Mega Man Powered Up, known as Rockman Rockman in Japan, is a remake of the first Mega Man game. It was released worldwide for the PlayStation Portable in March 2006. It was later released in a bundle alongside Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X and was slated for release on the PSP's PlayStation Network. It was released for the PlayStation Network service in Japan, but a US release did not occur due to technical difficulties. The game uses a chibi-style that was intended for the original 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. While it received generally positive reviews, the game sold poorly, and plans for a remake of Mega Man 2 titled Mega Man Powered Up 2 fell through.

Mega Man Powered Up is currently tracked with a Playable rating on EmuRank. PPSSPP shows the best results so far, but coverage is still limited.

EmuRank currently tracks 2 reports for this game across 1 emulator and 1 operating system, so the guidance below reflects a broad testing base rather than a single setup.
