This is a bizarre addition to Nintendo Switch’s Sega Genesis collection. Essentially a remake of Mega Man 1 – 3 only with a new story loosely tying the games together it’s a really interesting part of the Mega Man history.

Plus, beating the three Mega Man games on one save file unlocks a series of stages called Wily’s Tower where you face off against Robot Masters based off characters from the famous Chinese novel “Journey to the West” which…alright.

Sadly, Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune worked on this game and as he’s an absolute sadist that hates fun, he made sure there were no cheat codes that make the game easier.

But, if you’re playing these games for the first time, a huge thing that can help you win against the power Robot Masters is knowing their weakness so, instead of codes, we’re going to bring up the weaknesses of all the bosses. Enjoy.


Mega Man 1

  • Bomb Man – Mega Buster but also weak to Fire Storm (from Fire Man)
  • Guts Man -Hyper Bombs (from Bomb Man)
  • Cut Man – Super Arm (from Guts Man) to throw cubes at him and then Mega Buster for the rest
  • Elec Man – Rolling Cutter (from Cut Man)
  • Ice Man – Thunder Beam (from Elec Man) (you thought it would be Fire Storm didn’t you?)
  • Fire Man – Ice Slasher (from Ice Man)
