[@supersmashbro596]

with the failure of mighty number 9 and the success of mega man 11, did megaman even NEED keiji inafune?

[@Corad4]

Nah, just a team that knew what it was doing.

[@hiddenthunder1395]

Remember, then Capcom asked to make an updated Mega Man, he gave them Zero and ditched mega buster for a laser sword. I love Zero, but fans would hate him as new Mega Man instead of X. Keiji definitely didn't understand that people wanted from Mega Man.

[@caiopatric]

megaman as a game never needed keiji inafune. he was only a character designer.

[@redcrimson1028]

Yes and no, I still think inafune bad a big influence on mega man as a whole, from the level design and boss structures. While I really liked the demo I can tell that inafune influence wasn't there and if he did have a hand in mega man 11 game, it would even be a lot better.

[@isaiahrivers7117]

Consider how we found out that Keiji isn't the real creator/farther of Mega Man i say no, i but think it would been great to have the original team of Mega Man work on the Mega Man games to be a little bit more safe at least borrow them from Comcept (that is part of level 5 games) and not have Keiji the director of Mega Man but just have him part of the art team or something.

[@CutBackDropTurn]

Not that it was the point of the review, but every time GameXplain talks about Sonic Mania, they say that the Drop Dash is an ability they easily overlook and forget about while playing. I don’t see how that’s possible. For me, the Drop Dash was the biggest game changer and has become my favorite ability for the Blue Blur!

[@mellio6730]

You commented on the wrong vid bud

[@victorhugocosta1127]

Ikr? It really helped achieving a fast paced gameplay that I feel the classic Sonic trilogy lacked sometimes

[@Chaos89P]

I honestly never used the Drop Dash. I just didn't know it existed. It might not help that I have the control settings to Sonic CD.

[@andrewt329]

It's useful, but unless you're familiar with the trailers, and have done your research on the game Mania does nothing to tell you that the move is there, doesn't instruct you on how it works, and it's not required for anything. You have to make a conscious effort to break habit and start using it. It's honestly pretty easy to sweep under the rug.

[@jcsjapan]

+Roi Itzkovich I liked Mighty Number 9 too, and I've argued for it on Kotaku numerous times, but even I (A fan) must admit that the game was lacking. Too many people ridiculed MN9 as "the worst game ever", but it is far from. I personally think MN9's demise is that it's just average. It's a decent game with not a whole lot to write home about, and in the end, that's what hurt it most. It was just a forgettable game. I hope Mega Man 11 provides a more exciting experience, and based on the demos I've played, It's pretty much a guarantee it'll be more exciting than MN9 as an all-around product.

[@cloroxhammer3289]

[@sinteleon]

If you're a pro, you'll get by just fine. If you're noob, the double gear system will help you in some spots, but not to the extent of making it that much easier for pros. Say for example: A pro can get by a jump with a little difficulty. A noob needs the double gear system to get by the same jump with a little difficulty. The double gear system doesn't make the jump any easier for the pro, because they could already get by the jump with a little difficulty, but doesn't actually make it that much easier because you're still doing the same things that you would've without the double gear system..

Was hoping for a Megaman X Mania approach mainly to forget more about the bad memories of the later X games and/or fix what's broken about the storyline after X6, If Capcom wanted to please the fans that didn't give two craps about what bad happened to the X series after X8, then so be it. Though, it would be really interesting if X9 was 2.5d yet it restores the old fashioned boss system; no boss warning sirens, no maverick dialogue Megaman X: Corrupted sets a really great example on future Mega Man X games even if Capcom would not take that example.

[@achaudhari101]

They said if it sold well then they will do it.

[@sinteleon]

Please not X, at least not a traditional X9. MMX's story was supposed to end long before that, and there's only so much they can stretch the basic story without it being mindnumbly obvious that Sigma is behind everything again and nothing matters cause they'll just make a new game. Now, if they actually make a bridging story between MMX and MMXZ, then I'll be up for it.

[@darkmind9637]

Mighty No°9 failed to make keeping going Mega Man's legacy. So the blue robot had to do it by himself once again. I must say thought, I'm surprised that the Classic series of Mega Man, aside the things it went throught with the constant style change, still mantains consistent its quality. IMO with the exception of the very first game (which aged SOOOOO BADLY and now it's pratically unplayable for me) all the games in the classic series are at the very least an 8/10 in my eyes. It does have quite a thing for consistency I must say. Even the Kirby series always had this kind of consistency thought... and then Star Allies happened....

[@misterdream761]

I got it yesterday, it really feels like the original Megaman games. From the story, I think this is kind of a reboot or retelling of the story on how the story got started, so it makes sense to me as the reason they made a proper modern game from 11, while 9 & 10 were retro.

[@JBX9001]

Already knew this game was gonna be good, but nice to have some confirmation of that! I hope we get more games in the series with this graphical style; it looks great! Also forgot to mention, I like how the Special Weapons add more to Mega Man's design than just color changes this time around; it looks pretty cool!

