Mega Man (NES) Playthrough- NintendoComplete 

Man... I'm 38, but still remember how hell hard was to done this game about 25 years ago... Very, very hard game.

Mega Man teaches me to use the right tool (or weapon) to get the job done. I never excelled at Mega Man, but I do enjoy seeing others tackle the difficulty. I had never seen the Dr. Wily stage in all its entirety until today. Knowing when to switch and use each change effectively really takes persistence, skill, and timing. Congrats to NintendoComplete for this playthrough of Mega Man.

cutman stage music got stuck in my head for 20+ years. to this day one of my favorite tracks

I got this for Xmas in 1988 and its one of the first NES games I ever finished. To this day it’s still my favorite.

This takes me back to my elementary school days. Everyone I knew was into this game back then. I will always love this game. All these years later and it's still just as good as it was then.

My big bro absolutely loved this game. He would play this for hours, while I help him finish it. I miss my big bro. We all miss those years when we were just little, carefree children 😭😭

Mega Man's winning combination of graphics, sound, and harshly difficult but fair gameplay make it a game that, while not as good as its direct sequels, deserves much recognition for its incredible achievements.

This game brings back happy childhood memories. One of the greatest games ever made.

I'll never forget how I reacquired this game, after I initially had it in the early to mid 90's, but foolishly sold it to a friend of mine not too long afterwords when I got sick of it, which I deeply regretted shortly after. I got it back from a kid I went to middle school with, who knew I was a huge Mega Man fan, and offered to sell the game to me for a very generous $5-$10 at the most, way back in 1998. Well the poor chap got kicked out of school the very same day he gave me the game (which I was going to pay him for the next day), and needless to say, got it for free as a result too! The best part about that was the kid didn't even like me, and vice-versa too! Whoever thought he would end up doing me one of the biggest favors of my life by some odd coincidence though!? (L.O.L.!)

41:11 the theme that becomes Mega Man 2

My favorite game when i was child😖 I used to play this game whole day even when my head and eyes had ache 😭 Missing my childhood.

So many days, nights, holidays etc. Playing this game. As soon as the music starts my nostalgia immediately kicks in.

Back when this game came out, the graphics were great. Mega Man was really well drawn for the time.

Wow the memories...... I'm 40 now would love go back in time in my old house playing this in the basement on the old school TV where I spent hours of my time.

WOO!! The game that started it all!! What a classic! My favorite Capcom series!! All these games are still fun to play, too.

80’s music-even in video games-is the best ever.

My favorite thing about mega man games is the music. I am in awe how effortlessly this person can play and enjoy themselves listen to capcom’s masterpieces.

Random thought in my head brought me here

The original classic of the series. I was in elementary in 1988. My best friend talked about this game non stop. We both spoke of video games and going through Nintendo power in after school, drawing and joking around and talking about mega man. That I ended up getting mega man 2 by my dad one afternoon. Took that shit to school to show it off even 😂. The game was my favorite game from NES. From there then on I got every mega man game that came out in its release date order either for birthday, Christmas or obsessing and driving my dad crazy to get it for me and would surprise me with it randomly when I arrived home with the game in my room form Sears or toys r us. Good times. Still recall getting the games as if it was last year, Sears upstairs had the Nintendo section which was like a gold mine whenever you saw that nintendo logo hanging over head in the distance through all the clothes rack. The games were all displayed in the locked glass cases surrounding the clerk and all around it was always packed with kids and their dads looking through the glass for their favorite or next title and waiting their turn for the clerk to come around to tend to you. It was like a bar and getting the bartenders attention You were lucky enough if you got the last game that was seen in display case. Sometimes a family would get it right before you. Nowadays you go to target or Walmart or whatever and the video game section is missing that magic from yesteryear. And at toys r us, was always awesome to get your copy of a NES game. It was exciting as shit. Going through the video game isle with hundreds of NES games box photos on the walk and under each box set was a plastic transparent index holder with the some ticket with game number and you would grab one and take it to the back where there was a window and a worker would take your ticket snd bring out the game and you pay up front. If there was no tickets left in the plastic index card holder, it meant the game was sold out. It crushed every boy im sure when they came to grab a ticket only to learn the game is not available and you keep coming back to store to see when the the tickets are stocked full under your games photo. Good times simple times that today’s generation won’t see or appreciate. Those were the days we really appreciated and worked for what we want and took care of it snd took nothing for granted! Mega man 1 was actually my last MM game I got after MM6. Only because I played it a ton of times at that friends house while I had the rest of the saga at home and didn’t feel the need to buy it until you never saw it available again during the 90’s as games were constantly turned over and taken out of stores…but when I got older and internet was born, ebay was discovered and I purchased mm1 finally for collector reason. Hated that I had that missing title.

