This f-ing game, the bane of my childhood. When I saw Mike beat the NES Mega Man games, I couldn't belive how easy they are. To see the struggle of beating this game somehow redeemed my 8 year old self, who barely managed to reach Ice Man 2 or 3 times.
Regarding that you cannot beat the final boss with just the plasma weapon...although I have played and beaten it several times, I cannot remember at the moment, but I think Mega Man 2 on NES also had the final boss that you only could beat with Bubble Lead (Wily as an alien), so it's not exclusive to this game. Really shows that the Game Boy had quite a good selection of games too.
21:40 It's not that hard. Go up to the scissor and fall back on the conveyor belt as the scissor charges at you, then get into position so it circles around you and just jog in place and jump as it passes underneath you. From here, take out the lower of the spike balls with the mega buster. Now, when the scissor allows you to, walk up to the other spike ball, letting it fall to the ground. As it does, quickly freeze it with the ice slasher, fall back to within the circle of the scissor and finish the spike ball off with the mega buster.
+robb cavicchi It does make sense if you tweak it a bit. In real life you have PDW's. Literally means Personal Defence Weapon. So having a plasma ball gun called "Personal Weapon" is not that far off what gun manufacturers call real weapons sometimes :p
***** Look at the boxart of the original game. Mega Man has a pistol. That means at some point he must have defeated a robot master with an arm cannon and kept using it from that point.
Thank you so much Mike! I have this game as well and it was fun playing it side by side with you! I hope in the future you would do the whole mega man gameboy collection :D Hope to catch you live next time!
Supposedly I have a good/photographic memory. If true it must be in part from playing so much Mega Man growing up. It's as gratifying as it is maddening! Thanks for the videos.
I read a Nintendo Power article about this game that suggested you should start with Cutman. I find that hard to believe, because elecbeam and icebeam are very helpful for the stage and the flamethrower is good against the boss.
The way the Carry works is that it'll appear under you if you use it in mid-air, so you can jump out towards the location, use Carry to break your fall, and then jump again. It's not Item 1.
The shield guys should be exploitable by shooting at point blank range because mega man extends his hand when he shoots and his hand doesn't count as a hit box so his it will overlap the shields enabling you to shoot through directly. Kinda thought every mega man fan knew this little trick. Wish you knew this when you played, because you just struggled so much against them when they were basically the easiest enemy in the game.
Awesome stream :) Definitely one of the hardest (if not the hardest) Mega Man games out there. MM 2-3-4 are slightly easier, MM 5 being the easiest imo. Hope you do a live stream (or review) on Mega Man V for the GB sometime, since that game has a unique robot master line up! Cheers
P stands for Pervert! no but seriously, I think the biggest problem with this game is that the screen is so small, it makes all the rooms smaller and the sprites of everyone look much bigger, you almost have no space to avoid some of the enemies, or even the attacks of some bosses.
Mike -- Really enjoying these, and pretty much everything you (and James) do. These keep the gaming spirit alive in me! Anyway, I know you're a big Zelda fan. How do you feel about Twilight Princess? And what are the chances of live streaming that some day? It's one of my faves.
+Bryan Radley read more comments, Mike answers from time to time. You have to understand how busy these guys are tho. Not only are they producing new video content for the regular channel, but also live streaming? Responding to comments will and should fall by the wayside. Not responding tells me they are hard at work on other projects. We're lucky that live streams even get edited and uploaded. And again, they do respond from time to time if you look around more.
is it me or the end got edited & the best part was remove : the rage almost quit super sayan mike did just befor finding out that he does not have enought energie to finish the boss
You could do Skate or Die - Bad 'n Rad on GameBoy. That's a great platformer by Konami which is really particular. ...as you seem to enjoy trial and error and memorization. :)
+Joshua Cantrell Megaman V for GB IS and original game in the sense that bosses are not "something man", megaman shoots the arm and tangle replaces rush...

