Mega Man: The Sequel Wars (Mega Man 4-6 Remakes)

[MegaMan52 | 2,440]

Didn't see this posted anywhere, so here I am. If this should be in the New Releases subforum in The Gauntlet, by all means move it there.

This is Mega Man: The Sequel Wars, a Homebrew for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive by Woodfrog that contains remakes of Mega Man 4, 5, and 6. It has updated graphics and audio like Mega Man: The Wily Wars. Protoman and Roll are playable. It has an option to play Wily Wars style versions of the music, and an option for modern versions. Some of the music is new. It has options to change the difficulty, controller configuration, and turning the new visual effects on or off. When you get a weapon or adapter, you can test them out before getting back to the game like in Mega Man 11.

"Episode Red", which contains a full remake of Mega Man 4, was recently released. I've been playing it on my GameCube via Action Replay, SD Card, and Genesis Plus GX Emulator. It runs smoothly for the most part, and the controls are responsive (I used the Wavebird). My GameCube is hooked up to a Sound Bar and Subwoofer, and the modern version of the soundtrack packs quite a punch.

Also, apparently the game works on a real Sega Genesis.

This looks great, and the fact it's an actual Genesis homebrew is awesome.  I'll probably load it on Everdrive later and see if it'll run on my Genesis. Thanks for the heads up!

I hope this remix is included in the Mega Man 5 remake's modern soundtrack. The fact that it's included in Woodfrog's Mega Man: The Sequel Wars OST playlist could be a hint.

"Episode Blue", which contains a full remake of Mega Man 5, has been announced. Here's a teaser trailer.
