Mega Man 9 priced 1000 Wii points in Japan

Is that money flying into Mega Man's mouth?

I heard over at NeoGAF that Megaman 9 may get DLC.

Even $10 for the full package would be too much for what is essentially a new NES game. Yes, it's new, but it probably didn't take many resources to make.

It should be priced at the 500 points value like the NES Virtual Console games.

Ahhh, quit ur bitchin' jaclo and get a job. And if you do have a job, you're obviously not making enough, so quit it and find a new one that allows you to pay the exorbitant price of $10 for a video game.

Oh, and Titanium_Orchid's comment is quite the funny.

Ten bucks for Mega Man 9? Wonderful news!

Now where's my Wii hard drive?

Nice price.

I read that Capcom will be releasing Megaman 1 and 2 on Virtual Console here in USA.

$20 bucks well expended.

that guy.....you dont have to be a douche, he was giving his opinion on pricing, if you wanted to give yours, just say "i feel it is the right price for this game blah blah this is why".....dont have to make comments about his personal life and such

anywho, i love megaman,cant wait....wish they would realese the megaman x games, i loved those so much :D

Capcom isn't EA so I wouldn't worry too much about dlc whoring. Capcom is about the gamer. Hands down my favorite 3rd party developer. Can't wait for this game!

How many Ms points is that?

Hope always dies at last.

Anyone else wish it would have been of higher graphical quality?

I know some say there's nostalgia to it and I agree but still, Capcom can spend little resources making this and sort of mask it behind it being nostalgic, going back to its first roots.

I love old-school games as well, but still........I must be the only one? : /

Woo hoo!

I really can't wait for this. Especially after Ars printed an article that shoots at every console fanboy who raves about graphics...it's all about the gameplay, and the older Mega Man games had it. I'd buy it, delete it, and buy it again just to keep developers focusing on gameplay.

Way too much for what is basically a ROM hack.

I guess I don't understand why people are complaining. The only purpose graphics play in games is to support the gameplay and make that all important first impression.

With Mega Man 9 (or any game that has been done a million times) Capcom had a choice:

1) Create "just-another-Mega-Man game" aka making the graphics a little better (in HD) than Mega Man ZX2 or whatever the latest version is. So that it looks like any other new 2D game on the market.

or

2) Go back to the original sprite design and instantly tap into the nostalgia older gamers have and create 100000 times as much interest in the title. Does anyone think there would be this many individual stories about a new Mega Man game if it wasn't done in the 8-bit style?

Nintendo had a similar choice after the GameCube. Nintendo could have made a console that was just as powerful as the PS3, if not more powerful. Instead though they decided to concentrate on making games more intuitive to play.

All that being said however Mega Man 9 better be the greatest single gameplay experience in the franchise, if not out of every game released in the last couple of years.

"It's the content of the games that matter, not the graphics!

Wow! Megaman 9 is going to be 8-bit graphics! Finally a NEW Megaman game that is done in a style that we (fanboys) approve of.

Wait... It might be more than 10 dollars?

Ludicrous, I'm not willing to pay the price of a "new" more modern, graphically, game!"*

Sounds odd to me. If Megaman is a NEW Megaman game, despite the graphics, then shouldn't you be willing to pay FULL price for it? If not, then please don't act like it's the second coming.

* random summarized comments from people crazy for the new Megaman 9.

This is the only series I have seen where the graphical quality has gone down, at least have kept it with Mega Man 8 or RockMan and Forte style graphics!

I played a lot of Mega Man Anniversary last year and I loved all of the games. I have no idea how it wouldn't be enjoyable unless you can't enjoy a game that doesn't vomit Bloom on your face.

actually, he'd have to have absorbed Printman to do that.

Megaman 2 is the easiest in the series. Metal Blade = everything (but Wily Alien) dies. Even on Hard Mode, it isn't too challenging.

I liked Megaman as it is. They're hard, yes, but not excessively so (see: Ninja Gaiden 8-bit, Contra, etc.). And if they were too easy, it wouldn't be any fun to play.

Not the "average" gamer. The "modern" gamer.

Games have been made progressively easier lately. New Super Mario Bros, Yoshi's Island DS, etc.

The exception is a game like GHIII. But the problem there is they make it artificially difficult. Like if a Robot Master were to regenerate health if you took to long to beat him.

$10 for a brand new Mega Man game? Yeah, it's twice as much as a VC NES game, but then this ISN'T a re-released NES game now is it?

They could've put it on a DS card or GBA cartridge and charged $30-35 bucks for it. I feel the price is quite fair and will be picking it up once I hear more about the DLC.

And hey, a Wii game with DLC? I'm surprised people are freaking out as opposed to being excited that DLC is coming to the Wii.

I'm personally kind of glad they went with the Retro style graphics. Makes MM9 stand out, and proves that they were at least thinking somewhat outside the box.

Would I like to see MM9 in HD graphics? Sure, I'm curious to see what it would look like, but maybe they'll go that route with the 360/PS3 version.

"Like if a Robot Master were to regenerate health if you took to long to beat him."

Fistleo the Predatoroid in Megaman ZX is able to regenerate health... And the fact his Biometal is in a hard-to-miss spot makes getting a Lv.4 Victory rather hard...
