Dude, if you recall, I called the entire affair an exercise in pure lazy capitalizing on retro as a fashion rather than a design. After seeing how Capcom pushed the graphics forward even on GBA, I can officially say, "no, I don't what the latest chapter of Megaman to raid assets from NES libraries."

I know it makes me sound like a graphics whore but YEAH, It's my job to push boundaries in engine and I have yet to talk to anyone who's an artist in the game industry who wasn't instantly disappointed as the screens came out.

By the way... you told me to show you when I was done. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c237/sheppyboy2000/streetvendor.jpg

Not "done" [er say but that's what I entered. I'm definately going back into that mother to change everything I had to rush to meet yesterdays deadline.

If you "do not want" this, then don't even dare touching Mega Man 1-6. Because it's going to be like that, but newer and female.

Of course the Mega Man series takes new steps (see: 7, 8, & Bass, X, Zero, ZX) but this is a way to return to its roots in both gameplay and graphics.

Plus, we can see how far eight bits can really go after 20 years.

Well if this is true, and if the PSN version has trophies then my struggle to decide which system to get multiplatform games will begin. I basically have to decide by coin-flip now.

Also the game better be $5. I'm not even going to consider spending any more for a game that supposedly looks and sounds like an NES game.

Agreed.
Though now that it's coming to the other consoles, I probably won't bother with the Wii version, simply because of the hard drive issue. And before anyone quips about the whole SD card thing... forget it, because I'm not doing it. It's ridiculous that Nintendo couldn't at least put a couple gigs on the hard drive... especially knowing a VC service has already proven profitable on the X360 before the Wii's release in 2006.

Definitely getting the Wii version because of the NES-style controls. Big plus for a retro game like this.

I can't see this selling well for people other than Mega Man heads, but i think it's pretty damn awesome that they're taking the style all the way back the old days.

I'm dying to play this game. In fact, it may even be my most anticipated game at this point. I literally screamed "WHAT?! NO WAY!!! AWESOME!!!" when the story broke.

That's what happens when you support nintendo.

I'm sorry no more trolling today. That was just too good of an opening to let go.

Too bad Mega Man=Capcom and Mega Man 9 is multiplatform.

Don't really see where "supporting Nintendo" comes into play except for the fact that the original Mega Man games were on NES. But what else was Capcom gonna release them on, SEGA Mega Drive?

Who wants this? I do.

Mega Man 1, 2 and 3, absolutely, without a doubt still hold up today in terms of sheer fun (and 1 in particular is more challenging than a lot of the supposed 'difficult' games these days). In addition, the music in 2 and 3 is still some of the best ever made in a video game.

So if this game is anywhere near either of those, sign me up for whatever $$$ Capcom would like.

Kids these days ... wouldn't know a good game if it punched 'em in the face!

Well, I'm 30, yes i played all the Mega Man 200 years ago, but that's it, call classic or whatever, but i would be a lot more happy, if they release Megaman X.

Then you should Play Megaman Maverick Hunter X on the PSP! It is made of nostalgia and awesomeness.

DO IT F*GG*T!

I never could get into the MegaMan games, the platforming was awkward and it pissed me off he could not shoot diagonally.

But that's just me.

Same here, never played a Megaman game in my life. My buddies played them but I just always thought they looked and sounded generic for some reason. Of course to each his own this is just IMO. Never understood why they call him Mega "Man" either. Looks like a puny school boy. Who knows, maybe I missed out on some good stuff...

Fenix... Megaman series is very good.

Megaman games were one of my most played games back in the NES days...

You should grab a copy of the Megaman and Megaman X collection.

I respect the games, some things they did really well like the clever bosses and the music is still impressive. Listen to this ditty:

Yes, I mean... classic 2D classic sidescrolling, yes. Megaman ZX series.

There is also the RPG's series, but meh... not my style.

Good series are: Megaman, Megaman X, Megaman Zero, and Megaman ZX.

In fact, the guys who are developing Megaman 9 are the same developers that did Megaman Zero and Megaman ZX.

It'll be awesome playing it on the Wii. But if for some godforsaken horrible reason they DON'T allow you to use the Wii-mote sideways NES style, they are nothing more than failures. Mega Man with a D-Pad > Mega Man with a joystick (or joystiq, if you will.

I really wouldn't worry too much about that. I can't see them trying to make a game look and feel like a NES game without letting you use the closest thing to a NES controller available these days.

Sweet! ...But I'll admit that I find it a little odd to go from NES to SNES to PS1 then back to NES. Next up, 'Ratchet and Clank Past: Going Retro' for the PS1?

Doesn't XBLA require support for 720p and 1080i? I guess Capcom can throw up a border or something.

The gameplay in 8 was great, it was just those horrible English cutscenes. I never want to hear Dr. Light's voice again.

At least, not until rabbit/duck season.
