Played through on the "difficult" setting.
If you're interested in my full write-up/review on Mega Man 2, be sure to check out www.nintendocom...
Mega Man 2 is (obviously) the second game in Capcom's famed series, and an improvement on the original in every conceivable way. Mega Man 2 was the first game to feature a full eight robot masters for the first stage, and it expanded upon Mega Man's array of powerups for some interesting puzzle elements. I really liked those bits toward the end the end of the game - even if foolishly wasting a weapon would completely screw you in certain places. How I raged at that boss with the destructable walls as a kid!
While not quite as refined as the third game, Mega Man 2 is one of the best platformers released for the NES. It absolutely crushed it with amazing graphics, sound, and well-tuned gameplay... even if it is quite a bit easier than the first game.
If you haven't played it yet, what are you waiting for?
If you have, go play it again. No matter how recently you have gone through it, it always deserves another game. Even if you risk breaking your controllers at those disappearing block sections.

Yo on 32:42 how TF do u throw those damn number 1 platforms cause for some freakin reason it won't throw more than 2 it is highly aggravating 😡🤯, if u can tell me some trick or whatever please lmk thank you..
You should try Mega Man 2 in mixed reality 😀👍
This version is better because you start with Air Man
I had never played the first Mega Man back in the day, but as soon as I saw this game in Nintendo Power, I knew I had to have it. Bought it with my birthday money when it came out in the summer of 89. I have fond memories of my best friend and the time and I having a sleepover and staying up to beat it. I also remember we thought Mega Man had died at the end, given how he just kind of fades away, leaving only his helmet, and how the music playing while he was walking sounded kind of sad. Lots of memories tied to this one.
yusakug TL;DR sorry
yusakug same here bud. So many memories
EST Productions read the whole thing you chump it doesn’t take that long
Since you thought he died at the end of Mega Man 2, how did you and your friend feel when Mega Man 3 came out? lol!
I bought a used Megaman CD at a flea market it has all the Megaman games from the old Nintendo. There's 10 different Megaman games on it. Gave $5 for it. Money well spent! II and III are my favorites. I have Megaman I to Megaman X on that CD.
This soundtrack is legendary, it’s far and away the best of the whole NES saga. The “guitar”-solo in Air Man’s stage might be the best part of any song in any Mega Man game.
And the entire first Wiley theme just stands on its own as an absolute banger. It doesn't matter what you're doing -- if that tune is playing, you're on a legendary mission. I could be folding laundry or shaving and I'd be like "let's fucking GOOOOOOOOOO"
For me, the best ost of all the series is from the Megaman 3
I got into the Mega Man series later in life for reason's I won't get into. But yes, the music is shockingly good and way before its time for NES
@@aliciasmo Mega Man 3’s soundtrack is good but i don’t know, there’s a couple things about it that keep it below MM2 for me. The instrumentation sounds like the music has a stuffy nose (I can’t describe it but the instruments sound a little hollow and compressed moreso than usual) and often times it’s sliiiiightly off beat. Don’t get me wrong, the compositions are quite good, but MM2’s ost is just so snappy and precise that i gotta give it up for that game
I dunno....flash man has some bangin music too...
1:04 Airman.
4:51 Crashman.
8:50 Flashman.
12:03 Quickman.
15:30 Metalman.
19:26 Bubbleman.
23:27 Heatman.
27:02 Woodman.
30:43 Mecha Dragon.
34:03 Picopico-kun.
37:07 Guts-Dozer.
39:30 Boobeam Trap.
44:08 Wily Machine No.2.
48:44 Alien Holograph.
As amazing as the first Mega Man was, Mega Man 2 blew everyone away with just how much of an improvement it was over the original.
Can you really call yourself an NES fan if you haven't played this classic?
All of the ones originally from 2013 were only 240p.
NintendoComplete I’ve played it- both on the 3DS and as part of the _Mega Man Legacy Collection_ on the Switch! 😊
Let's just say... It cost me a life to beat Air Man on the Japanese version.
my first megaman game
I played MegaMan 2, so I can call myself a classic NES gamer
This game completely changed my youth!! I was addicted to this game and the music is fantastic!
Megan man 2 music best of all time 10/10 for me live this game
Absolutely. Wood Man's stage and the first Wiley stage...incredible music.
Best for NES.
Definitely not the best music, but in the top 10 definitely
Should’ve won a Grammy award.
Journey to silius is better.
