First Mega Man Universe gameplay footage actually shows how the game works

We think we echo a lot of gamers' sentiments when we pose this question: What on earth is Mega Man Universe? It's been announced, and Capcom's even taken a crack at explaining it, but MMU's still as much of an enigma as life on other planets or Twilight fans.

Or at least, it was. Now, though, Capcom's seen fit to finally stop telling and start showing. See the game in action after the break, courtesy of 1UP.
