Mega Man Powered Up, known in Japan as Rockman Rockman (ロックマン ロックマン), is a remake of the first Mega Man game, developed by Capcom and released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006. The game is also cross-playable on the PlayStation Vita via PSN Download.
This remake features gameplay and story similar to the original Mega Man, though with major script differences, two new Robot Masters, and redone graphics and soundtrack featuring a chibi style that was intended for the first game.[1] It also features eleven playable characters, including Mega Man(Which one?) and all ten of his siblings.
Story
In the year 20XX, humans and robots live together peacefully. In the research lab of the world’s top scientist, Dr. Thomas Light, a robot is born. This robot, modeled after a boy, possessing a strong sense of justice, acting kind to anyone and everyone, never forgetting to be polite and respectful, is named Mega and treated by his maker, Dr. Light, like the son he never had. Before long, more advanced robots based on Mega’s design are churned out. Created by Dr. Light, these robots are passionate about their work and loved by everyone.
One day, the evil mad scientist Dr. Wily attacks Dr. Light’s research lab! “Light, you’re finished. I’m going to take all your robots here and use them to take over the world!” And with that, Dr. Wily whisks all of Dr. Light’s robots away and disappears. “This is terrible...” Seeing Dr. Light so sad, Mega says to him, "Doctor! Please, upgrade me so I can fight!” At first the great Dr. Light hesitates, but he believes in Mega’s strong will and decides to upgrade him for battle. “Go, Mega! ...Wait, no. From now on, your name is Mega Man!”[2]
