Also the introductions you do on these games are out of this world amazing. Super high quality; it’s really fun to see the background info on these games

His light hearted jokes are funny too, like when he killed dr wily with the rain flush "we cant kill dr wily now we have at least 7 sequels to go" lol
i remember when this game was featured in Video and Arcade Top 10. (an old series that was aired in Canada back in the 90's. 4 kids would play a video game in question, but they'd also be playing for a viewer at home. if memory serves me properly, the winner of the "competition" in question, was whoever got the furthest in the game (or got the most points if that wasn't an option) and not only would that kid get a copy of the game, the viewer they were playing for would get one as well.
my name was drawn for this game, and the kid playing on my behalf won, thus i got a free copy as well.
Karma kicked in from having the name “Horatio Lionheart”
I will always say it: I love all of the Mega Man games dearly. They are my favorite games in the history of the NES library, and it's great to see them all covered on this channel. Classic Mega Man can't get enough love!
They are not " All Covered " where is 6 ?
Keeping the twist hidden during the ""I will show you how to do x, get past y and beat the bosses, EVEN the evil z" part of the intro? 10/10
When I fought Dive Man, I usually just look at his mouth as weird as it sounds. When he opens it, it indicates he's going to shoot missiles at you. When it's closed, that's when he's going to charge at you. That's just my trick, but still an easy fight nonetheless. I can't wait til he gets to Mega Man V one day, which ALL the robot masters are pushovers.
Agreed, the series definitely got easier as it went between 1-5
@@robertlevy4613 It did. Mega Man VI tried to spice it up with the different path thing to get the Beat power up. But once you figure out what to do, it too is easy. I think the one that gave me some trouble might have been Mega Man 9 at first.
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate the problem I had with Megaman 8 and 9 is that they are blisteringly hard by way of putting spikes everywhere. One-hit instant kills. 3/4 of the Megaman gameplay never mattered because your whole run could be stopped in an instant just but touching a spike. The earlier games were never like that and it felt cheap.
@@JazGalaxy Don't forget the ever annoying "Jump, Jump" and "Slide, Slide" levels. Those were a damn pain to get through. Even worse when you get to Wily's castle.
I hope he does X next honestly
I love this guy's channel. This is the reason why I'm more invested in video games than ever. Mega Man 4 is probably my favorite one in the NES line.
Just wanted to say, I LOVE your format of having a retrospective and walkthrough all in one video. Makes your videos very satisfying to watch and sets them apart from other content creators.
Great job!
I knew about Yuusuke Murata designed Dustman and another boss in the next game, but this is the first time I saw other original contest design of other bosses, especially Toadman. XD
YESSSSS!! I remember buying this game with my own money as a kid, and I deemed it my "most prized possession" Played the HECK out of it! :)
It was one of my first when I bought a used NES, back when they where still cheap.
Same!!
@@schwarzerritter5724 Mega Man 1 is very nostalgic for me because it is the first video game I ever remember playing. I have a distinct memory of being 3 or 4 years old, popping mega man into the NES and getting my ass kicked in the Cutman stage. For a while I thought it was Mega Man 3, but when I played Mega Man 1 as an adult and jumped into Cutman, I immediately knew. Took me 25 years to beat Mega Man.
@@BradenBest Yeah, the first one is really hard. Took me a while when I got the game as an adult.
I got it for my birthday. Still have it along with all my other carts.
I audibly shouted HELL YEAH at 5:16
What if I told you; this game came out just as I was going into Highschool and was forced to put Video Games on the back burner… Growing up was the worst decision. I should have played with video games instead of with my feelings. Thanks for helping us reverse the clock! The #megaman #rockman franchise always brings me back to the salad days. The charging of the Megabuster changed everything. As a grownup who works with robotics, AI and Neural Networks… I hope to become a Dr. Light….
I would like to discuss AI and Neural networks with you, info cybersecurity but all of this fascinated me and I took Data analytics and farming too
If you make a mega buster make them available for humans too not just robots also dash boots
You mean Dr Wily was behind it the whole time?!!! Oh my gerd!!!! 😳
Actually, in the North American release of MegaMan III on the Game Boy, "Flip-Top" is actually called "Eddie" in the Staff Roll. And that was BEFORE Mega Man 7.
