The Blue Bomber is back! Capcom sidelined Mega Man when series producer and co-creator Keiji Inafune left the company in late 2010, but it seems the passage of time, and success of recent in-house-developed titles like Resident Evil 7 and Monster Hunter: World, has prompted a change of heart. Capcom missed the franchise’s 30th anniversary last year, but they’re making up for it this year with Mega Man 11.

Mega Man 11 would appear to be exactly what fans have been begging for – a continuation of the original series that began on the NES, featuring traditional run-and-gun gameplay and eight themed stages you can tackle in any order, as well as a handful of additions, like the new Double Gear system. Of course, sometimes first impressions can be deceiving. Is this the comeback Mega Man truly deserves, or will it leave fans feeling blue?
