Mega Man (NES) Playthrough- NintendoComplete

- A playthrough of Capcom's 1987 platformer for the NES, Mega Man.
Mega Man marked the beginnings of one of Capcom's largest and most successful franchises. With it, Keiji Inafune and friends established the blue bomber as an icon of the 8-bit generation, and did so with an incredible amount of panache for a game of its age, especially given that it was a new IP.
Mega Man isn't as refined or as balanced as many of its sequels, but still it handily earns its spot among the NES's top-shelf action games. It's also the hardest of the six original NES titles, with punishing boss fights and some insanely hard-to-avoid obstacles. It does, however, more than reward you for the effort with the sheer quality of its gameplay.
The game has seen a number of rereleases over the years, as well as a couple of remakes. It got a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive remake as part of The Wily Wars, a PS1 release as part of the Rockman Complete Works series (a line of enhanced ports that were also later put on the GameCube/PS2/Xbox in Mega Man Collection), and yet another full remake, Mega Man Powered Up released exclusively for the PSP.
They're all good, but the original NES version is still my go-to!
Whether you like the game or not, it's difficult to not respect it for what it accomplished, both for Mega Man and for action games in general.
Oh yeah, while recording this, I experienced a glitch at 34:35. I've never seen that before in all the times I've played this - I guess it didn't expect me to get hit as the screen was transitioning. I left it in (instead of recording the video over again) because I thought it was a nifty little quirk.

![Evolution of Mega Man Games [1987-2023]](/img/n.gif)
Man... I'm 38, but still remember how hell hard was to done this game about 25 years ago... Very, very hard game.
I got this in 1988 and breezed through it except for Iceman which took me a couple of weeks of long afterschool play to master and then of course I had to figure out the Rockman cheat which I think was in Nintendo Power lol
@@martafreire3585 but i've done it those years ago. This is my achivment. I win it many years ago.
OMG... the frustration!
me too 1986
I'm 42. And yes. It was a very Hard game back then.
Mega Man teaches me to use the right tool (or weapon) to get the job done. I never excelled at Mega Man, but I do enjoy seeing others tackle the difficulty. I had never seen the Dr. Wily stage in all its entirety until today. Knowing when to switch and use each change effectively really takes persistence, skill, and timing. Congrats to NintendoComplete for this playthrough of Mega Man.
Why is this so mesmerizing? my brother used to play this game while I would die on the second level of Mario. Reminded me of a part of my childhood that I had forgotten that I had lost.
😢😊❤❤
Pdffé😢😢
cutman stage music got stuck in my head for 20+ years. to this day one of my favorite tracks
Agreed.Along with 🧊man's
I got this for Xmas in 1988 and its one of the first NES games I ever finished. To this day it’s still my favorite.
Damn , it's that old I played this game when I was super young when my uncle gave me his old CD (it had some emulators ) which he got while cleaning up his home . I used to play the shit outta it and am currently 17 ( I grew up with technology that was 20 years older than me)
Mega man was the first game you finished? So either you happened to be good at mega man, you liked the game so much that you didn’t want to stop playing until it was finished, or you cheated(I don’t really think that it was the cheating one though).
Would've gotten this weren't not for the disgusting front cover. I only rented it after Nintendo Power gave credible hype for the soon to come Mega Man 2. Yeah. I missed out on a classic.
You mean Christmas not Xmas!
I play the mega man before when I was 7
41:11 the theme that becomes Mega Man 2
My big bro absolutely loved this game. He would play this for hours, while I help him finish it. I miss my big bro. We all miss those years when we were just little, carefree children 😭😭
This takes me back to my elementary school days. Everyone I knew was into this game back then. I will always love this game. All these years later and it's still just as good as it was then.
This game brings back happy childhood memories. One of the greatest games ever made.
Back when this game came out, the graphics were great. Mega Man was really well drawn for the time.
Mega Man's winning combination of graphics, sound, and harshly difficult but fair gameplay make it a game that, while not as good as its direct sequels, deserves much recognition for its incredible achievements.
NintendoComplete Not as good as Mega Man 2 though. The music is good, but it sure ain't no Tim Follin.
