Pretty cool. Though, in all honesty, I'd love to see them release some limited edition NES cartridges for the game complete with the artwork 'n all. That would be the greatest thing ever. :O

Be a punk rockaz and do it D.I.Y.

Capcom is including the option to make sprites flicker in a throw back to the NES being unable to show too many enemies on screen:

That's pretty funny, actually.

This game just keeps getting better.

Also, I played it at the San Diego Comic-Con and it was perfection! Just like the classics. The chiptunes were great and the gameplay felt like it was just another lost level from Mega Man 2. Furthermore, it was hilarious seeing younger kids playing it and bitching about how hard it was... not realizing that this is how most of the games back then were. And let's be honest, once you figure them out, they're not that hard.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Yea, I heard it kicked the balls off of people at E3. The disappearing blocks are probably going to make me whimper at least once

Once you get into that "Mega Man groove", you can power through the robot masters easily, but the final stages are always guaranteed to make you it's bitch. Curse that Dr. Wily!

I'm actually contemplating on buying that NES RetroPort to hook my NES controller up to my Wii. I have a few NES titles on here already, and I think it'd be just grand to play MM9 and the others with the original pad, just like God intended.

They should have the castle in this one include every robot master from 1-6. That would be awesome.

Re-responding because I just downloaded Cave Story on my PSP in beautiful widescreen. Not a commercial release, but still :<

I hate refighting eight bosses. I'm not refighting 54 bosses. I've got shit to do.

[bigtimecow]

in light of this, i've downloaded megaman 1-6 for the nes and x1-3 for the snes. ;D

I just got back from the big 2008 "i am 8-bit" art show and I picked up some extra Mega Man 9 posters while I was there (yes, the badass retro-style box art by Gerald de Jesus that we all fell in love with) and I will be giving away some of them in the I-Mockery blog sometime in the near future. Probably will be doing some kind of mini-contest on there for 'em, so keep your eyes peeled!

[Phoenix Gamma]

Fucking fantastic. I always wanted to go to that show, too. I'll have to make sure I win that contest for my poster collection.

Also, two sneak peeks courtesy of DToid; some bosses, and a snapshot of the store's goods. Roll seems to be playable, probably wielding her kitchen-cleaning, totally not sexist broomstick of justice from Powered Up.

Created to construct a dam, Concrete man can actually design a dam and supervise its entire construction. He has a stubborn personality and will tell off any lazy robots.

oh man this guy sounds pretty b/a

[Phoenix Gamma]

Psh. Gutsman could kick his ass.

Japanland has the best goodies. MM9 E-Tanks are on sale:

I wish the can was extra wide, like in the game. It'd probably have so much caffeine that it'd knock my balls off, but anything for the sake of authenticity, right?

[executioneer]

reading the comments on that article makes me officially hate destructoid

[Sacks]

Willie why would you read comments on the internet!?

[Fathom Zero]

Would would you ever read Destructoid comments? They're too... internet.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I usually make a point to never read any comments on any blog or youtube video. I'd go on a "poor comment" spree for every comment with "XD" or other misc. japanese smilies.

YOU'VE GOT A DISEASE

[Fathom Zero]

HE'S GOT A FEVER

[Krythor]

I like Mega Man but I still think Fathom's comments were funny and worth reading!

[Fathom Zero]

I'm gonna take that as sarcasm so you best check yourself lest you wreck yourself.

[Krythor]

It wasn't sarcasm.

[Mockery]

Ok, your chance to win one of the badass Mega Man 9 posters has arrived!

[darkvare]

[Phoenix Gamma]

[Phoenix Gamma]

Should be coming out today, meaning it should be uploaded sometime tonight :D

Meanwhile the game's slated for the 22nd in Japan, so hopefully we'll get it soon

EDIT: Downloaded the soundtrack. Shit's awesome. I've decided to download the japanese version of the game via homebrew channel. I'll buy the US version when it hits, but I really wanna try this game out.
