IGN (http://wii.ign.com/articles/107/1070442p1.html) has put up their own preview of Mega Man well in time before the game will come out in March, along with 5 new video clips to prepare everyone for the new challenge ahead.
A few things to mention from their preview and video coverage:
- All robot masters are showing up on the Boss Intro screen, and the one that's picked will jump down to the center with their own animated pose and gesture.
- There are Met Slug enemies that will crawl around and hide in their helmets (as long as they like) until they feel like firing purple bullets that sticks on to you and make it a bit harder for you to start walking/running (almost like you're skid-walking).
- The ice blocks on Chill Man's stage can be shot or jumped on. Just step on them twice and they will break. This will leave you thinking what path to take further in the stage, where you will also find lots of spikes to avoid.
- The mid-boss in Blade Man's stage can be taken care of by waiting for green platforms that launches from the center of the fortress, jump on them and then shoot the eyes on the left and right side of the fortress. Take care of the eyes in the center first for an easier fight.
- It's safe to say that you should be patient enough to walk on the conveyor belts on Sheep Man's stage long enough to make sure the little dots in the flip platforms are filled up completely. Then you get more time to jump on them and get further in the stage.
- It's been mentioned that the Time Attack Mode shows 8 extra stages besides the 8 Robot Master stages, which could mean there are either more Castle stages than before, DLC stages, or both.
- There are 88 specially-designed challenges in the game compared to Mega Man 9's 50 challenges. This might include the Gold and Silver challenges shown on the Tutorial screens from the past news at Capcom Unity.
- If you have been wondering about Sheep Man's and Commando Man's stage themes in the past, you could very clearly hear them before in Capcom's Rockman Birthday Live Webcast last year (http://lol.rockmanpm.com/R10%20Commando%20Man%20Live%20Webcast.mp3). If you're still unsure, you can now hear Sheep Man's stage theme even more clear on IGN's new video coverage.
- Capcom Unity has shown the Intro to the game before in the CES 2010 event a while back (http://www.ustream.tv/user/capcomunity), but now you can see it fully in IGN's video coverage.
