This is actually really cool.

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

Awesome

Best. News. Ever.

Nice.

I just ejaculated.

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

It had to do with lasagna.

Wow...incredible news

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

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?

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

I am super excited for this!

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

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.

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?

Oh snaps! First footage:

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

Sexy Trailer.

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

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

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...

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.

when is this due out next week?

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

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

Not exactly an actual cartridge, but close enough:

OMFG A PRESS KIT

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

Holy crap that's awesome! :love:

Out today! I will be getting it as soon as I get home for fall break :-\

Anyway, enjoy this

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.

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

FUCK YOU CONCRETE MAN

K, so they weren't fucking around when they made this. This game is hard. Was able to beat galaxy man tho.

Lovin it so far. Every level has a couple neat gimmicks, and the enemies are pretty cool too.

I doubt I'll put much effort into achieving even 1/3 of these. I'm sure most of the ones I complete will be the really easy ones like defeat 1000 enemies.

Got speed metal by accident. lol.

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
