Hi everyone! I've recorded a new 4K playthrough for much better video quality - please check out that video instead! ua-cam.com/video/F0pYojR9Xf8/v-deo.html
Out of all the classic mega man games, this is #2 on my most favorites. The opening, the boss theme, all of the Robot master themes even, are all super well composed.
2-5 are AMAZING games for sure. 6 and 1 were good too, of course mostly because 1 was the origin, and 6 seemed to be climactic with Wily going to jail. 5 is fun, all the way around. 4 was probably tied with 3 for me, in terms of best classic megaman games.
I personally enjoyed the second half of the NES era Mega Man games (4-6) more than the First Half (1-3)
4-6 were more polished and had more variety and had better music personally
Same, minus 5. 4 and 6 were the epitome of Megaman
I LOVE Mega Man 5!! ...Not my favorite, mind you, but I actually love the soundtrack. I didn't really find anything wrong with it. Okay, maybe I'm nostalgic but whatever. It's fun, it's creative, it's Mega Man, and darn it, it's STILL one of the very best the NES has to offer!
The Real Sean W. Stewart I think part 2 and 3 are the best in the Series
Alex Aguilar I think 2, 4, 6, 7, and 11 are the best in the classic series
3, 4,7, 8 and 10 are my favorites.
My favorite will always be #1💖

41:23 proto man's stage 3
45:28 proto man's stage 4
We have our most beloved Mega Man games and all that, but the truth is that Capcom created 11 excellent games in the classic series.
Por que se ve tan rápido? Acabo de jugarlo en mi Family Game y se ve mas lento y armonioso. Mi Family es de los 90, un Family común.
Puede ser un error de la versión de family así como algunas versiones del primer super mario bros q va muy rápido, por q así como en el video siempre a sido en la versión de nes y famicom.
mega man 2 is the best
(judging from thumbnail) Dumb Mega Man, can't even hold the paper.
Mr. Grongy dude...I love the Keen icon pic.😀
I wonder if he has articulated fingers. It's not like he ever needs them with a cannon for an arm.
This game is $200 run had to see why
The NA version is expensive, but the Japanese Famicom version goes for real cheap.
To be honest, the fact that MegaMan games all have the same format never bothered me. While some stages aren't really that memorable, most are at least fun to play, even if they're forgettable. And I really appreciate in later games that the length is padded out in a better way with the fake villains than it was in 3 with the doc robots, even though 3 is probably my favorite MegaMan. The later games are some of the best looking the NES had to offer, and I think 9&10 are good looking too, I really like the 8-bit look. While the format is the same in every game and it probably always will be, I will always enjoy playing through these adventure, because Megaman is fun.
people tend to forget how exciting these games were when they came out ;)
Dude it’s insane how good you are, definitely one of the best Megaman gameplays I’ve seen for any of the games in the series.
Thanks, I appreciate it! :)
I agree too! Also I have a request ☺ 😊 🙂 😌 😄 Voice reveal PLEASE,
For the NES, these graphics are amazing
By this time Capcom knew how to use the full power of the new. Better detailed sprites and background, improved animation and better color blending.
I mean this is a Japanese game. Their technology is way more advanced than USA.
Imagine how it'd look like when Sequel Wars version of Mega Man 5 comes out
Are still amazing ❤
fr though
Mega Man 5 is where Mega Man fights “Proto Man” and eight new Robot Masters that Doctor Wily created (Stone Man, Gravity Man, Crystal Man, Charge Man, Napalm Man, Wave Man, Star Man, and Gyro Man, numbered 33-40 because there are 32 others before them in the first four games). It’s where Mega Man first meet Beat, who became his sidekick. "Proto Man" is actually one of four completely evil robots called the Dark Men who tried to make the real Proto Man look bad. It was Wily's plan, after all. I bet Proto Man cleared his name after all the Dark Men are destroyed. I believe that after MM5’s Robot Masters were created, they have good hearts and never wanted to obey Wily, so Wily mind-controlled them (Ask Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot's first book about it). After Mega Man defeated all eight of these RMs, he freed them from Wily’s mind-control, and then Doctor Light adopted these new RMs as his new sons. They are doing jobs (I can say the same to the RMs from the first four games). Boy, I want a remake that has the same graphics and bonus stuff as Mega Man 11. And/or, a 3-D action-adventure remake/version that does all this, and the 3-D part would be like Kirby and the Forgotten Land in 2022 rather than Mega Man X7 (that game was weird).🙏 Stone Man is my favorite in MM5.
