Mega Man 9 - first footage

From GoNintendo...

"Huge thank you to Meophist for this one. He found some quick gameplay footage of the upcoming Mega Man 9 for WiiWare. The gameplay looks fantastic, the music sounds awesome, and the nostalgia is overwhelming. I cannot wait for this game…"

[sinncross]

i guess it looks ok

[Main_Street_Saint]

No it looks awesome. I've been waiting for a new 'old school' game for a while. Looks like I'm back to playing another Mega man.

[Tempist]

Um... then why not just stick yourself in nostalgia land and get off the internets and pay your NES.

I can understand that Megaman/Rocman needs a new direction and all, but I fail to see the reason to re-visit your childhood. It was precious then, don't sully it now. Sometimes going back is fine, but going forwards will always ultimately be the direction you have to go.

[Main_Street_Saint]

Well I haven't had an NES for years... Always wanted a top loading one but boy those babies are price gauge fodder. Well yeah I do agree that forward is always the way to go but sometimes we should go back now and then to really remember the younger days of gaming. Besides you know Capcom, they release an enhanced version for one of the other systems anyhow.

Games in the past are fun as much as they are now, it's nice to have some games that give the retro feel. I bet it'll be just as fun for people who are fans of the series. I guess you didn't like your past too much Tempist.

[phantomexe]

nice going enjoy this game.Hope we see more new retro style games like this on wiiware

[PS360WII]

Good stuff right there go Mega Man

[Main_Street_Saint]

Wow this might be the start of a classic gaming movement. Who knows might get the old school make-over again. Mario? Metroid? Kirby? Hmmmmmmmm I'm getting excited thinking of it.

[Old Snake]

WTF 8 bit graphics are you joking me? Come on Sure the Wii isn't a graphical power house but 8 bit is a little weak. I'd love a 2d megaman, but at least make it more colorful 32 bit graphics ftw

[incogneato]

looks lame but whatever

i just hope they make a cool 2D megaman game for ps3/360 that has awesome HD sprites

[BrotherNick]

That would be okay by my book, like SFII HD was a cool idea.

[HeavyMetalGear]

It's funny because you can tell the NES generation kids (aka the ones who are psyched for MM9) from those born after (aka the ones with awful taste).

[Hitster]

Why would anybody think this is a good idea. It's like saying hey I don't care that you can run and, expect 3d graphics from your Wii. We're going back to the graphics that the NES had. I could understand if this was freeware for the computer, or only cost me $2.50 but anymore and it's just in the WTF category.

[ChickeyCantor]

Why?
Because it takes us BACK.

I can ask the same, Why does everything have to be Shiny?
from what i understand Capcom is remaking most of their games with better gfx for live arcade or PSN network.

[ItsDubC]

I'm totally psyched for this. The old 8-bit Mega Man games are great and there's no reason to be pessimistic about this one. Unless of course you...

*sigh*

[ChickeyCantor]

YESSSSSSS!!!! the music is 100% megaman like.

The people who say "WTF 8-bit".......really... deal with it.

[Perverted]

I wanted 12 bit graphics =/ Ah well...Can't win 'em all.

[ChickeyCantor]

=o thats just 3 bits behind the Snes =o (Snes had 15 bit gfx some people dont realize that.The CPU was 16 bit and the audio processor was 8-bit......why im telling this? dunno)

[zPlayer]

there already is a megaman9 called megaman and bass. i don't know why there doing this

[ItsDubC]

Not the same.

[mf_fm]

megaman, here i come!

can't wait to own some Maverick (robot master)

however, Megaman 8 looks hella good when it was release back in the age of playstation/saturn

why Megaman 9 can't be more creative, i know many folks love old school, but isn't that a step back from Megaman 8?????

[Ri0tSquad]

I'm glad they didn't make it 3D, add new sounds, or anything like that but decided to keep it old school. I'd gladly buy this if it came to the PSN or XBL. I hope other developers follow with this.

[7h3ultim8p00]

The oldskool thing is overrated. Seriously. Megaman was great at the time, but this doesn't interest me at all.
