News::Rockman Xover shows off Arcade Man footage


The strangely popular Rockman X-Over is still getting new content, despite the fact that the localization is on hold. Specifically, the retro themed Arcade Man is now a part of the game, compliments of the Mega Man boss fan contest.


The ol' retro robot himself uses attacks reminiscent of Arthur and Son Son from classic retro Capcom games. Sadly, I feel like this fairly cool concept is all but wasted on a dull game, as opposed to, oh I don't know, say a full new HD Mega Man game from Wayforward. With the right stuff, a retro themed Mega Man boss that incorporates classic mechanics could be one of the best Robot Masters in history.


For now, you can watch the underwhelming footage and just pine.
