Mega Man: Rush Marine
A challenger approaches! Capcom just released a new 2D Mega Man game with little warning or pre-promotion. It's a cellphone game called Mega Man: Rush Marine that you can probably buy on your phone right now. It's not available for iPhone and won't be available for Blackberry or Windows Mobile phones until 2010.
You play as Mega Man inside Rush Marine and most of the game is basically a forced-scrolling shooter. The game features 10 stages, consisting of an intro stage, 8 robot masters, and a final stage. A lot of the graphics are recycled from previous games; the 'robot masters' are actually "big aquatic robot animals" and not new humanoid robot master characters. But they still have strengths and weaknesses and give you new powers.
The game's press release reads as follows:
CAPCOM®'S BLUE BOMBER TAKES THE PLUNGE WITH THE LAUNCH OF MEGA MAN®: RUSH MARINE FOR MOBILESounds interesting, I wish I could play it! For some reason I loved the (admittedly clunky) Mega Man II application on my old non-iPhone phone.
LOS ANGELES - December 7, 2009 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today released Mega Man®: Rush Marine, an original Mega Man adventure designed for the mobile platform. In this side-scrolling shooter set in the deep blue sea, players take control of Mega Man and his shape-shifting robot dog, Rush, as they attempt to stop Dr. Wily and his robot minions from destroying the seabed.
Fight your way through expansive levels teeming with 14 enemies and numerous hazards. Explore three aquatic environments including Shallow Water, Volcanic Reef and Deep Water. Battle through ten levels and defeat as many robot masters, each with a unique weapon that you can capture and use for good.
Mega Man: Rush Marine is currently available for standard BREW and Java devices throughout North America and is expected to release on Windows Mobile and Blackberry in early 2010.
