Capcom has announced three of the Blue Bomber’s new enemies in the upcoming, retro-spectacular Mega Man 9 for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and WiiWare.
The themes of these robotic menaces might sound familiar to anyone who has played past Mega Man games, but I get the feeling that is exactly what Capcom is aiming for.
Here are the official descriptions, followed by screen shots of the bosses in action:
Concrete Man:
Created to construct a dam, Concrete man can actually design a dam and supervise its entire construction. He has stubborn a stubborn personality and will tell off any lazy robots.
Weapon: Concrete Shot – Concrete shot creates a temporary foothold as soon as it touches the ground. It can also be used to stop enemies in their tracks.
Tornado Man:
Works for the Weather Manipulation Office to help control and stop the formation of large storms all over the world.
Weapon: Tornado Blow – Tornado Blow launches a huge tornado that covers the entire game area. Heavy enemies will take damage, but lighter ones will be blown entirely off-screen.
Magma Man:
Magma Man serves as the safety control robot at a large geothermal power plant. He is able to work in incredibly hot environments and loves to visit hot spas.
Weapon: Magma Bazooka – Magma Bazooka shoots a cluster of fireballs that spread out after launching. It can also be charged by holding down the shot button.
Capcom plans to divulge more information as we draw nearer to the game’s release this fall.
