    Battle & Fighters gets a very conditional sort of recommendation. If you have to choose, go with the 2nd Stadium releases. But if you are a huge fan of Mega Man, of demakes or of Neo Geo Pocket Color games, this is a good addition to any Mega Man collection. [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 23]

    Mega Man Battle & Fighters is a highly entertaining portable interpretation of 2 arcade treasures that are themselves nifty compilations of classic Mega Man boss fights. So, if you're a fan of the Blue Bomber then definitely play this.

    Mega Man Battle & Fighters feels right at home besides its console, mainline counterparts. The controls are super tight, the visuals are extremely pretty, and the boss battles are equally challenging but rewarding. Mega Man fans will feel right at home with this set of fighting games. That said, the localization is completely non-existent, making it pretty much impossible to understand anything in the game (including menu navigation). Deal breaking? No, but keep Google Translate open at all times. For people who aren’t fans of the Mega Man formula, Mega Man Battle & Fighters doesn’t do anything different that might pull you in. It’s a Mega Man-style game through and through, so if that isn’t your thing, you might want to look elsewhere.

    Mega Man Battle & Fighters is an excellent Neo Geo Pocket Color package that is fairer and more playable in some ways than the arcade originals on which it's based. For fans of the Mega Man formula, there’s lots here to learn and plenty of rewards to be gained from defeating each story’s boss lineup. Getting to grips with each character’s strengths and weaknesses mixes things up, and it’s great fun to study and overcome the attack patterns of your adversaries. Sadly, it’s hamstrung by a prominent and invasive continue option that many will struggle to ignore, and the localisation is non-existent, making it both cumbersome to get into and limited in terms of how much one can be absorbed by the experience.

    Mega Man Battle Fighters is a serviceable collection, but one with too many issues to make it an easy recommendation.

    Mega Man Battle & Fighters may have been part of one of those Mega-Man compilations that Capcom usually puts out but not as a standalone release. Like I said, it's a Boss Rush Mode with Mega Man's bosses in the form of a handheld game within a handheld.
