As a series veteran I can tell you that getting gears or some form of currency to purchase items or upgrades isn't new. It was in Megaman 8 and a couple others. Great review!!!
Also, let's not talk about Megaman and Bass because FUCK THAT GAME!!!! The asshole level design and dickish enemies placement could give X6 and X7 a run for its money.
Mega Man IV on Gameboy was the first to introduce the shop system. Mega Man 7 took from the Gameboy games but changed the currency from P Chips to Screws/Bolts and it's pretty much been a series staple ever since.
@@orangejoozman4013 I just bought it last night and had the demo for 2days almost…kinda of hard. But I haven’t played a Megaman game in awhile. Mos def a muscle memory game

It was nice for a throwback with 9, but they shouldn't have done it twice in a row. I'm glad to see them finally move the series forward into the modern age with some crisp cel-shaded visuals.
The game is gorgeous, what are you talking about? A few of the animations are stiff, but the models are nice and clean and the backgrounds look excellent.
Mega Man has always been a confusing series to me. I remember as I kid, I loved the character and his tv series, so I wanted to play the game, especially since it looked very child friendly. The ennemies looked cute, everything was very colorfull and so on. It basically looked to me like a futuristic super mario. Imagine my shock when I actually got to play the games and had my 8 year old ass handed to me back then. Ever since, when I see MegaMan footage, I get the distinct urge to throw a controller.
megaman 11 is so fun, and it is indeed very challenging BUT it is easier than any of the original games, mostly because megaman now moves more fluidly and responsively, all the original megaman games were hard because of the awkward, very slow stiff controls / movement, if he had the more fluid movement of say, super Mario or even blaster master, just to name a couple; megman games would have been challenging yes, but not impossible all due to the stiff sluggish control and movement ! same for castlevania games the games ould have been so much better if the control and movement was not so damn slow and stiff !
Long overdue really, other Mega Men change up their designs quite a bit and with dozens of Robot Master abilities to collect with some games being gray-scale (Game Boy), he definitely could use a new look to make what you are using more obvious and avoid mistaking the game with other titles. They held onto the NES limitations for a little too long.
How is constructive criticism being a dick? Loved his videos. Have been watching his channel for years. But his vocal ticks, the way he has a formula and says stuff over and over is turning me off.
and? He hasnt improve shit through the fucking years. I have watch his content from a long time but i watch less and less of his videos now because he keeps doing the same mistake over and over or faking the fact he is a fan or he just plain forgets shit, thats unnapcetable at this point on his carrier.
Because the NES games were much more popular than the GB (poor) and SNES (mostly obsoleted by the X series) ones. 9 and 10 were also on a much less ubiquitous console, so people who experienced the NES games are not all that likely to get a relevant console just for 9 and 10.
@@christendombaffler Stop making excuses for this fraud, even if he missed out on the Gameboy games, 7 and 8 there was no reason to miss 9 and 10, they were on Wii, PS3 and 360. Not to mention the fact Legacy Collection 2 released this gen that had all the console games with a shop system.
@DarkSonic180 He might be able to fool other non Mega Man fans with his bullshit but he ain't fooling me. In the initial reveal trailer in his first reaction he said Block Man's weapon was a weapon we had seen before that it was Rock Man's weapon in which there is so much wrong with that statement. He is also reviewing the game on casual mode as you can see he barely loses health when hit. Thats the issue.
I doubt the gear system is actually required. One of the awesome things about the Megaman series are the self imposed challenges. I'm sure we'll see no gear, no damage, buster only runs soon.
I fought all Robotmasters today without using the Gear System even once. Hell it was.... well hell xD I did it in the end, but man, the Game Over Screen and i, we are best friends now. Jokes aside.The Gear System is NOT required... That or i am a god, which i seriously doubt
@@Ultimabuster92 Haha nice! I heard Block Man's stage was one of the more simpler levels, but I finished it without using the gear system too much, even through the obstacle courses and conveyor belts. It's not that I'm a Megaman GOD. I was just too used to classic Megaman that I forget to use the gear system. Also, I'm sure Capcom's aware of the challenge run culture that formed around the series and made sure that every obstacle is passable with the minimum tools available. Actually, I've just made a quick search and there are already a ton of no gear, no damage, lemons only runs in UA-cam. I don't want to watch them though, I can't get the game yet until next week and don't want to spoil it.