Wow. The nostalgia! Pure magic back then. Remember getting this for Christmas the year it was released, and I just couldn't believe it! Total happiness! What a fantastic, amazing game. One of the best ever made for NES. Spent countless hours with it. And got pretty good I think ;-)
And the music! Just sticks with you even to this day, doesn't it? Epic. Such a well made game. Thanks for posting this!
Yes sir
This game rocked my youth! Will always be my #1 even above Mario and Zelda which are also awesome. The gameplay of this, music, level selection, vibrant colors and cool bosses made it very addicting! I was so obsessed back in the day that I would make collages of Mega Man and design my own characters…
Two-shotting Metal Man with his own blade always cracks me up.
He got a taste of her own medicine, classic
not better than one shooting him on normal
I swear everything you said in your description is accurate as hell. This one is my favorite in the series but I don't blame anyone for liking part 3 more. When I was a kid, I was blown away by these graphics. I felt like I was playing a cartoon. But you are right, those bosses at wilys castle are unfair. I absolutely hate that wall and even the last guy, though fairly easy, can get you raged if you don't have the bubble. The music is some of the best the nes has to offer. Wilys castle alone is proof of that.
Yeah, these graphics were unbelievable when it was new. Some of those end bosses, like the dragon and the Guts Man tank, have so much personality to them, let alone how they dwarf the bosses in many 16-bit games! Capcom became awesome on NES after they started developing their own games.
I can complete this game straight from memory. One of the few games I'm still able to do so (once upon a time, I could beat Mike Tyson no problem. Not anymore). Still has the best music from the entire series, too.
The art style in this game so good it could pass for a 16-bit game. Amazing!
I do so love Mega Man 2, and the soundtrack is nothing short of legendary. What can I say that those 80s kids who praised this to Hell and back haven't? Nintendo Power and all those old dudes say that Mega Man 2 is their favorite in the series, as it introduced all the mainstay elements like 8 instead of 6 Robot Masters and the Wily Castle map screens and the spiritual predecessor to Rush, the "Items". Who doesn't dig MM2? It's great. A little on the easy side, but awesome to play, even today.
One of my favorite games as a kid. Never got past the dragon. Just watching it now brought up memories of Nintendo frustration.
The music in this game is so nostalgic to me 🤣
it's completely normal to me young fry. been listening to it most of my life.
This game, Mega Man 2, was on a VHS tape with tips and tricks on getting a high score. It was some of those Kodak VHS video tapes. It had Wizards & Warriors, Mega Man 2, Platoon, Top Gun & Metal Gear. It was called How to Score More Points On Nintendo Games #1 in 1989.
Very classy to let all the credits play out! This closing song is my jam, Son!
Some NES games have SO much better graphics than others where the artists had a specific style and understood how to make beautiful sprites and pixel art. Megaman is one of those that stands out so far ahead of the rest.
This game is geniously designed, and the ost is incredibly memorable. Not an nes fan till you've played every second of this game.
TRUTH!!
This game is still my favorite of the series. I think a lot of it is nostalgia, but every time I play it also just feels so good, and the music is perfect. I actually got it first, because the original was such a limited release in the States. But when they re-released Megaman I went out and got it. I was pretty disappointed at first, since it had two less robot masters and not even a picture of a Wily Castle. But I grew to appreciate the magnet beam and the abilities of the weapons and the difficulty. Never did like that "sliding" bug when trying to stop after picking up a power-up capsule, though.
Its insane how powerful the Metal Blade is
Loved playing this game as a kid. Definitely filled up a Saturday afternoon 😃👍🏻 great soundtrack too!
Me too😁
This was the VERY first game I've played in my life here on Terra Firma! I was 2 years old when I remembered my brother playing this in my grandma's basement, and it captivated me with unforgettable action and adventure!
Laughable and meme-worthy by today's standards, this game is a testament to an entire generation of gamers who learned how to be the best players in the world by helping Mega Man put Dr. Wily in his place (with a near endless supply of Metal Blades...).
I owe my gaming existence to Mega Man, Metroid, and Zelda, and have never looked back!
30:46 for the NES anthem.
4:58 for the Cory in the House anthem.
Song: Stage 9: Dr. Wiley (First Version)
@@isaacibarra2246 9:36 for the phrase "but if I stay here with you" from the Will of One - Protomen.
23:34 for the midnight ravers.
The metal-man blade is the most over-powered weapon in the game, I always went there first or second after air man. You can pretty much waste every other stage and boss with him except for quick and crash man. Try bubble man against heat man next time. Much easier.
Yea it brings back memories
Its the most versatile weapon in the entire series. No other weapon in any other Mega Man game was ever as useful.
And metal man biggest weakness was his own weapon.
