SPOILER!!!!!!!!!! For those who say they cant play this game like a Mega Man game. Lies. Just beat the game. Get all the jewels. Talk to Joule twice. Wear the necklace she makes for you in the final battle and then beat the alternate final stage. Then after that beat the 4 special stages and you get weapon called the Dullahan. It can't tag anything but has insane power. It's like playing with the Mega Buster only now it's rapid fire.
I absolutely love this game, it's my second favorite game right next to the MegaMan Zero games. It gave me a fair amount of challenge and I would recommend it to anyone who loved the X/Zero series. I would give it a 9.5
Psh, "The story gets in the way". If you pay attention at all to the story it is far more complex, morally ambiguous, and emotional than your average Megaman game. To top it off, it is also littered with symbolism. Honestly, I feel like replaying it FOR the story, which is something I can't say about most Megaman games.
lol so much anger and hatred in the comment section 4 no reason, this game is really gud. for anyone missing the old school feel of a megaman-like side scroller Gunvolt is a nice and comfortable throwback to that play style. not to mention it comes with an 8-bit megaman like side story thats just as fun. that sound like a pretty gud deal to me. totally worth wat it is.
This the difference between 3ds and vita nintendo chooses good indies that are only exclusive to the 3ds like this awseome game meanwhile the vita is getting nidhog a small indie game thats already on oc and some consoles
I cringed every time he said Megaman or Megaman X, and especially when he said Inti Creates worked on them. Inti Creates made the Zero and the ZX series. Which this game is heavily inspired from. Not the original MM or MMX series.
I beat the bosses out of pure luck. I never was good at the Mega Man X games. I did beat all 8 Mavericks in Megaman X5 but couldn't get past Sigma's first tower. I got all the way up to Sigma in Megaman Maverick Hunter but couldn't beat him.
AYE SIR! now this is what I cared about! But I wonder about how it looks in 3D mode. can anyone described it? like, how 'dimentional' is it looks after activate 3D mode?
moriarty is a or was a faq/walkthrough wrighther on gamefaqs and he did all of the nes mega man games, zelda: a link to the past and with great humor hahahahaha and this game is already in europe on the 3ds e shop and its sequel also but the striker pack on the switch (soon on ps4 in april) is the difinitive way to play ASG 1 and 2. and i go soon for the 3rd game yeah its a spinoff luminous aventure ix that stars gunvolts rival. the bosses are great, the stages are awesome yeah seriously each boss has a 3-tear life meter. as you do more and more damage to him/her they will do more attacks and on the final bar they will do there special attack named a desperation attack eccept 1 boss. elise. that has a split personality meaning you have to shock them both otherwise she will revive her other halve. and my friend, play it on the switch (for now)
...how's this all that much like *X*? Hell, how's this even like the first level of X other than taking place in a city? And the bosses inspired by X? What are you on? Is the Classics and X all you played of the franchise? These look a hell of a lot more like Zero and ZX material.
gunvolt is megaman x. hehe.. in a different perspective. I played X1-X9 MMZ1-MMZ4.. MMZX-MMZXadvent the mechanics are the completely the same but different in title. Like Darksouls to Bloodborne
I donno, this looks like a very easy game. The fact that you don't take damage unless your electric field is down AND you have no mana or whatever it's called is kid of annoying. I'm more excited for the free Mighty Gunvolt that comes with this game! :)
The stages themselves are pretty easy, except for the bosses.But most of the difficulty comes from these brutal challenges you can accept, such as keep the combo gauge above 3000, that is brutal when a single hit will reset you to zero.
That ability to not take damage is the Prevasion. Which is only use able when certain pendants are equipped. You can take it off anytime. And there's a pendant for beating the alternate final stage that basically puts your health down really low. Deactivates prevasion and makes you take more damage
Z-Boy X8 That's pretty much hard mode eh? Is there a new game plus in this game? I think this type of game benefits a lot from that mode. I sure like it in the MMZ games.
I hope this and mighty number 9 do very well and have sequels, and keep as a Nintendo exclusives. So maybe one day they become Nintendo and get included in smash
till april 23 this year, it will, but after that, not. and gunvolt 1 is also on the pc but i stik to the nintendo versions. thats what there for. i have both on the 3ds and the striker pack on the switch
Come on man at least du a little research, it's obvious that this game it's based and inspired in Megaman zero series, not Megaman x. God dam pseudo journalist