[@nixuniverse5240]

[@lotteryticket9240]

This channel is so much better at reviewing than IGN

[@MagnificantSasquatch]

I will say two things. One, we already have signs of DLC on the horizon, so much like the Mega Man Killers in 10, we can probably expect Blues and Bass for those who care about those characters, as well as perhaps some additional challenges. We’ve yet to see that Star Force skin again, after all. Secondly, much alike their not being in the main story, your dissatisfaction in not having a second castle like three of the previous 10 entries seems to miss that this just wouldn’t have been a good idea. Those have received flak even among us in the longtime fanbase for getting exhausting after a time and not ending when they should. This is the series’ soft reboot with a new direction after an eight-year hiatus; you want a self-contained and solid experience that appeals to the widest possible audience.

[@ElecManEXE]

I mean, the reason many people complain about having too many castle stages is because you're forced to play them all in a row and have to replay them all when you restart your game without any way to save progress between. Which wouldn't have been the case here, since you now get a stage selection feature for the castle. That one change would have alleviated a lot of complaints about having multiple castles or even just more castle stages with a single castle.

[@RevolvingCube]

I did. I never got a chance to play Mario U because I played Mario 3D world and Mario maker instead

[@yoshiminer4289]

RevolvingCube Not worth it. So many other amazing platformers that only cost $15-20, and still have the same amount of content. Celeste, Shovel Knight, and Hollow Knight (this is a Metroidvania, aka exploring platformer) are a few I want to highlight! And if you really don’t want to buy a game made by a smaller developement studio, just buy Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

[@manheikwok7273]

Mega Man 11 seems promising...

Like Roll's design here. I can see this game getting DLC with her, Protoman, and maybe Bass honestly. Sad to see it's taking the safe route this time but that might be for the best for now

[@GintaPPE1000]

My main concern with this game is that the low base content will be used to try and sell DLC further down the road. Don't know what the particulars of MM11's story are, but from that cutscene of the Robot Masters being checked up after they're defeated, and the fact these are Light's robots after all, I would like to see something similar to Mega Man: Powered Up where you can play as them provided you unlock them somehow. If that "somehow" turns out to be by buying them, I'm going to be very disappointed.

[@phillipmartinez2436]

Yep let Capcom spend a ton of money and resources to make free content. If it was made already that's one thing if its brand new DLC that's another. Content costs money and they aren't very high on megaman anymore so them making another game is almost a miracle on its own.

It seems Capcom went through effort to balance it out for all players, and it is manageable without the Double Gear as I have went through the game without them. The Double Gear system seems to be mixed between players. I don't mind it, but I don't have to rely on the Double gears either.

[@Spencerspeaksss]

Which would you guys recommend , Mega man 11 or legacy collection. This is my first time playing a mega man btw :))

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

Hori is going to get a large sales boost ;3 also, the last firmware update fixed the battery drain bug, just a head up for people worried about that and didn't hear about the fix. That's the thing about officially liscensed products, Nintendo helps with any issues.

[@bio2189]

I just received my copy but I won't be able to get it at the post office for another 5-6 hours oof

[@GekkouKitsune]

I'm trying to decide on getting this on Switch or PS4.

[@sportosellout]

if u like playing games like this handheld switch, if not ps4:p

[@GekkouKitsune]

I went with PS4 in the end but I may buy it again for Switch later! I wanted the PS4 theme lol

[@PRChingon]

You are the only person who mentioned that run animation. Thank you! Since E3 I was like eeehhhhh...

[@MarioPikachu626]

Just talked to executive producer of Megaman 11. There actually 3 Wily Stages. And the reason why is because of stage length.

[@UDPlaythroughs1990]

There's 4 actually.

[@SoulXCross.]

All Capcom has to do, is make some DLC for this game. Release ProtoMan or Bass (if not both) with a couple of new stages telling us where they were during these events and boom, 10/10 game.

[@Matthew_Murray]

I’m interested in getting this, I enjoyed the demo. Even though it took a while to get use to. I grew up on the Zero series so I’m more use to a having a sword instead of just the buster

[@Snoutmasta]

Great review! Not a huge Mega Man guy, but it’s nice to know this game is pretty successful in the eyes of the series’ fans.

[@jediyoshi64]

I do find it interesting that "certain fan favourite characters" are totally absent, and that the game seems so short. I think I'll hold off on buying, for now. But, if the game gets DLC that adds replayability via another two playable characters (which seems pretty likely to me), I'll definitely go all in at that point.

[@lordmango6060]

Seeing Megaman transform into a boss-like outfit reminds me of ZX and Battle Network. Great stuff there

[@unknownplanet1072]

Love this game. I hope one day we get a game like MegaMan 64.

[@Patmanx1]

I'm loving the MM1-6 robots I am seeing in this video. Didn't see a Joe but I like those recycled bots with updated gimmicks

[@JT-ss6si]

6:28 Mega Man's eyes though! They never moved when he was choosing a stage. :P

[@benplus1503]

About 10 years since the last classic series Mega Man. 10 levels in Mega Man 11. I doubt each level took a full year to make. WE’VE BEEN GIPPED!