Also, only MM1 and 2 took place in 200X. 3 onward were 20XX.
Some other trivia, Cossack Citadel Part 3 is the ONLY stage of the NES Mega Man games that is Auto-Scrolling. Wily's Castle 3 in Mega Man 1, doesn't count because it's the currant of the water, and the Mecha-Dragon fight of Mega Man 2 doesn't count because it's just the boss fight.
Holy crap, One Punch man created Dust Man?? Learn something new every day!
That fact lew me away, but I guess it's also not shocking someone who made a winning megaman boss would go on to great things. His looked like the one design that was better than what they went with.
4 is probably the best NES Mega Man to introduce someone to the series. Polished and not as hard as the first three. And very beautiful and well made.
Agreed! 4, 5, 6 rule.
2 is a bit easier IMO.
@@jc.1191 Flash Man's stage
@@dansmith1661 An emulator with save states might be a good idea for that stage for practice.
I always felt like this was the hardest Mega Man game, followed by Mega Man, Mega Man 6, Mega Man 5, Mega Man 3 and finally Mega Man 2. 2 is my favorite but probably because I suck at this one. Thanks for this guide, I know this will be much easier for me now and less frustrating.
I always thought this to be one of the easiest..I agree mega man and mega man 2 are quite difficult and probably most challenging of all series
The first Mega Man is unquestionably the most difficult of the classic series, simply because it was the 1st entry of the series and there wasn't an established way of doing things.
However, if you include ALL the games from the classic series, then Mega Man & Bass would be the hardest.
@@meekd53 Funny you mentioned that. I thought Mega Man 2 was the easiest of them all. The first Mega Man is one of the tougher ones for sure.
But after watching many longplays of Mega Man 4 is that it is really tough if you don't use the other weapons and just stick to using the mega buster through most of the game. Mega Man 2 and 3 can be beat much more easily by using the mega buster throughout the stages (except for the bosses of course). I hope I makes sense.
Y'all need to get some Mega Man 9 and 10 in your lives lol. I would put 8 as the hardest for me. If you're just counting the 6 on NES though then I see what everybody is saying.
It also depends on how much you play these games for which becomes the most difficult. If you are coming in cold, on a first play through, I think MM1 is the hardest but if you're already warmed up, it's almost trivial.
@@CeeJayThe13th Totally agree. Mega Man 9 and 10 were very hard for me. But I think we (including myself) were comparing Mega Man 4 to the first 6 NES installments. I never played Mega Man 8 but from what I've seen on UA-cam, I'll take your word for it. Lol.
This was my very first Megaman game. I remember being happy that I beat dive man as my first boss. Thanks for the video! 👌🏼
Awesome
Settling in for a weekend, and finally getting to play the new MegaMan game is definitely something I miss.
4 has one of my favorite intros
Mega Man IV is easily my favorite of the classic series. Not just that, but it's the forebear to what may well be my favorite rom hack of all time (Minus Infinity).
Saturday morning coffee with UCBVG is one of the best parts of the week. It's my adult weekend morning cartoons. Thank you for doing what you do.
If your having trouble with wily machine 2 you can damage him with the wire adapter without taking any damage a full bar can take about half his health off if I remember right
To this day this is by far my favorite mega man game. This was the first mega man game i had ever played even though back then i sucked at it. Now i know every weakness of every boss like the back of my hand.
I couldn't agree more. Best theme, best subweapons, and best soundtrack, especially the third and fourth Cossack stages
My favorite MM!! I remember when I found the grappling hook and balloon I love this game!!!
this is the only megaman game i had as a kid and i was never able to beat it lol
"But what if I told you..." I love it when you say this. Anyway, I love this channel.
Ahhhh memories. This was actually the 1st Megaman game I beat on my own as a kid. Although back then I used the mega buster waaaay more often then I should've. Great job UCBVG
Yeah I was thinking the same thing when I was a kid, it's funny bc how often you can refill them usually
I think the majority of players never take advantage of the sub weapons during the stage, only the boss
@@skeeterd5150 you're right. I just never bothered using sub weapons on stages because it was just easier that way.
@@skeeterd5150 Yeah, it's just a bit of a hassle to figure out which enemy is weak to which weapon. Though once you get into experimenting with it, it's actually really fun.
