Mega Man Meets Little Big Planet


The only thing cooler than retro Mega Man goodness is creating your own retro Mega Man goodness. Capcom has shed some more light on the gameplay features of Mega Man Universe and it has been revealed that character customization and stage creation will be a big part of the experience.

Creating your own Mega Man isn't just about the cosmetics. As you play through the game you will collect different parts to use that not only change Mega Man's physical appearance, but his abilities as well. This opens a world (or universe) of ways to play through the game, but won't this feature be wasted on having only a set number of stages? Hrmmm...


Enter stage creation. As you can see in the screenshots below, when in stage creation a grid of squares covers the screen allowing you to place tiles in each square. These tiles can be walls, ladders, enemies, obstacles... whatever your 8-bit heart desires.

Will all of this creative power be as deep as Little Big Planet? Doubtfully. Will it be everything a Mega Man fan could ask for? We hope so. Check back soon for more news on the expanding Mega Man Universe.
