Capcom Releases Mega Man ZX for the Nintendo DS
New Action Game Joins Blue Bomber Franchise With Fresh Gameplay Twists, New Characters and More

In Mega Man ZX, hundreds of years have passed since the battles between humans and Reploids (robots). After fierce wars between the two sides, peace was finally restored and the two groups were able to establish various cooperative nations within the “Inner” area of the universe. However, danger zones remained in the undeveloped “Outer” section where independently evolved robots called “Mavericks” began wreaking havoc. A group called the Serpent Company scours the Outer universe to provide energy created from otherwise unattainable items to the Inner population and also serves to protect these peaceful nations from Maverick attacks over the years. On an excursion to the Outer region, they discover relics of ancient technologies in the ruins. These relics, called Biometals, are living, conscious materials, with records of information and weapon data from history housed within.

• Two playable characters – play as either a male character named Vent, or as a female named Aile
  • This is the first time ever in the Mega Man series where a female is the main playable character
  • Vent is bigger and more powerful while Aile is smaller and more agile
  • Each character has their own specific cut scenes
• Biometal is the key – in order to gain the best transformation possible, strategically attack bosses without damaging its Biometals, otherwise its effects may become downgraded and must be repaired to regain its full potential
• Transformations offer a range of different abilities
  • In human form, speak with townspeople and perform basic movements like walking and jumping

  • Model ZX form also includes short range attacks in addition to the Model X abilities
  • Biometal allows transformation into additional Model X types with distinct abilities – Model HX, Model LX and more

• Real time info system – engages both screens of the DS system
  • Not only do different Model X types offer powerful abilities for players as they battle on the top screen’s “real world,” they can also trigger helpful Cyber Elves that display useful information on the bottom “Biometal screen” counterpart utilizing special abilities of Biometals
  • While the main action happens on top, beneficial data ranging from an enemy’s weak point, locations of hidden items and more are displayed on the bottom
  • The type of data displayed is different with each Model type
• Overdrive invoke system – utilizing the Biometal Gauge, power up for a limited time to unleash devastating attacks; however once depleted, players revert to human form
• Regenerating bosses – based on certain conditions, a boss that had been defeated will reappear again, allowing multiple opportunities to gain items from the repeated battles
