We now know what Mega Man Universe is!

Since it was announced in July, Capcom has been pretty silent as to what we should expect from their upcoming title Mega Man Universe. After a teaser trailer — embedded after the break below — showing some of the company’s characters in a crossover battle, we have finally been given a real gameplay trailer to sink our teeth into.

As you can tell from the video above, the game is a brand new sidescrolling Mega Man title. Ditching the 8-bit, the blue bomber is featured as a 3D drawn figure that will navigate through expansive worlds with familiar foes. The trailer also confirms why we saw some other notable Capcom characters in the teaser trailer. It’s because they are all (likely) in this game as well! The new trailer confirms Ryu as a playable character, which makes Mega Man Universe sound like a very attractive offering.

What do you think about the game so far?

    It looks good & the Idea of using other Capcom characters in the megaman universe sounds fun, but doesn't the megaman franchise need a reboot instead of just improved graphics & gimmicks. I'm all for leaving side scrolling games alone like Metroid or castlevania but both of those games added RPG type elements to there side scrolling adventures to improved the game play & make it more interesting. The megaman series seems content with putting the same playing style from megaman 1 over & over again with different end bosses. They did do some different things with Legends & Battle Network but I think megaman needs better changes than that. I personally would have liked to see megaman in a Symphony of the Night type castle with armor upgrades, Contra-like P shooter upgrades & obviously classic mega man boss fights to get there powers. Maybe I'm the only one looking for this, but I'll continue to cross my fingers that my dream will some day come true.

    This looks absolutely horrible. Mega Man has been bastardized.

      I theory I like it,…but the more I watch the gameplay footage, the more I dislike it. Mega Man's face is weird,… he looks like a cranky old man.