Ive always wanted to see that aspect of transforming into a version of the boss when you use their power from the later Battlenework series in the main series looks cool here. Man how I miss the Battlenetwork.
I just tried this for 2 hours, couldn't beat most stages and couldn't beat any bosses! I grew up on the series and never found them that challenging. This game is very different... And sometimes jump just doesn't come out so that cost me a bunch of lives!
Game’s fun and all but... it is RETARDEDLY difficult. Like even on Newcomer difficulty, it’s BRUTALLY difficult. It’s mainly the intense af level design of the stages.
Mega man was one of only a few games back then. It was the game I was born a gamer on and there was either you got good at the game or you didn't play video games. Back then, there was no mercy for gamers. We had to sweat and in school think about how to beat X or overcome Y. I remember Zelda trying to figure out the forest puzzle. Games were tougher back then.
I beat it too and I agree this game will definitely challenge you. It's not an easy game by any means. It takes a lot of grinding for bolts to help you get through the levels. It definitely takes commitment.
I'm pretty sure the shop which uses bolts was originally first used in Megaman 8 on the playstation 1. I feel this game pays more homage to Megaman 8 than any other Megaman game.
Mega Man IV on Gameboy was the first game to use a shop system and that was in 1993 and Mega Man 7 took from that and just changed the currency to screws.
I was more of an MMX fan but I picked up the Classic megaman legacy collection and actually loved them. My excitement for mm11 sky rocket and I'm glad it's getting good praise as I would like to see the series revived again as well as the X series. I know it's just dream collaboration but it be cool if capcom teamed with arc system works for megaman x9 to have an epic anime art style.
It did for me. And this isn't the only time Mega Man had new gears to use. Even his Mega Arm in Mega Man V Game boy was a gameplay change a bit that I've adapted to. In fact, I don't even need to use the Double Gears if I don't want to.
I just bought this the other day and after playing the first stage i immediately realized this game is gonna take my full concentration. Like my day off when I can chill, and focus. As a guy that grew up with the originals, im happy they will give me a challenge and not hold my hand like every other game today.
The county hate when people say that adding certain modes and difficult tees in is overkill. As visually impaired/legally blind gamer it is sometimes imperative that these games Sistine inclusiveness through additional moods and difficulty level such as all three easy mode. Thank you for describing this mode this game will be an instanThis mode. Now that I know this mode exists I will definitely be picking this game of day one
I tried the demo and it was much harder than when I used to played and I played most of the classic series since the first game. I'm not used to the Gear Systems.
I said the same exact thing, it feels harder than some of the older ones or mabye its just me and I'm getting old, reflexes and memory arent as great as they use to be. I'll be playing the game on casual
@@wiilover07 it sure is, I actually beat the demo on normal and casual, they definately made the difficulty crazy so I'll be playing on casual mabye even new comer lol
The difficulty in MegaMan 11 is... actually interestingly applied. A lot of people have pointed out that the game seems to be balanced around the use of the speed gear, and that's true. But a lot of them miss out on the fact that it was also balanced around using the Special Weapons. A lot of them completely one-shot most enemies and if one weapon doesn't another one usually will. And most of them have the ability to attack enemies at odd angles. Tundra Storm - One of the strongest weapons easily 1-shots a LOT of things, and can attack enemies directly above and below you (it's also fairly wide so can catch things a little in front and behind as well). Also becomes a complete screenwipe if used while Power Gear is active. It also pierces the terrain and ignores shields. Blazing Torch - Probably my favorite weapon. Launches a ball upward diagonally in front which then launches a HUGE fiery projectile down at a diagonal. This weapon is also absurdly strong, pierces terrain AND enemies and completely ignores shields. Like the Tundra Storm it will 1-shot most everything, and deals its damage through a plethora of rapid multi-hits so is even dangerous against bigger, meatier foes. Scramble Thunder - I actually did not like this weapon much at first since it can only be