If it makes you feel any better, the sequel was so ridiculously easy and crude I have a hard time believing Capcom actually put it out rather than hired an independent developer. The third one ramped up the difficulty again, though.
good job on beating this game, it has a subtitle, Dr Wily's Revenge as seen on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man:_Dr._Wily%27s_Revenge i owned this and mega man 2 on gameboy game as a kid, and h8d it, as it wasn't faithful 2 other megaman games. Enemy weapon weaknesses did almost no dmg whatsoever, health and lives being very scarce and a very high difficulty. My advice is 2 spam electricity on all bosses and enemies, as most enemies die in 1-2 hits if aimed correctly, and it covers a wide area and bosses take more dmg from it than your regular weapon + you're encouraged 2 spam it as the game is very generous in giving ammo back 4 it.
Hardest game is hard one to answer because hard games have to be differentiated from unfair games. Weeding out games that are broken or poorly designed has to be done and it's also something there will be a lot of disagreement about.
+Cinemassacre Extras Oh damn! lol I really need to pay more attention, I thought this was another live stream. Hell I even saw you doing this same video the other day. Anyway thanks for the countless hours of entertainment, Cinemassacre rules!!!
+Cinemassacre Extras I dont go to youtube gaming. I thought it would show you were live on the regular youtube but i havent seen anything about you being live and im on youtube A LOT.
I Beg my mom for this game when I was a kid she told me I had to get straight A's to get it which I didn't get but she still got the game for me it's cool Mike ur playing it
While still waiting for the rest of Mega Man V NES....how about taking a break from Mega Man Madness and go through another great game for the GB and GBC....LINK'S AWAKENING!!!!!
honestly mega an r great games but this one kinda stinks but I still watched this video because mike is one of the best out there without a dought keep going #mikeisthebest
This f-ing game, the bane of my childhood. When I saw Mike beat the NES Mega Man games, I couldn't belive how easy they are. To see the struggle of beating this game somehow redeemed my 8 year old self, who barely managed to reach Ice Man 2 or 3 times.
Fast forward to 37:50 if you want to see the beginning of that actual second part.
Regarding that you cannot beat the final boss with just the plasma weapon...although I have played and beaten it several times, I cannot remember at the moment, but I think Mega Man 2 on NES also had the final boss that you only could beat with Bubble Lead (Wily as an alien), so it's not exclusive to this game.
Really shows that the Game Boy had quite a good selection of games too.
I just realized that some parts of the Wily stages in this game are in the special stages in Mega Man 9 & 10.
And the bosses too
21:40
It's not that hard.
Go up to the scissor and fall back on the conveyor belt as the scissor charges at you, then get into position so it circles around you and just jog in place and jump as it passes underneath you.
From here, take out the lower of the spike balls with the mega buster.
Now, when the scissor allows you to, walk up to the other spike ball, letting it fall to the ground. As it does, quickly freeze it with the ice slasher, fall back to within the circle of the scissor and finish the spike ball off with the mega buster.
The P stands for potato. You can clearly see Mega Man shoot a potato.
My parents bought me this game as a child and I found it to be REALLY hard. Never beat it. Congrats!
Well done Mike! You should do this again when you are healthy and alert
Bought this the other day! wish i had it as a kid
+Cinemassacre Extras You should play the rest of them, they're all different from the ones on the nes
+jamaicob well.. now you ain`t a kid anymore, but you still has got the game :P look at it that way :D
TRUST ME.... YOU DON'T WISH you had it as a kid. It is a NIGHTMARE
P stands for Primary, as in primary weapon. Why would you think it stands for person? The person weapon lol. Just doesn't make much sense.
+robb cavicchi It does make sense if you tweak it a bit. In real life you have PDW's. Literally means Personal Defence Weapon. So having a plasma ball gun called "Personal Weapon" is not that far off what gun manufacturers call real weapons sometimes :p
+robb cavicchi it stands for Pea shooter
+Back Attack!!! Isn't it for Plasma gun.
P just stands for Player. It was the standard for games back then.
Photon cannon
Haha loved the reaction when he beat the game :)
To me, the P stands for *Primary*, as that's the only one that makes sense.
+I AM IRONCLAW!
Because you get it from the robot master Primary Man.
+Schwarzer Ritter
With that reasoning, the weapon would be called "Mega Man", as he already had it.
*****
Look at the boxart of the original game. Mega Man has a pistol. That means at some point he must have defeated a robot master with an arm cannon and kept using it from that point.
Schwarzer Ritter
With that logic he might as well at some point have defeated a helmet robot master because he has a helmet now.
+I AM IRONCLAW! Huh. I always thought it stood for "Plasma" as in "Plasma cannon"
Congrats for beating this heavy game!
Empire strikes back on gameboy is super tough thats been a thorn and n my side for years
The Wily stage music was actually redone in Mega Man 10 as one of the special stage songs called 'Heart of Enker'
I enjoy listening to these videos as I draw! I hope to catch a livestream sometime. I am late to the party.
Wow, you have extraordinary streamer-viewer interaction. Keep up the good work man.
My favorite thing about Mega Man is the music.
how come part of the stream is missing?? :(
Thank you so much Mike! I have this game as well and it was fun playing it side by side with you! I hope in the future you would do the whole mega man gameboy collection :D Hope to catch you live next time!
Supposedly I have a good/photographic memory. If true it must be in part from playing so much Mega Man growing up. It's as gratifying as it is maddening!
Thanks for the videos.
Lol, I watched this whole thing. You wining at the end was so satisfying to watch! Congrats on a well deserved win!
any way to fix the sync of your cam and whats happening ingame? i mean i see something happening, and a few sec later you react to it
I read a Nintendo Power article about this game that suggested you should start with Cutman.
I find that hard to believe, because elecbeam and icebeam are very helpful for the stage and the flamethrower is good against the boss.
Damn the struggle was real on this one. Glad you beat it.
I remeber Megaman 2 for the gameboy. Love the sound on that one. Very catchy original tunes.
One of my original Gameboy purchases! And Wawa coffee!
That music in the beginning stage!Hits me in the feeeeels
The way the Carry works is that it'll appear under you if you use it in mid-air, so you can jump out towards the location, use Carry to break your fall, and then jump again. It's not Item 1.
ROCK ON MIKE!!! U THE MANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:05:49
*SURPRISE!*
Hey Mike have you played Dr. Wily's revenge on GB?
Never mind this is Dr wily's revenge
Thanks for uploading this Mike. I had to get to bed last night and I missed you beating it by like 20 mins. lol Congrats on beating it.
Mike questions what the "P" is for the power and I've always thought it stood for "Primary" or "Plain"
This was a good choice of upload btw. This game is hard and the fact that you beat this hard game is amazing. Stay awesome Mike.
1:02:00
They're only vulnerable when they're in mid-air
In Captain N, Mega Man referred to it as a "Plasma Powershot". Therefore, it is "Plasma". I seem to recall it was called that in other old cartoons.
I don't like how Mega Man's projectiles move at a fraction of the speed of the A.I.'s...
Fix your game cube! Don't trash it.
40:29 Wait, you were in the next stage? Where did that footage go? Aww.
The *P* in Megaman stands for *Pegular* because the letter "R" is missing a Peg.
Just kidding - it stands for *PLAYER!*
Great work Mike, your persistence pays off again!
This game is unrelenting and just hard. I FINALLY beat it. Fuck this mega man game so much lol.
Mike should do mega man 10 on live stream.
Axiom Verge on steam!! fkn awesome game!! Maybe it would be something you can do either, james n mike mondays, talk about or something (:
EN - was Enker the last robot after Quickman. Had to make use of him like Top Man from MM3.
You have to use the platform weapon for the second area of blocks in the Willy level
Saw this last night, had to replay my Megaman V on GB
Thank you for uploading this here. Any plans on playing Zelda on NES?
Edit: okay, you answered the question in this video. Cool.
"sign the radio ad" lolololololol