I'm honestly just happy that a dog is finally telling me how to best video games, especially a headset dog, the best kind of video game explaining dog.
Great memories with this game. I remember also having a hard time beating the final boss even with game genie and stayed up all night to beat it and it was my first night where I stayed up all night.
Well down again!!! I absolutely love every mega man for the nes..Own em still to this day & still play em..Keep up the Awesomeness!!!
Saturday mornings rock because of you.
This is my favourite Mega Man game on the NES so this is a real treat for me.
Okay, I never knew you could slide under the eyes of the final miniboss in Ring Man's stage. I love learning new things about games I played as a kid.
52:26 Haha there's a reference I didn't expect. Love Dr. Strange! Great guide!
The Mega Man series has always been wonderful and a perfect one for you to cover on this channel.
Excellent video! I think it’s hilarious you can kill Dr Wily early with the rain. I never knew you could do that. Lol
I just wonder why the developers gave him a hit box and hit points??? Ha ha
First time I ever played this game was as part of the Anniversary Collection for PS2. Aside from the 6 NES games, it had 7, 8, and brought in two Arcade-exclusive titles -- Power Battle and Power Fighters, which were both basically Boss Games.
The first 6 NES/Famicom games had a compilation rerelease in Japan as "Rockman Complete Works", which had a lot of music tracks remixed for the games. There was a bonus feature for the game which used the sadly-failed Pocketstation to enhance Megaman's stats.
Ever imagine you'd two-shot a Robot Master with Charged Shots? It's hilarious~
I remember being disappointed that the remixed music wasn't in the Gamecube version for some reason. I traded it in for the PS2 version.
@Blayne06: I have a copy of this on the PlayStation 2 as well. As great as it was, I'm angered that we got screwed out of a LOT of the extras from the Japanese PlayStation re-releases of _Rockman 1_ thru _6_ .
2:56 -- charged shots didn't return for MegaMan 9 and 10 but came back for MegaMan 11
Besides the absurd difficulty levels, Mega Man being neutered in _9_ and _10_ ruined both games for me.
@@Loader2K1 maybe try on Legacy Collection 2? Especially with the half damage mode on.. it especially makes MegaMan 10 on easy mode be stupid easy
@@adventureoflinkmk2: I'll look into it when or if I finally decide to buy a PlayStation 4 or X-Box One.
I was just playing through 1-8 on the Anniversary Collection recently! 4 is my favorite
According to the MegaMix comics, Dr. Cossack already had those robots except Skull Man
The intros where you talk about the history of the game is really informative! Mega Man 4 is also the first of the "It was Wily all along!" Trilogy as I call it on the NES, since you have to go after a fake villain before Wily in Mega Man 5 and 6 too.
Been watching your Mega Man videos and I can tell that as you continue to make these you are more relaxed and even crack more jokes during your walkthroughs. Keep up the good work!
Another great game playthrough. I am not that good with Mega Man titles but I did get the Legacy collection on Xbox One. I will have to give this a try.
Mega Man 4 was so much harder than the previous 3 games. Thank you for creating this tutorial!
My 9yo golden retriever Booster died this week. I like to think he’s up there somewhere happy, with his paws on a controller, beating retro video games.
Wonder why Rock Man never kept the previous boss powers that he accumulated you know
Even though I normally start off at Toad Man's stage, I've actually found myself starting off at Drill Man's stage after finding it possible to beat him without his weakness weapon, especially since defeating Drill Man will give you the Rush Jet Adaptor much earlier in the game.
Toad man is a joke though he is like the easiest megaman boss ever
Was just playing this game a couple months ago. It’s hard!
Never in my wildest dreams would I ever see you cover this game. Will wonders never cease.
This was my favorite Megaman from the NES. When I was a kid, I didn't knew about the drill man bomb to detonate using the B button. To beat Willy first I used the wire and once that ran out of uses I charged the mega buster, then used balloon to reach the red circle and switched back to the buster and it was still charged
It’s like you read my mind! This is the game I was hoping you would cover eventually! Thank you!
My ONLY complaint about this awesome game is.. The Mega Buster weapon is perhaps TOO powerful.