Extremewrecker2000 The willer. Maybe so, but Tim Follin was no Matsumae Manami, either. She's her own legend, and she deserves to be :)
NintendoComplete I know, but she uses extra hardware so it could be considered cheating. Plus, I don't like her music as much as Tim Follin's. Tim really is a true god of music especially since he composed amazing music for more systems than she has.
Extremewrecker2000 The willer. What do you mean? Basic mmu aside (iirc it used an unrom board?), this was all stock NES hardware. There wasn't anything expanding the base system's sound capabilities here.
NintendoComplete, didn't you already cover this game before?

My favorite game when i was child😖
I used to play this game whole day even when my head and eyes had ache 😭
Missing my childhood.
Did you ever beat it?
So many days, nights, holidays etc. Playing this game. As soon as the music starts my nostalgia immediately kicks in.
A eternal classic for nes.
I'll never forget how I reacquired this game, after I initially had it in the early to mid 90's, but foolishly sold it to a friend of mine not too long afterwords when I got sick of it, which I deeply regretted shortly after. I got it back from a kid I went to middle school with, who knew I was a huge Mega Man fan, and offered to sell the game to me for a very generous $5-$10 at the most, way back in 1998. Well the poor chap got kicked out of school the very same day he gave me the game (which I was going to pay him for the next day), and needless to say, got it for free as a result too! The best part about that was the kid didn't even like me, and vice-versa too! Whoever thought he would end up doing me one of the biggest favors of my life by some odd coincidence though!? (L.O.L.!)
Nice dude why did he get kicked out?
@@Tr7.713 Not sure off-hand, and I believe he was homebound, or something like that afterwards. He did eventually come back, so it apparently wasn't permanent, albeit not for the rest of the school year. He was a grade behind me, and was in middle school when I met him. I would occasionally see him in the hallways when we were in high school years later, but never bothered to ask about the money I owed him, and never acknowledged each-other at any point either!
Oh ok
@@Tr7.713 I'll forever owe him a debt for that too! Never saw him after high school, and good thing he apparently didn't have my memory for that matter either!
@@freakyfornash pay him then if you owe him
Wow the memories...... I'm 40 now would love go back in time in my old house playing this in the basement on the old school TV where I spent hours of my time.
80’s music-even in video games-is the best ever.
With you
this game was so cute lol
Iceman stage was the hardest one for me. I miss my childhood. 😢
Random thought in my head brought me here
me too =P
Pff
I thought I am the only one
Me three. Just thought to myself, "Ya know... I wanna see some old Megaman gameplay."
same bro :/
The original classic of the series. I was in elementary in 1988. My best friend talked about this game non stop. We both spoke of video games and going through Nintendo power in after school, drawing and joking around and talking about mega man. That I ended up getting mega man 2 by my dad one afternoon. Took that shit to school to show it off even 😂. The game was my favorite game from NES. From there then on I got every mega man game that came out in its release date order either for birthday, Christmas or obsessing and driving my dad crazy to get it for me and would surprise me with it randomly when I arrived home with the game in my room form Sears or toys r us. Good times. Still recall getting the games as if it was last year, Sears upstairs had the Nintendo section which was like a gold mine whenever you saw that nintendo logo hanging over head in the distance through all the clothes rack. The games were all displayed in the locked glass cases surrounding the clerk and all around it was always packed with kids and their dads looking through the glass for their favorite or next title and waiting their turn for the clerk to come around to tend to you. It was like a bar and getting the bartenders attention You were lucky enough if you got the last game that was seen in display case. Sometimes a family would get it right before you. Nowadays you go to target or Walmart or whatever and the video game section is missing that magic from yesteryear. And at toys r us, was always awesome to get your copy of a NES game. It was exciting as shit. Going through the video game isle with hundreds of NES games box photos on the walk and under each box set was a plastic transparent index holder with the some ticket with game number and you would grab one and take it to the back where there was a window and a worker would take your ticket snd bring out the game and you pay up front. If there was no tickets left in the plastic index card holder, it meant the game was sold out. It crushed every boy im sure when they came to grab a ticket only to learn the game is not available and you keep coming back to store to see when the the tickets are stocked full under your games photo. Good times simple times that today’s generation won’t see or appreciate. Those were the days we really appreciated and worked for what we want and took care of it snd took nothing for granted!
