Bugs:
  • If you insert a coin into the Parental Advisory screen the game title will disappear. This happens only in Parental Advisory screen, before and after that not. I can repro this only into Mega Man: The Power Fighters (USA 960708) set, since that Asia and Japan sets has not the Parental Advisory screen. Sincerely I don't know if it's an original bug or not.

The music may seem familiar since the Japan-only Rockman Memories series uses the same music in some stages.


Victor Entertainment released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Rockman 2 - The Power Fighters : Capcom Game Soundtrack - VICL-2173) on 21/09/1996.
