About This Game
Mega Man: The Sequel Wars
is a fan-made homebrew remake of Mega Man 4, 5 and 6 for the Sega Mega Drive, following in the footsteps of the officially released
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
. It aims to carefully recreate the NES classics while giving them a fresh 16-bit coat of paint and a rearranged soundtrack. It also aims to improve on the foundation of Wily Wars by enhancing both the presentation and gameplay.
Episode Red
is the first release of the project, containing the full remake of
Mega Man 4
. Alongside the original game's content, a slew of new features are added to spice up the experience for returning players.
NOTE:
this is
not
a rom hack of Wily Wars! It is fully coded from scratch in C using the SGDK library. As such, the game will be distributed as full ROM releases as there is no original game to patch to.