Holy crap! One more day left before this game is launched. Can't wait to download this tomorrow,who's in everyone?
Gunvolt might not have a very diverse enemy variety, but it focuses on enemy placement well.
The game is gives off more a Mega Man Zero feel than Mega Man X
True.
Well yeah it's made bye the same peaple that mode megaman zero
Collin you sold me on this game. Great review
I absolutely love this game, it's my second favorite game right next to the MegaMan Zero games. It gave me a fair amount of challenge and I would recommend it to anyone who loved the X/Zero series. I would give it a 9.5
WOW! Colin writes a review for a Nintendo? Not only is that rare, but his reviews are even MORE rare these days! Love it!
if its the same he is also on gamefaqs and i read in the past his faqs from the nes mega man games also zelda 1 and a link to the past.

If only the 3DS had the original version with all the in game dialogue...
Speaking of symbolism the "RED LIGHT" with Copen has 666 and "Yggdrashi" written in the background.
1. Can you change the controls for this game?
2. How well is the 3D Effect for this game?
3D is pretty decent, controls can be changed I believe
lol so much anger and hatred in the comment section 4 no reason, this game is really gud. for anyone missing the old school feel of a megaman-like side scroller Gunvolt is a nice and comfortable throwback to that play style. not to mention it comes with an 8-bit megaman like side story thats just as fun. that sound like a pretty gud deal to me. totally worth wat it is.

Dissapointed at Mighty No. 9 but want something that has the megaman spirit written on it? Here it is. Play it. It's good. It's better than nothing.
I was playing Gunvolt before it was cool! LOL.
I got my 3DS in 2014 and Gunvolt Striker was one of the first virtual consoles I bought.
I cringed every time he said Megaman or Megaman X, and especially when he said Inti Creates worked on them. Inti Creates made the Zero and the ZX series. Which this game is heavily inspired from. Not the original MM or MMX series.
Can you bind buttons? My right button is broken and I don't want to play if I can't kill enemies as well
I have the same problem. Luckily, you can use the "A" button for the Flashfield instead.
Travis Tran Yes you can. At your apartment, you can press L and go to the right center icon (it has a wrench) and you can change binds there.
the flash field button (r) is also on (a)
This game looks really great
It is
Will there a physical copy?
the bosses are whay closer to megaman zero
Its a good way to revive good theme in a great way. Instead of doing another Megaman Zero.
If u ask me the bosses were hard the first time I played
+Proto Gaming i know right the bosses are rlly hard to me
+GamerJorn yea because it's more than shooting it is kinda more like thinking how to defeat the enemy because they are hard to shoot at
I beat the bosses out of pure luck. I never was good at the Mega Man X games. I did beat all 8 Mavericks in Megaman X5 but couldn't get past Sigma's first tower. I got all the way up to Sigma in Megaman Maverick Hunter but couldn't beat him.
AYE SIR! now this is what I cared about!
But I wonder about how it looks in 3D mode. can anyone described it? like, how 'dimentional' is it looks after activate 3D mode?
with 3d mode it looks like 2.5d game but i didn't play with 3d that much because i like the retro megaman zero look
Aye Sir? FAIRY TAIL REFERENCE!!
Things look like they're placed in front of the backgrounds. It's pretty decent
It looks alright. I expected a bit more but its cool.
can't wait for the europe release
Lol little did you know at the time...
moriarty is a or was a faq/walkthrough wrighther on gamefaqs and he did all of the nes mega man games, zelda: a link to the past and with great humor hahahahaha and this game is already in europe on the 3ds e shop and its sequel also but the striker pack on the switch (soon on ps4 in april) is the difinitive way to play ASG 1 and 2. and i go soon for the 3rd game yeah its a spinoff luminous aventure ix that stars gunvolts rival. the bosses are great, the stages are awesome yeah seriously each boss has a 3-tear life meter. as you do more and more damage to him/her they will do more attacks and on the final bar they will do there special attack named a desperation attack eccept 1 boss. elise. that has a split personality meaning you have to shock them both otherwise she will revive her other halve. and my friend, play it on the switch (for now)

