Mega Man IV (Game Boy) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
522A 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.
