Such outdated gameplay. But it's still pretty interesting.

You can play as Blues.

OMG PROTOMAN  cant F*CKING WAIT FOR THIS...i just hope its multiplatform.. cause if its just for the ps3 then... poop. cause i dun got one

[MaverickZr0]

Yeah, I was kinda hoping for Megaman 8 styled graphics : P

EDIT: I misread "but not the classic Famicom/NES one" (graphics)

[Zerok_116]

yay 2D

[Darkgargos]

This pretty much confirms my suspicions about the game, thank god for 2D!! Megaman belongs in 2D and should stay 2D. I posted info about the game before, but since it got deleted cause of the forum crash I will post again anyway..even if people know it already.


-Rockman 9 will feature a retro 8-bit art style, a homage to the earlier games.

-Two playable characters: Rockman and Blues (ProtoMan). Each has their own unique storylines.

- A popular belief is that RM9 will act as the 'link' to the events of the X Series. This is not so, The storyline DOES NOT lead into the X Series, rather it's a 'traditional' plot.

-Many new characters, new Robot Masters and maybe some new supporting characters.

-Gameplay is reminiscent of Rockman 3-6.

-Online components: Leader boards and some unknown form of online play

-RM9 will be on all major home consoles: Wii, X360 and PS3. X360 and PS3 users will be able to purchase the game from their respective download services. It's unknown how the Wii version will work, whether it will be a downloaded game or not.

Hell yea.! I always liked the Mega Man X series, but it doesn't compare to the original series IMO. I found the characters much cooler and straight forward in the regular series then the X one. Love that it's staying 2D and I hope it has graphics similar to MvC as I think that would be amazing.

What I would love to see from this game, but I doubt they'll do it, is have it play out the way Castlevania: Symphony of the Night did. Just have Mega Man start out with his regular little yellow bullets and travel through out Wily's Castle fighting bosses along the way, collecting items, weapons, different versions of Rush, health, maybe even bolts for Auto's body shop for new items, ect. Then finally fight Wily at the end. Hell, maybe even throw Zero in there since Wily did create him and touch down on the X series some.

2d or 3d I don't care. Graphics never make the game. I just hope the classic gameplay returns.

The best thing that has happened to the Megaman series so far was that remake for psp.

I think somebody at capcom is slapping people in the face and telling them to do sequels instead of spin-offs and rehashes, and I think it's about time.

  That brought a tear to my eye. because somewhere a bunch of japanese people are slapping each other and it's making me sad because I'm not there to see it.

You have got to be joking....that's wrong! That pisses me off...should have known. This whole Rockman 9 thing is a crock. When something is too good to be true..it mostly likely is. That's mean for someone to do that...I hate pranks. This was getting peoples hopes up too. D@mn that guy!!

K, so that pic was fake, but don't lose total hope yet. Mega Man 9 is registered on an Australian Government website, and more often than not, titles that have been kept under decent wraps have been discovered by people finding out about foreign website registerations. EX: Sonic Unleased, Castlevania and "Tales of". And Don't forget, This year at E3, Capcom has on the roster two untitled games they'll be showing off, so it is slightly possible we're getting a Mega Man 9.

I quote myself AND removed my previous post because of the following news.

IGN confirms Mega Man 9 for WiiWare
http://wii.ign.com/articles/884/884605p1.html?RSSwhen2008-06-26_105200&RSSid=884605

And Mega Man 9 first look by Mega Man Network
http://blue-bomber.jvmwriter.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Those scans are from next months Nintendo Power. Click the following for better scans.
http://www.rockmanpm.com/

The first paragraphs reads as the following:

"Mega Man is back. We don't mean Zero, or some net navi, or some dude with a biometal-we mean the original Mega Man that started it all. One look at these screenshots tells you almost all you need to know: Mega Man is back, and he'll be kickin' it old-school this fall in the appropriately titled Mega Man 9."

The article continues with the general information about the gameplay and new Robot Masters, and the story.

Dr. Wily is back, however he claims that the current robot rampage is not his doing, but claims the one responsible is Dr. Light. Naturally, Mega Man must defeat these enemies to uncover the truth and prove Dr. Light's innocence.

The article then holds an interview with the man himself, Kenji Infune via Q&A. He basically says he's been wanting to do sequels for all the series but with the current generation of platforms, trying to do so would not be cost effective. However, now with WiiWare, it enables companies to make quality games at a low cost. And with the Virtual Console doing very well for itself, the opportunity presented itself for him to make said sequel.

The games is being developed by Inti Creaties, the development team behind the Zero and ZX series.

That's all on the first page. The article is three pages long and goes on to inquire about the stage enviroments, music, playable characters, thought processes, etc, but I got tired of squinting.

Needless to say, I'm Stoked.

^Thanks for the news man.

Hopefully MM9 will make enough money for Inafune to realize his dream: Megaman Legends 3.

He's thought several times on making that game. The Dead Rising team even told him once that engine is ready for it, just say the word.

The only problem is, MML3 would be (according to him) the most expensive game Capcom would make, and it would take all of its resources to create. So basically, he can't make it because Capcom doesn't have enough money for him to do so.

exactly.

Yay! I wonder if it'll be as hard as Megaman Zero 2 since that game was pretty tough. (Since it's being made by inticreates)

Well, I'm glad we are actually getting a Megaman 9, but those NES graphics are so outdated now. Why can't they just give us a true MM9 that is at least is on par with MM8...I don't care how much it would cost..just do it! Looks like we are getting a real sequel to MM6 rather than MM8. I loved the old NES MM games and still do, but times have changed..they can do so much better than this. Again Capcom is being lazy...so they don't have to actually work hard and give us what we really want. Capcom has become one sad company. I think they should have made a real sweet MM9 for the DS..it would sell better for them on there. Well, at least we know what's up now...even though it's not what I hoped for. Personally it should just be a free download for PC....no one's gonna want to pay for a old NES game.

I find it funny you're now opposing MM9 when you say you're a 2D enthusiast.