[@gavadar8497]

12:18 Interesting, I thought exactly the opposite. Dr. Light's voice seemed pretty good to me, while Roll and Auto's voices were almost unbearable after a while.

[@JZF629]

A spoiler-free review would’ve been nice. I didn’t need the game’s story to know whether it was good or not.

[@PipeRetrogamer]

I can't help but notice there's a lot in common between mn9 and mm11 in terms of design. Maybe development was already started when Inafune took off. Weapons transforming aspect, a weapon gives you a quite broken air dash, powerplant, and mine levels... I really like both games and it becomes clearer that had mn9's budget been unknown to the public and hadn't Comcept fucked up social media management, the general public would be ok with it and also with mm11.

[@Fooza05]

I'm positive if they were more content in the game, Ash would have given this a "LOVED" rating. As a Mega Man fan myself I consider this game to be one of the highlights in the classic series thus far. Albeit a bit short but that's a thing that has been in most Mega Man games (looking at you X4). Although the music didn't really impress me, at least they were a good chunk of tracks that are AWESOME! 8.5/10 for me!

[@alabaster3535]

I fucking love your reviews... you show true passion, and that's the only thing needed tl make a video like this

[@anverhelm]

A kick ass game for $30. Worth it. Also, great review. You sold me on this and I'm going to run to the store and pick it up today.

[@oguzhangungor9117]

Ash , what about the eye frame of the bosses? Are they 9 and 10 short or longer like it was in the older games. I truly believe that eye frames should be short so that normal shot lovers can beat a robot master without loosing speed. In older games charge shot wasn't really useful since it was kinda mandatory to beat a boss fast without its weakness. So all it did was to make itself useful without being useful.

[@ElecManEXE]

They're longish. Sadly. I fully agree they should make them short even in games with the charge shot so that you can successfully use both types of shots to beat bosses depending on your style. Have always felt that should be the case. They do try to somewhat encourage more normal shot usage through the fact that many bosses will shoot projectiles that block your shots, so its sometimes easier to get hits with normal shots. But I can't say I'm a fan of that approach and find it more frustrating than anything.

[@Lyceaos]

lol better then the mega man voice from mga man 8

[@zsaber20]

Oh God yes

[@FancifulDancingStar]

I actually don't have a problem with Mega Man's voice in Mega Man 8 (though Dr. Light's voice was pretty awful). I honestly prefer it to this voice, where he sounds like he's 30.

[@zsaber20]

@@FancifulDancingStar what planet are you on...he's Mega "Man", not Mega Girl. Yeah he sounds like X, but it's not such a bad thing compared to MM8 voice, even Roll's voice had more bass than his in that game

[@FancifulDancingStar]

I know he's Mega "Man", but he's still a little boy. I won't deny that it might have been a little too high in MM8, but between sounding too high or too low, I'd prefer too high. But maybe that's just personal preference, I guess. I'm just tired of all these kid cartoon characters sounding so old, from Dipper Pines to the nephews in the new DuckTales. Clearly I'm apparently in the minority, and if this is what you prefer, that's fine, I guess. Everyone else does, too. But I feel I gotta voice my own disagreement about this, since deep voices for kid characters is a personal pet peeve of mine and not because I want to be a contrarian or anything, though.

[@somepizzaguy8855]

@@FancifulDancingStar Mega Man sounds like he's about 13 in this game, not 30.

[@ThrillingDuck]

I still hope we get Protoman and Bass as DLC even if they don't appear in the main campaign. A little sad about that but still super stoked on this game. Remember people - if it doesn't sell it'll be at least another decade until Capcom lets Megaman out of the cellar again lol.

[@OrangeLightning86]

No Proto Man, No Bass, only 2 Wily Castle stages?

[@Callumbuddy]

Richard Dickson There are more than two Wily Castle stages, but Ash was referring to full length stages.

[@JacobOlli]

What score did he give it

[@gabrielribeiro4020]

*Megaman 11!* To everyone that is in the comment section and loves Megaman please read this: If you really like the blue bomber and his comeback, then please, *BUY THIS* ,buy Megaman 11, buy the Legacy Collections, the cereal, the manga ,*everything* ,there is so much time we didn't had any new Megaman game and now the fans have a chance to make the Mega Buster finally shine again, we saw that the Classic Legacy Collection sold so well that they decided to make a new game, if this and the X collections sells well, our dream of having Megaman X9, Zero 5, ZX 2(or ZXAdvent 2), Battle Network 7, Starforce 4 or even a Legends 3 can become true!

[@phillipmartinez2436]

Agreed Im buying all three I didn't even know they had released this or the megaman x collection

[@folkfingerstylefreddy2154]

This is awesome for the Switch, all we need now is Kid Icarus and we’re all set!

[@audoodleletsplays4832]

This is a worthwhile way to spend my work break. Can’t wait to see what you think Ash!

[@jahbless4ever]

I love the changes in the graphics for Mega Man 11. I'm looking forward to beat this game. Bought it this morning.

[@TheWieldofrost]

12:30. At this point, Mega Man is around 30 years old... right? And in all seriousness, comparing to Mega Man's girly voice in MM8, I think this voice is a HUGE improvement.
