Mega Man 9 Confirmed: First Details Revealed

Tons of details from the new Nintendo Power about the upcoming WiiWare title, Mega Man 9 from Capcom.

"from which the popularity of retrogaming services such as the Virtual Console lead to the group to decide to make a new "NES" game."

Awesome just plain awesome ^^ 8-bit graphics, 8-bit sound, and 8-bit CS. This will just be to cool

[lodossrage]

I have this game as a snes rom.

The only new cool thing is that you can use either megaman or bass.

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

That's Mega Man & Bass, not Mega Man 9.

[floatingworld]

Yeah..you're wrong. This game is brand new.

[Intrepid]

Cool. WiiWare (and the Wii as a whole) get more and more love everyday.

[cseru1]

Gyrostarr and My Life As A King are great!
I haven't played the rest =P
I wonder if this will be a huge game? it might need a lot of blocks

[Intrepid]

Get Lost Winds. It's awesome. I'm really looking forward to World of Goo and Eternity's Child.

[DiabloRising]

Is this on XBL and PSN as well?

[Intrepid]

It doesn't say but I doubt it. There haven't been any multiplatform downloadable games, right?

[PS360WII]

Well there will be one eventually. Bionic Commando Rearmed will be for PSN and XBLA which is also by Capcom so it is possible for this one to go there as well. With it being 8-bit and all I'm not so sure but I wouldn't rule it out.

[Intrepid]

Oh ok. Thanks.

Isn't there a weird conversion between the XBL, PSN, and WiiWare currencies? Would they be priced the same?

[zslash]

The OFLC ratings listing that popped up earlier for MM9 listed the game as multi-platform.

[phantomexe]

Wiiware like the rebrith of 2D games and i love it or 2.5D games lol.Megaman back on the system it all started from.I know i'm a ass but i hope it never makes its way to xbox live or psn.I do own a ps3 but really wiiware is wear it at.

[ThatArtGuy]

FINALLY something to buy on WiiWare!

[Philip J Fry]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[Voiceofreason]

yeah finally.. something to buy on Wii ware. Of course the only way a person could honestly say that is if they never even looked at Wiiware.

[ItsDubC]

OMG yes! I'm wondering why an announcement of this magnitude wasn't saved for E3.

[phantomexe]

Nintendo power mag i got says wii only.You never know tho it could end up on the others.Ps360wii guy do you post on gamepro much?There a guy over there that post under that handle and he one of the few people that make any sense.

[PS360WII]

Well that's not me I only come here to N4G, but thank you for the complement :)

[Voiceofreason]

Yeah its easy to notice anyone talking sense at GP. its 90% Sony fanboys with an IQ to rival a rock.

[Lord_Ash]

I hope this is also released on PSN and Xbox Live too, I would buy it in a heart beat, even better if they release it for the PSN and be compatible with the PSP, that would rock.

[Uncommon Calibur]

that would be awesome. as a 360 owner, even I think playing this on a psp would be awesome!

[Drakol]

to buy a Wii... With this and all those PS3 and 360 games coming out... SLOW DOWN!! lol

Can't wait for MM9. Been waiting a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

[BrotherNick]

Hooray for retro.

[cseru1]

But I was really hoping that XBL and PSN would get it too! I only own a wii but my uncle who only owns a 360 would've really enjoyed this!

[KrisXX]

There is no Commando 3, Bionic Commando, 1942 and SSF2THDR on the Wii. I bet Capcom figures since XBLA and PSN have those 4, why not give Nintendo something just the Wii has to make up for it. Makes sense?

And I don't think Nintendo will approve any games that are going to show up on XBLA or PSN, they want WiiWare to actually try and mean something over the other 2.

[phantomexe]

voiceofreason i would agree. i've seen your handle there as well if the name toneman pops up on ng4 that make 3 today.I started to ask you and ps360wii before if you guys ever posted there.Why i remember u tonemen and ps360wii i don't know part of that useless knowledge.If and when i post there its staticexe.
