Mega Man beat em up type game   tornadocam
Capcom has given us two great iconic series Mega Man and Street Fighter. Both of these series are ranked pretty high among gamers. Mega Man is often ranked in the top 5 of video game icons. Street Fighter is not far behind. What would happen if the Mega Man series adopted a beat em up street fighter gimmick? Well that is what Mega Man Power Battle is. Here the Mega Man series plays like a street fighter game. 

Story: 6 

The main plot is Dr. Wily has sent some of his past robot masters out to create havoc once again. Mega Man and Proto Man head out to stop Wily's latest rampage. Bass, also sets out to prove to Wily and the world he is the most powerful robot. The player can chose three paths with different sub-plots. The first sub plot the player fights Robot Masters from Mega Man I and 2. The second the player or players fight Robot Masters from Mega Man 3-6. The third Sub-plot the players fight Robot Masters from Mega Man 7. Power Battle can be played with one or a two player system. In addition, players can choose from Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass. I like the idea of having a street fighter like theme. I think that was creative and offers something different for the Mega Man franchise. However, it seems like something is missing. The plot it is not clear if this is a tournament or not. If it is then why Did Wily get involve. Mega Man 6's plot would have made sense here. It just seems like something is missing. Also this is a fighting game so fighting games are not known for their plots. I give the plot a 6 out of 10. Graphics and Controls: 9 The graphics are very good for this type of game. I like the backgrounds in all of the fights. I also like how the graphics change to include Robot Masters depending on which path you take. That was a very nice touch. The sprites are also amazing. This game had a lot of good graphics going for it. The only problem is sometimes when switching weapons it seems to slow the game down a little bit. However, this is a minor problem and really does not have effect on your character. The controls are pretty good for a fighting type game. The controls remind me of Street Fighter. I'm not surprised considering Capcom made Mega Man and Street Fighter games. Mega Man and Proto Man have very good controls. Bass's controls can sometimes feel sluggish so that brings the rating down a little bit. Overall, this game has very good controls. Sound: 8 The sounds in this game are very good. Shots from your character or the Robot Masters make a pow sound to let you know their shots hit. That is a nice touch. Also the game uses past music from Mega Man 1-7. Some of those games had some of the best music. So I was glad to see they picked from the best. The voice saying Win or Loose is a nice touch though that could have been done a little it better. I think it would have been awesome if they used the Street Fighter II voice in this one since that is what this game is based off of. While the music is very good, sometimes it seems like the other sounds tune the music out. At first I thought it might be the emulator. But I played the original game and got the same results. Still the sound is good and I give it an 8 out of 10. Replay Value When I first got this game I thought it had a unique theme. I really liked what Capcom was trying to do here by basing this off of Street Fighter. I played this game quite a bit when I first got it. Mainly, because it was something different and unique. I still find myself playing this when I want to play a Mega Man game that offers something new and different. Therefore, I give the rating a good 8 out of 10. The game is pretty good. Depth: 6

Most people do not think of fighting games having a high amount of depth to them. Most of the time that is the case. However, Power Battle does have some depth to it. First of all, you can chose 3 different paths with different Robot Masters. That adds to the replay value and depth as it makes you want to play a different path with a new game. Second, you can chose from 3 different characters: Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass. So it is fun to play through the game with a different character. The thing that hurts the depth is unlike regular Mega Man games there are not stages here. The reason being is this is a fighting game so stages were not needed. Still for this to be a fighting game it does offer decent depth to it. I give it a 6 out of 10. Difficulty: 7 Since this is a fighting game the difficulty was hard for me to rate. This game can challenge you as some of the Robot Masters will just beat you up. Also some of the weapons have little amount of ammo so you better use them wisely in battles. Also your character can either make the game easier or more difficult. Now here is where the game is difficult to rate. Unlike other Mega Man games if you die you have to start over again. Here when you die you have a timer countdown. If you press the buttons before the timer reaches 0 your character will be back with full health and can continue to fight in the battle. Again, that is how most fighting games are. So do not worry about dying in this game. At the end of the day I came up with a difficulty rating of 7. The bosses being powerful, limited ammo, and the characters making the game easier or harder adds to the difficulty. On the other hand considering you can't really die unless you let the timer reach 0 takes away the difficulty. So while the game can be challenging it is nothing that is going to make you get frustrated. It is also not a piece of cake either. 

Overall Rating 8.3 

Power Battle Came out I want to think around 1996 maybe. However, most gamers in America did not get to play this game until it was released on the Mega Man Anniversary collection for Play Station II. There is not a difference between the 1996 version and the one included in the Anniversary Collection. This game had some good points to it and a few minor issues. I will start with the positives. 

First of all, I like what it seemed Capcom was trying to do here. It is obvious they took Street Fighters theme and used it in a Mega Man game. It was like Capcom was trying to cross their two iconic franchises. I personally think they did a good job of it. I also like the beat em up type game. To me it offers something new and unique to the Mega Man games. I also like how the graphics are in this game. Having the different backgrounds was a nice touch. I also like how Robot Masters make appearances in the different stages. In addition, getting to chose different paths and different characters adds to the depth to this game. 

Now for the negatives, again these are very minor. I really think something was missing in the plot. I like the idea but I think they could have gone into more detail. For example, they could have had Dr. Wily organize a tournament to take over the world, or to make money. The potential is limited. It seemed like they could have taken Mega Man 6's plot and applied it to this type of game. So it just seems like the plot is missing something. Also when playing as Bass beware of the controls being either too fast or too slow. This can get you hit. Its not as bad as some of the other games I have played, but  it is noticeable. Also, even though this is a fighting game and stages where not needed. It kind of feels funny without any stages. I guess playing regular Mega Man games will do that to you. 

