“Whoa, the Neo Geo Pocket model of Mega Man Battle & Fighters simply hit the Swap eShop out of nowhere”
Considerably confusingly, it’s a Neo Geo Pocket Shade model of two video games in a single bundle
Mega Man Battle & Fighters is now obtainable on Swap is just not one thing I ever thought I might have the ability to say out loud. However given the large success of the platform, I suppose it shouldn’t shock me.
Due to a tip from a reader, it’s come to our consideration that the sport is now obtainable on the eShop for $7.99, with no fanfare and no official announcement from the writer or Nintendo’s weekly eShop drop. This version is definitely an “association” of two video games (Energy Battle and the sequel, Energy Fighters), within the type of a Neo Geo Pocket port. The gist of the “Energy” spinoffs: you are taking Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass (with Duo as a fourth choice within the sequel) in opposition to a gauntlet of boss enemies (robotic masters from the sequence, and a few endgame bosses), culminating in a showdown with Wily. There’s even a little bit of unique story concerned (maybe most famously, one ending with Bass serves as a tenuous hyperlink between the basic sequence and the Mega Man X timeline)!
In its full arcade type, it’s sort of like a “co-op” fighter of kinds, with restricted movesets, the power to amass talents from downed enemies, and an emphasis on closed area battles. Each video games span a number of generations, comprised of bosses from Mega Man 1-7.
Mega Man Battle & Fighters is a novel tackle the Mega Man method
Each of those “Energy” iterations have truly seen the sunshine of day by way of varied “collections” straight from Capcom, that are often ports of the arcade model. They even each arrived as soon as once more in digital type because of the Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium compilation, which simply launched a number of weeks in the past. However the Neo Geo Pocket Shade model with two video games in a single is just not fairly as broadly obtainable.
Curiously, it’s additionally revealed by SNK on Swap. As a fan, I like to recommend getting the arcade editions (together with by Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium) if in any respect doable.
