Mega Man Neo Smashes 2-D Barrier

Mega Man has battled the evil Dr. Wily in a two-dimensional world for ten years.

Capcom, in an effort to take the blue dude to the 32-bit generation, is now concentrating on Mega Man Neo, a game that takes him into the third dimension and features the same kind of fast-paced Mega Man gameplay gamers have come to know from the series.

The game is expected to be released in early 1998. Here are two screenshots to whet your appetite, courtesy of Electronic Gaming Monthly.
