Mega Man ZX Advent reinvents the Blue Bomber @ Gaming Target

News: More Mega Man, are you surprised?

Capcom has announced they are bringing Mega Man ZX Advent to the DS this October.

The sequel to last year's fast forward of the Mega Man storyline, ZX Advent follows two heroes, Grey and Ashe, "on two separate but intertwining adventures as they search for answers amidst a chaotic war between humans and robots."

While Capcom has promised a reinvention for the Blue Bomber with ZX Advent, the description sounds like standard issue Mega Man to me:

The title takes full advantage of the Nintendo DS features to enhance the action-packed gameplay and story line of the popular series. A dynamic УBiometalФ system is central to gameplay, allowing players the ability to change into several forms, including eight bosses, each with a variety of unique abilities and powers. With a touch of the Nintendo DS screen, players can easily switch back and forth between the Biometal and Map navigation screens. Bosses can be fought in several different ways, testing players' skills and rewarding them with nearly 24 different items depending on how they take on a boss. Further gameplay options are available as players explore and open up new areas of the map.

УThe team listened to fan feedback to design a game that would appeal to Mega Man fans old and new,Ф said Jack Symon, director, brand marketing, Capcom Entertainment. УIt was evident that we needed to create a game that is uniquely made for the Nintendo DS while still delivering a great Mega Man action game.Ф
