Mega Man World 5 DX (Game Boy to Game Boy Color hack)

[PowerPanda]

Question, will you do the other 4 games? I saw a Mega Man Anniversary Collection cartridge for GBA, and I just immediately thought about this.

Mega Man World 1-4 are remixed content from the NES games. It makes sense that if you did only 1, you'd do 5, which has all original content.

World 1-4 don't get their dues. While yes, they contain mostly recycled concepts, they're completely original takes. For example, Crystal Man's stage from Megaman 5 on NES and Cryatal Man's stage from Megaman IV GameBoy are drastically different. A lot of GameBoy games were literally the NES game with less screen resolution, but not so with the Megaman titles.

Indeed! I always thought that it would make for a good series of hacks for RMW 1-4 to just change the Robot Masters' graphics for entirely new ones using the various unused designs from complete works as inspiration.

The GB versions of 1-4 recycle graphics, music and bosses of the NES games. However, the level layouts seem to be almost entirely unique and original from what I can tell. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong about that.

Is this still expected to release before Christmas?

And is it for this reason Dr. Light looks like Santa Claus? No, I'm joking
