About the story
Gunvolt: "While on a mission to try to get back Joule's powers, Gunvolt was swallowed up by a mysterious light. Next thing they knew, they were in an unknown new world where they had a chance meeting with a robot boy named Beck. It was at that point Beck forcibly entered Gunvolt into a competition called the Super Mighty Battle Showdown. Will Gunvolt and Joule be able to escape this world and discover the source of the mysterious light that brought them here?" Beck: "Beck has successfully returned his 8 robot siblings who were rampaging all thoughout the nation back to normal. Hoping to be better prepared for such situations in the future, Dr. White expedited the completion of an advanced weapon system that he had been researching for a while. Beck was training while deep inside a virtual world made by Dr. White, but when he completed his session, he wasn't able to leave. That is when he met a young man named Gunvolt, who by his own power, trapped Beck inside this virtual space. Will Beck be able to escape this virtual world and reveal Gunvolt's intentions."

Nintendo Insider
By Jamie WardAfter the exceedingly sub-standard Mighty No. 9, you can understand feeling a bit uneasy playing a game using the same character in the same universe. But I have to say that I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed playing through Mighty Gunvolt Burst. It’s not the longest game in the world, sure, but it’s a fun one. The controls feel really tight, platforming, shooting, it feels good, it feels as if it was a Mega Man game, and that’s the biggest compliment I can give it. So if you’re a retro fan and are itching for a Mega Man-type experience to play before the actual Blue Bomber comes along himself then you can do mightily worse than Mighty Gunvolt Burst.

By Robert MarrujoOverall, this is a marked improvement over Mighty Gunvolt. It's bigger, better, and more engaging than that game, which was entertaining but ultimately still just an aside. Burst is a full-fledged leap into the waters that Mega Man first waded into, and Inti Creates did an admirable job of producing a game genuinely worthy of carrying on such a hefty legacy.

By TraceyMighty Gunvolt Burst is an excellent action platformer on the Nintendo Switch and one of the best games on Nintendo's hybrid console. If you're a fan of the Mega Man series, of the Azure Striker Gunvolt games or of Mighty No. 9, then you have to play Mighty Gunvolt Burst today!

By Ken McKownMighty Gunvolt Burst is exactly what I wanted it to be. A proper clone of a genre I still love to this day, with enough new to make it feel modern. The platforming is tight, the challenge is solid, and everything just feels good. I grew up loving these games, and while I am not quite as skilled as I used to be, I still enjoy the challenge they deliver.
FNintendo
By Diogo CaeiroMight Gunvolt Burst builds on its predecessor and easily overcomes it, thanks to its use of creative and fun gameplay mechanics, a rich visual environment and an overall quality production that will certainly appeal to fans of retro-looking action games.