+Bryan Radley wow you're wack dawg grow up
Git GUD!, Mike Matei.... 49:42
Mike, love the content, keep er up my man!!
Impressive run Mike! Love these videos, keep 'em coming
Watching the recording of this live-stream. I hear an audio glitch that I can't quite figure out. Oh holy fuck, blow your nose. Snivel.
I wonder if the radio guy is watching this right now. He sounds interesting.
The Lifebar thing? yeah, you only get about half as much health than in NES games, thus everything hits harder than it seems.
is it me or the end got edited & the best part was remove : the rage almost quit super sayan mike did just befor finding out that he does not have enought energie to finish the boss
I love the chiptunes on this game.
would you consider doing Guardian Legend????
I think it would be cool to see more ROM hacks played on live stream or J&MM (just the good ones, like Mario 3Mix, or a good Zelda ROM hack).
You could do Skate or Die - Bad 'n Rad on GameBoy.
That's a great platformer by Konami which is really particular.
...as you seem to enjoy trial and error and memorization. :)
now do megaman and bass XD
Why dont you stream on Twitch?
+Dumidor Dumbleplex u ok?
Almighty Loaf Anyway Mike streams on RUclips rather than twitch because he likes the features better.,
He's explained it many times. RUclips got him to where he is, why change horses mid stream to quote a certain republican candidate, lol
+Bryan Radley I suppose that did come off dickish, wasn't my intention. My bad. Still no reason to start dropping N bombs tho, lol.
Check out Mega Man V on Gameboy. It feels like a completely original game.
+Joshua Cantrell
Megaman V for GB IS and original game in the sense that bosses are not "something man", megaman shoots the arm and tangle replaces rush...

