Mega Man: The Power Battle, known in Japan as Rockman: The Power Battle (ロックマン・ザ・パワーバトル), is an arcade video game and a spin-off title for the Mega Man series. 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, Nintendo GameCube and Xbox and in Japan during the same year as part of two game compilation titled 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. An adaptation of both games for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, titled Rockman: Battle & Fighters (ロックマン バトル&ファイターズ), was also made.
The story of the game is simplistic; the evil Doctor Wily has rebuilt some of his Robot Masters, with which he is trying to take over the world, forcing the heroes to stop him.
The game allows the player choose between three playable characters: Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass. Two players can play the game simultaneously as different characters and team up to defeat the bosses.
