Mega Man Powered Up
2006 video game
Mega Man Powered Up is a 2006 platform game developed and published by Capcom. It was released for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld game console in March 2006. It is a remake of the original Mega Man game, released in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Players control the eponymous star Mega Man, who must stop Dr. Wily from conquering the world using eight robots called Robot Masters.
The game uses a chibi art style that was intended for the original NES game but was not possible at the time. The designers intended to keep this design faithful to the way the characters worked and looked in the original. Unlike the original game, players can control these eight Robot Masters under the right circumstances. Other new features include a level creator mode and a challenge mode.
First revealed in 2005, Powered Up was released in a bundle alongside Mega Man Maverick Hunter X (also for PSP); in Japan, it was also released on the PSP's PlayStation Network (PSN) service.

Why this record matters
“Mega Man Powered Up” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mega, Powered and video provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3304327. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 1987 and 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