Good vid mike. I love the live streams vids
If it makes you feel any better, the sequel was so ridiculously easy and crude I have a hard time believing Capcom actually put it out rather than hired an independent developer. The third one ramped up the difficulty again, though.
You should play Mega man Xtreme 1 and 2 on the Game Boy Color, you might like these as well!
As a kid i had this cartridge from china with mega man 1-5 on it - i beat them all on the toilet.
this one and megaman 3 for nes are the only megaman games ive ever beaten. maybe i played this one many times so i dont think its all the difficult.
God damnit, I always miss the live events because the shitty RUclips Gaming is not available in my country.
You have to use the pellet gun for that guy with the sword
When are you going to play Mega Man 2 on Game Boy? 8o)
You should farm those screw drill things a while for extra lives.
this game was brutal, i reached the 2nd form of dr wily but i never did beat it.
good job on beating this game, it has a subtitle, Dr Wily's Revenge as seen on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man:_Dr._Wily%27s_Revenge i owned this and mega man 2 on gameboy game as a kid, and h8d it, as it wasn't faithful 2 other megaman games.

the angry video game nerd should review some more game boy games

regular RUclips? Why no RUclips Gaming live streaming Mike?
+Cinemassacre Extras Oh damn! lol I really need to pay more attention, I thought this was another live stream. Hell I even saw you doing this same video the other day. Anyway thanks for the countless hours of entertainment, Cinemassacre rules!!!

"I really need to pay more attention"
Yup.
Grats mike for beating this game but if you really want a hard gb game try castlevanilla the adventure worst and hardest gb game I ever owned
Did you think the megaman x-series was good? if so could you stream one of them someday?
I Beg my mom for this game when I was a kid she told me I had to get straight A's to get it which I didn't get but she still got the game for me it's cool Mike ur playing it
Good work. tough game. ;)
While still waiting for the rest of Mega Man V NES....how about taking a break from Mega Man Madness and go through another great game for the GB and GBC....LINK'S AWAKENING!!!!!
12:20 mike you kill them easy by staying on the ladder
He's totally doing coke throughiut the video, right?

Qix on gameboy is great but i could never beat it
mike if you don't ul the video of you playing startrek games i'm going to shit.
i missed almost all the stream and i have a huge hard on for startrek.
honestly mega an r great games but this one kinda stinks but I still watched this video because mike is one of the best out there without a dought keep going
#mikeisthebest
After mentioning youre german I really thought you also have a very german type of face.
Mike play the legend of Zelda: a link awakening please!
I always thought "P" stood for "Player", as in P1 = Player 1.
What if it stands for pistol XD like the cover gave him and capcom just kept the P instead of changing it to megabuster.
p stands for plasma. Megaman canonically shoots plasma from his megabuster.
