Setup

1. Initial Console Setup

Ensure your Nintendo Switch console is fully charged and updated to the latest system software. Connect your console to a TV if playing in TV mode, or ensure Joy-Con controllers are attached for handheld mode.

2. Game Installation

For physical game cards, insert the Mega Man 11 game card into the Nintendo Switch game card slot. For digital downloads, ensure the game has been fully downloaded and installed from the Nintendo eShop. An active internet connection may be required for initial setup and updates.

3. Launching the Game

Select the Mega Man 11 icon from the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu to start the game. Follow any on-screen prompts for user selection or initial data loading.

Operating

Basic Controls

• Movement: Use the Left Stick or D-Pad to move Mega Man.
• Jump: Press the B button.
• Mega Buster (Shoot): Press the Y button. Hold to charge for a powerful shot.
• Slide: Press the ZL or ZR button while moving.
• Special Weapons: Use the Right Stick or L/R buttons to cycle through acquired Robot Master weapons.

The Double Gear System

The Double Gear System is a new mechanic that allows Mega Man to temporarily boost his abilities. There are two types of gears:

• Speed Gear: Activates by pressing the L button. This slows down time, allowing Mega Man to react to fast-moving obstacles or enemies.
• Power Gear: Activates by pressing the R button. This significantly increases the power of Mega Man's Mega Buster and special weapons.

Both gears can be activated simultaneously when Mega Man's health is low, unleashing a powerful Double Gear technique. However, be cautious: prolonged use or activating both gears at once will cause the system to overheat, rendering both gears unusable for a short period until they cool down. Strategic use of the Double Gear System is crucial for overcoming challenges.
