Did you know
- TriviaThis game features the first appearance of Skull Castle, Dr. Wily's fortress in nearly every Mega Man game where he is the villain.
- GoofsWhen we first see Dr. Wily's castle, his saucer flies toward the castle, and we hear the appropriate "saucer beep" sound effects. But in the subsequent exterior shots of the castle, we still hear the saucer noise, even though the saucer is nowhere to be seen.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: The ending features Mega Man defeating the Wily Alien, uncovering that it was just a projection all along. Wily gets on the floor and begs, like always. Mega Man is then shown walking home, with the four seasons passing. He then runs home, leaving his helmet on a hill. The credits roll follows.
- Alternate versionsIn the Famicom version of Mega Man 2 has many of the changes which are different from the NES version including.
- The game title screen in the Famicom version is actually called Rockman 2.
- The Famicom version has only the Difficult mode while the NES has Normal and Difficulty.
- Crash Man from the NES game is called Clash Man in the Famicom version in the menu screen.
- The NES version has the Password combined while the Famicom version is spelled Pass Word.
- After defeating a boss, in the Get Equipped message, the Famicom version is faster and is in Japanese text, while the NES version has English text but the text moves much slower than in the Famicom version.
- Also the Famicom version features Japanese text instead of English text in the NES version, this isn't a problem for English players as they can still play the game without being required to read Japanese.
- The end credits in the Famicom version has a few spelling errors with Character Design and Sound Programmer which is fixed in the NES version.
- At the end of the credits the Famicom version originally shows "Presented by Capcom" while the NES changes it to "Presented by Capcom U. S. A."

Featured review
Stone classic platformer
This is a series that I never stuck with through its myriad sequels . . .
But there was always "Mega Man 2".
It was the title that everyone around you had in their collection, and if you owned (hell, or were even interested in) an NES, this was on your to-do list. Beautiful aesthetic, great soundtrack, hard as hell.
And I remember it being a *little* bit easier because now I suck at it. I can't pretend to be skilled but the dying part sure comes easy.
Still, the blue bomber is an icon, and I think it's due to this game right here. Once you hear that epic fight music at the title screen, you are ready to go.
