A new 'Mega Man' game is being made for the first time in nearly 10 years - and it looks rad

And yes — that is Rush making another appearance, this time as a springboard for Mega Man to reach high up areas. Thanks Rush!

In this instance, Mega Man's power is being able to summon blocks from the sky. As they fall down, they knock out enemies and break stuff in Mega Man's way. It looks pretty sweet in action, like Mega Man's some kinda crazy wizard.

The charged shot was first introduced in "Mega Man 4" — like the slide, it was absent in the last two "Mega Man" games. It's repeatedly used in the game's first trailer, both to destroy enemies and to break apart pieces of the level itself.

"Mega Man 11" is seemingly cherry picking elements from the entire series. Though the slide was missing from the last two main series "Mega Man" games, it's apparently returning in "Mega Man 11." 

Is this a miniboss? Is this a full on end-level boss? That's not clear! My guess is it's a miniboss, given the door on the right side — but I could be wrong! 

Either way, this boss fight looks like so many before it. Memorization is key, as are quick reactions. The art style really stands out here, blending a shinier, softer version of "Mega Man" with an almost cel-shaded look (think: comic books). 

Longtime "Mega Man" fans may've already spotted a mess of series callbacks, from Rush the robot dog to enemy Mets (the guys in construction hats). 

But, as you can see above from the guy with the pickaxe, even the lowly Met has evolved into a new character. The same can be said for the art style of energy/ammo pick-ups, as you can see behind the Met above (on the crate). 

A good example of what Capcom is talking about can be seen above where the ladder is — it's seemingly set back into the screen. The enemy next to the ladder, hiding under his construction helmet, is another good example. 

It's a subtle difference, but it makes the levels look far more rich than they already did in previous games.
