Mega Man 10

Mega Man 10 is a upcoming game from the original Mega Man series announced in issue 250 of Nintendo Power. Not much is known about the game at the moment.

Story
In the year 20XX, an outbreak of a robotic-virus known as the "Robotenza" runs rampart across the globe. Roll becomes infected with the virus, and Rock is forced to go to Dr. Wily for a cure, believing him to be responsible. However, amidst all the chaos, eight new Robot Masters surface, each holding a key to the cure...

New Features
Beginning the game, Mega Man 10 will have something similar to the Mega Man X games. Players will be able to start off with one of multiple characters, each with their own unique attributes which could potentially add replay value. Playable characters include:


 * Mega Man
 * Proto Man
 * Bass (currently rumored as DLC)

Bosses
Currently, the only new Robot Masters known are Sheep Man and Commando Man. Two of the other new Robot Masters are speculated to be fire and ice themed.

Trivia

 * Aside from Bass' appearance in Rockman Battle & Fighters and his small cameo in Mega Man 9, if the rumor turns out to be true, this game will mark his first official 8-bit appearance.
 * This is the only game in the classic Mega Man series (aside from Mega Man: Powered Up) to feature an easy difficulty setting.
 * Robotenza, a virus that affects robots, may be a precursor to the Maverick Virus. Its name seems to be a parody of the influenza virus.
