What can it offer to make it worth $40 USD?

A meaty game.

Good game.

Level maker would be nice

NES graphics and a time machine to take me back to the 90s in a parallel universe where the Megaman series reached its 11th entry on the NES.

Never gonna happen.

Multiple playable characters, a well done hard mode that isn’t just damage scaling, and two castles

Exactly. I'd never pay 40 USD for it today either.

Be better than or as good as MM9

K

no 2d platformer is worth $40

Something that doesnt take me around an hour to beat.

If theres DLC levels, automatically into the trash.

Multiple playable characters, longer Wily Castle, level creator, and hidden stages/bosses.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks like an alternate universe Mega Man 9 for PS2/GCN? I don't even mean it in a bad way. The art style just reminds me of games from that time.

Tropical Freeze and Rayman Origins were easily worth it, but they’re also a bit longer than I expect this to be. It comes down to the quality of the game and if it incentivizes replayability

The people working on it made old captor games from Snes to GameCube.

Unlockable characters, boss rush from every mega man game in a gauntlet with a hand full if consumables you can use between fights (like all star mode from smash), 8 bit mode that you can use on the fly like the Wonder Boy remaster, multiplayer of some kind (Co op or competitive), kickass soundtrack, and someone mentioned a level editor.

Several times the amount of content as Shovel Knight and as equally high quality.

High replayability. And that usually comes from having GOOD weapons which make it fun to replay in different orders alongside good stages. Unlockable characters would add to that as well especially if they got their own brand of weapons (unlikely, but the X series did it.)

A $20 gift card.

A Capcom game without DLC. Which will never fucking happen.

Not being a megaman game.

No Constancy mode:
>Change color palettes
>Change soundtrack
>Change backgrounds and level themes
>Slightly change AI of enemies and bosses
>Slightly change how weapons work
>Switch around boss weaknesses
>Drastically change level design
>Make the game incredibly hard
>Add an optional difficulty in which everything is the same but Mega Man has no invincibility frames

Essentially have a second game desu

Fun to replay