fired up or down, which leaves your flanks completely exposed to fliers. But the bolt then splits upon contact with a surface that then crawls all along the entire length of the structure until it hits something, creating a small spherical electric burst that lingers for a bit and can catch multiple enemies (to be fair, this only seems to matter for the tiny spiderlings). The Scramble Thunder can one-shot a number of enemies, perhaps not as many as the previous two weapons I discussed but a fair number of them. And this number ramps up if you use the power gear for even stronger charges. Perhaps more interestingly it can take out a Mawaru-C without the power-gear with one shot, regardless of whether or not it hits the gap. Acid Barrier - This weapon is INCREDIBLY useful in the Wily Fortress stages where you have to leap over precarious chasms while a number of enemies fire homing missiles and such at you, as the barrier consumes projectiles of all kinds. I kinda don't like that the barrier doesn't have offensive applications since it is immediately destroyed upon hitting any enemy, but I guess that's why you can also shoot while it's up. Pile Driver - this one's probably the most interesting since it gives MegaMan a flying dash attack that you can use to bypass a lot of puzzles. Also can one-shot a lot of enemies and in particular it can break through any shield (except Mawaru-C for some reason. You still have to hit the gap on him). Perhaps the only weapon that isn't all that helpful is the Chain Blast, purely because it's simply too slow. It travels too slowly and it takes too long to actually destroy the enemy because of the countdown (which was meant to give you time to stack more bombs, but becomes a handicap more than anything). It's only usefulness is that it can destroy the otherwise invincible Gabyoalls (those floor-spike things). And it also stops them immediately upon latching on and keeps them there, effectively stopping and then destroying them for you.
For anyone who wishes Mighty No. 9 was better than it turned out, let me ask this question: Would you rather have a good spiritual successor to Mega Man or an actual successor to Mega Man that brings the series back to it's roots? I thought so...
When ever I see the words "fun or too hard" put together I just can't take that person seriously, said gamer sucks so they have to use the "fun" card as a crutch.
... Wily did not "gather" evil robot masters.. He "Stole" good robots from Dr. Light and made them evil, it explains this within the first minute of the intro cinematic. Also you stated that the gears are "needed" to complete certain parts. This is also incorrect, from my experience with the game so far with proper timing and speedy button mashing, all enemies and areas of play can be completed.
A lot of reviewers complained about Bounce Man, so I did it first. I actually really liked it. Maybe I'd have been more disappointed if I'd done it after the others, but I enjoyed it and I like the balloon power so I'm glad I got it early.
Just played it for the first time on a superhero mode, took me almost 5 hours to finish Wily. (I played this mode as it shows all the robots master real abilities.)
Does this megaman have the option to not use and beat the game without using those special moves like slowing down time and just play it like the older games where you just get the normal upgrades and the rest comes down to your reflexes, knowledge and patience? I'm okay with easy games sometimes I want to enjoy it for what it is like in RPGs, I like final fantasy mystic quest and FF13 for it's simple gameplay which is carried with its own theme. But for hardcore games, I like the option of having the traditional hard mode that is default to previous entries.
Bounce Man was the most fun stage by far... you’re crazy! Lol This game was definitely good, but not one of the better ones. It’s no 9/10; it’s a 6.5 or 7 for me.
A big step up for a classic character. Return to form but also brings something new. Hopefully they move forward with the idea and change the genre as a whole like they did before.
If you think mega man is hard and play on the hardest settings, man up and stop pussing. Played mega man 2 when I was 11 yrs old, and it a thing called "fucking learn how to play" and I dominated afterwards
They definitely 'nerfed' Block Man's second phase in terms of difficulty. His attack box is seemingly smaller as I’ve noticed whens’t battling which, so much so that I didn’t take an ounce of damage within Block Man's stage and all it encompasses.
And people were actually worried that Mega Man 11 was going to be too easy thanks to the Double Gear System, which for the most part is almost trivial.
