It’s Christmas for Mega Man fans with five classic games now playable in the NSO collection. And these five Game Boy games can be accessed by all Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
The games, known for their retro challenge and 2D platforming, include the iconic Mega Man titles 1 through 5. Each game brings its own unique set of Robot Masters to defeat and special weapons to acquire, which will no doubt spark some nostalgia (and a little frustration too).
