Category: Capcom is resurrecting 2D graphics in the new Mega Man 10, released for PS3 on March 31, 2010. The 8-bit style rekindles the love for arcade style gaming, while introducing new missions and villains.
An outbreak of the robo-virus called "Roboenza" (cough cough, the robot's swine flu) is taking down the mechanical masses. Not only is it creating chaos with the lack of technological aid to the humans, it is corrupting their software. In an almost zombie-like manner, the infected robots are creating havoc on their human makers.
Enter hero! Mega Man, in all his 8-bit glory, sets out to save the city, find out who the "Master Hacker" is, and find a cure for the lethal virus.
The game play will be similar to that found in your closest bowling alley. The arcade feel brings back nostalgia of the ol' days digging for quarters in the sofa, but adds a complex storyline to the 8-bit greatness. The vertical map is kin to that of the early Nintendo games. Start to finish, the levels are set up to mimic that of a chapter in the Mega Man mystery; complete with chapter bosses and nemeses.
The game is rated "E" for everyone by the ESRB for "mild cartoon violence." The game will be released for the PS3, Wii, and Xbox, and is fun for the whole family.