I really hope they double down on mega man so we can finally get mega man legends 3 please because I have always went back to it over the years like ff7 or 8 and Spiderman 2000 as well as metal gear solid
catching up here. you do *not* have to use the speed gear to beat the game. it is possibke to get through the gear sections with just good old fashioned reflex
I played the demo of Mega man 11 & I had a good experience & I'm gonna be playing the heck out of this game would I get it on my brithday along with other games this is the first time in forever playing a Mega man game
Okay, let's be realistic here, Megaman is a truly challenging game! Through more than 30 years, it's kept that challenge, but now it boosted the level to retain the 1987 level, but somehow harder, like how games really should be! It's a puzzle, and helps boost your hand-eye coordination as well as reaction speed. So Capcom, I am proud of you, and keep it up!
megaman 11 is so fun, and it is indeed very challenging BUT it is easier than any of the original games, mostly because megaman now moves more fluidly and responsively, all the original megaman games were hard because of the awkward, very slow stiff controls / movement, if he had the more fluid movement of say, super Mario or even blaster master, just to name a couple; megman games would have been challenging yes, but not impossible all due to the stiff sluggish control and movement ! same for castlevania games the games ould have been so much better if the control and movement was not so damn slow and stiff !
I'm having so much fun with the game. But holy fuck, why the heck is every stage so damn LONG. I played previous Mega Man games and the X series and none of them have stages this long. There are like 2 or 3 checkpoint in each stage but because they are so damn long, making my way back to where I died is a chore. And imagine dying at the boss and have to backtrack all the way. Edit: I meant losing all lives at the boss.
I can't wait to get my hands on Mega Man 11. I will be waiting a bit unless I start getting extra income so I can get all of this new exciting stuff too.
I like the game and finished it but one feature i was hoping for was the ability to use the Robot masters after you beat them just like in Megaman powered up for the psp
Do UA-camr's generate more views if they put all of their video titles in the form of a question or is it unnecessary ? Find out next time on the "MarcG in DreamcastGuy's comment section show". Smash that like button.
Megaman 11 is a fun game and I thought it was easy with speed gear and the upgrades. By the way the auto charge was introduced in Mega Man 8(I believe). I disagree with Bounce Man stage it was fun and not frustrating, once you get use to the mechanics. I played Normal mode and will try Super Hero mode.
@@XDeminox sure it was. Changed in mid 2002ish?? I think. But since the WWE doesn't acknowledge the prior name, by blurring it out in any older videos or shows on WWE Network, I had to keep it consistent with Vince Mcmahon's ego and lawyers. And Stephanie Mcmahon's man-hands. Those things are treacherous.
@@normallyimnuts767 all because the World Wildlife Foundation sued them thinking that people would confuse the two. Riiiight. Like I'm gonna see a couple of Pandas and think "OH MY GOD ITS DEGENERATION-X!"
_"New system upgrade?"_ Dude... The bolts as currency system dates back to MegaMan 7 on the SNES... It might have been abandoned in MegaMan 8 to10, but it is not new... That time slowing mechanic is made so the usual one-shot trap levels or areas are easier to traverse for newcomers to the series but I bet some of the achievements and trophies will require you to never use it for those sections/levels.
I defeated block man and acid man in normal mode today and i think you need some parts to beat it in normal mode like I got already have the e tanks and w tanks and energy balance neo im gonna beat normal mode all d and all the time now wish me luck kb out and im gonna beat this tomarrow kb out
@@ralphtaylor7448 lol. I'm a bit too old for an allowance. I'm saving for a pro, a 4tb external, an extra controller, a year sub to ps+, and about twenty games. Which is why mm will have to wait.

My biggest concern is the asking price. $40.00 for a game that's traditionally 2-3 hours long? That's asking a LOT for an indie game. Yes, Mega Man 11 has the potential for replay value but that's only if the game really speaks to you and you love it. Most games in 2018 are one and done experiences because great games come out all the time and so you may not want to linger with one. Hell, I haven't bought a game remotely new for many years because I'm working away on a steam backlog instead. Will I buy MM11? Not for $40.00. The question is will I still be hyped for this game when its asking price is actually reasonable 1 or 2 years from now? I guess we'll see. Note: As someone who general doesn't like 'hard games' with the souls series being a bit of an exception...I love that they put an ultra easy mode in this game. Its good to understand that people of all skill levels and even some with mental or physical handicaps might want to play your game. Every game (the aforementioned souls series included) should release with ultra easy modes.