It is more based of of the Mega Man Zero franchise. I believe he heard zero and Zero first appeared in X's games.
Should i get the striker pack?
YEAH BOYY
ansur? or you did it already? yes!
gunvolt is megaman x. hehe.. in a different perspective. I played X1-X9 MMZ1-MMZ4.. MMZX-MMZXadvent the mechanics are the completely the same but different in title. Like Darksouls to Bloodborne
+Sendo Tiago thats what i like. i played megaman x games and was searching for a game just like it when i found the demo i knew i needed the game
more megaman zero feel than X
X9 Isn't a game yet
+Sendo Tiago X9
Day 1 buy. I miss the blue bomber :/ his spirit will live on!!
You should look at an upcoming game called mighty no. 9
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Hmm i don't like the gameplay looks very restrictive.
Ohh well I would only know if I actually have hands on
cant wait to download this game tomorrow
Ok just heard Exclusive forget the Vita version : (
lets just hope it comes to the vita (altough its unlickely)
Steam version is out
easy friend, wait till april this year if you have a ps4
Gunvolt on vita please.
Just buy a 3ds or a wii u if you want to play the game
Nick Soulis For this? Lmfao
Personal opinions are legal unfortunately
SONYroxs
Yes, because the otaku-bait z-grade RPGs on the Vita are so compelling.
KoujiTamino Because that's all the Vita has. The best JRPGs and indies on the market.
Good score.
That looks like the fianl boss of megaman zx advent awesome memories
I donno, this looks like a very easy game. The fact that you don't take damage unless your electric field is down AND you have no mana or whatever it's called is kid of annoying. I'm more excited for the free Mighty Gunvolt that comes with this game! :)

Actually that is just an option. You can change your weapons and gear, and you can remove that gear for a different one
That ability to not take damage is the Prevasion. Which is only use able when certain pendants are equipped. You can take it off anytime. And there's a pendant for beating the alternate final stage that basically puts your health down really low. Deactivates prevasion and makes you take more damage
Z-Boy X8 That's pretty much hard mode eh? Is there a new game plus in this game? I think this type of game benefits a lot from that mode. I sure like it in the MMZ games.
Wrath's boss fight.
I love this game
I hope this and mighty number 9 do very well and have sequels, and keep as a Nintendo exclusives. So maybe one day they become Nintendo and get included in smash
I thought the same thing I would love to see sequals and him in smash
Geeves indeed is getting a sequel
till april 23 this year, it will, but after that, not. and gunvolt 1 is also on the pc but i stik to the nintendo versions. thats what there for. i have both on the 3ds and the striker pack on the switch
Come on man at least du a little research, it's obvious that this game it's based and inspired in Megaman zero series, not Megaman x. God dam pseudo journalist
first comment i guess..lol :D
............you guessed wrong
Joseph Hopkins i don't think so !
Erster?
Eh, I'll pass. Looks weak.
Translation: No playstation port? it sucks.
AnimaxRules No? I own the platform it's on. Jst doesn't look good.
SONYroxs it looks a lot better then most people would think
your name makes it reeeeally hard to take ur opinion seriously.
ZanteBlitz Okay? Don't take me seriously then. I really don't care.
first
Will there a physical copy?
Sadly no.
