An absolutely stunning remaster of Mega Man World 5!
Reviewed By: ryvhr on 01 Jan 2023When I was little, there was going to be a color remaster of the Mega Man World games called Mega Man Mania. Here are the only known screenshots that exist from it: https://twitter.com/protodude/status/998633862795288577?lang=en
I always held out hope for it, for Mega Man World 5 specifically. It was the most unique of them, as the Stardroids are featured in no other game. Their weapons, their stages, themselves, everything is unique. The Mega Arm was also an incredibly fun addition.
Much to many people’s disappointment, it never came out. I was always left wondering what could’ve been.
This ROM hack is exactly that. An absolutely gorgeous remaster of the game I always looked forward to playing in full color. Best of all, it fixes some engine faults such as the slowdown.
It was so much fun to play through this in full color. For me, it was like living a childhood dream, playing the game that never came out.
If you liked the original, you will love this ROM hack. Absolutely nothing is changed in a negative way here. The ROM hack makes the game look wonderful, and leaves the core gameplay absolutely vanilla.