The mega buster is definitely powerful, but at least game has good subweapons, and they all are useful. Now as for MegaMan 5, now that is overpowered. Kills every enemy in one hit and half the subweapons suck
These are invaluable! Thank you for all your work. Will you be doing Mega Man 5?
He did say before that he planned on working in up to MM6 as he goes. I think even some of the other games are still technically on the table but for sure 5 and 6 were planned at some point. I wouldn't count on them being soon though as they've been spread out in the past. I could be wrong and plans could have changed but that's what he commented before.
I've legitimately played and beaten this game well over 50 times and I never knew about the E tank on the first level of Dr. Cossack's Castle. I just recently subbed to your channel and love your non-pretentious, calm approach to explaining how to play and beat these games. Thank you for the service you are providing to the retro gaming community!
I'm always happy when you upload, but these MegaMan games are something special to me
I could just look online the weaknesses online, but I prefer watching one of my favorite fellas guiding us through a classic game
Really wish MegaMan 4, 5 and 6 received more recognition, they're all great games
I loved MM4 great classic title to wake up and watch to with my 🐕 on a Saturday morning
Man, you made this look so easy. I remember Mega Man 4 giving me a hard time as a kid. So many new features and it seemed like physical contact with bosses and enemies was higher than ever.
I now I've your power. Pharoah man punches MegaMan.
I love Mega Man games, but I never had access to this one when I was little. This video has been top shelf
"If you don't take this path. It might end poorly"
Me: instantly hears the knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade saying "He chose..... poorly."
Thank you so much for doing these again! Mega Man is my favorite old school gaming series and I love watching these videos. This one had some great tunes too, good memories.
This is probably my favorite of the NES megamen.
Been subscribed to this channel since the beginning. Another awesome video! Great content as always!
You know, I think this channel was genuinely made as a way to help somewhat older folks get through tougher games, but I just use it as background noise to sleep.
Awesome, first a link to the past and now the continuation of the mega man series my all time favorites from my personal golden era of gaming. This channel is awesome. Just two more mega mans and Castlevania’s to go to complete the circle lol. I don’t even watch tv anymore I fall asleep to this channel playing through all its videos every night on my tv.
My nes collection includes about 500 games most bought when I was younger and the system was out and throughout the years. I had all the nes mega mans 1-6 bought when they released (I was a older kid with a job in the late 80’s so I’d buy a handful of games every couple weeks and built a massive collection). Unfortunately after I retired from the military a few years ago mega man 1 and 5 went missing in the move back home and now they are ridiculously expensive which is asinine these aren’t rare by any stretch of the imagination just people artificially inflating price. Sorry I’m not paying rare game prices for games that literally were million plus print runs and are everywhere. I’m pretty sure movers jacked them to sell on eBay it sucks I like playing on the original system and they were some of my most prized games.
this is a great game. skull man was my nemesis on this game. great guide man. the music is great.
MM4 has some of the most underrated music tracks. Also, Dust Man is my all-rime favorite robot master :)
MegaMan 4 was the only MegaMan game I played until I was a teenager when they came to GameCube
I've discovered your channel some time ago and I only can say I'm completely in love! You rock dude!
This was my favorite MM game when I was a kid. Skull Man is badass, too, and I love the graphics and style of this entry.
I love this game. I always have loved this game. My favorite one of the series is still 3.
For almost 30 years I've been playing these the hard way - no special weapons in the stages. Now I want to revisit them and have a better time.
I got this for my this for my 9th birthday, it was the first Mega Man game I had ever owned, and it is my favorite Mega Man. I love learning all it's secrets and ways to beat the bosses, I remember beating the game for the first time, using the mega buster, because I had no idea that the drill weapon could explode early lol. I'll never forget seeing the ending and loving it cheese and lol. Side note dive missile will also kill the electric ground enemy as well. I love you videos as they are some of the best and most in depth I've ever watched. Thank you for posting!
Wow!! I was just thinking that this would be covered soon, and here it is!! Awesome!!
You are on a serious roll my man. Great work, as always!
One of my favorite mega man games and loved the introduction of the mega buster ..keep up the amazing work and narration 💪💯
Happy to see you still uploading Mega Man videos!
You don't even have to wait for Toad Man to raise his hands, once he lands from jumping you can shoot him immediately.
