Mega Man 9 boss details: Magma Man, Tornado Man, Concrete Man
Bloom effects? Who needs those? Mega Man 9‘s is all about the 8-bit action, and Capcom has released a load of screenshots and info about three of the rampaging robot bosses Mega Man will have to take down in this XBLA, PSN, and Wiiware title. Pretty 2D images available in the full article.
Has Dr. Light really turned to the dark side? Well, that’s what Dr. Wily tells the whole world in Mega Man 9, the latest entry in the long-running action platformer series. When robots – including Dr. Light’s own creations – go on a rampage all over the world, it’s up to Mega Man and clear Dr. Light’s name.
Here are just three of the robot bosses Mega Man has to face:
Concrete Man:
Created to construct a dam, Concrete man can actually design a dam and supervise its entire construction. He has a stubborn personality and will tell off any lazy robots.
Weapon: Concrete Shot
Concrete shot creates a temporary foothold as soon as it touches the ground. It can also be used to stop enemies in their tracks.
Tornado Man:
Works for the Weather Manipulation Office to help control and stop the formation of large storms all over the world.
Weapon: Tornado Blow
Tornado Blow launches a huge tornado that covers the entire game area. Heavy enemies will take damage, but lighter ones will be blown entirely off-screen.
Magma Man:
Magma Man serves as the safety control robot at a large geothermal power plant. He is able to work in incredibly hot environments and loves to visit hot spas.
Weapon: Magma Bazooka
Magma Bazooka shoots a cluster of fireballs that spread out after launching. It can also be charged by holding down the shot button.
That’s not all. We also have a huge helping of screenshots showing off Mega Man 9‘s decidedly old school 8-bit look. Check ’em out below. Mega Man 9 is slated for release on Wiiware, XBLA, and PSN.