Its not stupidly hard like MEgaman 9 was but its alot harder than 10. The biggest thing killing me is all the troll enemies that kill you from things like giant flame walls, falling to your death, spikes, etc. Have beaten 4 bosses (bounce, blast, drill, and the electric dude whos name is evading me. Fun game but I do feel they went WAY overboard with things that instantly kill you. Some of the levels feel like they are just too long (bounce man looking at you!)

U have to use the slow gear option, aka the right trigger and keep shooting the gears
Omfg I deleted the demo because of this part... So freaking hard!! Lol
I mean, there has to be some form challenge.
this game is all about timing!!!!!
The part that annoys me the most is that you hit your head and can’t jump because you are 1 fraction of a millimeter under something.

The question is...did it make you FEEEEL like Mega Man?
It did for me. And this isn't the only time Mega Man had new gears to use. Even his Mega Arm in Mega Man V Game boy was a gameplay change a bit that I've adapted to. In fact, I don't even need to use the Double Gears if I don't want to.
The only game that makes you feel like megaman is KNACK 2 BAYBEEEEE!!!

The county hate when people say that adding certain modes and difficult tees in is overkill. As visually impaired/legally blind gamer it is sometimes imperative that these games Sistine inclusiveness through additional moods and difficulty level such as all three easy mode. Thank you for describing this mode this game will be an instanThis mode. Now that I know this mode exists I will definitely be picking this game of day one
I tried the demo and it was much harder than when I used to played and I played most of the classic series since the first game. I'm not used to the Gear Systems.
I said the same exact thing, it feels harder than some of the older ones or mabye its just me and I'm getting old, reflexes and memory arent as great as they use to be. I'll be playing the game on casual
@@redcrimson1028 I tried on normal and it's hard.
@@wiilover07 it sure is, I actually beat the demo on normal and casual, they definately made the difficulty crazy so I'll be playing on casual mabye even new comer lol
The difficulty in MegaMan 11 is... actually interestingly applied. A lot of people have pointed out that the game seems to be balanced around the use of the speed gear, and that's true. But a lot of them miss out on the fact that it was also balanced around using the Special Weapons. A lot of them completely one-shot most enemies and if one weapon doesn't another one usually will. And most of them have the ability to attack enemies at odd angles.
Tundra Storm - One of the strongest weapons easily 1-shots a LOT of things, and can attack enemies directly above and below you (it's also fairly wide so can catch things a little in front and behind as well). Also becomes a complete screenwipe if used while Power Gear is active. It also pierces the terrain and ignores shields.
Blazing Torch - Probably my favorite weapon. Launches a ball upward diagonally in front which then launches a HUGE fiery projectile down at a diagonal. This weapon is also absurdly strong, pierces terrain AND enemies and completely ignores shields. Like the Tundra Storm it will 1-shot most everything, and deals its damage through a plethora of rapid multi-hits so is even dangerous against bigger, meatier foes.
Scramble Thunder - I actually did not like this weapon much at first since it can only be fired up or down, which leaves your flanks completely exposed to fliers. But the bolt then splits upon contact with a surface that then crawls all along the entire length of the structure until it hits something, creating a small spherical electric burst that lingers for a bit and can catch multiple enemies (to be fair, this only seems to matter for the tiny spiderlings). The Scramble Thunder can one-shot a number of enemies, perhaps not as many as the previous two weapons I discussed but a fair number of them. And this number ramps up if you use the power gear for even stronger charges. Perhaps more interestingly it can take out a Mawaru-C without the power-gear with one shot, regardless of whether or not it hits the gap.
Acid Barrier - This weapon is INCREDIBLY useful in the Wily Fortress stages where you have to leap over precarious chasms while a number of enemies fire homing missiles and such at you, as the barrier consumes projectiles of all kinds. I kinda don't like that the barrier doesn't have offensive applications since it is immediately destroyed upon hitting any enemy, but I guess that's why you can also shoot while it's up.
