Mega Man 11 Demo Available Now, Bounce Man Revealed

Nintendo announced today that gamers can try Mega Man 11 before its October 2nd release with the new free demo that launches today, and they also revealed a new Robot Master named Bounce Man.

Take on the formidable, and rather smug, Block Man in this new free downloadable demo, available now on Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X.

Check out the third trailer of Mega Man 11, featuring some gameplay footage and the new boss enemy, Bounce Man:

In the demo, players can choose from multiple difficulty levels before stepping into the boots of Mega Man himself with robot dog Rush by his side. In a stunningly hand-drawn, technically advanced pyramid environment, players are encouraged to use various tools including the new Double Gear system and various boss weapons to bust Block Man and absorb his powers.

Fans who take on Block Man in the free Mega Man 11 demo will contribute to the “Bust Block Man” community challenge for a chance to receive a set of single-use items that can be redeemed in the retail version of the game. Fans who defeat Block Man can display their victory using the #BustBlockMan hashtag on social media and then stay tuned to official Mega Man social channels to check out the progress as the community works together to chip away at Block Man!

To celebrate the announcement of the downloadable demo, Capcom has also revealed a new Robot Master named Bounce Man and his stage, the vibrant Boing-Boing Park.

About Mega Man 11

In Mega Man 11, players must jump, slide, shoot, and more through challenging stages and the powerful bosses Dr. Wily controls, otherwise known as Robot Masters.

Mega Man however isn’t the only one with access to the new gear system; Dr. Wily has also installed the Double Gear system in the powerful Robot Masters! Players will need to use everything at their disposal to take down Dr. Wily in the fight for everlasting peace.