Mega man 1 was actually my last MM game I got after MM6. Only because I played it a ton of times at that friends house while I had the rest of the saga at home and didn’t feel the need to buy it until you never saw it available again during the 90’s as games were constantly turned over and taken out of stores…but when I got older and internet was born, ebay was discovered and I purchased mm1 finally for collector reason. Hated that I had that missing title.
The one game I was lucky to get the last of at Toys R Us was the PC Castlevania and Contra collection, they had the very last one I'd ever see sell in my town. Otherwise I always got lucky the times I got games at Toys R Us, they never were out of stock for the games I was after.
That is until a certain Game Boy game I wanted turned out to be a bitch to find. Toys R Us nor anyone else had the damned thing, that is until a last resort call to Dillard's Department store turned up the absolute LAST copy I'd ever see for sale back then. The lady who got the game out of the display glass case for me even told me that I got lucky, as soon Dillard's would stop handling video games. I still have that copy in box complete to this day, beaten many, many times over the years.
That game, Link's Awakening for Game Boy.
And so, a Legendary hero captured our hearts. Rock on Mega Man!
My favorite thing about mega man games is the music. I am in awe how effortlessly this person can play and enjoy themselves listen to capcom’s masterpieces.
replaying this game now. Skill and memorization is more important than ever!
WOO!! The game that started it all!! What a classic! My favorite Capcom series!! All these games are still fun to play, too.
The Real Sean W. Stewart, Hello Once Again Cute Little Girl w/ Gray Hair and Green Clothing!
Now, where is that character (YOUR profile pic) from?
(Fight ROCK MAN, For Everlasting Piece!)
Dorian Scott, she's *Youmu Konpaku* from *Touhou Project.* Touhou you might've heard of if you're into kind of cult-level popular Japanese game stuffs, but Touhou is special. ZUN's still making new games for it since the 90s! It's a great series. Anyway, Youmu-chan here is a half-phantom girl who serves Yuyuko Saigyouji in the land of Gensokyo and wields two swords. She was introduced in the seventh game, *Perfect Cherry Blossom* for PC. Although this particular image of her I have here is from a Pokémon-style fangame where you can catch and battle Puppets made in the shape of many characters throughout the series. This is actually a Puppet of Youmu that I took from my Trainer Card in *Touhou Puppet Dance Performance.* You can have these close-ups of the Puppet standing along your own human player character depending on the Puppet you've picked at the very beginning of the game, and thus becomes your starter waifu. Yes, Youmu-chan is mai waifu, and I love her very much!
Cool, I'll have to look into this!
Bolding some phrases in UA-cam comments, nice!
(My Favorite *Capcom* series is the *Disney's Magical Quest* games, fantastic games!)

Ax b.s..
The very first game I ever rented. Never could get past that damned Devil, but I've since beaten it multiple times. Mega Man blinking was utterly mind blowing back in the day, too.
The pause glitch
@@cp2348 Never knew about it. No internet back then.
23:33 ALERT!
Intruder infiltrated
Dr. Willy’s ship is so freakin noisy
26:30 i remember when my big bro was smacked by my mom when he kept cursing when this yellow boss kept moving around😂
34:48 i love you can tell from their in game moments just how puzzled they are at what just happened
I was born in 1988 and this game is one of my favorites
This game is tough as nails.
This video has been replaced by a brand new 4K playthrough. Please check that out instead! ua-cam.com/video/PxyLui5LdCc/v-deo.html
My friends owned this game. So my brother and I would go to their house and play it. It took us several months to figure out the game had an order and pattern. Then once we discovered the Dr Wiley stages, we were hooked! We were super excited to finally figure it out and beat the game.
This was an incredibly difficult game. You had to recognize the patterns of the bosses and of course the last stage was just bonkers.
34:39 Wow that's a hell of a glitch right there o_o
@@marcelasaraivademelo3520 we know
I preordered Mega Man 11 to support it’s success. Other people play the older games to get ready for the release.
Played this on the Anniversary Collection... Sure was tough, but I made it to the very end!
"Fight Mega Man! For everlasting peace!"
I just bought this game on Nintendo eShop. I'd never played it before. But I fell in love with the story and the gameplay. I've never appreciated this saga before.
