Nintendo Switch Online Adds Five Game Boy Mega Man Titles

With Mega Man’s strong presence on classic Nintendo consoles, fans were disappointed to only see Mega Man: The Wily Wars available on the Nintendo Switch Online libraries – and for Sega Genesis. However, this disappointment has been somewhat remedied with the addition of five Game Boy titles featuring the Blue Bomber.

Game Boy Titles Available:

• Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge
• Mega Man II
• Mega Man III
• Mega Man IV
• Mega Man V

Unlike the NES counterparts, the Game Boy series of Mega Man games are not just simple ports. They are original games with their own unique plots, levels, and bosses, distinguished by the use of Roman numerals in their titles. Think of them as Mega Man’s version of the Super Mario Land series, incorporating mechanics and enemies from the NES entries. While they may not be the original NES games fans were expecting, it’s still exciting to have these lesser-known Game Boy titles available on modern hardware.
