- A playthrough of Capcom's 1993 platformer for the Nintendo Game Boy, Mega Man IV.
Wow, Capcom really brought their A game to this one. Mega Man III was a fantastic recovery effort after the disappointing second entry, and this one tops it in just about every way. It's just hard enough without being frustrating, the attention to detail is outstanding, and the music could pass as NES music it's done so well - especially those brand new tracks near the end of the game. I really love the cutscenes as well - I think those might actually put this one above the NES games for its presentation, color be damned!
Mega Man IV is a fantastic game - I'd recommend it to anyone who had even a passing interest in the series.
*Side note: if you get four game overs on a stage, Dr. Light will interrupt upon continuing and give you an apparently powered-up mega buster. I don't notice any difference in the power, but still a neat little bonus. You'll see me die and get a game over at Toad Man's stage, but you'll only see that screen once - I cut the other continues out. Nobody really wanted to see me run to the nearest pit over and over through three continues, did they? :)
*Recorded using the DMG shader in Retroarch for that crunchy retro look.

Mega Man IV is one of the superstars of the Game Boy library - it's made so well that, if not for the lack of color, you'd never know it was a Game Boy game.
NintendoComplete, this game is pretty good!
Pretty Much every good thing I said about Mega Man III, applies here.
Nuff Said!
Dorian Scott Are the Game boy games Canon to the mega man timeline?
Once we got past Mega Man II on Game Boy, things started looking up. I'm thankful I have all 5 GB titles, I still like 2 GB, warts and all.
My favourite Megaman game!
The Mega Man World games on Game Boy were usually well done for some of the original Game Boy's limits, and also giving some original content like the Mega Man Killers as well as what 5 did with the Stardroids for example.
This encounter with Wily is one of the most epic in the series I've seen yet! I don't know what it is about the way it was presented with the music and everything, but the final battle with Ballade and Dr. Wily in his freaking *WARSHIP in SPACE* and Wily's *GIANT MECH* was really a step above anything that you see in the NES games, even! It was all just so epic, it's one of my favorite final fights in the entire series. And this was done on *GAME BOY,* no less!! This game is awesome. RIP Ballade! Your noble sacrifice was not in vein. See you, Ballade, in the inexplicable DLC cameo boss fight in Mega Man 10! XD
Good lord that Intro music kicks me right in the Nostalgia! Thanks so much for letting that play and not just pressing start to skip it. They absolutely killed it with this game from the music to the cutscenes to the stages. The Gameboy had one helluva Sound Chip for it's time and they really outdid themselves with this title. This will always one of my favorite Gameboy games of all time. Now I have to go see if anyone has done a color hack of it :)
It's really interesting to me how each of the GB entries has bits from the game of the same name, plus the next one in the series. And I like how the stages are similar to their NES counterparts, but different enough to be interesting. It's almost like a what-if scenario. Like, what if Mega Man went a different route through this area? Pretty cool.
this is why game boy ports will always be superior to switch ports
None of these titles were ports.
Well, in Mega Man canon, the Mega Man World series on Game Boy is set at different points in the franchise between some of the base games they take elements from while V is set between main game 5 and 6.
Wow, I’ve been watching the GB and NES play throughs from 1- 5 on both systems and this game looks and feels like they put their heart into this product. Everything about it feels right.
The game that introduced me to the Mega Man universe when I was 5... It was brutal.
Amazing game. My brother had it for game boy and I used to play it on road trips when my family went on vacation. The soundtrack alone was killer. Ended up rebuying it on my 3Ds.
I completely agree, Mega Man 4 is the NES Mega Man 2 of the Gameboy titles. It's freaking superb. And man, that intro music & cutscene is my favorite in the entire series, for all systems. Playing this after Mega Man 2 GB makes you realize how far they came when it came to the Gameboy titles.
Well, Mega Man II GB was made by a different outsourced developer who had no idea what Mega Man was. Minakuchi Engineering did 1,3,4, and 5. All four of them play VERY consistently with each other, but in comparison to 1, 3 was the first one where they really started figuring out the system. Particularly in the sound department.
The buster upgrade makes it much faster.
And stronger
And... wait, that covers it.
How many times must you die for that to happen?
Oh, and I've finally put together a playlist of all of my Mega Man playthroughs. If you're interested, check it out! th-cam.com/play/PL3gSj_kh1fHv_byjbzySGOUL9OBLnrQcP.html
Probably this and MMWV are my favorite Mega Man games.
I just wane go back
back to 1999... life no stressful even doesn't have money back thn...
living wht the life so wonderful....
i miss my gameboy....😭😭😭😭😭
Uh, what? Was that English?
