Mega Man V was released on 1994 for the original Game Boy. While the previous four entries in Nintendo’s handheld recycled some content from the NES games, the fifth and final entry finally got its unique story, original enemies and a bunch of exclusive features. And now… you can truly enjoy it in full color! Just imagine, in the era of Game Boy Color, when Zelda, Tetris and many other games were re-released as the famous DX versions… How Mega Man could have looked if Capcom had made a DX version of this underrated gem? Now you can with this ambitious colorization project that took more than two years! And, not only that, but the hack also optimizes the game’s code, thus removing all slowdown from the original game! Pause menu has been reprogrammed as well, and added icons to every weapon (just like the later NES Mega Man games), making it looking gorgeous!
