Well, I did that to emulate classic Japanese trailers for Mega Man where they had robot master images flash across the screen as they display their levels. I also intentionally hid some stuff in those very same action sequences to give you a teaser of what you'll be expecting in those segments. Hope its wetted your appetite.
But I must warn you and every other player out there: This game is brutal, yet still going to be fair. The fault of dying will be your own, not due to some bad play control. I've played Megaman Revolution, Megaman Unlimited and Megaman Rock Force this year and I've found that my game seems to be a bit harder. Take that as you will, its just my opinion. So go in expecting hardcore Megaman and you shall be pleased.
