Azure Striker Gunvolt

As part of this weekend's Japanese BitSummit game festival, the father of Mega Man revealed his next game: A side-scrolling action game called Azure Striker Gunvolt.

The game bears a strong resemblance to the 16-bit Mega Man Zero series, which isn't surprising since it's a collaboration with developer Initi Creates, but Gunvolt adds a new set of characters and some original gameplay embellishments (which you can check out in the trailer below). The game will be a downloadable title for 3DS, although there was not information on a release date or confirmation that the game would come to the West.​

That looks straight-up like Crossdresser Cloud's hair.

Also looks pretty cool.

Is he starting another game because he got sued [by Capcom] for making Mighty No. 9?

And why doesn't Azure have a sword? That should be 'standard issue' at this point.

Inafune also working on another 3DS game called Kaio: King of Pirates which it's release in Japansometime in 2014 and release dates for other territories other than Japan are to be announced.

They didn't sued Kamiya-san's Bayonetta and you think Mighty No.9 it's a rip-off?

I'm just talking about a rumor I had heard. I never said it was a ripoff. I encourage more MegaMan-type games out there, especially if they use the "Metroidvania" world structure to enhance gameplay.
