Mega Man (Wii U)

Mega Man, also referred to as Mega Man U to differentiate it from the original NES game, is a action-platformer game concept by Red-Verse-Writer, and the first game in a series of Mega Man games for the Nintendo Wii U and later the Nintendo Switch that follows a similar naming scheme to the Game Boy series of Mega Man games. Following a similar vein to the classic games, the game revolves around the android hero Mega Man as he once again contends to his arch-nemesis Dr. Wily, who has dispatched his revived Robot Masters and the Mega Man Killer trio to destroy Mega Man and kill his creator, Dr. Light.

Gameplay
Mega Man U 's gameplay is similar to that of a classic Mega Man platformer. The protagonist, Mega Man, is able to choose between multiple worlds to complete in whatever order is desired, and must defeat the Robot Master boss at the end of each world to gain their special weapon. Each boss is weak to another's weapon, encouraging a element of strategy while engaging them. Aside from these special weapons, which all have limited ammunition, Mega Man can also attack enemies with his arm cannon, which functions as his primary weapon and has unlimited ammunition, and can call in his dog Rush to help him perform certain tasks, such as digging up hidden items and providing a moving platform to help transverse large chasms in the stage.

Compared to the original games, Mega Man U provides a complete overhaul to the basic mechanics of the gameplay style. As opposed to simple stages, each Robot Master is given a entire world consisting of eight stages that they control over, which are individually accessed using separate hub worlds rather than a simple map screen. Stages are much more open, with the player being able to backtrack, move vertically, and find secrets around the stage, with the exit typically being placed in a much more unorthodox location compared to the simple "move to the right" style of the previous games. Mega Man can, in addition to using collected energy to power his special weapons, also summon his Robot Master allies to assist him in combat. When summoned, a Robot Master will typically take over Mega Man's role for a period of time before retuning to base as the player's control is returned to Mega Man. Like the special weapons, more Robot Master allies can only be summoned once Mega Man has defeated a certain boss - initially, only Cut Man and Guts Man can be called in, but more can be summoned once more bosses are defeated. The player can also utilize vehicles to transport certain terrains, use various jumping techniques such as a sliding jump to access new areas, and collect bolts to be used in a shop to upgrade Mega Man's weapons and abilities. There are also sixteen Robot Masters featured in the game as opposed to the usual eight, leading up to a total of twenty worlds, sixteen controlled by the Robot Masters and the remaining four controlled by Wily himself. Once all twenty worlds are completed, the game is won.
