Mega Man 4 (Virtual Console) — About this game
This is the Virtual Console reissue’s NES game member. The directions below start at the game’s own title screen and use its original buttons. Host menus and restore points are separate features.
The New Mega Buster adds a choice between immediate shots and a stronger blast prepared while moving. Charging does not remove the need to learn enemy timing: sliding under an attack or saving a captured weapon for a boss can still be the better answer. Eight selectable stages lead through rain, machinery and other distinct hazards before the fortress campaign.
Rush returns as a springboard and, once unlocked, other vehicles. Hidden Wire and Balloon adaptors reward looking beyond the direct route, while Eddie sometimes brings a random supply. Cleared robot stages can be revisited without fighting their boss again, making a return trip useful for missed equipment. Record the password layout when offered; it is the original game’s restart system, rather than a promise to resume at any arbitrary point.
