Funny / Mega Man 11

• With the announcement, we're also given a preview of the January 2018 cover for Game Informer◊. It showcases 11 incarnations of Mega Man, each representing the way he was designed for the US box arts of each Classic series game. They are all drawn very accurately.
  • Besides his updated design for 11, Mega Man's design as seen for the box art of 8 is also featured on the cover. Because the cover of said game used original Japanese artwork, it's the only other incarnation that is accurate to his design. This makes it stick out more among the other inaccurate ones.
• The pre-order trailer for the game revealing that Wily has night terrors because of the amount of times Mega Man has defeated him.
• In the game proper, we see that the use of Wily's trademark skull symbol extends to his pajamas and his bed.
• Dr. Wily briefly "took over" the official Mega Man Twitter and held a Q&A session to promote the game. The whole thread is full of laughs, but special mention goes to his response to being asked "What's Zero?":
  Wily: Is this a trick question? It's a number, of course. Next question!
• When Impact Man was revealed and shown off, some people joked that one of his attacks made him resemble a fidget spinner. Lo and behold, somebody made an actual Impact Man fidget spinner only five days later.
• The following exchange in the intro, which can either be interpreted as Roll being Innocently Insensitive or just delivering a vicious burn to Auto.
  Auto: Oh brother, there's no end to 'em! Doc, how about givin' your favorite assistant a break?
  Roll: I don't need a break, Auto! You know, for a robot, you sure do complain a lot! Now let's crank it up a gear!
  Auto: Roll, I ain't a machine! I mean, I am, but still...
• One of the enemies, the K-Drone, is a modern remote-controlled drone, with eyes. The sudden clash of actual modern tech with Mega Man's cartoonish and slightly zeerusty setting makes it a surprisingly humorous enemy. Their bio even indicates that such a strange design's effectiveness is yet to be seen. Even better; the Wily Machine is based on this design.
• The bio for the Eye Ice enemy, which drifts gently down to the ground and gets carried by their stage's wind currents, note that they were made as set dressing for artificially-made snowy environments. The sudden changes in wind speed and direction have resulted in them bumping into patrons on a semi-frequent basis. To quote said bio, "There have been...complaints."
• The Tosanaizer V from Bounce Man's stage is noted to have two variants for its hands; ones padded in sponge, and ones that are just metal. The bio then adds on, "(It always uses the metal ones.)"
• Most of the Robot Masters have a movement style that fits their theme (Fuse Man zips around at light speed, Bounce Man rebounds across the room, etc.). Block Man is a Mighty Glacier, so he moves by...jogging around at a middling pace, just like he did in the intro cutscene. Since he never jumps and attacks until you fire a shot, you can have some fun by repeatedly hopping over him, as he'll never change tactics and will keep jogging and failing to run into Mega.
• After beating four Robot Masters, there's a cutscene where Light explains to Mega Man about what happened between him and Wily in the past. During which, we clearly see Roll and Auto trying to hide in the background — and rather obviously noticeable at that.
• During the second phase of the Wily Machine's first form, the boss starts firing spiraling shots that were previously used by the Wily Machines in the original Mega Man and Mega Man 3...only here, these shots have Wily's insignia displayed in them.
• The final cutscene with Wily. Mega Man has him cornered as usual, and then Wily reveals it's Time for Plan B. He leaps backwards in slow motion a la Speed Gear before getting down on his knees and begging like always. Even better, Mega Man points out that after falling for that for, at bare minimum, 11 prior fights ^note Mega Man 1-10 and Mega Man & Bass, which is acknowleged in Mega Man 9s' ending; there's even more if you count the GB Mega Man games, Wily Tower in The Wily Wars, both of his arcade outings, the second Mega Man & Bass, his spin-off forays into soccer and kart racing... (and 30 years in real life), that trick no longer works on him, causing Wily to drop the facade immediately.
• One piece of merchandise made to promote the game? A bobblehead of Wily groveling.
