Prerelease:Mega Man: The Wily Wars

This page details pre-release information and/or media for Mega Man: The Wily Wars.

The bug-checking phase of development was reportedly troubled. Keiji Inafune had this to say about it in Mega Man & Mega Man X Official Complete Works:

The bug check phase for this title was an absolute nightmare. I felt so bad for the person who was in charge of the checking procedure that I even jumped in myself to help out in any way that I could. It was so bad that I found myself saying, 'I can't believe we made it out of there alive.' Questioning whether or not this nightmare was 'truly necessary', we've made some changes in our procedures to hopefully avoid this sort of situation in the future.

Sega Video Magazine Promo

Sega Video Magazine was a monthly video series in Japan which showcased upcoming games for various Sega systems. Rockman Mega World was featured in the October 1994 issue.

Pre-release	Final

The title screen has no Sega licensing credit, plus "SAMPLE" is printed under the game's logo.

VHS Promo Segment (1994)

The only known advertisement for the English version has a lot of differences, and really shows how much of a struggle it was to fix all the programming errors.

Pre-release	Final (Europe)

The title screen is much more basic. While the logo is similar (albeit much less refined here), the ® symbol, background, Capcom logo, and Sega licensing credit are all missing.

Pre-release	Final

The Mega Man 2 stage select screen is a bit different.

Mega Man replenishes his health bar after he should've died. Same rule applies for Robot Masters in this build.

Mega Man rarely triggers a jumping animation in this build. Also, the Gabyoalls from the beginning of Elec Man's stage are missing.
