Mega Man 10 - Bass, Special Stage 1 on April 5th

I play this in spurts (like all games for me these days) and got some time last night finally. Finished Strike Man and made 3 or 4 attempts on the 1st Wily stage, but couldn't quite finish it. Normal mode is damn hard.

It's helpful, though, to know that I can go back to previous stages even though it doesn't look like it. Commando Man is an easy source of big screws. I just get to the point where the 3 are hidden (
If I'm recalling correctly, it's the second desert section, first mine
) and collect those, and either proceed until I die, or just die intentionally until game over, and then I can go shopping. Yes, kind of a cheat, but I need it. Call it "grinding". :)
 
Just noticed the title change and then looked at the OP. Glad to see a date for the Bass and Stage 1 as well as the other DLC. I'll definitely be getting all of it, and I'm definitely looking forward to April 5th.
 
I was bored today and I wanted to try easy mode to unlock all the challenges for it. I bet it in about an hour, with over 9 lives , 7-8 e-tanks, 8 w-tanks and 1-2 m tanks. All in my inventory after beating it.
 
My kids downloaded Bass, so it's up!

Also, for those with kids into this kind of stuff, note that there are 3 episodes of a Mega Man cartoon available on netflix streaming.

Probably won't be out for a while since the Wii version has been out for a month already.

I think I had read that the DLC was coming out the same day for all platforms, in spite of the Wii have MM10 first, but don't quote me on it. Maybe just hadn't shown up yet when you checked?
 
I haven't played Bass myself, but I was watching my kids play him in Easy mode and even I think Bass is a bit ridiculously easy. Not only does he fire in 7 directions, he's got automatic rapid fire! Plus the ability to fly. Does he have autofire in Normal mode? Anyway, it's not that I'm complaining - I'm starting to think I'll ever finish Normal mode with Mega Man. I might start over and play as Bass so I have a fighting chance!

Question about Normal mode, or perhaps just about Wily's Castle. I went back last night and continued my previous save which I saved after having completed stage 1 of wily's, but when I started it up I was back at stage 1 again! Is that normal for a MM game? I was expecting I was going to be able to continue with stage 2. That's part of why I'm thinking I might never finish the game on Normal mode. I don't think I can complete the castle in one sitting.
 
Yes, on Normal and up you have to beat all Wily stages in 1 sitting, which is normal for Mega Man. On Easy Mode, you can save between each Wily stage. The Wily Stages combined won't take you more than an hour to beat.
 
Stage 2 isn't proving to be a breeze for me, but it is easier then stage 1. Monday I tried again and made it past stage 1 after a bunch of tries and finally the help of a half damage and an energy tank or two. I didn't make it through stage 2, no longer having a half damage, nor any energy tanks. It does prove to be a good level to stock up on W tanks, though, if you keep getting game overs. :)
