Mega Man 4 vs Mega Man V

For a year the city has been quiet, but a new robotic terror has gripped the streets! The scheming scientist Dr. Cossack has arrived with eight new metal maniacs who are bigger and badder than anything Dr. Wily dreamed of, leading to a cybernetic showdown in the Siberian citadel. Armed with the newly upgraded Mega Buster, Mega Man must run, jump, and dodge his way through mazes of metallic munchkins. Engage in action-packed platforming combat, defeat powerful robotic bosses, and acquire their unique weapons to conquer the final cataclysmic clash.

Mega Man V is the fifth and final game in the Game Boy version of the original Mega Man series, developed and published by Capcom. When a mysterious and powerful alien warrior named Terra defeats Mega Man's standard Buster, Dr. Light equips him with the new Mega Arm and introduces his robotic cat assistant, Tango. Unlike previous Game Boy entries, this title features entirely original bosses known as the Stardroids rather than recycled NES bosses. Players must collect P Chips to exchange for power-up items at Dr. Light's lab while battling across major cities conquered by space invaders.