The very first game I ever rented. Never could get past that damned Devil, but I've since beaten it multiple times. Mega Man blinking was utterly mind blowing back in the day, too.

A eternal classic for nes.

And so, a Legendary hero captured our hearts. Rock on Mega Man!

replaying this game now. Skill and memorization is more important than ever!

26:30 i remember when my big bro was smacked by my mom when he kept cursing when this yellow boss kept moving around😂

Iceman stage was the hardest one for me. I miss my childhood. 😢

For me this is pure Mega Man. I've been playing since 1987 and I still pick up and play to make sure I haven't lost "it." I routinely beat it without dying. No one cares anymore.

34:48 i love you can tell from their in game moments just how puzzled they are at what just happened

23:33 ALERT! Intruder infiltrated Dr. Willy’s ship is so freakin noisy

I preordered Mega Man 11 to support it’s success. Other people play the older games to get ready for the release.

This was an incredibly difficult game. You had to recognize the patterns of the bosses and of course the last stage was just bonkers.

My friends owned this game. So my brother and I would go to their house and play it. It took us several months to figure out the game had an order and pattern. Then once we discovered the Dr Wiley stages, we were hooked! We were super excited to finally figure it out and beat the game.

Played this on the Anniversary Collection... Sure was tough, but I made it to the very end! "Fight Mega Man! For everlasting peace!"

I was born in 1988 and this game is one of my favorites

I just bought this game on Nintendo eShop. I'd never played it before. But I fell in love with the story and the gameplay. I've never appreciated this saga before.

34:39 Wow that's a hell of a glitch right there o_o

I like this. Not a too-cool-for-school no damage playthrough (usually tool assisted), but an honest playthrough with little errors we all made back in the day. I never beat this one. I beat 2, 3, 4, and X, but never 1.

I bought Megaman Legacy Collection for the Switch and I'm now trying to put most (if not all) of the Megaman games on my channel. I have MM2 for now, hopefully I'll do the rest soon.

This game is tough as nails.

Never knew mega man would push the NES’s graphics to its limits

34:40 - Wow. Never seen someone kicked out of the boss room like that before. What a fluke. 😂

Had to turn the volume down in order to stay up till 5am playing this..🤣🤣

I love this game. We would play Mega Man into the next day arms were about to fall off.

I’m 41 y.o… nostalgia. Best game ever! Hello from Russia!❤

I oddly found this game to be quite easy. The bosses aside from the Yellow Devil and the Clone boss I found to be pretty easy. Granted, I used the pause cheat for the Devil, so I might come back to this one someday to beat it legitimately. Great game and great playthrough NintendoComplete!

Pausing/slow-mo during "one eye" boss made electricity hits more damaging (if i remember correctly)

I think it's about time I checked out the Mega Man franchise.

13:14 😢 that piece of equipment or weapon should have been explained to me when I was a child 😂❤

My favorite NES game. Mega Man rules!

I love mega 2 & 3, but when that bear hit for elecmans level I almost cried from nostalgia

I think people don’t talk about how hard this was.

