A presentation was held in China today for the NVIDIA Shield. You wouldn’t expect Nintendo news to come out of such an event, but it seems as though a pretty big announcement was made.
The new Chinese version of NVIDIA Shield is capable of running Wii games. Site reader pdapandapda tells us that the graphics will be optimized, but we’re trying to get confirmation on that. If true, perhaps the Wii titles will run at more suitable HD resolutions.
Following the reveal of Mega Man 11, Capcom put out an official press release for the game. Included in that was a tease of “a variety of difficulty options.”
The official Japanese website for Mega Man has more information about this. Four difficultly levels are included: “Newcomer Mode”, “Casual Mode”, “Normal Mode”, and “Expert Mode”. It goes without saying, but the difficulty should increase as you go up the scale, with “Expert Mode” providing the toughest challenge.
Also coming from the site, we have our first glimpse of Mega Man 11’s Robot Masters. They’re shown via silhouettes in the image below.

Had history taken a different direction, the first Resident Evil could have ended up as a very different game. Capcom’s Koji Oda told Game Informer that it was originally in development for the SNES.
Some of you may know that Resident Evil was inspired by the horror title Sweet Home, and was a spiritual successor of sorts. It makes sense then that it started off on the SNES. But as Oda mentioned, when the PlayStation came into the picture, Capcom shifted to that platform.
The Mega Man 30th anniversary celebration live stream has concluded, but it wasn’t without some big announcements. Of course, the biggest news is the brand new Mega Man 11 for Switch and other platforms. Capcom is also bringing Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 to Switch along with all Mega Man X titles.
We have the official announcement recap from Capcom below. Included are some of the first official screenshots and art for Mega Man 11.
Capcom only just announced Mega Man 11 today, but it looks like we can look forward to a whole bunch of news very soon. It was revealed during today’s 30th anniversary live stream for the series that the game is featured in this month’s issue of Game Informer. Along with the cover treatment, we’ll be hearing much more about Mega Man 11.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 are in the works for Switch, Capcom announced during its 30th anniversary live stream celebration for the series. Both will support amiibo.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 will launch for Switch sometime in Summer 2018.
