This week’s Nintendo Direct was abruptly canceled in respect to the victims of the recent Hokkaido earthquake in Japan. However, it looks like some of the planned announcements are still going through. Specifically, a Mega Man 11 demo is now available on the Nintendo Switch. The demos for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will go live tomorrow.

Capcom announced the news over its latest blog post. In the demo, players can choose from multiple difficulty levels. They will play as the titular Mega Man, assisted by his trusty robot dog Rush. The demo’s level is Block Man’s stage, with a hand-drawn, pyramid environment to explore. As they play through the stage, players can test out Mega Man 11’s new Double Gear system, as well as various boss weapons against Block Man.

• PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FIRST! THANK YOU AND ENJOY! Mega Man 11 Playlist: It's been so long since I've played a Mega Man game. I really like how this game plays, tbh. It's responsive.
• Free Mega Man 11 demo blasts onto digital storefronts September 06, 2018 - 0 comments: A free Mega Man 11 demo is now available on the Nintendo eShop, Capcom announced today in a quick press release. The demo will also be available tomorrow, September 7, on the PlayStation Store and on the Xbox marketplace.
• It was so well received that it spawned a sequel in, you guessed it, Mega Man 10, leading to the more recent Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, which came to the three consoles and PC. Back in December, Capcom unveiled a trailer for Mega Man 11, and now you can get your mits on the Blue Bomber and play through the Block Man level.

That’s not all, though. Fans who defeat Block Man in the demo will contribute to a Bust Block Man community challenge. For every time players defeat this boss, they can share their victory over on social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. This will chip away at a virtual statue of Block Man that Capcom has set up. Once this statue is completely destroyed, everyone who has played the demo will receive a set of single-used items that can be redeemed in the retail version.

New Robot Master Revealed

Mega Man is back! The newest entry in this iconic series blends classic, challenging 2D platforming action with a fresh new visual style. The new Double Gear system boosts Mega Man's speed and power for a new twist to the satisfying gameplay the series is known for.

Besides that, Capcom has also revealed a new Robot Master that will appear in Mega Man 11. Bounce Man is a former exercise instructor who has made an indoor wonderland as his own personal playground. The Boing-Boing Park that players will traverse will come with its own host of unique obstacles.

Once at Bounce Man’s chamber, the villain himself will show off his skills to Mega Man. This includes tumbling around the room, rebounding off walls, and crashing into the blue bomber. As the fight goes on, he will start using his Speed Gear to move at even faster speeds.

After being defeated, Bounce Man will drop the Bounce Ball weapon which, once equipped, will allow Mega Man to fire springy shots that damage enemies they touch.

Mega Man 11 launches for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on 2nd October 2018.

Even though this week’s Nintendo Direct was delayed due to weather conditions in Japan, it appears that some of what was planned for it is making the rounds. In this particular case, a demo for Mega Man 11, available now for Nintendo’s platform.
Capcom confirmed the news just moments ago, and also said that the demo will also debut on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC tomorrow.

This demo was hinted at in the past, but now that it’s official, it’ll give you a good opportunity to take the game for a test drive before it arrives next month.

“In the demo, players can choose from multiple difficulty levels before stepping into the boots of Mega Man himself with robot dog Rush by his side. In a stunningly hand-drawn, technically advanced pyramid environment, players are encouraged to use various tools including the new Double Gear system and various boss weapons to bust Block Man and absorb his powers,” the company noted in its press release.

In addition, “fans who take on Block Man in the free Mega Man 11 demo will contribute to the ‘Bust Block Man’ community challenge for a chance to receive a set of single-use items that can be redeemed in the retail version of the game. Fans who defeat Block Man can display their victory using the #BustBlockMan hashtag on social media and then stay tuned to official Mega Man social channels to check out the progress as the community works together to chip away at Block Man!”

On top of that, however, Capcom has also revealed a new Robot Master in the form of Bounce Man, whom you can see below. According to the Capcom-Unity blog, this former exercise instructor will stretch Mega Man to his limits in Boing-Boing Park, where he’ll have to overcome a number of obstacles before coming face to face with the bouncy king himself!

“Once you’ve made the final climb to Bounce Man’s chamber, he’s all ready to show off his skills to a new playmate. As his name might suggest, Bounce Man likes to tumble around the room, rebounding off the walls before crashing into Mega Man. He still seems a bit unaware that he’s supposed to be a force for evil, but nevertheless uses the Speed Gear to bounce around at high speed as the fight goes on. Utilizing your own Speed Gear can make life a bit easier, and a solid shot from the Power Gear can turn the tide in your favor – though the extreme force might have unintended consequences on Bounce Man’s systems!”
