A plague of Roboenza is sweeping the globe, making robots everywhere fall ill. Once again finding inspiration in the 8-bit days of the Blue Bomber's career, developer Inti Creates has stuck pretty close to the formula for this tenth Mega-adventure. So it was a shock to no one to see Capcom go back to the Mega-well with Mega Man 10.
