In any event when you start the game you’ll find like most of the series, there’s an opening run of cinema screens that set up the arc. But throughout the many stages you will reach sections where you may just find them helpful enough that you don’t lose a life. So you really can’t rely solely on this feature to get through the entire game. If you go beyond that, you’ll overcharge the move, and you won’t be able to use it again for several moments. You’ll only have a few seconds to use these powers. The emphasis however is on that word temporary. Everything will go into slow motion, allowing you to quickly move around obstacles, and attacks. Pressing the right shoulder button temporarily allows Mega Man to go into a bullet time state like in the Max Payne games. Pressing the left shoulder button increases his attack power immensely. Basically, Mega Man has two new powers he can use temporarily for a few seconds by pressing the corresponding shoulder button. The storyline is tied to the game’s fancy new mechanic The Double Gear System. But before some of you worry, that proverbial Father will still find a lot to love about Mega Man 11. In a way, they could have come out screaming “THIS AIN’T YOUR DADDY’S MEGA MAN!”, and they would be accurate. But it also builds upon the foundation that was solidified way back in 1987.

Other than perhaps Street Fighter, the series is synonymous with the company name. One of their most prolific franchises, Mega Man has always been known for its excellent action platforming, wonderful characters, and excellent soundtracks. Cutting the fuse on him will yield the Chain Blast, a sticky bomb that can be linked together for a bigger bang - bigger still if you use your own Power Gear to up the ante.After Mega Man 10 came out nearly a decade ago, Capcom slowly went silent on the Blue Bomber.

The Man of the hour himself takes after other bombing bots, but has the advantage of a Power Gear that super-sizes his bombs for a bigger bang to go with his more erratic pattern. New and familiar foes and obstacles alike litter the landscape, ranging from fireball launchers and exploding mini-bots to Sniper Joes, and even an out-of-control roller coaster mini-boss that spills its mechanical passengers about. “He’s added several personal touches, including a number of signs featuring himself as the star of ‘Blast Man Adventure.'” Described as a “volatile bot” who has “a flair for the theatric… and a taste for explosions,” Blast Man inhabits the ruined remains of a theme park/movie studio (I’m guessing something like Universal Studios theme parks, maybe?) that he’s turned into his personal playground.
