Mega Man V, known in Japan as Rockman World 5 (ロックマンワールド5), is the fifth and final installment in the Mega Man World series for Game Boy. It was released in 1994. The game has Super Game Boy support. At one time it was considered to be rereleased in 2000, but unlike Mega Man II, the project was abandoned. Unlike previous Game Boy titles, the game did not reuse levels or bosses from the NES titles, but is a completely new game with its own storyline, new assets and a full series of new bosses and weapons. This game marked the introduction of the Stardroids. This game is currently available for download on the 3DS Nintendo eShop.
It is the fifth and final game in the Game Boy version of the original Mega Man series. In 2013, Mega Man V was made available on the 3DS Virtual Console of Japan's Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS. It was later released in the North American eShop in 2014.
Mega Man V is an action platformer in which the player selects stages in a non-linear fashion and acquires the weapon of each boss defeated to use as their own. Although it plays nearly identical to any other games in the series, Mega Man V features a new default weapon (the powerful "Mega Arm") and introduces Tango, a new assistant character.