@@skins4thewin
Is a simple language 😅😅😅😅😅
Crystal Man's Stage is incredibly difficult and incredibly long
Playing it without Rush jet is even more difficult
@@Jrob129 yes true
The best stages are the challenging ones
I actually wish you had let the music for the stage select play for a lil bit cus it's also dope as hell.
Awesome game. Awesome thumbnail.
3:45 is actually the best spot in the entire game to grind P Chips very early on. You can just run back and forth and those birds will continue to spawn and will drop loads of P Chips each time. You can get the timing down good where one charged shot will rip thru them all each time. There are also some hidden P Chip pickups later in the stage hidden behind the waterfall in the one part where you can walk behind it.
Also, in Pharaoh Man's stage at the very beginning, there is stuff hidden under the ledges that sit just above the sand. If you let yourself sink into the sand and go up under those ledges you'll collect the hidden items. I can't remember if it's an extra life or P Chip pickup but there is stuff hidden under one or two of those ledges.
Adding the "Dr. Bright Lab." was a great feature. I remember re-playing the Toad stage a lot (because it was the easiest one) to farm these chips for Dr. Bright. Revisiting old stages to collect all B-E-A-T letters in case you missed them and then get this little bird was also a nice idea. And the music...ah this was one of my fav gameboy games.
I consider myself lucky to have all the classic series Mega Man games on Gameboy, yes Mega Man V included. A friend helped set me up for 4 and 5, the first 3 I got on my own locally.
Are they complete?
@@Justchev No, all are loose carts, IV and V boxed would've cost way too much. So long as I can play them, I am satisfied.
@@Bloodreign1 o forsure I was just curious thanx for the reply.
@@Justchev No problem.
aww brings back good memories when I was 9. I remember that when you get attack by an opponent, there is a 3 second lag time where you won't die on the spikes, I used that trick quite often :).
No argument here, this is the peak of the Game Boy Mega Man games, though MMV is a very very close second. While Capcom still stuck with the template from the previous three titles, it started to add some original ideas such as the shop.
IMO V was the peak, for once the robot masters weren't from the NES games, but were all new.
@@Bloodreign1 You can't accurately call Mega Man World 5 a game with Robot Masters.
@@bubbykins4864 The Stardroids are basically Robot Masters dude. It's called Mega Man for a reason.
@@zachatck64 They are only identical in the function of being a mechanical boss that gives you a new weapon.
@@bubbykins4864
They have a set pattern you can learn to dodge
They have a specific weakness
They have stages to get through to get to them
They give you their weapon when defeated
They are robot masters, the only difference is they weren't built by Wily and are named after planets
Might be late but I consider this to be the best of the five Mega Man World games. Also the one that has the best Wily stages theme in possibly the whole series (well... maybe besides Wily Stage 2 from MM7).
And to think I slept on this series all the way until 2023.
It's about time someone made gameboy of it facing a gameboy instead of a black and white screen.
It's actually not a real Game Boy. Sure looks like it though, right? I must be doing it right if people can't tell :D The effect is being done with shaders in Retroarch. There are all sorts of powerful graphics processing options the program provides.
If you like it, check out my Handhelds playlist. Most of my Game Boy and Game Gear recordings have been done like this!
An man. I thought this was real. But just telling you now there is no footage of anyone recording these mega man games while there playing the gameboy
poptropica bob I've got the first 4 done like this. The 5th I did with Super Gameboy. It would be virtually impossible to get a good real recording I think. Focusing would be a nightmare because you have to hold the system and it would move. And good luck getting decent lighting.
26:15 Begin
Apparently this track is so awesome, it's not allowed to be posted on TH-cam with any ost sets... 😑
Remember my old gbc as a kid had oracle of ages and this game for it (others too) but even to this day I still play them, this and megaman x1-3 are why megaman is my 2nd fav game series
57:15. Is Wily ever gonna give up? Not only he had a Castle as usual and had it destroyed by Mega Man, but this time he escaped to freaking space to his secret Space Ship as last resort. I love that cutscene, and reminder that this was done on a GAME BOY, of all systems. Graphically impressive if you ask me.
Megaman V - (Gameboy) 😍

NintendoComplete thanks you 👍

This game is really well made. It’s much better than I, II, and III. It’s almost as good as MMV.
First game I ever bought. Ahh the memories..
I find that the literal order that the first four bosses appear in this game is actually the proper order to play them in. I can't recall about the 2nd set of four, but holy hell is the cutscene between the first and 2nd four bosses so freaking dope! I can also say that the Toad Man stage is the perfect stage to farm P chips as there are a ton of them hidden in spots, and the swooping bird guys drop lots of them too! You can get enough to buy everything just from farming the swooping little birds at the beginning of that stage!