This is the most difficult game of the franchise and the only one I have never beaten.

That glitch was cool. I kind of wish you would have tried fighting it on the wrong screen though, since it appeared to be showing up. Would have been neat to see what happened.

cutmans weapon destroys those rovers on ice mans world. but your mastery of those floating propeller platforms was outstanding!

11:10 Do you think they took this song from Bon Jovi's "She Don't Know Me" song?

Sniper Joe (1:14), Pickelman (4:50) and Big Eye (5:33) are a pain in the ass for new players like me.

You make this look so easy.......Im playing it now and I really suck at it lol

I play this with the “rewind” feature and my god I have to do it 800 times per level. How tf anyone beat this back then is beyond me

I'm 38 as well & absolutely love the Mega Man series, used to hum the soundtracks at the bus stop as a kid, but I don't think I have to stomach to ever play the original ever again lol. Hated it, but loved every single one after it.

"When I was growing up and going to school, all I really wanted to do was be an artist. I actually got my first job at Capcom through my artistic skill and it wasn't until Mega Man was done that I really became interested in game development. When I joined the Mega Man team his outline existed, his basic pixel structure was done - kind of the skeleton, if you will - but things like his final look, as well as his jumping animation and so on, still had to be completed. He existed as a single sprite; no animations and no poses existed - they hadn't been designed when I joined the team. The first Mega Man had a team of six people, and we did it in about four months. Which means that, relatively speaking, there wasn't really that much of an investment from the company. If it had not come out, if it had been cancelled, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. Maybe for the first two-thirds of my career, I was operating under that sort of style. Obviously there was pressure, but it was a relatively free environment, because games didn't take long to develop." -- Keiji Inafune (game designer and graphic artist, Mega Man/Rockman - NES)

Mega man abilities are amazing and the best thing is that he copying the bad guys weapons and uses it against them I didn’t know that

34:40 You have discovered a possible brand-new speedrunning glitch! I was able to replicate this, and the first time I did it, CWU-01P only had 4 bars of health and I quickly finished the boss due to only one form being able to appear. Every other time, however, my results were exactly the same, wth the boss having full health. I'm thinking a speedrunner should investigate this, and hopefully we can causethe boss to consistently start with only 4 bars of health. My theory is that certain frames in the game's engine cause the boss's energy to not completely fill up. I can post part of this video on Twitter. I was able to record 30 seconds from the Switch, but the starting point is right after Mega Man gets hit, and during the point he zips backwards. Let me know!

I remember playing this freaking game for like 5 weeks before I realized you could use the other robots' weapons. My fault for beating Gutsman first I guess. :) EDIT: And then the Elecman board was boring and tedious and you were rewarded by gettin yer ass kicked :)

Hands down mah favorite entry in the classic series!! I love the game's soundtrack, bosses, difficulty, and High Score counter!! It's so much fun to try and get or beat yer highest score before you get a Game Over!! > w

I got this yesterday with the Legacy Collection for my 2Ds. And I didn't get to know that this was HARD AS HECK (For me. I bet when you guys play it, you make it look like a joke.) I'd die to the Big Eyes in Cut Man's stage, Always get hit and fall into the first pit at the beginning of Wily stage 2, I'd get stuck in Ice Man's stage with the disappearing blocks, I'd get knocked off the ladders by the Watchers in Elec Man's stage, I died a lot and I repeat A LOT of times to Copy Robot, to the Robo Masters all in once, and the stupid tracks in Wily stage 4 and Guts Man's stage. It was absolutely annoying. But I finally did it. Thank mother of God.

I Love Mega Man ❤️

I was always able to beat the six robot masters, but after that, I never got far.

Just found this game at a garage sale for 1$ with the sleeve, also picked up super tecmo bowl for 1$. This game Megaman 1 is expensive!

