Mega Man Battle & Fighters is a combination of two games that originally released in Japanese arcades but also found their way onto the NEOGEOPOCKET COLOR back in 2000. These two games have never stepped foot outside of Japan, so this marks the first time westerners can purchase the games on their local eShops. Jason Capp is here with the review!
CCG writes - "Mega Man Battle & Fighters is a Switch port of the remarkable port of classic Arcade titles to a tiny handheld console, the Neo Geo Pocket. I love that this classic game is available in the West for the first time. It's just a shame that they didn't bother to localize it at all. It feels lazy, though to be fair, I understand why - it wasn't just about the text, but then they would have to somehow insert that newly translated text into a twenty-three-year-old game, which is no small task. So while I can't unconditionally recommend this one, if you are a Mega Man fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, even if much of the game's text is unreadable to English speakers."
Mega Man Battle & Fighters features two titles arranged for the NEOGEO Pocket Color: Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.
"Mega Man Battle & Fighters is a highly entertaining portable interpretation of 2 arcade treasures that are themselves nifty compilations of classic Mega Man boss fights. So, if you're a fan of the Blue Bomber then definitely play this." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