No matter how much I always thought this one felt totally recycled, it's still Mega Man, and it's a great game. It's just not a great Mega Man game.
NintendoComplete, are you going to play Mega Man 6 next?
Can't wait for 6!
NintendoComplete agreed. They made this one way too easy. Awesome music, but way too easy. I forgot how annoying the charge cannon sound is
NintendoComplete still better than mega man 4 imo, especially the level design
Still one of my favorites next to Mega Man 3.
Proto man's castle theme is so good
Kooltrex Yes Willy this time
It’s dark man
@@laithakkad2221 we know
Two things I like about the Mega Man 5:
1) The M Tank. Although you can only get one, it refills your health plus all your weapons. Great power-up
2) BEAT. To get Beat, you have to get each letter in the robot stages that spell MEGAMANV. Beat helps defeat enemies easier. Use him especially when fighting Dark Man disguise as Protoman and Dr. Wily in the capsule.
Which is Why you always beat Gravity Man first or Star Man. MM5 Riddle: Go Without Gravity First.
@ 47:36 The punctuation on "Ha, Ha, Ha." is so fucking extra lol
I know a lot of people feel "blah" about this Mega Man, but one thing I think is great about it is that the ideas for the bosses in this game were great compared to some of the head scratchers from MM3 and MM4. Um...Hard Man? Top Man? Dust Man? Toad Man? At least this one had some really great bosses.
Mega Man (Male)
star man is epic
eh dust man's cool but yea bosses are good in this one
How dare you insult Toad Man and Hard Man!
@@apdavis true
It’s not my favorite, but I still consider it a good mega man game
Mega Man Is A Male 👨🏻♂
@@martafreire8186 omg hes a male
Mega Man Drinking Game
Rules:
Everytime you get a 1-Up, take a shot
Mega Man (Blue)
This game Is just too easy.
One thing with Mega Man 5 that is cool is how it also plays onto what happened in the end of Mega Man 4, with Dr. Wily using Dark Man to set up Proto Man due to wanting payback for Proto Man betraying him by helping save Kalinka while Mega Man fought Dr. Cossack. Even with repeating the fake villain path that Mega Man 3 began for the classic series, Mega Man 5 had some cool stage design and music too, as well as things like improving on the Mega Buster upgrade 4 introduced with the Super Mega Buster thanks to Dr. Cossack as well as bringing in Beat as a new companion on top of Rush and Eddie.
Many have argued that this entry is one of the more refined entries in the NES hexalogy.. .. ..can't say If I agree as several other reviewers have mentioned that the "Beat the Bird" item almost breaks the game and unlike the previous 4 entries, the "Robot Master" weapons don't seem very useful when compared to the "Mega Buster" which had a tremendous boost in width and power.. ...which is probably why they programmed the Charge Shot to reset after taking damage and "Star man's" low gravity stage physics is arguably no different than an underwater stage, right??
Despite that, I do like this entry a lot and prefer this over "MM4" cause I simply LOVE this entry's stage esthetics with it's very detailed spite and background graphics and fun stage themes and gimmicks!!
