I survived when Nintendo did that with Game Boy Advance remakes of A Link to the Past and Super Mario Bros. On the other hand, I have absolutely no problem with any of the voice acting, even if Mega Man is constantly now screaming when doing things. vacation time.Īlso, Block Man's music isn't of the instantly catchy variety that I expect from Mega Man's series. I'm not repulsed from Mega Man 11 or anything, but I did come away wondering if this is the best that CAPCOM can pull off after all of Mega Man's. It's probably better than Block Man's stage. I only kinda-sorta want to know what the rest of the game is like. The E-Tank, which restores Mega Man's health, is very useful against Block Man, since I don't know how to properly avoid his fist-slams when he powers up. In fact, Block Man's stage has a specific moment where you sort of need to use the Pile Driver weapon to do a mid-air dash to get an E-Tank. While the classic Mega Man games never had the fluidity of movement that Mega Man X has, you can do things like air dashes with the Pile Driver weapon. With the experience of knowing what the level design was ahead of time, along with the power of pausing the game to change weapons, I beat Casual mode and then Normal mode. Once I was using the pause menu for weapon change, it was pretty smooth-sailing. I found out that, just like the Mega Man games on the NES, you can still go to the pause menu to change weapons. But what about enemies flying directly above you? You need to either run away and re-position Mega Man, or switch to the Scramble Thunder special weapon, which shoots directly above or directly below Mega Man. For example, the Mega Buster can only shoot projectiles to Mega Man's left and right. I was trying to do real-time weapon change in the heat of danger or battle and I kept getting trashed. This has been a feature in the more modern Mega Man games, but not the ones that actually released much earlier on than I was used to. So, the problem? You use the ZR/ZL buttons, or the right-stick, to do real-time weapon change from Mega Buster to a special weapon. Rush's weapon energy is only used up if you jump off him. You can also use the X button to switch right back to the Mega Buster/Rush from any weapon you have - they're combined into the same selection. I changed the jump/shoot buttons to be A for jump and B for shoot, though. The default controls have the R button as the Speed Gear and the L button as the Power Gear, which matches the Zone Time and Special Shot buttons in Mario Tennis Aces exactly that have the same functions as the gears in Mega Man 11. Speaking of controls, they're all fully customisable. That's great, since using things like the Power Gear alters the properties of not only the Mega Buster, but the special weapons obtained from the Robot Master bosses, too. That way, you have a risk-free way to figure out what you're doing, and it tells you the controls as well. Mega Man 11 allows you to practice controlling Mega Man, and practice using his weapons, before actually going into any levels. and then I discovered my problem.įirst, let me say some good things from a quality-of-life perspective. I don't know what I'm doing, though, so I tried Normal mode and got a game over. Of course, if you know what you're doing, you can win no matter what. (Newcomer gives you infinite lives, health support, and doesn't let you die from pits or spikes.) Also, at least for this demo, the difficulty modes affected your life count and additional support items. Your difficulty level affects many different things, including damage given/taken, the availability of helpful pick-ups, the regeneration speed of your Double Gears (as well as how much time you get to use them), how much weapon energy is used up per shot when you use a special weapon, the availability of checkpoints after losing your life. And I'll tell you what I think about it.įirst of all, there are four difficulty modes, three of which are available: Newcomer, Casual, Normal, and the unavailable Superhero mode. Of course I'm going to play the demo for myself. R emember when I was complimenting Mega Man 11 and CAPCOM a lot based on how Mega Man 11 looked back at E3 2018? Well, they brought a modified version of the demo - Block Man's stage - over to the Nintendo eShop for a pre-release demo! (The game releases in a month, after all.) By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Just don't try to do real-time weapon change and the game is much better.
