Mega Man 9: Wait, what the fuck?
Storm Rider:
So, Capcom recently announced that Mega Man 9 is in development as a downloadable game. Nintendo Power had the story, so it's confirmed for Wii Ware at the very least, and rumored for the other two consoles' downladable services as well. Not only is this the first game in the original series since 1996, but the really crazy part is it also has 8-bit graphics (and presumably sound, although I'm not sure if that's been mentioned or not). So Capcom, a multimillion dollar video game publisher, is making a brand new 8-bit game. In 2008.
On the one hand, I kind of think it's cool that they're making this as an homage to the classic NES games in the series. On the other hand, on a certain level it's completely insane, and there's no real reason to make a game with 8-bit graphics except for nostalgia reason and the fact that it will cost them very little to make. Ultimately, if it's got solid level/boss design and they don't charge too much for it, which they shouldn't, because again 8-bit graphics are extremely cheap with modern technology.
It's also got a female robot master! How crazy can it get?
Kinda crappy magazine scans ahoy!

Considering how shitty the x series has gotten. i mean megaman hasnt reached sonic proportions (shudder) but it's seen better days IMO.

It was a complete and total surprise when i heard about it, but I'm very very happy with the announcement. As long as they don't include some of the impossibly hard level design they used back in the earlier Mega Man's it should be pretty awesome.