For me this is pure Mega Man. I've been playing since 1987 and I still pick up and play to make sure I haven't lost "it." I routinely beat it without dying. No one cares anymore.
As long as you still care for the game, nothing else matters if anyone else does or not.
This video brings out some old memories.Ahh
My favorite NES game. Mega Man rules!
I think it's about time I checked out the Mega Man franchise.
34:40 - Wow. Never seen someone kicked out of the boss room like that before. What a fluke. 😂
Pausing/slow-mo during "one eye" boss made electricity hits more damaging (if i remember correctly)
cutmans weapon destroys those rovers on ice mans world. but your mastery of those floating propeller platforms was outstanding!
I love this game. We would play Mega Man into the next day arms were about to fall off.
I like this. Not a too-cool-for-school no damage playthrough (usually tool assisted), but an honest playthrough with little errors we all made back in the day. I never beat this one. I beat 2, 3, 4, and X, but never 1.
It's always good to see someone do what appears impossible. Well done 👍
I rented this game so much back in the day...
I Love Mega Man ❤️
I bought Megaman Legacy Collection for the Switch and I'm now trying to put most (if not all) of the Megaman games on my channel. I have MM2 for now, hopefully I'll do the rest soon.
Had to turn the volume down in order to stay up till 5am playing this..🤣🤣
Never knew mega man would push the NES’s graphics to its limits
Its one of the best looking NES games only Metroid and Kid Icarus might look better
if this pushes the game to its limits, you should check out kirby's adventure
Surprisingly the last of the classic series I added to my collection, my friend gave me their cart of the game. That friend helped me acquire several games in the classic series for NES and the last 2 Gameboy titles, IV and V.
13:14
😢 that piece of equipment or weapon should have been explained to me when I was a child 😂❤
The music of this game though... one of my favorites!!! Got a Playlist on pandora dedicated to it even.
I’m 41 y.o… nostalgia. Best game ever! Hello from Russia!❤
Theme at 23:43 is my absolute favorite . Brings back so many good memories.
I think people don’t talk about how hard this was.
It was extremely hard until you got the hang of it. Back in the day, we were use to games being hard. A lot of NES games needed skill and memorization to get through to the end. Some people will never know.....
It was (is for most) crazy hard. I beat Mega Man 2 several times in the early 90s before I was able to beat the first installment lol Not having E-tanks yet is a pain. Timing jumps was always so hard for me so the Yellow Devil and the Dragon in Mega Man 2 saw me die hundreds of times probably lol
I wanted this game so badly. I looked for it everywhere and never could find it.
Hands down mah favorite entry in the classic series!!
I love the game's soundtrack, bosses, difficulty, and High Score counter!!
It's so much fun to try and get or beat yer highest score before you get a Game Over!! > w
This is the most difficult game of the franchise and the only one I have never beaten.
cant believe, im playing this when i was 5
Congrats man. Nice video
This game got remade. That shows how good this game is.
Mega man abilities are amazing and the best thing is that he copying the bad guys weapons and uses it against them I didn’t know that
I oddly found this game to be quite easy. The bosses aside from the Yellow Devil and the Clone boss I found to be pretty easy. Granted, I used the pause cheat for the Devil, so I might come back to this one someday to beat it legitimately. Great game and great playthrough NintendoComplete!
I play this with the “rewind” feature and my god I have to do it 800 times per level. How tf anyone beat this back then is beyond me
Sniper Joe (1:14), Pickelman (4:50) and Big Eye (5:33) are a pain in the ass for new players like me.
cutt man was such a classic
Hell of a game right here!!
Classic series 😁🤗😁🤗
I was always able to beat the six robot masters, but after that, I never got far.
Masterpiece. Shame about that box art though. 🤣
Mega man legacy collection 1 & 2 is now on Nintendo Switch
playing now 2020...its been 30 years...classic
Excellent video nes satisfaction. All the time when I play these type games I always held down the A button to jump with the B button😛 Just My Style. Always a pleasure going down nostalgic Avenue🤘
The first mega man game still kick ass today. 😀👍🎮
I love how you refill every weapon although you're too good for this game.
Happy birthday to the cutest robot ever ❤️ Happy birthday to Rockman ❤️
11:10 Do you think they took this song from Bon Jovi's "She Don't Know Me" song?
