Sound Effects: Nothing much has changed, though I wish they wouldn’t use jumping and firing sound effects for the menus.
So that makes it a lot easier on the ears. Music: Although none of the tunes really jumped out at me, there is less reuse of old songs here, and more to the point, the music is less high-pitched overall than the Mega Man 9 tunes. It’s funny because even though they were trying to mimic the style of the other sprites, Bass looks kind of hunched over, whereas the other characters don’t, oddly enough. They added a few new animations for the story scenes, and of course Bass has entirely new sprites mimicking his animations from other games. The one for Mega Man 9 wasn’t bad either. Graphics: Not a whole lot has changed here. The characters feel ever so slightly sluggish at times, but otherwise, it’s not bad. I don’t yet cover these (though they’re in the database), but I might in the future. Of particular note are three challenge stages that contain boss fights with Enker, Punk, and Ballade. Also, his shots are weaker (to compensate for his rapid-fire) and do not go through the background, though he can have four shots on the screen at once.Īlso, as a reader pointed out, I neglected to mention that there is other content for this game that can be downloaded separately, just as with Mega Man 9. Because of this, he cannot shoot while moving. Bass is very similar to his control in Mega Man & Bass except that he can’t double-jump he has a dash instead of a slide and he can shoot at an angle. Proto Man also has his shield (which protects him only while he’s jumping) but he mysteriously can only have two shots on the screen at once and he takes double damage from everything.
Mega Man is missing his Mega Buster and slide (which really aggravates me) these are given to Proto Man instead. Go figure.Īs in Mega Man 9 and Mega Man & Bass, the three playable robots have different play styles.
Now for Mega Man 10 they’ve reversed that: Proto Man is playable by default and Bass must be purchased separately.
Just as a personal aside, years ago for Mega Man & Bass I made a comment about how Bass is a playable character in that game and Proto Man isn’t. )Īside from that, this game is downloadable in the same vein as Mega Man 9, which means you won’t find it on a shelf. (Good thing though that Capcom long ago dispensed with using roman numerals for main series games. because that’s what all beings do when they catch the flu.After 23-plus years, we’ve finally made it to the magical number 10 that proves once and for all that Mega Man X was not and was not going to become Mega Man 10.
