Mega Man isn’t too bad difficulty-wise once you get in the groove of them. They’re never really unfairly difficult imo.

It'll be a 14nm process Tegra x1 with a bigger screen, (due to shrinking the bezels) and longer battery life (from the die shrink) without Nintendo actually doing anything.
Maybe they'll be generous, and double the internal storage too.

This. Once you kill your first robot master they get a lot easier. They absolutely feel like a brick wall until that though, even if you grew up with them.

A cheaper handheld only “Switch” makes more sense since 3DS will surely be dead by then and it’ll be just in time for the new core Pokémon but I really hope it’s a Switch Pro.

I still wouldn’t expect it to match a PS4 but it would be nice to get a little power jump.

I could see them selling the Switch revision without the dock to make the price tag more attractive as that's 1.) a good option for someone who anticipates using it exclusively in handheld and 2.) an easier way to sell a second Switch to a household that already has one, but I really doubt they're going to ditch the Switch's current form factor for whatever a "handheld only" version would entail -- The Switch is like... the only financially successful application of modular function in consumer electronics, it'd be silly to throw that away (I am totally ready and expecting to watch Nintendo throw away good things).

To be fair, one of them is literally a brick wall. (Spoilers for a two-day-old game)

You uh, must not have played many C64 games because most of them were vastly ruder than Mega Man.

The boss that’s just those lasers on the walls is kinda meh since you only have enough crash bombs to not gently caress up once. It’s fine though once you know.

Dunno. The games I remember playing was stuff like Zac McKracken, IK+, Bubble Bobble, Defender of the Crown, Sim City, Elite, Microprose Soccer, Giana Sisters, Leader Board, California/Summer/Winter/World Games, Skate or Die, Test Drive, Barbarian etc. I remember Wonderboy being pretty tough though.

I have no idea why they did this. The first boss you are supposed to fight is the worst boss with the worst level. Even worse, that’s the level they chose for the demo. The rest of the game is so much better that it’s feels like one team did the whole game, and one team did Block Man and his level.

Bounce man’s stage was one of the coolest Mega Man stages I’ve ever played.

You can fight any boss first. There's no obvious first one. Acid Man's probably got the most useful weapon for playing defensively.

What do you mean by "the first boss you are supposed to fight"? It's a mega Man game, you can pick whatever boss you want first. I started with Tundra Man, died in the level, then went to Bounce man, who I beat, then to Voltage/Shock/Jolt man whatever the gently caress his name is.

Fair enough, I don't think I've ever managed to beat QuickMan before FlashMan in the like 25 years I've been playing that drat game. I have no goddamn idea how people even get past the lasers without it.

Flashman is also a chump that you can beat easily with just the buster, but he's my favorite robot master in the game and has a cool looking stage.
