Today, Capcom announced Mega Man Rush Marine, a traditional side scrolling shooter for mobile phones:"Take the plunge with Mega Man® and his shape-shifting robot dog, Rush in this original side scrolling shooter set in the deep blue sea. In the year 20XX Dr. Wily sends his robot minions to the seabed in order to drill for oil causing earthquakes and destruction to the surrounding islands. Only Mega Man and the newly submersible Rush Marine have any hope of stopping Wily’s nefarious plan.
* Exciting side-scrolling aquatic shooter.
* 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.
* Fight your way through expansive levels teeming with 14 enemies and numerous hazards. "
Rush Marine is looking to release in Q3 2009.

cool. kinda looks like R-type, nice.
ReplyDeleteD: Do not want
ReplyDeleteYou know, this story is awfully similar to the story of MMIII for the Game Boy, which also involved Rock having to stop Dr. Wily from drilling oil offshore.
ReplyDeleteIt looks interesting, unique, yet somewhat gimmicky, kind of like those flying games they made for the phone a while back in Japan, although this looks a bit better. At least here you can fight some Robot Masters (perhaps new ones, although I somehow doubt it) and get weapons (maybe unique ones, since you are, after all, in a Rush Marine, which would be unique for Rush obtaining RM weapons). I am somewhat looking forward to this one...at least for now.
MMKB says that there's only nine aquatic RMs (including MegaWater S). So either they're going to cheat, or there'll be a new schmuck.
ReplyDeleteIf there is, I'll be among the first to draw them. :) Now here's hoping I can get that game (I have a cell phone that I barely use).
This can't be the E3 Mystery game....
ReplyDeletelol, Dragon I was thinking the same thing.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't the E3 game. The mistery game will be released first in Japan, this one is in USA.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awful it is! No thanks!
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd see a game with worse graphics than Megaman PC. And, yet ... here we are.
ReplyDeleteUpdate: According to Capcom’s press site, Mega Man Rush Marine is set to release Q3 of 2009, and the three above screenshots are concept images.
ReplyDelete@Gauntlet: Haha, yep. It seems to be some sort of grab-bag of previously-used 8-bit sprites, some original enemies, and colorful backgrounds. It just has an overall thrown-together look to it, like the PC games do (but less varied, since it's ALL going to be underwater!).
ReplyDeleteBy the way, although we haven't seen the Rush Marine in a while, since when is it an "all new" device? It's been around for a while (since MM3, which was 200X), so it's not a new device...This smells of some licensed nonsense, but still will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteWOW they should make a dsiware ver.
ReplyDelete:)
The grapix seem different maybe this a demo and maybe the final release is more better...
ReplyDeletethis the mystery game? cool im just kidding....
ReplyDeleteOMG you have a Blogger too? Wow. That's bazaare, especially since I'm a big fan of Rockman.
