I’ve been wanting to cover the "DX" series of colorization patches for a while, but due to an agreement with the powers that be, I can’t cover fan-mods for games that are newly released (or re-released) until a certain amount of time has passed. With the Game Boy Mega Man games now available on Nintendo Switch Online, that window has finally closed. I’m happy to report that the Mega Man World 4 DX colorization project is complete and ready for download!
The patch, created by Marc Robledo and Kensu Williams, delivers a full colorization of Game Boy Mega Man 4, aligning its presentation more closely with the NES version. Additionally, it includes some quality-of-life improvements, such as an NES-style pause menu, the elimination of slowdown, and a toggle option for the Charge Shot recoil.
You can download the patch from Marc's site here. While you're at it, be sure to check out the DX patches for Game Boy Mega Man 3 and 5!
I actually think this game's exceptionally good for a classic entry. It uses the 4 level split properly by upping difficulty in the second half, too!
ReplyDeleteI'd strongly suggest giving this one a go even if you didn't like 4-5 on NES.
Love these color hacks, I'll definitely be trying this at some point.
ReplyDeleteThanks for covering this. I completely understand. The games look fantastic and I have been waiting for these since MegaMania was cancelled.
ReplyDeleteMania being cancelled really stung bitd.
Delete6 months and 13 days later, huh.
