Mega Man 2 Arrives on iPhone

March 26, 2009 5:57 PM

Continuing a week of surprise revelations for iPhone and iPod Touch users, Capcom today released an iPhone version of its infuriating NES classic Mega Man II. It's priced at $5 and weighs in at 13.2 MB, meaning you won't be able to download it via 3G or Edge.

Capcom points out that the gameplay has been rebalanced for iPhone, which is undoubtedly for the best, as a touch screen-controlled port of platformer that demands absolute precision problably isn't the best idea, especially given the amount of broken gamepads that Mega Man II has left in the wake of its multiple incarnations.

  I have an iPhone and I wish I could convince myself that this was a good idea. :/
  
  Too bad there's no demo.

    Ugh, the reviews are terrible. If the controls were solid, and true to the original, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
