![]() ![]() The mini-boss of Block Man’s stage, a robot split into four sections, will test your abilities early on. This pixel-perfect nature can make it’s way into combat as well. Some will even need attention to your surroundings so you don’t accidentally hit something mid-jump. Many of the jumps will still need near pixel-perfect precision and timing. The level design seems to be a fantastic call back to the previous games in the series. Some enemies might be easy to take down, but many others will take strategy. This is the case for many of the enemies, as their placement is what makes them dangerous. What makes this foe so deadly is his placement, as he’ll often be near bottomless pits. Another will be a stationary enemy that floats in mid-air as he shoots projectiles in eight directions. One of them rides around in a giant wheel with a small opening to shoot through, perfect for the Speed Gear. While fans will run into familiar enemies like Mettaurs, most of the enemy robots will be brand new. These new abilities, while welcome, might take a little getting used to for series veterans, but upon getting the hang of it, it can become second nature. If used for too long, the gears will overheat and leave Mega Man vulnerable for a moment. The Power Gear boosts Mega Man’s attack power, giving him added strength to fight his foes. The Speed Gear allows Mega Man to slow down time, allowing him to make more precise shots on enemies or even to use fast moving platforms to get to new areas. New to the series is the Double Gear system, which allow players to perform various actions. The game would feel familiar to fans of the series almost instantly as Mega Man can run, jump, and slide across stages. ![]() It was clear that Capcom wanted to get a good art design that felt both modern and nostalgic. Just looking at the combination of 3D and hand-drawn graphics for the game, it fits very well for current platforms. Starting with Block Man’s stage, it was a cool stone oasis with pyramids and ruins. That was a mistake, but I’ll get to that later. Even though the casual difficulty was suggested, I disregarded it and played on normal. Playing Mega Man 11 at E3, there were two Robot Masters to choose from: Block Man and Fuse Man. Capcom had Mega Man 11 playable at various events like E3 and San Diego Comic-Con, so we took the chance to give it a whirl. Now, in 2018, fans can rejoice again, as Mega Man is returning with Mega Man 11. Despite this, he hasn’t really had a new game release since 2011 (2012 if you count Street Fighter X Mega Man). Debuting back in 1987, Mega Man has been a gaming icon for over 30 years. One of those icons that many hold near and dear is Mega Man, the Blue Bomber. Mario, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, the list goes on and on. ![]() In the world of gaming, there are several icons that easily stand out. ![]()