Also, has anyone watched that Megaman OVA featuring the character cast and "Robot Master" weapons from "MM5"?? It's quite a fun animation!! ^_^
I know this has nothing to do with MMV, but I gotta say props to your word usage. I wonder how many people saw the word hexalogy and dismissed it as a mistake. No doubt the same crowd that insists on using quadrilogy over tetralogy ;D
i agree with the various points you make. what OVA are you referring to? i'm interested in checking it out
Yes I thoroughly agree with you. I'm currently playing it for the first time via the Legacy Collection and I missed one letter to get the Beat Bird weapon...and the games last bosses like the Dark Man etc feel rather unfair. Up until this point I was really enjoying MM 5 ..but this has changed my opinion of it..nonetheless the stage designs are fantastic and as always the music. I hope I can still beat Wily at the end without Beat...cause the final Dark Man was soooo frustrating
i'd argue beat doesn't really break the game as you don't get it till dark man/wily stages, there it's pretty broken i suppose (makes complete fodder of the final boss lol) and yea most of the weapons arent very strong either but im fine with the mega buster being good and the weapons still have their fair share of uses for making sections easier, even if it isn't as significant as something like MM9 where all the weapons are good and serve a purpose
I think the level design and aesthetics are great in this game for sure, the game's a lot of fun to play through overall, my biggest criticism is some of the bosses are too easy or bland (I can buster-only 6/8 of the robot masters in this game which is a rarity for me lol) though I will say the Dark Men can be kind of tricky despite having simple patterns
I think I've seen part of that OVA... is it the one where Mega Man jumps out of the screen? I'll have to finish watching it sometime
I 💘 Mega Man as an Autistic NES/Capcom fan player.
I do too as a non-Austitic NES/Capcom fan player.
NintendoComplete what about Disney's Gummi Bears NES from Capcom?
( www.childhoodremastered.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/gummi.jpg )
That was never a game. I loved that show as a kid though :)
I also have Autism and when I was in my early teens I also was a big fan of Mega Man
Wish Upon a star??
Best MegaMan game in the franchise. The bosses were cool. The plot twist with Proto Man and Dark man was interesting. Cool game and graphics with weapons.
It's hard to believe in 2022, this game will be 30 years old. It feels like yesterday when I was renting this from a mom and pop video store. My only complaint about Mega Man 5 is how they nerfed Rush to not be game breaking, and how they nerfed the Mega Buster. Granted, they gave it a bigger blast radius at the cost of losing your charge when you take damage.
Overall, it's still a great game in the 12 Mega Man (Classic Series) games released over the course of 35 years.
replayed this game today... probably died 20+ times but never game overed because of how many lives this game gives you lol
it's not the hardest or most creative mega man game in the series, but it's a very fun platformer all the same and it was better than i remembered!
Ouch. They weren't even trying with that music.
The good ol days, MM 2,3 an 5 are my favs. be blessed ,saved in Jesus shalom
And to say that I never played Megaman before, I got interested in Megaman 11 and I planned to try the game out.
Graphically getting on for being as good as any mastersytem game.
la banda musical de este juego es unico en el boss protoman
Stone Man has probably the most worthless weapon in the game...spin boulders around that miss just about every enemy on screen
2-5 are my favorite classic megaman games for sure. 3-4 for me at least, are tied as my favorite. But 5 is an incredibly fun game. Of course, i enjoyed 1 and 6 for their own reasons. Great play-through
MM5 had the worst soundtrack, but at least the game was easier than MM3
Honestly, I'd say that this one is my least favorite of the original 6. In particular, I found the music to be very uninspired. I can still hum tunes from the first 3 games to this day, and the soundtrack in 4 wasn't super fantastic or anything, but this one was just blah. Compared to 2 and 3 especially, this one is mediocre. Still fun, still a great game overall, just not as good.
I agree about the soundtrack opinion
What was that, protoman like appeering from above,then the real protoman shoot his buster on fake protoman and Protoman give L Tank to Megaman regain his energy HP to Defeat Fake Protoman AKA Darkman.
After the second part, every time I died I had to start from the begining of the second part 🤔😕
Not the best of the classic series, and follows the formula of the previous games, but you can't go wrong when playing a Mega Man game, even if by the 5th game, the formula got a bit tired.
Gotta love the cute little "lags" when there are too many things on the screen.
