Rumor: Mega Man 9 Achievements are evil

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Aug 13th 2008 at 9:00AM }

If there's one thing you'll see a lot during your stroll through Mega Man 9's trap-laden, pit-filled and exceedingly deadly memory lane, it's the poor little robot boy exploding into a booming bloom of pulsating energy. Unfortunately, there appears to be no achievement for dying one billion times -- at least not in the list of in-game gongs posted by Inside MGC.

So, how about beating the game without dying? Or without using energy tanks? How confident are you about defeating every boss using only the standard buster ... or without taking damage? Well, it looks like we'll be going for the WiiWare version of the game after all. We just can't deal with Capcom giving us a retro-wrapped gift with one hand and plucking Xbox 360 Achievements (or PSN Trophies?) out of our grasp with the other. Those meanies!

I want to know, why out of all the Mega Man games, are they doing number 9?

j.howlett @ Aug 13th 2008 2:54PM

because it comes after 8 maybe?

Because its the only megaman game in the series that's never been done

We have

Megaman 1-6 on the Nes
Megaman 7 on the SNES (US only)
Megaman 8 on the PSX and Saturn
Megaman & Bass on SNES (Japan only) then ported to GBA
Megaman & Bass 2 on WonderSwan
Megaman Power Battles 1 and 2 on Arcade

But there's no Megaman 9, so they are working on it, and keeping the NES like graphics/gameplay just for the nostalgia factor

Don't even get me started on mega man x games

Feh, those acheivments aren't hard. If you can't beat a Mega Man game without dying after a few times, or without an energy tank, you are not a Mega Man Master.

Hell, I can beat Mega Man 1 without even being hit sometimes.