I played this game when I was in public school and my Aunt bought this when my parents scolded me on it. THANK HER for that. She had the money to afford it and I still have the fucking cart until this day. I was so happy to play it until my dad bought me Mega Man 2 later on after I made it to the fourth grade

Lil bro: if you die its my turn. Me: ok Me:

Masterpiece. Shame about that box art though. 🤣

The very few positive things that came from this Covid pandemic, 1 being I had purchased a NES System, then purchased a Famicom Multicartridge, with 154 Nostalgic Nintendo Games, Megaman is by far the hardest game out of the Megaman series. Was this title projected to have a sequel, yet a whole series? I'm spending more time today working on these great NES games rather than the new stuff that's being launched. I guess it's a personal preference.

Mega man legacy collection 1 & 2 is now on Nintendo Switch

This video brings out some old memories.Ahh

Theme at 23:43 is my absolute favorite . Brings back so many good memories.

i still think this game had the best sound track of all MM games

cant believe, im playing this when i was 5

Underappreciated game, stands shoulder to shoulder with the NES sequels in my opinion.

I rented this game so much back in the day...

Surprisingly the last of the classic series I added to my collection, my friend gave me their cart of the game. That friend helped me acquire several games in the classic series for NES and the last 2 Gameboy titles, IV and V.

Back when Video Games loved to see you suffer 17:28 😂

Wow the big yellow Rock Monster boss seems so much more difficult and fast than in MM3...

It's always good to see someone do what appears impossible. Well done 👍

Happy birthday to the cutest robot ever ❤️ Happy birthday to Rockman ❤️

It's nice to see an honest playthrough not using the pausing hack to beat the yellow devil easier

Oh boy, we've been doing a lot of Mega Man these last few days! Must be MM11 hype- what're your thoughts on that?

cutt man was such a classic

Wish they would Make Megaman Powered up 2. MMPU1 where so fun, especially since I could play as the robot masters. Wish they would release the 1st one for PC also.

23:32 when I first reached this level I was playing at 3 am and the shit came blaring on and I jumped. I had to turn the the television before my parents woke up hehe.

The music of this game though... one of my favorites!!! Got a Playlist on pandora dedicated to it even.

I wanted this game so badly. I looked for it everywhere and never could find it.

I love how you refill every weapon although you're too good for this game.

That game came out on 1987. Dang, that’s 35 years ago. I never knew the Mega Man franchise was that old, and it all started with this tiny game. I only played Mega Man: Power Battle arcade game when I was a kid (I’m turning 28). Anyway, this game is where everything is started. Rock becoming Mega Man (Robot Master Number 1) when he wanted to fight Doctor Wily, who turned evil, and six Robot Masters (Cut Man, Guts Man, Ice Man, Bomb Man, Fire Man, and Ice Man, numbered 3-8) that he stole from Doctor Light and mind-controlled (eight in that silly handheld remake called Mega Man Powered Up in 2006, and these are Time Man and Oil Man). Wily is basically Mega Man’s own Doctor Eggman and Professor Poopypants from Captain Underpants. This game is where Mega Man does that blue energy beam that he uses as a platform. Boy, I want a remake that has the same graphics and bonus stuff as Mega Man 11, but with a bonus feature with Time Man and Oil Man, and dialogue, like the 2006 remake. And/or, a 3-D action-adventure remake/version that does all this, and the 3-D part would be like Kirby and the Forgotten Land in 2022 rather than Mega Man X7 (that game was weird).🙏 Oh, and Rock’s sister, Roll, is number 2. Guts Man is my favorite in MM1.

This game got remade. That shows how good this game is.

im from Indonesia,, this game, 35 years ago,, my fav ^^

"elecman" was supposed to be "electricman" due to space constraints

This game was insanely difficult

Happy birthday MegaMan!🎉🎂🎊

I'm 24 now .when I was a kid I always starting cutman .then direct to elec man and Iceman ..16 years ago .I already finish this game andnI can't imagine how this game hard when I was a kid
