Capcom's favourite (well, maybe second or third favourite) son Mega Man has arrived on iOS in a brand new game, calledÂ
Mega Man Xover.
Actually, it's a little more complicated than that.
The game has in fact landed on the
Japanese App Store - there's no news of a UK release just yet. Oh, and it's not called
Mega Man Xover either
.Allow us to explain. Over in Japan, Mega Man is known as Rockman - and as that's his country of birth, who are we to argue that ours is right? So, this new game is actually called
Rockman Xover in the land of the rising sun.
Still, it's the same game that Capcom announced back in August to celebrate the identity-challenged robotic one's upcomingÂ
25th anniversary.
As it turns out, this appears to mean an endless runner mixed in with card-battling RPG elements. Mega Man legs it from left to right, leaving you to jump and shoot, while boss battles take on a turn-based flavour.
From what we can gather you also collect cards that can be used to merge the abilities of various characters from
Mega Man history to form the ultimate Mega Man warrior.
It all sounds rather quirky. We're intrigued to see how it plays, so hopefully we'll have news of a Western release soon.
