Nope.Is japanese version includes english subtitle?
My first thought before I even got to gameplay is how hilariously bad the story sequences are. Maybe it's a good thing that this is supposedly being cut back for the English release.
Nope.
Any option to turn off the text overlay during gameplay? Inquiring duckrolls want to know. Thanks!
Yep, you can shut off dialog display entirely by pressing X.
I'm hoping this is good. I just busted out Mega Man Zero DS Collection yesterday just because I missed how good the controls were.
I'm not sold on the weird tag-and-zap gameplay from the videos, but hopefully impressions are positive.
No crouch, no 3D, tons of speech, first boss is cool but repeated again a minute later and have cramp in my hands now. Not at all instant when compared with the awesome 3D Thunder Blade. Hopefully will play a bit better after sleeping and expectations are lessened.
I asked them about an option to turn off the annoying text overlay stuff earlier, and they finally replied on Twitter. The official word is that we apparently won't have to worry about text during gameplay in the NA version, because they have trimmed the text during localization. They couldn't dub the game, and they knew that some players didn't like too much talking, so they've made cuts since the English text and the Japanese voice wouldn't line up anyway.
Sounds like a clear victory for gameplay, and a maybe a loss for people who somehow love to have tons of story in their 2D action platformers?
Yep, you can shut off dialog display entirely by pressing X.
You can also disable the voices for the dialog that comes up while you're playing.
Only a plane shift for hud elements, otherwise no 3D.Wait, there's no 3D? Seriously?

It's that subtle I had my slider on full and didn't notice it.There is absolutely 3D.
I finished the first stage, and I'm not really impressed so far. I don't feel like there's any finesse to the combat. I tag enemies 1-3 times with the peashooter and then I stand still holding R waiting for their healthbar to drain. I really, really hope there's more to the game than this later on.

That's even worse than having text in the middle of the screen all the time.
Somehow I feel that the combat mechanics is a bit focused on speed running/time attack the stage.
I can see why BriBri thought there was no 3D. It's very subtle and might as well be kept off. And holy SHIT at that text. I haven't paid too much attention to this game and as soon as the game started, I could see why Duckroll hates the text overlays so much.
I guess there's a minimum kills/score to get the highest rank just like in MMZ? Watching last week's stream, that guy plays quite fast & manage to maintain high scoreYou can't kill enemies if you tag them and move them too far off-screen. So if that were the case then if you wanted to get score you'd still have to stop and hold R to use your lightning attack after tagging everything on the screen.
I've completed four levels now, and there's actually some interesting gimmicks with the electric field. There's one area where you're under water and can't use it, another where it's dark and you can't see unless you use it, etc. And enemies have gotten a wee bit harder too. We'll see how things go forward.
The bosses are okay but so far they seem more like exercises in dodging than actually attacking since you can attack from anywhere.
Theres a few people streaming it now.

Press X and free yourself.

So is there any equipment/upgrades/level ups etc? Or is it more like old school mega man where you just use the skillset you have (aside from boss powers of course)