Pile Driver - this one's probably the most interesting since it gives MegaMan a flying dash attack that you can use to bypass a lot of puzzles. Also can one-shot a lot of enemies and in particular it can break through any shield (except Mawaru-C for some reason. You still have to hit the gap on him).
Perhaps the only weapon that isn't all that helpful is the Chain Blast, purely because it's simply too slow. It travels too slowly and it takes too long to actually destroy the enemy because of the countdown (which was meant to give you time to stack more bombs, but becomes a handicap more than anything). It's only usefulness is that it can destroy the otherwise invincible Gabyoalls (those floor-spike things). And it also stops them immediately upon latching on and keeps them there, effectively stopping and then destroying them for you.
Megaman games are supposed to be hard!
I never remember them being hard tho🤔
Glad for the fan base this game was done well and with respect to what came before it. As the fan base for this title has always been very very loyal.
For anyone who wishes Mighty No. 9 was better than it turned out, let me ask this question: Would you rather have a good spiritual successor to Mega Man or an actual successor to Mega Man that brings the series back to it's roots? I thought so...
Finally a new Mega Man game! Can't wait for my copy to arrive. Thanks for the review!
When ever I see the words "fun or too hard" put together I just can't take that person seriously, said gamer sucks so they have to use the "fun" card as a crutch.
Awesome Review Subscribed
How's the experience?
Do you recommend it?
The small attention to details in this game is amazing. Animations are also brilliant 😃
Positive Gaming Space agree
This game almost has the same difficulty as Cuphead but unlike that game there are more platform levels than constantly fighting bosses.
Have you played the Megaman series? (Or at least one game?)
It's tougher than Cuphead
@@jeanfrancozaratemarcial7916 I've played Mega Man 1-4, Zero, and X. Cuphead is harder.
@@ElGaby323 the bizzare megaman x 6 is much harder than cuphead
huh? X6? Harder? no is not.
I can't wait for my copy to come in the mail! Thank you so much for giving me the good news on the Blue Bomber.
... Wily did not "gather" evil robot masters.. He "Stole" good robots from Dr. Light and made them evil, it explains this within the first minute of the intro cinematic. Also you stated that the gears are "needed" to complete certain parts. This is also incorrect, from my experience with the game so far with proper timing and speedy button mashing, all enemies and areas of play can be completed.
A lot of reviewers complained about Bounce Man, so I did it first. I actually really liked it. Maybe I'd have been more disappointed if I'd done it after the others, but I enjoyed it and I like the balloon power so I'm glad I got it early.
Amazing review, but does no one have anything to say about the music?
Very old school
Just played it for the first time on a superhero mode, took me almost 5 hours to finish Wily. (I played this mode as it shows all the robots master real abilities.)
Im actually super pumped that theres difficulty modes as i hate casual gaming, but i heard u can exploit the shop, is this true?
Does this megaman have the option to not use and beat the game without using those special moves like slowing down time and just play it like the older games where you just get the normal upgrades and the rest comes down to your reflexes, knowledge and patience?
I'm okay with easy games sometimes I want to enjoy it for what it is like in RPGs, I like final fantasy mystic quest and FF13 for it's simple gameplay which is carried with its own theme. But for hardcore games, I like the option of having the traditional hard mode that is default to previous entries.
Thanks man.
Btw I ain't against this feature completely but it's just so effing good to do it without any buffs.
Bounce Man was the most fun stage by far... you’re crazy! Lol
This game was definitely good, but not one of the better ones. It’s no 9/10; it’s a 6.5 or 7 for me.
A big step up for a classic character. Return to form but also brings something new. Hopefully they move forward with the idea and change the genre as a whole like they did before.
If you think mega man is hard and play on the hardest settings, man up and stop pussing. Played mega man 2 when I was 11 yrs old, and it a thing called "fucking learn how to play" and I dominated afterwards
They definitely 'nerfed' Block Man's second phase in terms of difficulty. His attack box is seemingly smaller as I’ve noticed whens’t battling which, so much so that I didn’t take an ounce of damage within Block Man's stage and all it encompasses.
And people were actually worried that Mega Man 11 was going to be too easy thanks to the Double Gear System, which for the most part is almost trivial.
