Forums - Nintendo - First Footage of Mega Man 9

I think the developers might be getting a little ahead of themselves. Are we sure the Wii can handle this game?

Any word on whether it will be downloadable or on a disk? I could see sales being hurt if it's only downloadable, but I also see a huge waste of disk space if they go that route..

It's WiiWare, so is downloadable...

As for the other Q, if it's sarcasm, then good, but if it isn't, or if other people are wondering then i have to explain:

1. The controller: It's gonna be the Wiimote sideways using the D-Pad and the 1 and 2 like they're A and B...

2. Graphics and Music: They resemble how the original Megaman games looked and sounded on the FAMICOM (NES) hardware, but it's not made for being emulated on the Virtual Console, it's made for the Wii Hardware, so it's gonna look & feel like the NES but without the NES hardware limitations and with a 50MB limit (No NES Megaman game ever passed the 600 KB wall and the Super NES X and classic ones the most they took was 2 to 3 MB).

But of course, we have to wait until more info is revealed...



Oh my word.

!!:O:O!!

Must buy.



If the 8-bit cutscenes in the game are half as awesome as this one, then this'll be the greatest game ever.

Even if they're not, this is still awesome. I especially like the stage music.

Day 1 buy.

Btw who knows how much this will be? I think 1000 Wii Points, but that would be odd if the put Mega Man 1-6 on VC for like 500 points.

Classic Megaman, so awesome.
Can't wait, this and SBCG4AP are all I need for WiiWare now...



 

I own all of lastgen systems as of October 2008. (Finally got a Dreamcast)

I own every currentgen system except PS3.

Awesome. That intro is awesome.

What's funny is... it'll probably be my favorite Capcom Game in a while, and it was probably made on a few developers off time.

The music rules too... more games could afford to go back to the route of mini.

2-D and Midi music were chosen partly do to tech limitations but they still ruled.

Wonder what's up with all the old bots though?  Kinda a tease to have them in the trailer.



OMG, I just pissed my pants. I don't know how it sold me, but it did. It is so NES like. XD



I love hearing people complain about the graphics or how Capcom's being "lazy" for going retro. MM9, separating the gamers from the boys.

In celebration of this awesomeness, I'm replaying all the NES Mega Mans (Mega Men?).

Just play 2 twice instead!
