Box Hedge Games has revealed their new game Super Mighty Power Man, a spiritual sequel to the classic Mega Man 8 Bit games. The game will also take inspiration from games such as Ducktales, Castlevania, Kirby and Mario. The game is being designed by developers who worked on games such as Test Drive Unlimited, Kinect Disneyland Adventure, and Assassin’s Creed. The game will be coming to Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch and more details will be provided soon.
THE GAME
Super Mighty Power Man is a genuine 2D action?platformer reminiscent of video games from the late 80’s and early 90’s. It is like games found on the NES console when fun was more than QTE, lengthy tutorials, and never?ending cinematics.
Super Mighty Power Man (SMPM) is greatly inspired by the famous Mega Man game series as well as others including: Castlevania, Contra, Duck Tales, Kirby, Super Mario Bros. and more recent ones like VVVVVV, Retro City Rampage and Shovel Knight.
Besides being a true love letter to the NES legendary gaming era, it is above all a tribute to the renowned Blue Bomber and our passion for such games that has stayed with us since childhood.
Take control of Corey, a boy who accidentally finds himself caught in a most unexpected adventure to save the galaxy. Helped by a clumsy extraterrestrial robot named Robby, and armed with a mysterious device called ‘The Power Grasp’, Corey must defend the Earth from the spreading evil forces of General Mok. He will need to fight (and jump) his way through deadly environments, hordes of monsters, and other hazardous traps to free occupied planets from the tyranny of his enemy’s lieutenants.
‘The Power Grasp’ grants Corey superhuman powers, allowing him to merge with other lifeforms and become one of the many forms of Super Mighty Power Man!