He did use Bubble against Heat Man...
@@Xerock maybe thunder beam was a bit better.
Shout out to the team of creators for which we would not be able to appreciate this classic...had it not been for them
As a kid I had Mega Man 2 for game boy, which had some of the enemies from this game and some of the ones from Mega Man 3. It was one of my favorite game boy games growing up.
The music, as well as all the OC ReMixes, are awesome
I wore this game out as a kid in the 90s, awesome music too.
Oh Mega Man 2. So perfect. So right. So magical. It really does deserve all the praise it gets. It did so much for gaming. It came out in 1989 in the US and was so innovative. Later entries would only slightly improve on the formula, but lack the magic of Mega Man 2.
Is that magic Nostalgia? Probably not but idk I see this game as a tier it’s still solid don’t get me wrong but I think 4 and 7 are better games
@@centerreddot6852 If MM2 isn't the best, then why do I keep going back to play it so much?
@@mopbrothers Cause that’s the one you like the most
@@centerreddot6852 Exactly, that doesn't automatically make 2 the best one
@@zachatck64 It does though, in their opinion. These games aren't objectively better than one another. Only subjectively
Doing the Metal Man stage first made this game too easy, but still one of the best NES games.
The music played after Mega Man beats the bosses was sampled from The Barkay's hit song, Holy Ghost.
I have to admit that when I beat this game back in the day, I didn't really understand all the advantages that these various weapons had. I mean I figured out some of them, but mostly I was using the P shooter and figuring out how to jump at the right time to out-perform these bosses.
This game is turning 30 years old this December.
Ouch.
It's 33 years old now,Game On!!🎮📺🕹️
Gotta love that this is also on the NES Classic!!!
Among the best Title Screen BGMs on the NES... :)
Great now that Crash Man song will be stuck in my head for the next 6 days
I just recently got this game again to show my kids, and after all these years, I can't believe I remembered the code for get directly to Wily's castle. Also, doesn't bubbles work better vs heatman?
He preferred to save the bubbles to use against the final boss, its the only weapon able to defeat him
i remember the password as a palmtree with dots at the top left and bottom right, it's easiler like that
Here are my overviews of the master weapons and items from Mega Man 2:
P Shooter - Standard weapon. Infinite Bullets (obviously).
Air Shooter (A) - This weapon can be good against airborne enemies, Crash Man, the fire enemies in Quick Man's stage and those Sniper Walkers in Flash Man's stage...but it also consumes 2 bars of ammo.....which means you can use Air Shooter a total of 14 times before it runs out of ammo.
Crash Bomber (C) - This CAN be a nice weapon (since it blows walls out) and can be a pretty good choice to use against Quick Man, Flash Man and the Sniper Walkers. However, it's ammo consumption is pretty high (4 bars per use), which means you can use it a total of 7 times before it runs out.
Time Stopper (F) - This can be useful in freezing enemies and traps (to bypass them). However, you can't switch weapons while Time Stopper is in use.
Quick Boomerang (Q) - This is actually a pretty good weapon to use on those ground "springer" enemies that roam in some stages (and most of the enemies in the game). Also, it's ammo consumption is 1/8th of an weapon energy bar per use (making it a tie with this Boomerang and Screw Crusher for the lowest weapon energy bar ammo consumption in the entire Mega Man (Classic) Series). That's 224 uses of Quick Boomerang, mind you! (28 times 8 is 224). Quick Boomerang can also auto-fire and you can fire 4 Quick Boomerangs maxmium).
Metal Blade (M) - If there's one thing that the Mega Man (Classic) Series has taught me, it's that any weapon that starts with "blade" is OP beyond belief. Metal Blade is no exception. This weapon is probably the most OP weapon in the entire Mega Man (Classic) Series, bar none (there are multiple reasons for that). 1: You can fire in 8 directions - that's right, I said EIGHT directions. 2: It's ammo consumption is ridiculously low (it takes off 1/4th of an weapon energy bar per use, meaning you have 112 uses before you can run out. (Metal Blade is tied with Needle Cannon for the third lowest weapon energy ammo consumption in the entire Mega Man (Classic) Series). 3: It's decently powerful, it affects 4 of the bosses in the game and it affects all but 3 of the regular enemies in the game. 4: Due to a glitch, you can never run out if you use Metal Blade: use Metal Blade 3 times, pause and you should see the weapon energy bar not go down at all - it's called the "Infinite Weapon Ammo Glitch" for that reason. (I believe Shadow Blade and Needle Cannon has the "Infinite Weapon Ammo Glitch" too, although I believe you have to do the "Infinite Weapon Ammo Glitch" in Mega Man 3 slightly different from the one in Mega Man 2).