Yes you are right
Some says it seems like Faithfully by Journey
Sim eu tbm pensei a mesma coisa! Bom jovi first álbum!
Happy birthday MegaMan!🎉🎂🎊
How do you make a video recording the game on tv or pc screen
im from Indonesia,, this game, 35 years ago,, my fav ^^
It's nice to see an honest playthrough not using the pausing hack to beat the yellow devil easier
Lil bro: if you die its my turn.
Me: ok
Me:
Just found this game at a garage sale for 1$ with the sleeve, also picked up super tecmo bowl for 1$. This game Megaman 1 is expensive!
That's awesome. The price has really gone up over the years.
W
Boy does the cover art suck lol
I remember playing this freaking game for like 5 weeks before I realized you could use the other robots' weapons. My fault for beating Gutsman first I guess. :) EDIT: And then the Elecman board was boring and tedious and you were rewarded by gettin yer ass kicked :)
Thanks buddy my childhood memories I clear all chats
You make this look so easy.......Im playing it now and I really suck at it lol
Same XD
Bless save states. I'd still be on Wiley stage 1 otherwise
of all mega man series in nes i like first one's sound and music quality
That glitch was cool. I kind of wish you would have tried fighting it on the wrong screen though, since it appeared to be showing up. Would have been neat to see what happened.
IKR??
It always pretty mind-blowing to discover and trigger programing errors that were overlooked and leftover in-game, right??
Yeah, I worried about it glitching too hard and crashing. I didn't want to end the game there so I played it safe.
@@sammyyo461 yeah the first game was so hard for me (probably because I did the bosses out of order) but I just used the pause glitch to one shot everyone. :P
"When I was growing up and going to school, all
I really wanted to do was be an artist. I actually
got my first job at Capcom through my artistic skill
and it wasn't until Mega Man was done that I really
became interested in game development. When
I joined the Mega Man team his outline existed,
his basic pixel structure was done - kind of the
skeleton, if you will - but things like his final look,
as well as his jumping animation and so on, still had
to be completed. He existed as a single sprite; no
animations and no poses existed - they hadn't
been designed when I joined the team.
The first Mega Man had a team of six people, and we
did it in about four months. Which means that,
relatively speaking, there wasn't really that much of
an investment from the company. If it had not come
out, if it had been cancelled, it wouldn't have been
the end of the world. Maybe for the first two-thirds
of my career, I was operating under that sort of
style. Obviously there was pressure, but it was
a relatively free environment, because games
didn't take long to develop."
-- Keiji Inafune (game designer and graphic artist, Mega Man/Rockman - NES)
This game is just awesome
And thus the series mega man was born from this game
The very few positive things that came from this Covid pandemic, 1 being I had purchased a NES System, then purchased a Famicom Multicartridge, with 154 Nostalgic Nintendo Games, Megaman is by far the hardest game out of the Megaman series. Was this title projected to have a sequel, yet a whole series? I'm spending more time today working on these great NES games rather than the new stuff that's being launched. I guess it's a personal preference.
I played this game when I was in public school and my Aunt bought this when my parents scolded me on it. THANK HER for that. She had the money to afford it and I still have the fucking cart until this day. I was so happy to play it until my dad bought me Mega Man 2 later on after I made it to the fourth grade
I'm lost how or where do u get the 7th boss power M from if the is only 6 bosses? I have B.E.G.I.C.F & P no M?
Cut Man’s stage
I got this yesterday with the Legacy Collection for my 2Ds. And I didn't get to know that this was HARD AS HECK (For me. I bet when you guys play it, you make it look like a joke.) I'd die to the Big Eyes in Cut Man's stage, Always get hit and fall into the first pit at the beginning of Wily stage 2, I'd get stuck in Ice Man's stage with the disappearing blocks, I'd get knocked off the ladders by the Watchers in Elec Man's stage, I died a lot and I repeat A LOT of times to Copy Robot, to the Robo Masters all in once, and the stupid tracks in Wily stage 4 and Guts Man's stage. It was absolutely annoying. But I finally did it. Thank mother of God.
I remember playing this on Nintendo DS lite using 64 in 1 GBA multi cart, I beat all stages except that muscle guy because stage was hard af and having scared of heights.
I remembered when I first played it when it first came out 1987 Dec 13
