Completely new, original title just for Wii Ware. There is a lengthy preview and interview in this months Nintendo Power. The story is, when the folks at Capcom got to thinking about what they wanted to do on Wii Ware, they decided they wanted to do something FOR the fans, and between the popularity of the old MegaMan titles and the 8-bit retro t-shirts and merchandise that is proliferating, they decided to take a shot at doing a "brand new" NES game.
It IS an NES game. They went back to the original toolkits, pulled original NES artists, and a composer familiar with the NES soundsystem for the score, and set about writing a new NES game from the ground up just for this.
I'm equal parts excited about a new, true 8-bit MegaMan, but also disappointed that they didn't go with a true 8-bit sequel to Bionic Commando or Blaster Master.
I hope SqEnix is paying attention.
