Mega Man fans far and wide rejoice, because Capcom has heard your calls and has brought the Blue Bomber to Nintendo Switch Online! No, I’m not talking about the Nintendo Entertainment System classics, nor the X series on the Super NES, but rather Mega Man on the Game Boy. That’s right, all five of the classic monochromatic adventures are available right now to all subscribers of Nintendo’s online service. That’s exciting news, but are any of these games actually worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. I sure hope you’re a fan of formulas, because that’s what we’re getting in this Mega Man-centric episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
