First gameplay footage of Mega Man Universe (PSN / XBLA)

Back in July when Capcom teased Mega Man Universe for the PSN and XBLA, creator Kenji Infanue promised the game would (and I quote the quote here):

break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be.

After seeing that footage… well, I’m not so sure I believe that hyperbole. It looks pretty much like every other Mega Man game but with some fancy 2D/3D mixture.

Playing as Ryu doesn’t really feel like breaking the mold, rather a series that’s possibly running out of ideas…

Still, if there’s one man who knows how to do it MegaMan game it’s Inafune and after watching that video you can’t doubt his enthusiasm!
