NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Capcom foregoes the use of Zero and goes with two
new heroes named Van and Eru in the latest Rockman
game. Set in the same universe as previous Rockman
games, Van and Eru work as couriers for Girouette
Express, a package delivery service.
One day, Van or Eru (selectable at the outset of gaming) and
Girouette are transporting a shipment of Live Metals
for Pureri aka Prairie when a cadre of Irregulars attack them in a
bid to abscond the valuable cargo. In the chaos and
confusion, the cargo is loosed and Van absorbs the
Model X Live Metal while boss man Girouette takes in
the Model Z Live Metal. Empowered with new abilities,
the two roust the Irregulars and set off on a mission of discovery...

NCS Game Notes
» The R.O.C.K. system refers to the "Rebirth of
Crystallized Knowledge System"
» Press START and a character select screen
pops up where players may choose to play as Van or
Eru. The two will be known as Vent and Aile in the
North American localization of the game.
» In the intro to the game, a camera pans
down from the sky to a mountain road where Girouette
stands with two motorbikes. He hails Van or Eru
(depending on whom you selected) and the camera
moves sideways as Girouette steps up to Van or Eru.
The two check out a city from an overhang while
their motorbikes are resting. While they enjoy a
short conversation, they're fired upon by a group of
Irregulars. As they duck for cover, the Mavericks
continue their attack which makes Giro's bike start
to smoke. A blast destroys Van's bike and sends him
flying over the cliff and onto his back. He wakes up
below and receives a communiqué from Girouette to
recover the Model X Live Metal. Van spies it
floating and pulsating in the distance. As he
approaches it, a group of Irregulars approaches with
a gal in a pink hat and uniform. A serpent-mecha
approaches behind them and the Irregulars attack the
creature. The snake retreats temporarily but returns
with a vengeance by slashing its tail down on them
that knocks the Irregulars to the ground. Van faces
the serpent alone but the X-metal floats in front of
him and binds itself to him - a cinema follows which
shows the integration process as he is suited up
with the X-Metal and fires a mighty blast that
knocks the mech-serpent down. Panting from the
harried action, Van holds a dialogue with the
X-Metal which gives him some pointers on the R.O.C.K.
system. With that, the serpent retreats and Van is
left with the Irregular group but he soon chases
after the retreating serpent.
» The dialogue in the intro to the game is
voiced entirely by actors.
» The top NDS screen shows all of the action
while the bottom screen shows a level map as a hero
makes his/her way across. The map uses a grid to
depict the stage .
CONTROLS
A or R-Trigger / Fire weapon, Hold down
to fire double blaster
B / Jump
Y / Select X-Armor
L-Trigger / Dash move
» If Eru or Van jumps up with a B-button
press, press the L-Trigger won't send them sailing
across the screen. However, pressing the dash button
and then jumping will make Van travel in a nice
combination of jump and dash sailing as long as the
d-pad is depressed in the direction of movement.
There's also no double-jump or a bend down move to
avoid oncoming fire. The jump does work to avoid
oncoming fire but NCS enjoy evasive variety in our
games.
» A devious new enemy in the game is a
heli-bot with a rotor on top. If you destroy it, its
rotor will drop to the ground, turn on its side, and
dash towards you in an attempt to perform chopping
duties. Shooting it once will destroy it. The first
level boss is the mech-snake from the intro. It'll
shoot out green spinning orbs and turn its backside
on Van where it lashes its tail onto the ground and
sends three boulders at his direction. The only time
that its vulnerable is when it slithers towards Van
head-first. Its body is well plated and deflects all
blasts. When it lashes rocks at Van, its possible to
destroy the rocks by shooting three blasts in
sequence. The first battle is easy and once
destroyed, mech-snake lets off a lot of steam from
its head before it explodes...
» In Level A-2, immediately after exiting the
cave, there's a regenerating giraffe on the left
side of the screen. Destroy its head and it'll grow
back a new one within seconds.