Excellent presentation !!💎👏💖🌟
Weakness for the second set of robot masters for this version -
Napalm Man is weak to Pharaoh Shot - Napalm is made of sticky flammable material in which a single flame can set it on fire. In his case, his napalm bombs can prematurely explode.
Charge Man with Rain Flush - He's an industrial revolution, steam powered locomotive which he's powered by coal. The water will render it useless.
Crystal Man with Charge Kick - Hitting the glass ball using a powerful force like kicks will shatter it into tiny pieces.
Man I wish the Analogue NT Mini had filters like this... playing this game right now on my NT Mini and it just doesn't look as nice as this filter here. This looks so much like the original Gameboy screen it's uncanny!
so this is what the game feels like without opening the virtual console menu every 2 seconds to save...
You can do it without saves, just try and try again
@@The_Uberfly yeah I can do that now, I commented this when I was first playing and I was so bad at it
I fucking love that screen filter you're using there. It's uncanny how realistic it looks compared to a real Gameboy. I hear the GBA Consolizer has a similar one. Got mine preordered, can't freaking wait to get it in!
Mega Man Is At It Again In MEGA MAN 4 For Your Nintendo Game Boy From Capcom!
While the NES games were free with health item drops, the GB versions are extremely stingy with them, but there are plenty of weapon refill item drops available.
I mis my elementary life. Game boy black and white. Binili ni mama ko sakin❤️❤️❤️
What emulator is this? I love how accurately it portrays the "pixelated pea-soup" look of the original Game Boy!
Now that the GB family is available on Switch Online, hopefully, they'll bring us the GB Mega Man games and the Xtreme games, too.
Partial wish granted: the Game Boy Mega Man games are now on Nintendo Switch, along with the Mega Man Worlds games.
33:18 Once a robot whose head was a train, was afraid of a few drops of rain.
Dude!!!! How did you record this!?
Off an emulator
Megaman beat ballade in battle, but ballade beat Megaman with guts
Just went back and beat the game after many long years, was just as fun as I remember it being from my childhood. I will say that the game is fairly easy compared to other Mega Man games, however Crystal Man's stage can be pretty brutal your first time through it til you figure out how to get through. It's by far the longest and toughest stage in the game, and even it isn't that bad. The rest of the game is pretty easy to be honest, and the Charged up Mega Buster is pretty overpowered and is really all you need to beat any of the bosses. I also noticed that there are no credits at all at the end of the game which is rather bizarre. There's just a Boss Roll showing all the bosses in the game and a thank you for playing screen at the end.
New things of the game
Guts hover: a platform enemy that funktiins with weight
Move hover: like the guts hover but this move with buster shots
Press'n: a robot based on the wily machine of megaman world 3
Unnamed mid boss: a giant version of the metall cannon
Unnamed satellite gun: it's the first boss of the wily statiin
Ballade: the last of the megaman killer series and the most cooler of all
"Unnamed battleship boss": this system use weapons from other bosses
Hunter: the most weird of the suzy robots
Wily robo irom golem: a giant mech that replace the classical wily machine
Wily capsule?: this is the final boss it's a wily capsule or a updated wily UFO
Epic!!!
Acho lindo essa tela monocromática como no verdadeiro GameBoy! Amazing.!
01:08:29 Oops!
1:18:22-38 -😱WHOA!! "Starship Troopers" style, if any y'all asked me truly personally.
45:43 Windows?
*Better than The Nintendo switch*
No shit! This game is timeless. *Game Boy* forever! ^^
Of course not lmao what the fuck is wrong with you
That’s on Capcom. Though if it was done, I’m hoping it’s ANYONE BUT Digital Eclipse, though I got the weird feeling it will be them if it came to it.
Well what do you know? Mega Man World 4 is now a playable title on NSO.
57:38-44 -😯"Star Wars saga", eat your ❤out.😦
1:14:37 Mustache
Am I the only one wondering how they make the games look like this? It looks like an emulator
The description mentions using a particular shader in Retroarch
Do that's a nice "!mm4" xd
Great game. Too bad it has so many slow downs. I suck at this game though. 😅
N O S T A L G I A ❤️
2:06
1:13:24 -😦MMPR Megazord, Ultraman, & Godzilla: eat all your ❤s each other's out!😨
45:43
cool
The easiest boss in this game is Toad Man and Napalm Man
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Bahr! It's no use! It's just this one with an ugly filter.
Lol, Windows notif pop-up sound @45-46 minute marks!
