I had a lot of fun with Mega Man 10, so definitely get excited for it!įrom left to right, me, Joveth and Jason.Navigation Sub-Franchises: Classic storyline where robotics technology flourished Finally, thanks to my long time friend Cheston for coming along with me on the trip, doing some of the driving and taking some great footage of the game. I’m sorry I didn’t notice you ’til at the last moment, I was a little preoccupied. Thanks to the guy at the suite who called out to me that he loves this site.

You guys really rock! I must also give thanks to m’boss, BD, for arranging me to get to this shindig. Much thanks to Jovith Gonzales and Jason Allen, as well as everyone on hand at the Capcom show for welcoming me to try out the game. And there are a lot of people I must thank for making this happen. Look forward to it!ĭriving to Vegas and back in a day is quite a tiring feat, but it was well worth it, even for a single stage. I will also be writing up some of the discussion I had with Jason Allen, the man on hand to introduce Mega Man 10 to me. I will be updating this post with video footage directly from my gameplay as soon as Capcom’s PR sends out the OK for posting. However, all other details that weren’t explicitly available from the demoed stage were under lock and key, and try as I might I couldn’t budge any info out of their well-trained PR guys. I was informed that Capcom expects Mega Man 10 to release worldwide in early March. That really messed me up the first time I faced the goalie enemy. Not owning a 360, I’m not really used to using it, and I had a tendency to accidentally slip my finger onto the right bumper, which changes your weapon (in this case to Rush Coil). Personally I found the 360 controller to be a tad cumbersome. I was able to easily breeze through the stage in Easy Mode, and I can definitely see it allowing people less familiar with Mega Man games to easily get used to the gameplay. The goal post enemy only used its fists in this mode. Enemy placement differs somewhat here and they move slower and take less damage. I was also allowed to play through the stage in Easy Mode (which, I’ll pitifully admit, was the only way I could beat the last goal post enemy). Being fortunate enough to beat this second incarnation of the enemy ends the demo. You must continually shoot at them and pass under when they fly up.Įventually you head back down and face the same mid-boss again from before, but this time parts of the goal post frame have electrified borders, and its fists have more complex motions. But after you get back to the ground level, you’ll face against the same platforms but with spikes, lined up in long rows. As you progress upward, you’ll encounter soccer ball shaped platforms that will briefly rise into the air when you shoot them, and fall back down. You then face more of the above mentioned robots, along with basket-like robots that toss various kinds of balls at you, and you must head upward using platforms shaped like huge basketball hoops. This was easily the most frustrating enemy in the demo, and took me a couple attempts to beat.

A soccer ball flies in and bounces around the room, and then the robot goal post will try to smash you with its hands, and knock the ball around some more. Very soon you get to the game’s mid-boss, which is a large soccer goal-like structure with a robot head. Soon, however, you head underground, facing small locker doors that open from the background and shoot at you, and enemies similar to the Springers from Mega Man 2 – when you disturb these guys, not only do they spring around wildly, but fire off shots as well. The stage starts in a stadium field with pitching robots that lob baseballs at you, which sort of arch down at you and come back up.

The only stage available for the trial was the stadium themed stage (unfortunately I’m not allowed to divulge the boss’s name now). I was able to play the Xbox 360 edition of the game.

And I’ve just now returned to tell the tale. Living roughly five hours from Vegas, I heard this news and decided “time to have a little adventure.” Much fortunately, Joveth “Jgonzo” Gonzales and the other guys at Capcom warmly invited me over to their suite at Planet Hollywood for a hands on with Mega Man’s latest adventure. Earlier this week, Capcom announced that Mega Man 10, among other titles, would be available to try in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show.