I have to agree with Mega Man 5 being a solid game. I will say that of the most of the master weapons in Mega Man 5 are either TOO situational, just plain suck or are worse versions of the master weapons of previous games (one example being Water Wave; I felt that Water Wave was just a worse version of Bubble Lead from Mega Man 2, but I digress - then again, I use the Mega Buster during the robot master fights (not the re-fights, though - the re-fights I use their weaknesses to kill them off faster)). Also, another thing - WHY did Capcom decide to make a VARIANT of a shield WEAPON? I mean, Power Stone (the shield variant) misses it's targets half the time (making it half-useless), there can't be more than one Power Stone on the screen at a time (making THAT weapon mediocre as all get out - unless you PAUSE the game and cancel the current Power Stone debris on the screen) and USING Power Stone against Charge Man is probably suicide - yes, Power Stone IS the correct weakness to use against Charge Man, but since the thing misses half the time AND the fact that ONLY ONE Power Stone can be on the screen at ANY given time, that means you have to be RIGHT NEXT TO CHARGE MAN TO HAVE A CHANCE OF DOING DAMAGE TO CHARGE MAN WITH IT. Oh, and he's moving most of the time AND he has TWO "invincible" moves that he can do. So I use a charge Mega Buster shot to not deal with the headache of trying to hit (and avoid) Charge Man while TRYING to do damage to him using the Power Stone.
However, I did play a hack called Rockman 5: Double Jumper which improves Power Stone's accuracy and actually LETS you fire three Power Stones (in a straight line, instead of that circle motion that Power Stone uses in the original Mega Man 5) at any given time on the screen.
Sorry for that rant, but Power Stone is awful to use - so I don't use it.
I do love Mega Man 5 DESPITE Power Stone being awful and a pain in the bottom to use (because of it's accuracy being poor) because of it's level design (I mean, there's only one other game in the NES library that uses the gravity gimmick in Gravity Man's stage - that I know of) and Wave Man's stage - while that may be sort of a pain to get through sometimes, I generally do like the jet ski part of that stage, because of it's graphics and level design. Also, it's one of only two stages to use "parallax scrolling" (meaning that different objects in the background move at different speeds than different objects in the foreground - just like in real life)! The other stage to do that is Charge Man's stage. I have to admit - that really impresses me when NES games imitate "parallax scrolling" - like Ninja Gaiden 2 and 3 did on the NES.
thx for the gameplay, now i can beat the game :)
bruh
What's with 5 dropping extra lives left snd right? It's like the algorithm was busted or something.
I hope Mega Man brought his N-word pass before he decided to take down Napalm Man.
Not my favorite but there is one moment from my first play I'll always remember: starting the Wily Fortress. You're tasked with saving Dr. Light's life for the first and only time, and you're greeted by a very threatening yet sad song and one of the hardest fortress stages in the series.
MM5 isn't my favorite of the series, but it definitely had some solid game play during the last years of the NES.
29:35 One of the best stage themes in MM history.
Also Central highway ( even though its not in this game)
@@legendgamer4464 thank you, I will look it up 🤗
46:00 I though it was real protoman but i realize it has no scarf and the whistle is diferent and i stared to shock after the rel protoman come
Really? I like the music better in this one than 4. Most of this game I like better than 4, though there are quite a few steps backward - like the lame power up scenes after defeating each boss.
But I can never forgive Megaman 4 for destroying the theme song during the credits. It just sounds awful. So awful it makes me angry.
Funny enough. 3 is the first game to try the "Not Wily this time" thing. It's just no one knows it because it was only in the manual
Octopuswithcorn It shows him as a robot in the game (his head goes all springy) when you kill the fake one, but yeah, you're right. It's not at all explained in the game. And then Dr. Cossack was the beginning of the "wait, a bad guy that's not related to Dr. Wily?" formula, with all obvious decoys being obvious lol, but Fake Wily was, fittingly enough, a prototype use of a plot template :D
My Master Order:
1- Charge Man
2- Wave Man
3- Star Man
4- Gravity Man
5- Gyro Man
6- Crystal Man
7- Napalm Man
8- Stone Man
I always found gravity man the easiest (by far), due to his pattern. Stone man and napalm man too, somewhat. I always did crystal man and wave man last. As far as the aforementioned, im strictly talking without using their weaknesses; just the M. Buster
0:08 Real footage of Blues actually being Blue instead of Red
I wonder if Capcom will do a modern remake of this.
Megaman 11 😀
the intro never fails to hit the feels
El mejor juego de megaman que eh conocido.
Tremenda obra de arte
Nico Evaluates pulse is just worse
This was my first megaman game!
The missiles that go up and down look like Charlie Brown. Now you can't unsee it. You're welcome.