Overall, I give Power Battle a solid 8.4. The game is pretty good and very fun to play. The issues with this game are very minor and most people will not be bothered by them. I really like the idea of a beat em up fighting type game like Street Fighter. This is a game that is fun for the entire family and anyone should be able to play. The difficulty while it can be tricky at times is not brutal at all. This would be a great game to introduce new gamers too. So would I recommend this game. Yes I would recommend this game its very fun, and unique. It is also family friendly so its a game you could let your children play. Anyway have fun discovering and playing this game. 

Also Blessings in Christ. Until next time.

It's Megaman!   RudraStrife
"REDONE"Megaman: The Power Battle is a fun and classic arcade game found in many arcades and is incredible fun. This game allows you and one other person to play as Megaman, Bass, or my personal favorite Protoman and battle a mixture of Robot Masters from the 1st game to the 7th game. You have 3 different choices of how you can fight the robot masters, the 1st one is fighting a mixture of Robot Masters from Megaman 1-2. The 2nd option is to fight robot masters from megaman 3-6 and the last option to fight the robot masters from Megaman 7. The game play is pretty basic, pick your character and fight the robot masters, keep fighting till you defeat Willy. The sound is everything you want from megaman same music from the games before but slightly upgraded for the arcade. The controls are very smooth  and respond very well in what you want them to do. There is a story but not really the main point to this game as I see it and there is not much to the game besides defeat the robot masters and defeat Dr.Willy. This game is really addictive though despite how short the game actually is but I find myself playing for hours trying to find way to defeat them faster and trying to see if I can make it through without dying or getting hit. This is a game that anyone can pick up and play it is really not hard especially when you have a friend with you but it will be very enjoyable for all. So overall it is not the best megaman game out there but it is defiantly one of the most funniest to play. The verdict is Megaman: The Power Battle gets a 8.5 out of 10.

Mega Man: The Power Battle Review - Heavy Metal Gamer Show   HeavyMetalGamer
Mega Man: The Power Battle is an interesting take on the Mega Man series. It's not your normal 2D platformer where you go through levels. It's actually based on the boss fight. Some consider this to be a fighting game, which really you are not using your fists or feet, but you are shooting at the other robot masters. Mega Man: The Power Battle was developed and published by Capcom, and was released in Japan in 1995. It was released originally in the arcade. Dr. Wily has rebuilt some of his robot masters and is looking to take over the world. You can play as either Mega Man, Proto Man and Bass, and you are trying to stop Dr. Wily. After you select your character, you can choose between three stories, they are actually based on the first 7 Mega Man games, which is pretty cool. The first story is 1-2, 3-6, and of course 7. Now it's not every robot master from those games, it's certain ones, and I really like that, although having all of them would of been cool, and make for a challenge. Once you choose what story you want to do, you get a roulette wheel style wheel and when you hit a button it will stop on whatever level you will go to. While in a fight, you can shoot the normal way, or hold down the shoot button and give the enemy a charge blast. Once you defeat that robot master, you can use their powers against other enemies, which is also cool. Just like in the past Mega Man games, certain power ups will do more damage then others, so you have to choose wisely. Not only that, you can do dashing, jumping, and so on. Now when it comes to difficulty, I think this game is easier then the classic Mega Man series. Especially the boss battles, it didn't take me very long to get through the first story of the game, and most of the second story. Granted I was playing this on MAME, but I didn't use many credits. I think I died once just on the first story. The graphics for Mega Man: The Power Battle look great, the animations are very well done, the sprites are bigger then the old Mega Man games on the NES, which is expected, especially for an arcade game in the mid 90's, the game runs very smooth, the animations on each stage is cool, the game is colorful and the backgrounds look very nice. There is no glitching, slowdowns or anything like that, which is a huge plus. The music is very well done. It's well composed, and kicks a lot of ass. It's very well composed and it fits a Mega Man game, it's not some sloppy, thrown together mess. Then again, back around this time, Mega Man was treated very well by Capcom, and of course they put effort into their games. The soundtrack was allowed to be purchased in Japan back in the mid 90's, which is pretty cool, although I am willing to bet it was a bit expensive. The sound effects are well done, from the fighting, the blaster noises, and even Mega Man and the robot masters make noises here and there, which is pretty cool. The controls are great, moving around is easy, jumping and attacking is very easy, they respond well, and playing this on MAME with a PlayStation 3 controller so it's easier then using a keyboard and it is nothing I can complain about. Mega Man: The Power Battle is a blast to play, I enjoy it a lot, the gameplay is fun, the graphics are nice, the music and sound effects are very well done, and the controls are good. Really not much for flaws, other then a few small things here and there. I did mention earlier how I wish all robots from Mega Man 1-7 were in this game, that would of been awesome. I do have to say that this game is easier then the regular Mega Man series, which nothing against those games, but I am horrible at them. I still find them to be classics though. If you like fighting games, and you like Mega Man, give this game a try, I think you will enjoy it. There is a few ways you can play Mega Man: The Power Battle, for one you can play it on MAME, and I am pretty sure you can play it here at Vizzed in the emulator section. Another way is through the Mega Man Anniversary Collection on the PlayStation 2, XBOX, and GameCube. It was a unlockable in that collection. Not only that, this game was ported to the Neo Geo Pocket Color along with the sequel, Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. I would love to see a new Mega Man game like this, especially if they took all the bots from 1-10, and then maybe do one based off the X series, that would be really awesome, but the chances of that happening is close to zero, because we all know how Capcom treats Mega Man these days, and it's really sad. I wish they would do something other then overpriced compilations, ports to mobile, and stupid things that don't matter when Mega Man fans want a new game. I did do a video review of this game, so if you want to check that out, you can below:[youtube]vTsZEpm_efw[/youtube]
