Common Questions
Was this official or a ROM hack?
It is an English translation patch (v0.10) applied to the original, officially-released Japanese Neo Geo Pocket game, not a ROM hack. It uses the authentic gameplay ROM and just translates the Japanese text.
Do all Robot Masters have weaknesses?
Yes! The strategic heart of classic Mega Man games is here in this portable version. Defeating a boss, for example, grants its specific weapon, which will be highly effective against another specific boss in the roster, offering a significant advantage.
Is there a final boss after all the battles?
Yes, when you defeat the initial eight Robot Masters (presented differently), that signals you have proven your might and can face the final challenging boss and unlock the ending based on who the victor of your battle is, Rockman or Blues.
