Mega Man 11's boss doors do away with a long-running series staple

GN Version 5.0

Anyone who's a Mega Man fan knows that one of the best parts of a Robot Master battle is jumping through the door and freezing in mid-air as you pass through. It's been a part of all mainline Mega Man games, yet for some reason it's not a part of Mega Man 11. In the clip above, you can hear my real-time reaction to finding that out. That's not rehearsed, and I had no idea that that element was removed for Mega Man 11.

Yes, it's a stupid bit of gameplay that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Still, it's something Mega Man fans have been doing for years and years now. While I wouldn't review Mega Man 11 poorly for not including the feature, I really hope to see them add it back in for the final release.
