GB games all have a ROM hack applied that changes them into Roll-chan Mini World and Roll-chan World 1-5. Annoyingly, Roll-chan World 5 *DOESN'T* have the Super Gameboy enhancements, so it's only in black and white. 😒😒😒 I wonder if these compilation carts have the compilation ROMs as a single package online?
That is super bootleggy... Also Rockman Online wasn't on Capcom. Capcom merely gave the OK, they didn't get involved themselves. Also someone has the actual Prototypes and Release Candidate of Mega Man Mania, they took screenshots even using VBA at that... But who has it and why they never put it anywhere online? Who knows...
I would love to have this collection for Switch.
You and me both. I think if we get ANYTHING, they'll just add a Gameboy Switch Online feature, and just release them individually, like the 3DS eShop.
@@FlashingBladesProductions Screw that! I want it physical Capcom, please and thank you. But yeah, your probably right.
Wish granted
Thanks for making this review! Exactly what I was looking for

2:14, 2:18, 2:21 - Excellent
Damn I really wish I had a Game Boy. It'd be cool to play these fan cartridges.

I agree
hello i found the game on esty and bought it but when i was done i found the megaman leagacy collection for gba it might be a cool idea
problem is...
now that the fans has made 3 megaman games recolored for gbc... now that romhacking is "dead" they could not complete the whole collection in colors (as megaman 4 remains undone and the main page does not allow uploads anymore)

I wonder if these compilation carts have the compilation ROMs as a single package online?
¿Could you try and dump the ROM of that Repro cart?
I don't know how to do that.
It's just a flash cart with the Goomba Color emulator on it. You can easily download it and make your own compilation.
What is that footage with Plantman.EXE from?
A fan mod that puts Rockman EXE 4.5 back into classic BN battle style, plus English translation patch.
@@FlashingBladesProductions Thanks I'll check it out.
@@FlashingBladesProductions do you know the name for it?
I believe it's something akin to "Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Battle Network Style patch". It's on the Rockman EXE Zone forums.
@@FlashingBladesProductions thanks man
hey mate im trying to find this thing on ebay can you help
Looks like your best bet is "RetroGamersUS". A quick Google search for this should have the results for you.
At least the romhackers are trying to colorize the games. World 5 and 1 are done, 3 is in development.
That is super bootleggy...
Also Rockman Online wasn't on Capcom. Capcom merely gave the OK, they didn't get involved themselves.
