About time they did this shit.

7/2/2008 9:05:41 PM

7/2/2008 9:26:36 PM

7/2/2008 10:20:41 PM

damn you quick man

7/3/2008 7:55:21 AM

damn, thats awesome

7/3/2008 8:29:20 AM

this is going to be amazing

i hope it's as good as 2!

7/3/2008 9:03:47 AM

Viewtiful Joe looks a lot like Quick Man.

And I doubt it will be as good as Mega Man 2. Not to say it won't be a good game, it's just that Mega Man 2 has stood out as the best Mega Man game for a while so it is a big shadow to fill. I'm really hoping that it will have that awesome 8-bit music from the original Mega Man games too... that music was really good.

If they get it around 2, 3 and 4 I'll be a satisfied customer.

7/3/2008 12:42:37 PM

how much will it cost though

7/3/2008 12:44:19 PM

20XX dollar bucks.

7/3/2008 12:48:53 PM

I would've preferred a high-res 2-D Mega Man to this. They're trying to surpass Mega Man 2? Well good luck with that. They must realize a large percentage of gamers consider some classic games from the NES era basically unbeatable in terms of quality. No matter how catchy the tunes or cool the bosses, it'll never measure up.

Mega Man 2 is a piece of nostalgia for me. It's gameplay has been surpassed several times over in subsequent Mega Man games, even though those only made incremental changes. I doubt there's anything they can do to change things up that they didn't try with Mega Man 3-8.

All that aside, I'll pick this up on day one provided it's reasonably priced.

7/3/2008 12:49:25 PM

Not too much considering it's gonna be on XBLA and Wii Ware.

Wouldn't think anymore than 800 ms points.

"The original Super Famicom version of Rockman & Forte was released exclusively in Japan in 1998 and was one of the final third party titles for the console. The game is not considered a sequel to Mega Man 8, but was a "side game". During development, the game was labeled "ROCK8.5""

rofl. You know you are a geek when you laugh at shit like that. My gf was like "what is funny about that", haha what a n00b.

The Bosses (maybe a spoiler to some):

Quote :

" Galaxy Man: level consists of portals that fling Mega Man all around the level, maintaining his momentum with each fling (a lot like Portal, actually), plus enemies that divide into multiple copies of themselves. Plug Man: home to the required "disappearing block" puzzle Hornet Man: bees, lots of bees Jewel Man: there are swings here that you have to move with built-up momentum - we had to try it several times before we could make the jumps Magma Man: lava and plenty of one-hit-kill beams Concrete Man: the Guts Man of Mega Man 9 Tornado Man: scourge of the Midwest has one of the hardest levels with tons of mid-air leaps and spinning platforms Splash Woman: yes, a woman robot master. Level features a hovering bubble puzzle we saw in Mega Man 5. One of the masters designed by Inafune himself."

This is gonna be sweet!

7/16/2008 2:46:32 PM

those levels were probably created a long time ago but never made it into the game...

i wish they would do the same thing with mario or zelda

7/16/2008 2:53:23 PM

So I got bored and decided to write up a personal retrospect of each of the titles.


<blog>


Mega Man: Didn't get to play it until my BBSing days. By that time I found it to be way harder than any of the others. Using save state was the only way I could beat that game.

Mega Man 2: I remember paying for this with my allowance. Worth every penny. The music was fantastic. Anyone ever heard the minibosses cover?

Mega Man 3: Traded part 2 with someone who had this and beat it over the course of a month. Loved the ability to slide and thought Rush was a really cool addition. I still always destroy Hard Man first.

Mega Man 4: Got this one for xmas. This is my favorite Mega Man of the series. The intro still gets me fired up. I really hope this version of the Mega Buster is included in part 9.

Mega Man 5: Got this one for my birthday. Liked Gravity Man's stage and liked the fact that you could mute the "charging" of the buster if you got hit. Never really cared for Beat.

Mega Man 6: This one was sorta meh. By this time I had put down the NES and started playing the Genesis. Came back to it around the same time I came back to part 1.

Mega Man 7: I remember this taking way too long getting released. By the time it came out I was a Genesis fanboy and didn't get the opportunity to play this until after part 8.

Mega Man 8: One of the weakest titles of the series (part 6 being second.) Mega Man was voiced by a girl, Dr. Light sounded like Elmer Fudd, Aqua Man was a homo (had the rainbow intro to prove it) and Frost Man was a tard. I would still like to play the Sega Saturn version of this one day tho.


As I've said previously if they can bring out the best parts of 2, 3 and 4 I will have no complaints. Anyways, just my thoughts on the series. I'm really surprised Airbag hasn't dropped by to share his thoughts on this new release.

7/16/2008 9:54:14 PM

Music is totally awesome.

7/17/2008 11:12:58 AM

I thought 6 was on the easier side, but still very good.

7/17/2008 11:14:43 AM

IGN Preview:

7/17/2008 12:54:49 PM

New boxart?

7/20/2008 3:45:22 PM

That's an awesome cover.

7/20/2008 3:48:41 PM

he must be in some heavy shit if he needs a gun AND an arm cannon

7/21/2008 1:02:30 AM

8-BIT FIDELITY ENGINE

ULTRASOUND GRAPHICS SYNTHESIS

These things, I don't know what they are, but they sound completely necessary.

7/21/2008 3:03:57 AM

wait so this game is literally going to look like an old-school nintendo game? How much is this suppose to cost?

7/21/2008 3:15:24 AM

I swear to god if this game has a loading time, i will kill everyone

7/21/2008 7:39:39 AM

^hahahahahahhaha

7/22/2008 3:03:55 PM

aahaha

7/22/2008 3:09:43 PM

that would be cool if they made a mega man x9, and made it look like the SNES games

7/23/2008 4:50:47 AM

who is he gonna fight, some damn paralized old Dr Wily?

why can't he just blow that fuckers head off instead of settling for some Waynes World "we're not worthy" bullshit everytime??

7/23/2008 4:58:19 AM

Reminds me of


I always wondered why they gave him a handgun on the boxart.

7/23/2008 2:33:02 PM

That boxart always confused me because it looked like Dr. Light sicking Crash Man on Mega Man.

7/23/2008 2:47:10 PM

you idiots

7/25/2008 5:01:51 PM

This will more than likely sell enough to be worth it. It'll probably spawn a million sequels.

We had Mega Man on NES. Now Mega Man 9 on the Wii.

Will we see Mega Man 22? We can only hope.

7/25/2008 5:27:52 PM

blah. Mega Man 3d plz

7/25/2008 6:19:58 PM

A third installment of Legends would be tits but I doubt it'll ever happen.

[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 6:45 PM. Reason : and none of that Tron Bonne shit]

7/25/2008 6:44:33 PM

when does this come out?

i'm excited about it, based on the cheap price and the fact it can be downloaded

7/25/2008 7:59:45 PM

September from what they're saying.

8/5/2008 9:20:04 AM

I remember playing this game all the damn time - Mega Man 2 that is.

I will jump on this - you know - that's really what my Wii has turned into anyway. A NES with a wireless remote. I have spent more time playing Zelda, Mario and so on rather than any of the Wii games.

3 new videos just added including the opening cinematics.

8/12/2008 4:25:22 PM

someone find the leaked ROM plz!

9/7/2008 3:37:02 AM

what is this RoM you speak of?

9/8/2008 11:11:27 AM

I just figured someone had leaked a hacked ROM of it by now, but I guess I'm wrong

9/8/2008 11:33:06 AM

what's the official release date?
