Rumor: More Mega Man 10 Details (Small Update)
Since yesterday’s reveal of Mega Man 10, some interesting new information has come to light… maybe.
As it so happens, November 21st saw The Fanboy Review post a rumor about this very game. And as it so happens, many of the details given were spot-on. You can read how that breaks down here.
But amidst what was confirmed by the Nintendo Power preview were some other details. Now, these remain unconfirmed, but seem as though they could possibly be legit in light of the other evidence. Nonetheless, they remain a rumor until we have more concrete confirmation of their validity.
The first item of note is additional story details:
The ‘story’ is basically as such: Robots get a virus that makes them sick. Roll catches it, Mega Man has to get Wily’s help to find a cure (Wily claims he has nothing to do with it, but… yeah), and the 8 bosses each hold part of the cure.
If true, that could mean that Roll is on the outs as a playable character; we don’t want her running around sick, after all.
So, if she’s out, then who’s in? Well, there’s one other popular choice:
There will be DLC to play as Bass. His gameplay will be based on how he played in Mega Man & Bass.
Nintendo Power did mention a third playable character, but never said (that we saw) how he might be accessible.
And finally, the big one:
…it will be two players. No idea if story mode will be two people, or if there will be some specialized two player mode though.
Is this true? We’ll find out soon enough, I imagine. After all, there are still parts of the Nintendo Power article we’ve yet to see. With any luck, my copy will arrive before the end of the week and we’ll get some answers.
Edit: Since everyone seems to run to other sites about it, I figure I might as well include this little tidbit from the above source:
It will have no relation to Mega Man X (just pointing this out, since some people might think they might choose to do that with X equating to 10.)
I figured it went without saying. Whoops.

OMFG! A multiplayer! *cross his fingers for story multiplayer mode and…*
FAP FAP FAP!!!
…two-player? If that happens I will shed tears of joy. If it allows for classic gameplay for two players (two people on the usual screen, at once) that’d be the most awesome thing ever. A difficult feat to pull off, but a great one.
Here’s to hoping.
Now THAT’S interesting!
…I am going to go ahead and call shenanigans on the last statement. A co-op mode would be nice, but a two-player story mode? I doubt it…
It’ll be New Super Mario Bros all over again! I mean that in the best way possible. I can see two people F*ing each other over all day, I love that about mario.
This is a lot of fantastic information. The real question is, will you guys at the MMN host a contest to get this game like you did for 9?!
I must say though I am a bit worried. Sheep Man? I don’t know how I feel about that. I will say that his design looks okay, that is perhaps his saving grace. Thunder Wool is fairly decent as well, so a lightning sheep. Oh Capcom…please maintain your originality! To many Megaman X games brought about some of the weirdest boss names to date. Now here is the classic series already 1 game ahead of the x series.
I may be worried for nothing though. I didn’t think Hornet Man sounded to decent either, then he ends up being a fine looking boss (if a bit easy) and having some of the best stage music to boot.
Well the hope of Roll being play-able just exploded. Hopefully it’ll be either a new character at least
Roll with a virus. Hmm, this might possibly lead to explain how the Classic Rock we know became the X of the X series. So far we can only piece together a few things after watching the sealing of Mega Man from Maverick Hunter X, you know Dr. Light and the capsule. Maybe Mega Man 10 will explain what happened to everyone before the X series, Protoman, Bass, Roll, Wily, Auto, Tango, Beat, Eddie and everyone else.
Mirahsan2: Just like to point out something to you and all you linkist out there that 10 will be just like 9, in that “It will have no relation to Mega Man X”. (This comes courtesy of GoNintendo.com, Protodude’s Rockman Corner, and MegamanX9.com) Of course when they say no relation to Mega Man X, I think they mean NO RE-LA-TI-ON.
Multiplayer? Reminds me of Power Battles, but this time with full levels. This sounds ridiculously cool, not to mention fun!
Megaman + Swine Flu= Megaman 10 and viruses
Another cruel shenanigan.
Other playable character….hmmm….Duo, anyone?
Must
Be
BASS.
*dies*
“Hmm, this might possibly lead to explain how the Classic Rock we know became the X of the X series.”
Rock doesn’t become X; they are two separate entities.
This game might yet be saved if it is confirmed multiplayer will be in. Now its all about how well it’s implemented. Having cooperative play for a 2d side scroller is challenging. Perhaps it will be a mode in which you and a friend(s) must eliminate all enemies in a stage that doesnt have a scrolling camera and is set in place, but with the camera zoomed out a bit and with split screen. I dont know. But whatever it is I sincerely hope it blows my mind away.
Ever thought it might be an entirely unique character? Or maybe Policeman for those who really want a challange (has to reload his six shooter, has incredibly weak armor because he’s just a cop bot)
Well, we might as well just say the 3rd guy is Bass.
So, co-op? How will they deal with the weapon select menu?
@Robo-Ky: You’re able to fap AND cross your fingers at the same time? You sir, are a talented man.
Adam: Sick would be a more accurate description.
Hope this hype wont dissapoint like OSS.
Don’t think the co-op thing is true, I hope it is, but it would be ridiculously tough to pull off and get good gameplay
Ummmm… Bass is the SECOND character.
I think the third one is Protoman. >_>
Multiplayer is such a great idea for this, I think. I guess Capcom knew that many would complain about more of the same nowadays, regarding the 8-bit style. It also seems they’re riding on the success of NSMBW? Either way, the possibility of multiplayer is very good news.
That’s sad, doesn’t that remind you of the Swine-flu anyone?
Is keiji really out of ideas and creativity? Where is the pride of Rockman1~8?
Rockman9 was so for the fans and now 10? I miss Rockman’s originality.
The way I see it, this story is just giving some pretense to the MMX games. With what being said about the story and the animalistic robot masters. As far as the third character is concerned my guess is Duo. Though Bass is more than obvious of course.
…Just a note for those who believe that Bass is a shoe-in for the third character:
Remember all of the hype for Bass as the extra boss of Mega Man 9′s special stage? Remember how that turned out? Yeah.
@Kryin
Yes, because as we all know, swine flu was the first epidemic in human history (sarcasm).
@shadowblaze66
Snake Man? Toad Man? Centaur Man? Tengu Man? (The last two are mythological, but still).
TrebleBass: How do you figure that? Nintendo Power confirmed Proto Man already, while the third is unknown.
–LBD “Nytetrayn”
Is it possible that the third character is Zero? He has to tie back to this series somehow, Wily created him. Although, it would be weird to have two red colored characters….
If the multiplayer in this game just amounts to “race to the end of the stage” crap from the Mega Man Zero games, I will be majorly pissed.
@ZPunk
It’s possible, but I still think highly unlikely. Most likely Bass or Duo.
its silly that people is still hoping for a game that connects the classic series with the X series
I hope Bass isn’t the third character. I like him, but just prefer to fight him as a boss. I don’t care for Duo though, so I’m hoping for a new character. I’m positive it won’t happen, but I suppose there is a chance they could surprise us.
