Whoa...WHOA... I DID IT!!

Also now its obvious who the 3rd character will be...at least I think it is.

Spoiler

Why is there a diagnostics screen for Bass during the ending conversation with Wily? Bass has been around for awhile now, so this kind of seems strange.

Would be nice if W Zero turned up as a boss in MM 10. Classic Wily angry robot eyes and all (like in the Power Battle ending).

 

[nincompoop]

'Grats!

Now do it without taking damage.

 

[Teknoman]

:lol Is that even possible?

EDIT: lol at the Mega lecture.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

4 robots down. This game owns.

 

[jman2050]

I'd replay 9 again if I didn't already replay it 2 days ago.

Maybe I should replay one of the older games for kicks.

 

[dralla]

I thought up of a bunch of robots a long time ago, I remember I had some good ones..can't remember most of them. i thought Satellite Man was a good one. outer space level with screwed up gravity.

 

[Masked Man]

:O :O :O

Just wait until I come back from Japan in May, Capcom! I don't want to feel too far behind.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

I beg to differ, Rockman No Constancy holds its own against the best of the Mega Man series.

Rockman No Constancy is friggin' awesome!
Another good one is Mega Man Exile. Seems all the best hacks out there are for Mega Man 2.

In any case, can't wait for this!!!! :-D

 

[Echoes]

What I demand from 10:

- Shadow stages (a la MM3)
- Two fortresses

Really, with the perfection in level design that they had in 9, all I really want is more more more. More clever stages, more kick-ass fortresses (or a huge one, whatev), more original enemies. I wouldn't say "more characters" but they did it! Which is totally cool IMO. Easy difficulty is _really_ cool for people who suck and I appreciate it, but I don't think I'll even try it once. This is Mega, baby.

Oh, and more awesome music! Wily Stage 1 in 9 is my favorite Wily tune in the series. Easily butt-stomps MM2's.

EXCITED.

 

[BMX Bandit]

Good to see people enjoying/going back to MM9 after this announcement. Makes me want to pick it up again and do another play through.

 

[magicalsoundshower]

I would not be surprised at all if we did.

I really wouldn't.

Mega Man 7 had both Spring Man and Freeze Man and Magic Man was in Rockman & Forte/Mega Man & Bass although they did look a bit different in the games.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Whoa...WHOA... I DID IT!!

Now do it without taking damage.

Now to do it in only three minutes.

 

[Rlan]

:lol @ Black Man in the MM6 contest.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I want a poster of this.

Edit: Did they ever sell or give away posters for MM9's boxart?

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

:lol Is that even possible?

EDIT: lol at the Mega lecture.

Im sure it probably is....

Back in the day i played the original Mega Man so much that i could go all the way through and beat it without losing a life.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Aight, I'm up to Wily's castle now.

 

[cooljeanius]

Speaking of the newest Nintendo Power, how did people vote in the end-of-the-year voting?

 

[ZAK]

:lol Is that even possible?

EDIT: lol at the Mega lecture.

Only if you're hardcore. If you have the Mega-balls.

 

[Red Scarlet]

They should do a new contest for submitting bosses for 10.

 

[ZeoVGM]

They should do a new contest for submitting bosses for 10.

They should use that Power Man design, the one with electrical plugs for hands. I picture him jumping all around the room which is covered is electrical socket-like things, hanging from them by plugging into them, and attacking Mega Man from there. Each plug he hangs from could give him a different attack, so the player would need to remember what each one does.

 

[Hitlersaurus Christ]

Crossing my fingers that Black Man is among the remaining 7 robot masters.

 

[Cheesemeister]

It's probably too late in the development cycle for that, if they're apparently already localizing text.

I still don't get why folks start requesting features for a particular game mere months before release, when bug fixing is already in full-swing.

Yeah. The game is probably only a month or two away from release. We just have to wait until the remaining RMs are revealed.

I didn't read the article and the topic says 'announced', not 'a couple months away'. So there.

 

[lyre]

Scarlet: It's an 8bit style game reusing all the main components of an already existing game; it shouldn't take long to create 8 new robot masters, 12 to 15 levels to accompany them and the code to make it run. It should take a few months tops ... well, thinking up some pay for dlc will take another month to implement but its dev cycle shouldn't take too long unlike just about every other game being released nowadays.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Bah I'm stuck.

There's also that thing called 'level design'.

 

[Ermac]

Question - I want to buy MM9, can;t decide between Wii of PS3. Does the PS3 version look any better due to HDMI? Or are they the exact same.

 

[B.K.]

Proto Man is Lord Zedd?

if you're looking for improved "HD" graphics, I think you're missing the point. if you're looking for a reason to go with one version or the other, let it be controller preference or the amount of points you have on either account

I know, I was just wondering if the image is crisper or anything on the triple. Wii it is!

 

[lyre]

There's also that thing called 'level design'.

If Miyamoto can shit out 8 or 9 worlds of levels in quick succession for NSMBW after the surprising success of the guaranteed to succeed DS version (especially since the two games, like MM9/10, reuses so many assets), I'm sure the talents at Capcom can come up with at least 12, upwards to 15 levels of varying quality in much less time. They're cheap but not incompetent.

Proto Man is Lord Zedd?

oshit! I thought he looked familiar there! Gogo blue megaman!


Ermac: Graphics are gonna be the same, so it's really Wiimote/Componant vs PS3 controller/HDMI, and HDMI should give a crisper picture.

Having played all 3 versions the Wii one surprisingly looks the best. For some reason the HD counterparts have a bit of softness to the visuals were as the Wii version is quite sharp.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol, that old Nintendo Power contest.

That would be awesome if we saw a character from that!

i vote for Black Man. Voiced by Samuel L. Jackson.

 

[Golden Darkness]

• Yashichi returns to refill Life and Weapons energy

• between-level shop returns

• multiple modes

• in-game achievement-style challenges

• online ranking

• downloadable content

• no sliding or charge shots

• no female robot masters

[TreIII]

...ANOTHER March release?

Damn, that's going to be a crowded month.... :lol

 

[Teknoman]

Commando Man friends with Search Man and Grenade Man confirmed (Like Turbo Man and Quick Man).

 

[brandonh83]

MARCH 2010 WTF

 

[Hours Left]

It's okay March, you can stop now!

 

[jett]

Yeah I was really disappointed that MM9 on the PS3 didn't look razor sharp. Screen says it runs at 1080p but it might as well be some upscaled low-res crap. I wanted to see the pixels in all their glory. :|

 

[linkboy]

Wow, March is totally going to destroy my wallet. It is my birthday month, so that might soften the blow a bit.

Can't wait for this game.

If anything the Wii version looks better due to composite.

 

[Milabrega]

• downloadable content

... Damn it, not again.

 

[Teknoman]

9 looked pretty sharp to me via Component (Wii).

 

[Joei]

March? Really? I don't know how I'm going to play all the games I want next year. There are just too many games top-quality games I want to play and more keep being announced.

Yeah I remember playing Megaman 2 a few months after 1, and 3 a few months after 2, and 4..oh wait it took awhile between each one.

TIMING!

Seriously, the game probably didn't take much time to make. It's not a slight or anything.

 

[KevinCow]

Has Commando Man been posted?

 

[TheCardPlayer]

Design: Sheep Man > Commando Man
