Mega Man 4

Mega Man 4 North American boxart

Game Information Developer(s): Capcom Publisher(s): Capcom Series: Mega Man Classic Platform(s): NES Release date(s): December 6, 1991 Genre(s): Action / Platform Media: Physical cartridge, digital download

Mega Man 4 is the fourth game in the classic Mega Man series. On top of having a more polished presentation compared to the third game, it also refined the gameplay further. The game marks the debut of Eddie, and adds the ability to charge the Mega Buster, a feature that would continue to appear in games afterwards (with the exceptions of Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10). Finally, the idea of additional stages between the Robot Masters and Dr. Wily was given a larger story purpose; the four additional stages take place in the citadel of Dr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Cossack, the (supposed) new villain of the game, and Dr. Wily's involvement in the plot is not revealed until after Dr. Cossack has been defeated.
