Mega Man 9

This is exciting. At first I was disappointed with the 8-bit design choice; I would have really liked for it to look like Mega Man 8, but now that I think it over, it should still be just as enjoyable. The difficulty will be on par with the originals, there will be 8-bit music, cut-scenes, etc. It's like they're releasing a NES game again!

I'm pretty blown away by this actually, has anything like this ever really been done? A major installment of a series being released as a downloadable only title in the style of the original from 20 years ago. This is a day one purchase for me. Can't wait!
I read somewhere on 1up that it might be released onto the PS3 and XBL Arcade as well.

If so, I can't wait either. I don't favor the rest of the Megaman line, mainly the EXE/Battle Network/Starforce because it just doesn't bring me the joy as the Classic series.

Plus the music was bangin' too.

Yeah, it's going to be on WiiWare, XBLA, and PSN.
that's amazing whoa
Do they really have to go that far back in time? Just give me MegaMan Legends 3 and I'll be as happy as a spring flower!

I won't touch a Megaman game unless it has Zero except for Megaman 64 which will always be my favourite =)

Its been backpedaled. Mega Man 9 is exclusively on WiiWare, for now at least.

Whaaat.

They will be missing out on a lot of money if they don't put it on XBLA. If they are meaning to pay tribute to the original MM's, then I guess it makes sense that it would be on a Nintendo console, but that really is stupid. Hopefully they change their minds.
who cares we'll all be playing chrono trigger ds

Haha, the carp 360 d-pad would have made it horrible to play the god damn thing.

With that being said, carp yes WowWare. Can't wait to clean out my fridge for this.


Sam: Megaman was originally 8 bit and they wanted to emulate the feeling fans got from the consensus best one, Megaman 2, which was 8 bit.

I don't really mind using the analog for this hahaha
Really? I wouldn't dare try to touch 8-bit with an analog stick, it just doesn't feel right...

I wonder if that will even be supported...