You don't need to use the gears
To beat the game it just makes it easier
I really hope they double down on mega man so we can finally get mega man legends 3 please because I have always went back to it over the years like ff7 or 8 and Spiderman 2000 as well as metal gear solid
Ya know, I appreciate this dropping today because i only have to wait one more day to play it myself. One day sooner and I'd be raging w jealousy...
Even on casual mode this is a tough game!
Which one is easier megaman x or original megaman? Please reply thanks
catching up here. you do *not* have to use the speed gear to beat the game. it is possibke to get through the gear sections with just good old fashioned reflex
I played the demo of Mega man 11 & I had a good experience & I'm gonna be playing the heck out of this game would I get it on my brithday along with other games this is the first time in forever playing a Mega man game
Which platform did you play it on?
Has ANYONE seen gameplay footage for this on PC yet? I can't find any video for the PC version, it's all PS4 and Switch footage.
Okay, let's be realistic here, Megaman is a truly challenging game! Through more than 30 years, it's kept that challenge, but now it boosted the level to retain the 1987 level, but somehow harder, like how games really should be! It's a puzzle, and helps boost your hand-eye coordination as well as reaction speed. So Capcom, I am proud of you, and keep it up!
Oh, and be ready for Hollywood to make a live-action Megaman film. Who's ready for disappointment like the last film?
megaman 11 is so fun, and it is indeed very challenging BUT it is easier than any of the original games, mostly because megaman now moves more fluidly and responsively, all the original megaman games were hard because of the awkward, very slow stiff controls / movement, if he had the more fluid movement of say, super Mario or even blaster master, just to name a couple; megman games would have been challenging yes, but not impossible all due to the stiff sluggish control and movement ! same for castlevania games the games ould have been so much better if the control and movement was not so damn slow and stiff !
I'm having so much fun with the game. But holy fuck, why the heck is every stage so damn LONG. I played previous Mega Man games and the X series and none of them have stages this long. There are like 2 or 3 checkpoint in each stage but because they are so damn long, making my way back to where I died is a chore. And imagine dying at the boss and have to backtrack all the way.
Edit: I meant losing all lives at the boss.
... The boss has a checkpoint.
@@emoimo4171 I'm talking about losing all your lives and have to replay the level.
5:47 I will give you 1 guess how that ended
I can't fucking wait to play this after the demo!
The shop is available in MegaMan 7 & 8 as well, it's not new. But it wasn't very obvious in those games so I can understand why you would think that
I can't wait to get my hands on Mega Man 11. I will be waiting a bit unless I start getting extra income so I can get all of this new exciting stuff too.
Keep dreaming for a better tomorrow
But what do I do about the present?
I haven't played a Mega Man game in years. Looks fun.
the bolts and upgrade features are nothing new they were also featured in megaman 7 and megaman 8 ,
The gear system IS an option. The developers have said so.
I like the game and finished it but one feature i was hoping for was the ability to use the Robot masters after you beat them just like in Megaman powered up for the psp
Do UA-camr's generate more views if they put all of their video titles in the form of a question or is it unnecessary ? Find out next time on the "MarcG in DreamcastGuy's comment section show". Smash that like button.
Idk I don't like the question titles
Marc G what? That’s makes no sense and sounds dumb
This is unfair, even on normie difficulty. So unfair in fact, it is NOT FUN.
Megaman 11 is a fun game and I thought it was easy with speed gear and the upgrades. By the way the auto charge was introduced in Mega Man 8(I believe). I disagree with Bounce Man stage it was fun and not frustrating, once you get use to the mechanics. I played Normal mode and will try Super Hero mode.
Just got this and am playing on superhero mode. Did not realize it had no health pickups at all until it was too late 😂
Retro Renaissance.
Retro Revolution sounds like a bad WWE tag team circa 1995.
Wasn't it WWF then though?
@@XDeminox sure it was. Changed in mid 2002ish?? I think. But since the WWE doesn't acknowledge the prior name, by blurring it out in any older videos or shows on WWE Network, I had to keep it consistent with Vince Mcmahon's ego and lawyers. And Stephanie Mcmahon's man-hands. Those things are treacherous.
@@normallyimnuts767 all because the World Wildlife Foundation sued them thinking that people would confuse the two.