What happens if you spell out megaman5?
if i recall, i always started with stone man, which lead to charge man. i need to play this game again.
I need that fucking game for my NES
Also 1 and the fucking 6
I Love Mega Man ❤️
I like all megaman games if protoman/blues in that game (like megaman 3,megaman5, megaman and bass, megaman powered up)
And in comics to :)
My favorite Megaman game:)
The 5th game is still excellent. 😀👍🎮
Probably one of the worst megaman games Capcom made. They put zero effort into 5's storyline or originality. 6 definitely brought this franchise back to life!
When are we gonna stop holding in high regard games with crappy gameplay and “great”music and graphics lol. The music is fine not like u can’t find better elsewhere and the graphics are great sure but we’re far into the nes’s life at this point so it’s nice to see they took it as far as they did but it’s capcom what do you expect and the level and enemy designs are boring and overdone at this point. Charge man, gravity man, and wave man’s stages are the only somewhat remembeable ones. The bosses robots and the protoman stages are eh along with the wily stages. It just makes you want to play a better megaman game instead.
I love Megaman 5!
You and me both I still have the anniversary collection of this
Chargeman Was IMPOSSIBLE
The best Megaman playability.
The falling crystals in Crystal Man's stage kicked my ass consistently... and then you show me a rather obvious way to get through it. D'oh!
I also had difficulty in the falling crystals part; however, I used the Super Arrow to help me stay near the crossing area,just in case I got hit.
I also had difficulty in the falling crystals part; however, I used the Super Arrow to help me stay near the crossing area,just in case I got hit.
I really like this game. If only for the music and new gimmicks. Wave Man’s stage is unfair though with the blind enemies and little time to react
Omfg I hate that jet ski part
B-But...I Love that Jet ski section.. …(> v
yea the stage isnt very good, the first section and wave man himself are a lot better if you have charge kick tho
Yea yea the music and graphics all I see in the comments what about the gameplay where you shoot everything and it dies immediately though what kinda of bs
Trivia: Napalm Man's stage is heavily based on Vietnam War thus the game was banned on that country as a result.
THE worst game in MM series.
Such an OK Mega Man game. 6 is way better in my opinion
Brilliant
MEGA BUSTERS
TIME TO SHINE BABY!!!!!!
#MegaMan 👨🏻
12:46 Thats a good idea.
Gyroman like gyromite
I remember at I rented Mega Man 5 from video store and completed it. But I did not remember the whole game.
It looks like a 16bit game. amazing
Proto Man whistle 😙😙 45:30
Dark Man defeated Dr Wily bird 🐦🕊️🕊️
Busted mega man star man ⭐⭐⭐ stone man
Wave Man Gyro Man Napalm Man Crystal Man
Gravity Man bosses
Legends Always use Mega Buster vs any villain xD
I start off with Wave Man instead of Star Man
Everything after MM3 felt... just not as clean. Forgettable music. And maybe unpopular opinion but I hate the charge shot in the NES MM games. Loved it in MMX tho.
i just turned 31 and wanted to replay all of the MM games. i forgot how difficult they were. i can only beat them playing alongside these Playthrough now
I can see why a friend of mine's gov. didn't want this game to be licensed there... Hiya, Hermos Flutter!
mega man,.,.,,..,., AME lo jugue una que otra vez...... que lindo gracias x subirlo--.-.-
46:09 Mega Man: WAIT, NO- ACK!!!
The game has a weird backstory to it
That blue bird is amazing.
Beat
Yes he is. He was best in beating dark man stage 4 and Dr. Wily in the capsule.
i saw someone playing megaman 4 and willy curses protoman at the plot twist. it didn't make any sense on that game.
How do you beat so many games so fast?!
Michael Rhodes I don't hahaha, these Mega Man videos were recorded quite awhile back. I've got quite a bit of stuff already done that is just waiting to be posted
The best one
Not my favorite mega man but it's way better than 6 and definitely one of the more underrated mega man games ever. Personally, I always liked 2 and 4 the best but thats just me. This one is pretty close.
Exploding Tank
Dark Mans Are I II III IV
What I don't like about this game compared to other mega man games are the death spikes that always present in stages
Megaman 5 aka entry level megaman
