Believe it or not, Mega Man 10 is in production; and that art shown above, that’s the game’s retro-styled promo art. Looks like it’s following the same route Mega Man 9 did.
The game, announced in the latest Nintendo Power, has only been confirmed for WiiWare so far, but since Mega Man 9 was on all three platforms, we’re assuming this will be, too. “New challenges! New bosses!,” and “Retro fun!” are all promised for the latest installment.
Mega Man’s “brother” Proto Man plays a vital role in this game, helping him fight a vaccine-making device needed to cure robots of Robotenza, which is a virus that causes infected robots to go haywire. A third playable character will also be available, but Capcom‘s not ready to reveal him/her just yet.
There’s a new boss named Sheep Man too. He looks plain silly, but I think we can all adore his attempt at looking tough.
I’ve sent an e-mail over Capcom’s way to see if they can confirm this for PS3 and 360. Stay tuned for an update.
Thanks, GAF.
