Hi, I'm a former game journalist, but even though I don't do that professionally anymore, I still have, you know, opinions.One of those opinions is that while I thoroughly enjoy games on Nintendo platforms, there are a lot of them that you have to wade through to get to the good stuff. So many, in fact, that there aren't too many reviews of some of them.With this in mind, I'll be contributing my own reviews and mini-reviews of these games to this subreddit so anyone who's curious can have something more to judge the quality of these games and try to weed out the diamonds from the rough.And just to be clear, I'm not paid by anyone, I'm not making any money off of this. I'm just doing this because I wanna'. Genre: Action-PlatformerPlayers: 1.Review:Mega Man 11 is an Action-Platformer that's the latest in the long-running series that has changed a lot over the years, but has generally stuck with the same formula: You are a peacekeeping robot out to take on eight various enemy robots (selecting from four at a time in Mega Man 7 and 8), each with their own elemental theme and thematically-appropriate stage to traverse before you can reach them.
Upon defeating one of them, you'll get a version of their weapon that you can swap to, with a large part of the strategy of these games being learning which order to play the game's stages, since each robot is weak to one of the others' weapons. Upon defeating them, you'll challenge a final gauntlet of difficult stages and bosses before taking on the mastermind behind the threat (usually the nefarious Dr. Wily).The Mega Man series has gone through multiple “phases” over its lifetime. There was the “classic” phase, which I would say encompasses Mega Man 1-4, with some of the best and definitely the most iconic games in the series.
There was the “samey” phase, encompassing Mega Man 5-6, where people started feeling like these games were running out of ideas and becoming repetitive. There was the “post-NES” phase, encompassing Mega Man 7-8, when Capcom was trying to figure out what the series would become after the apathy people had for recent entries and with the new power afforded by newer platforms.
The blue bomber is back! That's right, Mega Man 11 is now out for all major consoles, so you can get your classic, side-scrolling platformer fix no matter what console.
Of course, the Nintendo Switch version has the added benefit of amiibos, Nintendo's plastic collectible figurines that are compatible with their associated game. They're not only solid collectibles, but they unlock additional in-game content and benefits.
Nintendo Switch Features Features Mega Man returns! The newest entry in this iconic series blends classic, challenging 2D platforming action with a fresh new visual style. The new Double Gear system boosts Mega Man's speed and power for a new twist to the satisfying gameplay the series is known for.
Mega Man 11 is another title that has amiibo support. Today, we're covering all of the amiibo that you can use with Mega Man 11, as well as what their bonuses are.
What does scanning amiibo get you in Mega Man 11?
If you have the Mega Man amiibo, either Mega Man 11 or Super Smash Bros. Series, you'll get a guaranteed 1-Up from it.
Every other amiibo gives you a random chance at the following:
- Small energy refill
- Large energy refill
- Small weapon refill
- Large weapon refill
- 1-Up
How many times can you scan amiibo per day?
Each amiibo can be scanned once a day, and up to 20 amiibo in total can be scanned per day.
If you want to scan more than 20 a day, you'll need to take your Nintendo Switch offline and then set the clock to the next calendar day (24 hours from your last scan). This tricks the system into thinking it's tomorrow and you can scan more amiibo to your heart's content.
