Rockman & Forte Mirai kara no Chōsensha (ロックマン&フォルテ 未来からの挑戦者, Rokkuman ando Forute Mirai kara no Chōsensha, lit. "Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future") is a title in the Mega Man series of video games. It was only released in Japan on the WonderSwan handheld system.
Story
In the year 20XX, a group of robots from the future calling themselves the Dimensions attacked Symphony City, a city where people and robots lived in peace. Though without any witnesses, the one leading the Dimensions with overwhelming power was a robot like Rockman, who named himself Rockman Shadow. He was said to be a dark and wicked person completely obsessed with destruction. Rockman, who heard this news at Dr. Light's laboratory, took off to the scene despite being under maintenance. At the same time, Dr. Wily saw the dark Rockman, and to ascertain the mystery he sends Forte to the city.
Spoiler: Eventualy Rockman Shaddow is defeated and his plans put to rest. A Full cast of the usual Mega Man protagonist characters can be seen at the very end of the game, including Rockman Shaddow. Special Note: During the corse of the game it is hinted that Rockman shaddow is really Quint ( from the Gameboy version of Mega Man 2 ) however,that is not the case, as the ending reveals that only his design was based on Quint.[1]
Gameplay
Similar to the previous game, Rockman & Forte, two characters are available for play: Rockman, and Forte. Rockman handles like previous games in the series, combining charged attacks and sliding across the ground. Forte, like in the previous game, can fire rapidly in set 45-degree angles, and has dash and double jump abilities. A notable part of the gameplay is that the Robot Masters in this game do not have an invincibility period after being hit, allowing the player to continuously attack them if possible. Another notable point is that during Aircon Man's stage, the handheld must be tilted onto one side; the stage then being played vertically. Yet another point is that there are only five weapons to be obtained, with Compass Man not surrendering a weapon for the player to use.
The Bolt system also makes a comeback, with various parts and equipment able to be bought. Both characters have items that only work for them, such as Rockman being able to summon Rush, Eddie, Tango and Beat. Forte can summon Gospel and Reggae (a bird-type support robot that last was seen in the 1993 Famicom game Wily and Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise).
