This is actually really cool.

It'll also be on the PS3 and 360, I believe.

[Destor]

Awesome

[Destor]

Best. News. Ever.

[Xero]

Nice.

[U-Warrior]

I just ejaculated.

[weather vane]

I also just ejaculated but it had nothing to do with Mega Man.

It had to do with lasagna.

[OssMan]

Wow...incredible news

[Loose Cannon]

woah, sweet. I hope it's easy like the first 4. After that I had one hell of a time beating anything

[Sepholio]

This makes me happy as I have the originals of all the megaman series as well as the X series. Yea, total megaman nerd right here. ROCK MAN FTW. Any news on a potential release date?

[road doggy dogg]

NICE
crossrine

[Crazy Nick]

Looks great... too bad I don't have a next gen system though lol.

[Penner]

- There are doors marked Dr. L (Dr. Light) before each boss. This goes with Dr. Wily accusing Dr. Light of creating the evil robot masters
- Galaxy Man: use portals to travel through the level, enemies that split and multiply
- Plug Man: “disappearing block” puzzles
- Hornet Man: lots of bees
- Jewel Man: stand on swings and use momentum to make jumps
- Magma Man: lava, lava, lava
- Concrete Man: reminiscent of Guts Man
- Tornado Man: spinning platforms, mid-air leaps
- Splash Woman: Inafune designed this Robot Master, level features bubble puzzle reminiscent of Megan Man 5
- Dr. Light’s shop is included
- items to purchase: energy balancer, spike shoes, armor
- play as Mega Man without his helmet, if you want to
- Select screen and Menu screen feature music directly from Mega Man 2
- Select screen features options that are not allowed to be discussed until E3
- charged mega-buster and sliding not in the game, at this point. It is unclear if they will be in the final version.
- Rush Coil confirmed
- more to look forward to than the ‘regular game’. Menu screen holds other game options
I got that from: http://gonintendo.com/?p=48339

I am super excited for this!

[Loose Cannon]

fucking sweet. there's no other ROMS I've DL'ed more then Mega Man. How much do these WII Wares cost?

[Dorkchop]

It depends. Games have been as low as $5 (500 points) to as high as $15 (1500 points). The 1500 point game is coming out this Monday, but I don't know anything about it other than it's some sort of puzzle game that was going to have bongo support.

[Loose Cannon]

k, I may have to read about it because I have no clue what you just said there. lol. so you play games to get points and bongo suppots you?

[Mike the Metal Ed]

The Donkey Konga bongos? Awesome.

This shouldn't cost more than 500 points, really, seeing as it's basically a map pack for the NES version.

[Pegasus Crawford]

Oh snaps! First footage:

[Kalyx triaD]

This is actually built as an NES game, making it like... a new NES game. That's trippy.

[Pegasus Crawford]

Sexy Trailer.

Looks like it's coming to XBox Live and PSN after all!

[U-Warrior]

Well, thats yet another pair of pants headed to the laundry.

[Xero]

I seriously hope this brings about a surge of NES-style games and sequels.

And how epic would it be if they actually released a collector edition NES cart? I know it wouldn't happen (probably wouldn't even fit on an NES cart), but holy shit...

[OssMan]

actually the NES cart has a ton of free space on it, the whole top half is not in use and it was only built that way to fit the design of the NES. i'm sure they could do some crazy thing to add more memory. just saying.

[Savio]

when is this due out next week?

[ClockShot]

Game is finally dated for release next week. It's gonna be $10 and hit all the consoles. Wii and PS3 will get it the same week, 360 is gonna have to wait an extra week.

Wii - 9/22
PS3 - 9/25
360 - 10/1

[Dorkchop]

Protoman will be dowloadable for $200 points in early October.

Not exactly an actual cartridge, but close enough:

OMFG A PRESS KIT (http://www.capcom-unity.com/johndmoney/blog/2008/09/16/mega_man_9_retail_package)

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j68/DSavior808/vgames/mega_man_9_press_kits_back.jpg

We then started to think, well why not? Why don't we recreate an old NES package complete with a real NES cartridge? So, here it is. What do you think?

Unfortunately, we weren't able to put the full game on these cartridges (the licensing and legal issues were a headache and not worth the trouble), but I agree, it would've been cool. Instead, these carts contain a small CD with artwork, game information and screenshots.

Anyway, we're sending these bad boys out this week to our friends from the press. Don't worry, we're thinking about offering a very limited quantity (200) on the Capcom Store, probably with a PSN or XBLA game voucher.

[U-Warrior]

More pumped for this than I was for Rock Band 2 or Force Unleashed.

Ugh, broke down and bought it for WiiWare.

Maybe I'm too rusty at platformers, but every attempt at a stage yielded a game over for me. :( 1 hour with the game and I've only beaten Splash Woman.

[OssMan]

definitely going after Splashwo Man first, that junks dum. this games soposto take up the difficulty of where the NES ones left off, so that means it should be pretty freaking hard

[UmbrellaCorporation]

[U-Warrior]

[U-Warrior]

Got speed metal by accident. lol.

[OssMan]

I will be playing this on Wii because it is Mega Man and Mega Man is a Nintendo game and I don't need achievements to be in a game

[BigDaddyCool]

This game just got **********BDCA**********

That is right, a whole 10 star approval! :eek:

[U-Warrior]

I will be playing this on Wii because it is Mega Man and Mega Man is a Nintendo game and I don't need achievements to be in a game

Those challenges he listed ARE from the wii game.

360 and PS3 versions aren't even out yet.

[Savio]

This game is fuckin hard

[Sepholio]

OMG loving this right now. Totally freakin old school fun.

[OssMan]

This game rocks, but a lot of the levels are built in ways that, like... aren't the way that the original mega man games were built. It's just weird, and kind of hard to explain. I keep getting pissed off at Smashwo Man's level for this reason.

[Savio]

I'm stuck at wily right now. Splashwoman was easy

[OssMan]

Maybe I am retarded but that one part of the first Wily stage where there are all these horizontal orange bars flying all over the place is the most fucking riduculous thing I have ever seen in a Mega Man game and it makes me not even want to play because it's so retarded

[Xero]

LOL, that was one of the easier parts once you figure it out.

[Splaya]

So this game is amazing :love:

[.44 Magdalene]

I made it to Wily's Castle and I never made it past.

[Savio]

I made it to the wily egg dinosaur

[Sepholio]

I beat it. I dunno, after playing every Megaman game ever like 5000 times, I didnt find this one all that hard.

[Savio]

Jewel mans level was hard

[Mike the Metal Ed]

My lack of Mega Man experience really shows with this game. I need to practice more at it, the fact that my Wii is rarely plugged in these days doesn't help much though.

[OssMan]

Jew Man's level was hard because of one part ONE fucking part where there's a big ass swing and spikes around you

[.44 Magdalene]

Lol, Jew Man

[Pegasus Crawford]

I lost to Wily with him having 1 bar of energy left and never touched the game since. :(

[Savio]

Jew Man's level was hard because of one part ONE fucking part where there's a big ass swing and spikes around youyeah I hated that.
