The platforming and game mechanics are almost unchanged from the previous games in the franchise, and there are really no new twists or turns to be found in this game. Once all eight are defeated, you get to fight the mysterious final boss, whose true identity should be a secret to nobody. You begin the game by picking one of eight Robot Masters from a screen, and you travel through their individual levels to defeat them. If you've ever played a Mega Man game, you've got a pretty good idea of what to expect, as MM10 doesn't deviate much from the formula. It's classic 8-bit silliness at its finest, and there are no pretensions of deep or meaningful plots, just a blue robot and his desire to fight for everlasting peace. On top of that, they'll have to discover the source of the mysterious Roboenza virus, although Mega Man fans probably won't have a hard time figuring out that mystery. Along the way, they'll have to battle a group of eight robot masters: Blade Man, Chill Man, Commando Man, Nitro Man, Pump Man, Sheep Man, Solar Man and Strike Man. and of course, it is up to Mega Man and his brother Proto Man to get the pieces back. Indeed, he was working on a machine to fix the virus when eight robots stole the pieces of the machine. Light and claims that he isn't responsible this time. Amongst those is Mega Man's sister, Roll, who is quite ill with the robot virus.

A mysterious virus called Roboenza has been spreading among robots, causing them to malfunction. Much like its predecessor, Mega Man 10 is an homage to the simple 8-bit NES stories of old. Like it or not, Mega Man 10 is more of the same, although as anyone who played the good NES Mega Man titles can tell you, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Mega Man 10 is another entry in the franchise, and it follows almost exactly in the footsteps of its predecessor. It may have been years since the last NES Mega Man game, but the only difference between Mega Man 6 and Mega Man 9 was that I was using a Wii Remote instead of an NES controller. With Mega Man 9, Capcom went out of its way to make it feel like a forgotten Mega Man title, complete with nonsensical plotlines, hilarious box art and even screen flicker. None of the franchise relaunches have been quite as memorable as Capcom's revival of the classic Mega Man franchise. Games like Castlevania Adventure: The Rebirth or Contra 4 feel like forgotten Super Nintendo games, and while those franchises have had plenty of evolution since the '90s, there is still something engrossing and fun about the simple old-fashioned games that newer titles can't quite capture. As someone who grew up with the NES and Super NES, it's rather bizarre to witness franchises seemingly return to the days of my childhood.
