Played through on the "difficult" setting.

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 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...
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.
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.
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
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 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.
The music in this game is so nostalgic to me 🤣
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.
30:46 for the NES anthem.
4:58 for the Cory in the House anthem.
Song: Stage 9: Dr. Wiley (First Version)

23:34 for the midnight ravers.
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!
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…
This game completely changed my youth!! I was addicted to this game and the music is fantastic!
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!!
Its insane how powerful the Metal Blade is
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.
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.
One of my favorite games as a kid. Never got past the dragon. Just watching it now brought up memories of Nintendo frustration.
Beat this game so many times. Never gets old replaying it
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!
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!
Doing the Metal Man stage first made this game too easy, but still one of the best NES games.
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.
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
Loved playing this game as a kid. Definitely filled up a Saturday afternoon 😃👍🏻 great soundtrack too!
Me too😁
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
This game is turning 30 years old this December.
Ouch.
It's 33 years old now,Game On!!🎮📺🕹️
The music played after Mega Man beats the bosses was sampled from The Barkay's hit song, Holy Ghost.
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
I wore this game out as a kid in the 90s, awesome music too.
Among the best Title Screen BGMs on the NES... :)
Ah, those memories ... That was a pretty hard game back in the day. But addictive :)
This MegaMan series is just so much fun and cool! I've played all parts til the pc versions
50:42 these images and this music, it's beautiful
This is definitely the best MegaMan.
Gotta love that this is also on the NES Classic!!!
The very first Mega Man game I ever played back in 1991 and I loved the series ever since.
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.
30:46 The song you all love!
Dude you are right.!!! Bless you my friend.!
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.
Great now that Crash Man song will be stuck in my head for the next 6 days
one of the best games in history
Surprising really how big some of the sprites near the end of the game were for something of this era.
one of the best games on NES for sure
Bubble Man
Air Man
Quick Man
Heat Man
Wood Man
Metal Man
Flash Man
Crash Man
Dr.Wily
49:34 That looks like a new character!
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.
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
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.
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
One of the best Mega Man games of all time!!
The best!!!
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.
The game that introduced me to the Blue Bomber, and made me the passionate fan I am today.
I played this game on the NES at the Fitness Center in 2002.
50:29 Mega man dosen't even want to look at Dr. Wily, Damn XD
My very first issue of Nintendo Power was the MegaMan 2 cover. Had to get the game asap!
Love this game!!
All these years later, it’s still shocking how pathetically easy the robot masters are.
30:47 The best song in the whole mega man series!
So. Much. Nostalgia.
Joguei demais em 1996 aqui no 🇧🇷, good times.
God this brings back memories!
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.

Nice play 😃 I’m almost there maybe this week I’ll pass the game 👾😩
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
Bubble man stage has the best music
Mega Man 2 has a lot of improvement from the first game, and then most future Mega Man games use these features. The game is where Mega Man fights Doctor Wily and eight new Robot Masters that he created (Metal Man, Air Man, Bubble Man, Crash Man, Flash Man, Quick Man, Heat Man, and Wood Man, numbered 9-16 because there are 8 others before them in the first game). It’s where Mega Man uses these red devices with various function (before Mega has Rush). I believe that after MM2’s Robot Masters were created by Wily, they were born good and never wanted to listen to him, so he forced them to do his evil bidding by mind-controlling them, like he did to the first game’s RMs (ask Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot’s first book about it). After Mega Man defeated 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 game). 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).🙏 Wood Man is my favorite in MM2.
30:47 Now THIS is what I call a memorable NES song!
Damn, Megaman 2 was so good, am I right?
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.
Precision platforming on point

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

Ye i agree, i can at least have a fun time in most parts
@@Jackattack359 Yup.
you're good megaman 2 has an amazing soundtrack
Me and my dad love this game and also how do you record a video on NES
What a question.....
I NEVER could make it through Wily's castle first stage because I was too busy headbanging. I never was able to master headbanging while playing this game simultaneously. I did think of playing with NO sound but those beats were just TOO INTENSE to ignore. I couldn't play Mega Man 2 and deny myself those BEATS!
I always go with Metal Man first, then Bubble, Flash, Wood, Air, Crash, Heat, and do Quick last.
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!
Bubble Man, Air Man, Wood Man (I use Air Man's weapon on it), Crash Man (I use Wood Man 's weapon during the board and use Air Man's weapon on Crash Man), Flash Man (I use Crash Man's Crash Bombers on some walls), Heat Man (I use Crash Man's Crash Bombers on some walls and use Bubble Man's weapon on Heat Man), Metal Man and Quick Man (I'll use Flash Man's freeze in a section) in my order of play, when then the Dr Wiley event.
Hey, this wouldn’t be from the Switch version of Megaman Legacy Collection, would it?
JohnnyOTGS No, genuine NES hardware.
30:30 Dr. Wily can't drive for shit.
You doing a Mega Man marathon? Nice >:]
Seriously though, you aren't a Mega Man fan until you've played the first 3.
The end broke me!! I’m 43!!
43:33 is there any other way to beat this than that damage boost pixel perfect jump?
To this day i'm surprised nobody ever modded flash man to give him a creeper trenchcoat
one my favorite . the best music!
I've played it on the nes emulator on my phone but I gotten it for the to show my mega man fan life as being a true boy retro-bit portable and this time I get it for retron 1 av 8 bit console along with the mega man 2 game with it on April 1 and I'm a fan of the game now this will be epic
I can't hear Crash Man's theme without thinking of Corey in da house
I remember when I first beat this game.
One of the best of all-time. Still not as good as me playing though.
Lol
Best soundtrack ever. Plus you play a mean game
36:35
Are you kidding me?! My whole life I thought that the platforms themselves were coming apart, so you had less options for where to jump. Way to do it the hard way, me! lol
Best Game Ever ❤
