The songs are great, the robot masters look great, and I thought first it was a pure damn fake. Crap, I'll be definitely looking for MM9 (if I had a Wii connected to the internet) ! "It's like, wow, we're back in 1988"...

Some hardcore platforming, I'm totally up for it =] I tried to find the old thread to post this in, but oh well >.>

Anyway, I'll be getting the Xbox version as I like the controllers better...I think :P

Yea I kept meaning to put Mega Man 9 news in the Mega Man thread but couldn't be bothered to find it.

Dunno which version I'll be getting, since XBLA games seem to get released around the same time globally probably that, wouldn't mind getting it on Wii but NoE uselessness plus painful d-pad means I'll probably be better off with the XBLA version.

"Classic mega Man is back!" YAY! XD

Looks promising. And I'm glad they're going to release it on PSN. Or else now I was saying "You guys are lucky! Only on WiiWare and XBLA! :("
SEGA, you should learn from Capcom! Bring back the old days by making 16-bit games again! :P

To hell with SEGA Konami need to learn from Capcom, instead of that ugly 3D fighter Castlevania, we get a proper Castlevania V.

Sing it my brother, Amen!

But really, its the best way for a 2D game to be remade =3 sweet graphics, same gameplay, don't change a golden formula, look at mario kart XD still fun and it's hardly changed at all

These companies need to realise that they don't need to change the formula or even put in lots of nice graphics to make highly anticipated games.

Just give the masses what they want!

Hold up, slow down their Rayne. I wouldn't say the Mario Kart series has gotten worse. I would say it's gotten better. (Aside from Super Mario Kart and Double Dash).

This is off-topic, but okay :P

Mario Kart Wii added bikes and stunts, that didn't make the game more fun, just more annoying. If you want to play and have fun with friends there's always some bitch drifting and flying up half-pipes to gain .3 second boosts.

Mario Kart Ds was sucessful because they purposefully went back to its roots, what ruined it for me was the reliance on drifting.

Double Dash was okay, but having a second driver really didn't do anything to improve the gameplay.

The N64 version for me got it pretty much perfect, the GBA games were essentially SNES ports

it was just a way of showing that if something ain't broke, don't fix it =]

Edit: Oops..it double posted...but only half of my message? o_O I hate this net connection

Sprites flickering on and off because too much is happening on screen, Mega Man games tended to have quite abit of this.

I don't think I want this. I've always wanted to get into the Mega Man series, but I've never really liked the original series. Mega Man X was easier to get into, so I'm a bit more partial to that.

Can't even get into the more recent MM games for the GBA/DS. Bit odd, I know, but there you go.

Yea GBA had Zero and DS had ZX. ZX Advent by the way is awesome.

12-08-2008, 18:53
ZX is the one where you're not really playing as a Mega Man of any sort, isn't it?

I'd say the Mega Merge or whatever is equally as much as a Mega Man as the others in the spin offs.

Xbox 360 owners that may get MM9 on XBLA, you've got a lot of work to do to complete MM9's achievements.

http://inside.mygamercard.net/2008/08/12/achievements-for-mega-man-9-reward-the-hardcore/

Some of them are:

"Clear the game without dying."
"Defeat a Boss without getting damaged."
and "Defeat the 8 Bosses with the Mega Buster."

What do you think of this?

I'm off buying a Wii and a NES controller, I'll be right back. XD

Basically, the only console (IN MY OPINION) that's making everyone even more anxious for MM9 is definitely the Wii, since it adapts to all controllers and the NES one. :3

It's best for the Wii for only two reasons:

1- the 360 achievements are almost a pain in the (you know where I'm getting with this. XD)

2- The Wii version will be able to play with all controllers. Even a NES controller is compatible via a Gamecube adaptor. (That's the reason that I'm getting the Wii version. XD)

That's pricey...I mean, it's €20-€25 for a points card with 2000 points on it, right? Times that by five, that's €100. Throw a Wii on top of that and that's another €250? That's €350 in total...

>_< Why do games have to be so expensive?

Shadid
18-08-2008, 00:35

Keep your eyes peeled on the WiiWare, XBLA and the PSN. Probably next week MM9 will be out. So, go get some money (damn you, PSN! >_<) or some points, because I wanna hear your thoughts later.
EDIT: It is for the US only though. No European release yet. :(

Now that my Wii is mostly unusable I may have to get this on XBLA which is annoying since I have no idea what it's dated for on there.

And Rek, the 360 version's dated by the beginning of October. XD

EDIT: The European WiiWare and PS Store's already have Megaman 9.
