Even in the normal day to day lexicon of our lives, we use an abundance of terms related to colors, hues and tones to describe emotions, situations, people, things…

Games are no different, and, in some cases, such as this, the color quite literally brings a whole new dimension of beauty to a game. We take this privilege of seeing colorful, vibrant games everywhere for granted, no matter the generation, but it is such a terrible shame when color isn’t there!

Mega Man World 5 (I personally refuse to go with Capcom’s lazy convention of just slapping roman numerals pointlessly to either mainline console releases or portable spinoffs, considering the confusion it can cause) is my favorite entry in the Gameboy’s subseries of Mega Man games for having a wholly original theme, great music and some cool boss designs in the Stardroids.

However, much like its portable brethren, it lacks proper color (SGB enhancement doesn’t count, let’s be honest here), and is thus rather flat presentation wise.

This, however, thanks to this wonderful patch, is no longer the case! a true labor of love that is indescribably well done and must simply be experienced to be believed. The coloring work is so well done that this game now looks well on par with the Blue Bomber’s NES entries, and then some.

Now that you took the time to read this rantastic and overlong review of mine, go ahead and grab the patch! you won’t be disappointed.