You forgot about the Bubble Lead and Atomic Fire.
one of the best games in history
One of the best Mega Man games of all time!!
The best!!!
The stress flashbacks of this sound @ 24:21. I hate those disappearing platforms
Dude!!! I hated those so bad lol. Stress isn’t even the word
The very first Mega Man game I ever played back in 1991 and I loved the series ever since.
I remember when I grabbed the first Mega Man at a flea market none of my friends had it or knew what it was. We got hooked on completing it and I was the first one to do so eventually. I got older and then had a Sega then PS2 and Xbox I never knew how many more Mega Man games were made until 20 years later. I'm now playing 4 for the first time
That security system fight was super tight. I always have to go through like 3 tanks trying to figure out the best way to do it.

This MegaMan series is just so much fun and cool! I've played all parts til the pc versions
Many gamers never realized that the 'Normal' mode was added for the US release, and that the 'Difficult' mode was the default difficulty in the original Japan version.
next time they can do better with difficult and have the enemies/bosses inflict more damage as well.
50:42 these images and this music, it's beautiful
Surprising really how big some of the sprites near the end of the game were for something of this era.
The very first MegaMan game I ever played.
30:47 Now THIS is what I call a memorable NES song!
Damn, Megaman 2 was so good, am I right?
As a kid when I played these games I always thought they were so incredibly difficult...
I also didn't know you could use different powers. I was a dumb but very skilled player having beat them without knowing about the damn transformations
Really xD?
Haha same dude,. Never made it to Dr wily tho 😁
I remember doing Crashman’s stage first. So difficult to beat with the standard gun!
Suuuure you were…
one of the best games on NES for sure
The very first Mega Man game I ever played nearly 40 years ago. Crash Man was my sister's favorite stage.
Bubble Man
Air Man
Quick Man
Heat Man
Wood Man
Metal Man
Flash Man
Crash Man
Dr.Wily
The end broke me!! I’m 43!!
Megan man 2 music best of all time all mega man's soundtracks nothing compared this game mega man 2 should win award for everything music gameplay storyline adventure action game beginning to end perfect game challenging as well love it
The game that introduced me to the Blue Bomber, and made me the passionate fan I am today.
This game has some of the best graphics I've ever seen
Um, you must be extremely nostalgia blinded. There are video games with much better graphics than this.
@@Jammer439y8 Graphics aren't everything, pal
@@Jammer439y8 he said I’ve ever seen not we’ve ever seen
@@Jammer439y8 he might not have seen a better looking game than this.
Megaman 2 was always my favorite Megaman game because the way it is, and it had a lot of memories, I had Megaman 1 and when I saw Megaman 2 I knew I had to have it it is very special to me and have beaten it like a thousand times, the desructive walls were always the worst one I played and overall it is a very special game to me.
30:47 The best song in the whole mega man series!
Nice play 😃 I’m almost there maybe this week I’ll pass the game 👾😩
Meilleur jeux nes,super souvenir...entre les boss et les musiques excellentes,qui en 2025?
The best NES Mega Man. So fun.
That would go to 4 in my opinion. 2 has some awful design choices (mainly in the Wily stages) and the game is just too easy overall
@@amso7169 still fun though
@@Jackattack359
Ye i agree, i can at least have a fun time in most parts
@@Jackattack359 Yup.
I now think Mega Man 2 was a whole generations gateway drug into a lifetime of EDM
My very first issue of Nintendo Power was the MegaMan 2 cover. Had to get the game asap!
you're good megaman 2 has an amazing soundtrack
Arguably the greatest soundtrack of the 2D gaming era. Megaman 3 soundtrack was damn close, and Megaman 1 and 4 also had great tunes, but 2 has that extra level of compositional mastery that is untouched.
Hardest Wiley Levels too, but the easiest robot fights.
You combine the music of 2, the UI and level design of 3, the gameplay of 4 and boss design from each, you’d have the perfect Megaman game.
I played this game on the NES at the Fitness Center in 2002.
This is definitely the best MegaMan.
Played this growing up best Megaman ever
I grew up with mega man 3. I must of luck out on this game.
*must have* , not "must of" .
This is a MUST have collector Item...
Yes you missed a great game my favorite of all time mega man 2
30:46 The song you all love!
Dude you are right.!!! Bless you my friend.!
All these years later, it’s still shocking how pathetically easy the robot masters are.
That intro music. Classic
The only one of the first 6 on the nes I own. Such a fun game.
