It was released in [[Japan]] in 1995 and was followed by a sequel, ''[[Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters]]'', the following year. Both games were ported to home consoles in [[North America]] in 2004 as part of the ''[[Mega Man Anniversary Collection]]'' for [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] and in Japan during the same year as part of two game compilation titled {{nihongo|''Rockman: Power Battle Fighters''|ロックマン パワーバトルファイターズ}}, also for the PlayStation 2.<ref>{{cite web | author=Navarro, Alex | date=June 21, 2004 | title=Mega Man Anniversary Collection Review for PlayStation 2 | url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/megamananniversarycollection/review.html | publisher=[[GameSpot]] | accessdate=2010-04-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | author=Navarro, Alex | date=June 21, 2004 | title=Mega Man Anniversary Collection Review for Xbox | url=http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/megamananniversarycollection/review.html | publisher=GameSpot | accessdate=2010-04-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=1本で2度おいしい!? 『ロックマン パワーバトルファイターズ』 | url=http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/1152390_1407.html | publisher=[[Famitsu]] | language=Japanese | accessdate=2010-06-11}}</ref> An adaptation of both games for the [[Neo Geo Pocket Color]], titled {{nihongo|''Rockman: Battle & Fighters''|ロックマン バトル&ファイターズ}}, was also made.<ref>{{cite web | title=ロックマン バトル&ファイターズ | url=http://www.capcom.co.jp/newproducts/consumer/ngprock/ | publisher=[[Capcom]] | language=Japanese | accessdate=2010-06-11}}</ref> ==Plot== The story of the game is simplistic; the evil [[Doctor Wily]] has rebuilt some of his [[Robot Master]]s, with which he is trying to take over the world, forcing the heroes to stop him. ==Gameplay== [[File:Megaman powerbattle2.png|left|200|thumb|Bass fighting Cut Man.]] The game lets the player choose between three [[playable characters]]: [[Mega Man (character)|Mega Man]], [[List of Mega Man characters#Proto Man|Proto Man]] and [[List of Mega Man characters#Bass|Bass]]. Two players can play the game together as different characters, teaming up to defeat the bosses. The game plays much like the main ''Mega Man'' games - the player uses one button to jump, and one to fire the character's arm-mounted energy gun. Holding the fire button charges the gun in order to release a stronger blast. Holding down while pressing the jump button makes the character do a dash, the appearance of which varies between characters. After choosing a character, the player chooses between three "stories", with each one having different [[List of Mega Man characters#Robot Masters|Robot Masters]] from various games. The "stories" are ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man 1]]-[[Mega Man 2|2]]'', ''[[Mega Man 3|3]]-[[Mega Man 6|6]]'' and ''[[Mega Man 7]]''. Upon choosing a "story", the game quickly pans through the various [[Level (video gaming)|levels]], letting the player choose one [[roulette]]-style. A level is largely different from the mainstream ''Mega Man'' games; instead of going through an entire stage and fighting the Robot Master as a [[Boss (video gaming)|boss]] at the end, the player faces the Robot Master immediately. Killing a Robot Master earns the player their weapon, which can be switched to by pressing a button. Like in most ''Mega Man'' games, each Robot Master is weak to another one's weapon, so the player can fight through them in a "[[rock-paper-scissors]]" kind of way. == Music == {{Infobox Album | Name = Rockman: The Power Battle Arcade Gametrack | Type = [[Soundtrack]] | Artist = Alph-Lyla | Cover = Rmtpb.jpg | Released = {{start date|1995|12|1}} | Recorded = | Genre = [[Video game music|Video game soundtrack]] | Language = [[Japanese Language|Japanese]] | Length = 55:00 | Label = Sony Records | Producer = | Reviews = | Chronology = Mega Man Arcade soundtrack | Last album = | This album = ''Rockman: The Power Battle'' | Next album = ''[[Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters]]'' }} The {{nihongo|''Rockman: The Power Battle''|ロックマン ザ・パワーバトル}} sound track was released on December 1, 1995 in Japan Sony Records.
