Mega Man appeared in six platformers originally for the Nintendo Entertainment System/Family Computer, two for the Super Famicom/Super NES (one of which, Mega Man & Bass, was released only in Japan, but later released on the Game Boy Advance in all regions), one for the Sega Game Gear, one on the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation, two as PC games, five for the Game Boy, and one for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 designed to look and sound like a NES game. (Capcom also released a compilation game for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, titled Mega Man: The Wily Wars. This game was released only in Europe and Japan, but was later offered to Sega Channel users as an exclusive game.) During the releases of the first six Mega Man games on the NES, they were never released for the Sega Master System as Nintendo held exclusive rights to third party companies such as Capcom.