Alidar Jarok Yeah, it really is. I still need to get a proper full copy of this one. I have 1, 3, 4 and 6 with their boxes and manuals though :)
Very nice. I just have the cart for 2. I am happy with that. lol
Alidar Jarok No doubt :) You ought to grab yourself a copy of 3 if you like this one. It plays a lot like 2 but it made some big improvements. It's definitely my favorite of the 6.
I remember in the "Woodman" level we called those bats butt sniffers lol
So. Much. Nostalgia.
Bubble man stage has the best music
Yes! The *GOOD* Mega Man 2!
yeah i agree this is the best version of mega man 2
You mean the "overhyped" Mega Man 2.
@@fewerspeaser2004 No, I meant the "Good" version. The Game Boy version of this game is horrible.
@@Dorian_Scott It’s alright tbh, the sound definitely isn’t good that’s guaranteed.
@@fewerspeaser2004 no, he means the good Mega Man 2
Mega Man 2 is my favorite game of the franchise, but I always start off with Metal Man.
One of the best of all-time. Still not as good as me playing though.
Lol
Gee dude, you have some balls. :P
Clearing Heatman's stage's platform section without Item 2!
I could never do that, whenever I was attempting to make a video about this game. :p
44:11
When I was 10, the revelation that you had to defeat all of Wiley’s robots a second time blew my mind all the way apart 😆 LOVED this game.
My favorite Mega Man by Far
I, myself, would give this game a 10/10 and the last boss with Dr. Wily is awesome!
You must change the video title to: " MEGAMAN 2 RIGHT ROBOT MASTER ORDER ", THANK GOD, I FOUND YOUR VIDEO ! That game only has the TRUE ORDER playing in the DIFFICULT mode, the right Order is :
AIRMAN > CRASHMAN > FLASHMAN > QUICKMAN > METALMAN > BUBBLEMAN > HEATMAN > WOODMAN
That is a correct order, people shoot CRASH BOOMBER direct into Flash Man, but is wrong ! You need shoot the Crash Bomber on the steeps ( like this 10:43 ) and make FLASH MAN be hit buy the explosions, the same shit on QUICKMAN ( TIMER STOPPER and CRASH BOMBER 14:44 )
You doing a Mega Man marathon? Nice >:]
Seriously though, you aren't a Mega Man fan until you've played the first 3.
50:29 Mega man dosen't even want to look at Dr. Wily, Damn XD
God this brings back memories!
To this day i'm surprised nobody ever modded flash man to give him a creeper trenchcoat
I wonder how many people played this game and at the end beiefly thought "My gosh, Wiley's an alien?!"
Would have been an interesting plot twist.
Truthfully, imo I think the game is perfect. Like, literally perfect. I think this is the only videogame I have ever played where I have 0 negative thoughts on it
I always go with Metal Man first, then Bubble, Flash, Wood, Air, Crash, Heat, and do Quick last.
Best Game Ever ❤
Overall this is still my favourite Mega Man game, but I think Mega Man 3 has the better soundtrack.
I remember this one real good.
43:33 is there any other way to beat this than that damage boost pixel perfect jump?
Oh, Mega Man 2.....how I loved it SO much as a kid.....but now MY favorite Mega Man (Classic) game is Mega Man 4......(yeah, I know Mega Man 4 gets some hate for NO reason/very stupid reasons).......but yeah, I still love Mega Man 2 as well....even if the Metal Blade IS RIDICULOUSLY BROKEN.
No, anybody shouldn't consider themselves an NES fan without playing Mega Man, Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3, Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 (to a reasonable extent), Mega Man 6, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) and Super Mario Bros 3 at least once (and more, but I would be all day if I tried to list the classics here).
Fun piece of trivia: I actually played and OWNED Mega Man 2 as the first Mega Man in the Mega Man (Classic) Series - when I was around 9 or so.
Another piece of trivia: This is going to sound funny, but I thought there was SIX or so separate Mega Mans in the Mega Man (Classic) NES Series (you know, one Mega Man for each game), but once I was in my late teens/early twenties, I figured that "oh, wait, there's ONLY one Mega Man in the Mega Man (Classic) NES Series"! (Blame my 9 year old mind for that). Had I played every Mega Man (Classic) game as a 9 year old, I would've thought that there was TWENTY or so Mega Mans in the entire Mega Man (Classic) Series.
This is definitely my favorite NES Mega Man game. I’ve never beaten Dr. Wily though...
Wawe
Just use Bubble Lead on the alien
@@zachatck64 Thanks! I finally beat him!
