A love letter to Mega Man fans, Powered Up is simply terrific old-school entertainment
Words: Benjamin Turner, GamesRadar US
Mega Man Powered Up lives up to its name. Radically revamped graphics, a new adventure, an old adventure, unlimited challenge, and the amazing Construction mode add up to one very compelling package. Being a remake of the first game, the gameplay and design do feel a bit less sophisticated and refined than that of MM2 or MM3, but the many upgrades make that gap seem smaller than ever before. That said, if a remake of the first Mega Man can turn out this hot, then Capcom, please, we're beggin' ya: get to work on Mega Man 2 Powered Up!
