Mega Man: Powered Up (known as Rockman Rockman in Japan) is a 2006 PlayStation Portable remake of the original Mega Man game released in 1987. It will feature a new super deformed art style in addition to two new Robot Masters, Oil Man and Time Man. Like in Mega Man VII and Mega Man 8, there will also be a new introductory level that comes before the main level selection screen, complete with a new boss at the end. The game will offer two ways to play each level. "New Style" takes advantage of the wide PSP screen and features altered level design with brand-new remixed music. "Old Style" recreates the original aspect ratio and level design of the original Mega Man for NES, and features the original NES game music. The game will also contain a level editor and an online infrastructure mode to distribute fan-made levels online. Screenshots show that all 8 bosses (upon defeating them with the Mega Buster), Roll (through a special download), two forms of Mega Man, and even Proto Man (after clearing all 100 challenges) are playable as well.