When I was a kid, I had no idea the robot masters were designed by fans, so I assumed the names that appeared under them at the end credits were the robots’ real names or something. Glad to know the designer of Dust Man went on to pursue his passion and gave us an awesome manga of his own. :)
When this game was released the NES still had some great games to play. The SNES was out, so maybe Megaman 4-6 could've been made for it.
I never played 4-6 because I was obsessed with my SNES and MMX
Awesome. MM3 was the last NES MM game I played because I was already obsessed with my SNES, so I appreciate seeing what I missed. Thanks again for another great video!
11:30 you can actually use Wire against this Wily Machine. Just stay under the hovership and fire Wire above you so it hits the glowing weak spot.
I thinks full Wire could take out half of his health.
I've been waiting on this one! Sweet!
Ok... I DIDN'T know about Ring Boomerang dealing damage to Wily Capsule at the end of the game, good to know for emergency measures.
Megaman 4 with my favorite game of the series, I ended back in the days, I always enjoy your plate throughs now I can watch it without what happened to worry about all those troubles that I used to have to go through ending the game
Thanks to you and this fantastic video, I've just completed this game! Hugely appreciated! It's a fantastic game!
Man, I needed this like 3 months ago! I was playing 1-6 on the Legacy Collection and I used your videos when I needed help. I had to actually learn this stuff on my own with 4-6 😂. Now I know my way around these games pretty well but you're so entertaining and always know stuff that I don't so I always enjoy these videos.
Also, I'm sure you have an enormous backlog but I'm wondering if you'd consider putting Mega Man 9 and 10 on your list of possible games? I think they're very good additions to the series and are interesting since they were added so late. I'm not sure if your audience would be into it though because I know a lot of old school guys are kind of iffy on those games so I totally understand if we never get around to them.
Awesome! I've been waiting for you to finish the mega man nes series
I laughed for about 3 minutes straight when you killed Dr. Wily with the rainflush.
Top tier gameplay.
Top tier commentary.
Always looking forward to the next game.
GGs 👍
21:02 -- I personally like to hang out on the ladder, then when the flip top guy (aka Eddie) spits out an item, if I don't like it I can climb down and back up from there. Lather rinse repeat until Eddie.. or the flip top guy.. gives me something desirable (y'know like a 1up or an energy tank)
Another high quality content. I look forward to the upload ever Saturday.
And again, I just beat this one thanks to you! Cheers from Brazil
So hyped and excited for this one
There is another, albeit tedious and risky, method of defeating the second form of the skull machine: the wire adapter. Standing under the machine, you can fire the wire up to the weakness. Depending on the machine’s movement you might get two hits, one as the wire goes up and another when it comes back down. However, Megaman can’t move when the wire is deployed, so you’re a sitting duck for any attacks. You have to hang out on the right edge of the machine’s horizontal range and just wait for it to move over you. Fire the wire up and hope for the best.
When I beat this game the first time, I actually figured out this method and used it to defeat the boss. I was renting the game, and didn’t have the manual to tell me that drill bombs could be exploded in flight. I had barely used the drill bomb because I took on Drill Man last, and I am very conservative with weapon energy not knowing what weaknesses the bosses have. On the Skull Machine, I saw the drill bombs bounce off, so I cycled through all the other weapons and saw that nothing worked. I concluded that you had to use the buster and kept getting killed. Then I had the idea for the wire. It was annoying to defeat it that way, but at least I had a more safe spot to try to attack it. Only much later did I realize drill bombs could be exploded in flight. I don’t know how long I spent trying to defeat the Skull Machine with the wire, but it can be done!
I was wondering if someone was gonna mention the wire method. I too didn't know the drill bombs could explode before impact so I also got the idea to use the wire. It was very time consuming and it made this boss much more difficult.
Always super entertaining videos. Find myself watching these even on games I completed.
Always swoop in to give the likes. I really hope this channel takes off.
MM4 will always be my favourite on the NES.
2 and 3 are also great, but 4 will always be top for me.
Newly subbed!. Been on a binge watching your video's. Thank you for all your hard work you put into your video's. Keep up the awesome job, and love your furbaby.
Been watching all your videos. They rock
I love Mega Man!! Thanks for doing this one!