Riiiight. Like I'm gonna see a couple of Pandas and think "OH MY GOD ITS DEGENERATION-X!"
@@XDeminox Bah gawd King, its D Generation Pandas. Will someone get them outta hur?? (In terrible Jim Ross impersonation voice)
The trailer sold me on this game and I preordered it in June. Hope it’s fun
This game HAS to be a financial success to capcom...
yeah the new style is pretty fresh. I'm diggin' this one.
Fuck mega man 11..
.i had to put it on newcomer mode because normal mode had me raging!!
I have all ready clean megaman 3,4,2,6,7,11
Just 1 5 8 9 and 10
_"New system upgrade?"_
Dude... The bolts as currency system dates back to MegaMan 7 on the SNES... It might have been abandoned in MegaMan 8 to10, but it is not new...
That time slowing mechanic is made so the usual one-shot trap levels or areas are easier to traverse for newcomers to the series but I bet some of the achievements and trophies will require you to never use it for those sections/levels.
I defeated block man and acid man in normal mode today and i think you need some parts to beat it in normal mode like I got already have the e tanks and w tanks and energy balance neo im gonna beat normal mode all d and all the time now wish me luck kb out and im gonna beat this tomarrow kb out
Rockman finally makes a return this is good news.
You meant TORCH Man, BLAST Man AND Bounce Man!... Flame Man MM6 - Burst Man MM7
Funny I thought that they might make this Mega Man easy. Good to hear it has kept it's challenge!
They actually been getting harder, Mega Man 2, 4, 5, 6, 7(til final boss), and 8 are all fairly easy. Mega Man 9, 10 and 11 are on the harder side.
I only have one question to ask. WILL IT MAKE ME CRY LIKE AN ANIME FAN ON PROM NIGHT?
I'm looking forward to getting this, probably next year. Megaman 2 was one of my favorite nes games. 🍺💨
Duke5150 ask your mom for money to buy it
@@ralphtaylor7448 lol. I'm a bit too old for an allowance. I'm saving for a pro, a 4tb external, an extra controller, a year sub to ps+, and about twenty games. Which is why mm will have to wait.
@@MrWhite5150Duke 4tb external hard drive will break your ps4 just to let you know
@@fredmeyer1044 how's that? My neighbor has one, and his system's fine. Not sure how long he's had it. At least a year.

They should of made mega man two players
Why? I’d rather have a fun 1 player experience. If you want a multiplayer game, play one.
Hurricane spell? Spoilers man I didn't know megaman was gonna become a magician in this game!
😂😂😂😂
Downward prince Megan died a long time ago ago!
My biggest concern is the asking price. $40.00 for a game that's traditionally 2-3 hours long?
That's asking a LOT for an indie game.
Yes, Mega Man 11 has the potential for replay value but that's only if the game really speaks to you and you love it. Most games in 2018 are one and done experiences because great games come out all the time and so you may not want to linger with one. Hell, I haven't bought a game remotely new for many years because I'm working away on a steam backlog instead.
Will I buy MM11? Not for $40.00. The question is will I still be hyped for this game when its asking price is actually reasonable 1 or 2 years from now? I guess we'll see.
Note: As someone who general doesn't like 'hard games' with the souls series being a bit of an exception...I love that they put an ultra easy mode in this game. Its good to understand that people of all skill levels and even some with mental or physical handicaps might want to play your game. Every game (the aforementioned souls series included) should release with ultra easy modes.
Where are you buying it at. It's $29.99 everywhere I've seen it
Steam..Canadian pricing.
Its not stupidly hard like MEgaman 9 was but its alot harder than 10. The biggest thing killing me is all the troll enemies that kill you from things like giant flame walls, falling to your death, spikes, etc. Have beaten 4 bosses (bounce, blast, drill, and the electric dude whos name is evading me. Fun game but I do feel they went WAY overboard with things that instantly kill you. Some of the levels feel like they are just too long (bounce man looking at you!)
Does it suck?!
Great video, shame I'm not into platformers.
Holy crap this game is hard.
Trying to be a good sport about it but omg
Can we get this in hard copy?
