mega man 2

Rocman 2, known outside of Japan as Mega Man 2, is a 2D action video game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System.

It was released in Japan in 1988 and in North America and PAL regions the following years. Mega Man 2 continues the heroic android Mega Man's battle against the evil Dr. Wily and his rogue robots. It introduced graphical and gameplay changes, many of which became series staples.

Although sales for the original Mega Man were unimpressive, Capcom allowed the team to create a sequel. They worked concurrently on other Capcom projects, using their free time to develop the game, using unused content from the first game. Tateishi Takashi composed the soundtrack, with Sakaguchi Yoshihiro serving as a sound programmer.

Mega Man 2 is the bestselling Mega Man game of all time, with more than 1.5 million copies sold. Critics praised its audio, visuals and gameplay as an improvement over the first game. Many publications rank Mega Man 2 as the best game in the series and one of the greatest video games of all time.

It has been featured in game compilations, including Mega Man Legacy Collection for Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch, become a part of console emulation services, and appeared on mobile phones.
