Do not confuse this with Megaman X
Mega Man 10, known in Japan as Rockman 10: Uchū kara no Kyōi!! (ロックマン10 宇宙からの脅威!!, Rokkuman 10: Uchū kara no Kyōi!!?, lit. "Rockman 10: Threat From Outer Space!!"),[2] is the tenth main entry of the classic Mega Man series (not including Mega Man & Bass). Like its predecessor, Mega Man 9, it is a downloadable title for the same services -- WiiWare, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade - and is based on the 8-bit look and feel of the NES titles.
A robotic illness known as Roboenza starts infecting robots, causing them to malfunction, with Roll becoming one of the victims. A month following the outbreak, most of the infected robots go berserk and attempt to take over the world. Dr. Wily comes to Mega Man and Dr. Light, claiming that he was building a machine making medicine to cure the disease before one of the infected robots stole it. Reluctantly, Mega Man decides to help Dr. Wily retrieve the machine and soon runs into Proto Man, who decides to join him. Meanwhile, Bass sets out on his own to challenge these new robots to prove that he's the strongest. Mega Man halfway finishes his journey when Dr. Wily completes a prototype antidote, and it is given to Roll. After all eight robot masters are defeated, Mega Man himself appears to have caught Roboenza, making it look like all is lost once Dr. Wily appears on television and reveals that he created the virus, and only developed a cure so he could bribe all the infected robots into coming to work for him. After this, Roll gives Mega Man her medicine, saying she had saved it in case "a really sick robot was brought in." Mega Man reluctantly takes Roll's medicine so that he can go defeat Wily and bring back enough medicine for everyone.[3][4]. During the fortress raid, Proto Man comes down with Roboenza as well, only to be saved by Mega Man who acquired an extra sample of the cure. A similar incident happens to Bass, the difference being that it's Treble who provides him a cure.
Mega Man 10 has three playable characters: Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass (via downloadable content). The Robot Masters in the game are Sheep Man, Commando Man, Blade Man, Strike Man, Solar Man, Chill Man, Nitro Man, and Pump Man.[5][6][7] An easy mode is also included in the game. Similar to a feature offered in Mega Man Powered Up, this option alters levels, such as placing platforms over spike pits, and decreases AI and damage done to Mega Man, as well as adding yashichis that restore health during certain parts of the level. Also similarly to Powered Up, there is a Challenge mode where players can practice their skills in 88 mini-stages, which typically require Mega Man to reach a goal or defeat an enemy. Many of these challenges require Mega Man to complete the stage unharmed to receive full credit, a gold crown, for the challenge, though simply completing the stage awards a silver crown. Returning features from the previous game include an in-between-level item shop and downloadable content.[8] Players can also cycle through their available weapons during gameplay without needing to switch to the weapons menu.
According to the operations guide for the WiiWare version of the game and Nintendo.com[10][11], downloadable content for the WiiWare version became available for purchase on April 5 and April 26 in North America. On April 5, the ability to play as Bass was added for 200 Wii Points, and Special Stage 1, a special level based on Enker's level in Mega Man in Dr. Wily's Revenge with Enker as the boss, was added for 100 Wii Points. On April 26, an endless stage similar to that included in Mega Man 9 was added for 300 Wii Points in addition to Special Stages 2 and 3, with Punk from Mega Man III and Ballade from Mega Man IV as bosses, for 100 Wii Points each. The manual also indicates that Bass will not be compatible with challenges or rankings. If any of the bosses from the Special Stages are defeated, their master weapons become available for use in all other modes of the game, but only by Mega Man. If you beat the game (PS3 version), you get a shirt to use in PlayStation Home.
The game's music was composed by Ippo Yamada, Ryo Kawakami, Hiroki Isogai, Yu Shimoda, Manami Matsumae, Yasuaki Fujita, Minae Fujii, Mari Yamaguchi, Yuko Takehara, Makoto Tomozawa, Akari Kaida and Shusaku Uchiyama.[12] Two official soundtrack albums were released. Rockman 10 Original Soundtrack is the first of two albums to be made. It was released March 24, 2010 by Inti Creates.[13] The album contains the music from the original game itself. The second is Rockman 10 Image Soundtrack, which contains remixes of the songs from the game. The 2nd album was released on April 30, 2010.
