Mega Man 9

[HBox]

Mega Man 9 was released tody on WiiWare, and later this week will be released on XBox Live and the PSN. They made it in NES style, complete with options to simulate the flickering that used to happen on the old NES MEga Man games. Looks awesome, I think i'll pick it up.

Oh my fucking god this game is hard.

[Bob Impact]

Wait, so you're paying full price for what amounts to an emulated game?

It's $10.

[patsopinion]

It's $10.

the creativity of the box alone is worth that

[Bob Impact]

It's $10.

Oh, well in that case... 10 bucks is a small price to pay for some hot Megaman action.

[Dirtbag]

I can't tell. Is that box real or just a photoshop? I didn't think there was a way to actually buy a physical copy of the game.

[Chigworthy]

Didn't they relase Megaman 10X for the game cube years ago? How are they back to 9?

I think the X series was a spinoff of the original with it's own set of numbers.

That was the press kit. I think they gave away a limited amount of them to fans too.

anyone with PS3 download it yet?


ive read on a lot of sites its not showing up un the ps store.

[jab]

the last mega man 'proper' game to come out was 8 - that was i think 10 years ago or so for the playstation. which makes the jump back to nes style graphics weird but thats what the kids like these days.

[KingModem]

Looks like I am about 8 months too late to this thread. It took me 8 days to beat it, playing about 14 hours a day.

I then went back and played the Mega Man 2 game for Nintendo, and beat it the first time through.

Mega Man 9 is hard.

[Doctor Z]

Already have the MegaMan Anniversary Collection, which is every MegaMan game up to MegaMan 8... and it's awesome.

but why do I remember MegaMan 9 being a Super Nintendo game? Am I crazy?

Isn't it odd that MegaMan 9 is an 8-bit NES game and MegaMan 8 is a 32-bit PlayStation game with full motion video cutscenes? How does this happen?

[Doctor Z]

My bad, I was thinking of MegaMan 7.

Another oddity. MegaMan 7 = Super Nintendo, MegaMan 8 = PlayStation, MegaMan 9 = NES

teh fux?

[KingModem]

I would agree in the sense of version order. But I think that the newer versions of mega man were not accepted very well by the gaming community, as it is an 8-bit game by nature.

I was absolutely giddy when I found out another 8-bit Mega Man was produced.

[Doctor Z]

Oddly enough, I'm of the opposite opinion. I can't even play the 8-bit versions.

but MM8 and all of the X series are some of my favorite games ever.
