Protodude's Rockman Blog is claiming to have received inside information on the rumored Mega Man 9 from a Capcom beta tester. Keep in mind this is still a rumor at this point. New tidbits include:
- Mega Man 9 will feature a retro 8-bit art style, a homage to the earlier games.
- Two playable characters: Megaman and ProtoMan. Each has their own unique storylines.
- A popular belief is that MM9 will act as the 'link' to the events of the X Series. This is not so, The storyline DOES NOT lead into the X Series, rather it's a 'traditional' plot.
- Gameplay is reminiscent of Megaman 3-6.
- Online components: Leader boards and some unknown form of online play.
- MM9 will be on all major home consoles: Wii, X360 and PS3. X360 and PS3 users will be able to purchase the game from their respective download services. It's unknown how the Wii version will work, whether it will be a downloaded game or not.
"Back in 2008, Capcom revived the original Mega Man franchise with a brand new 8-bit installment which itself received a sequel shortly after. So, let's explore these 2 retro revivals and see which one is worthier of its bolts." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
I would’ve preferred if they stuck with the 16/32-bit aesthetics
If Mega Man 9 had to be 8-bit, then Mega Man 10 should’ve been twice that to separate it from its predecessor
Like any franchise, there are entries in the mainline Mega Man series have proved better than others, either because of how much they did (or didn't) alter the gameplay design philosophy that made it legendary in the industry. Today, we've got every mainline entry in the series ranked from worst to best.

We can forget about all that now though as the Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 3rd-9th July 2018 is now in place and it is bringing a whole new range of discounts to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 players. Want to check out the full list of games on sale?"
Replies(1)Several of these games have been on GWG, Slime Rancher and Super Mega Baseball 2. Others are on Gamepass. There is an Anime sale going on with up to 75% off. Fifa 18 at just 15quid, although I'll wait until it's in the EA Access Vault and get it for free.
Mega Man like mega man 64 that was one of the only games i enjoyed on my 64
This is excellent news. As a longtime fan of the Mega Man series however, Dark Sniper prefers the announcement of Mega Man X9. As the previous titles from X5 on foward, it will more than likely be exclusive to PLAYSTATION®3.
$niper
Screw Megaman 9 for the PS3, I want a Megaman Legends 2 remake for the PS3, or a Megaman Legends 3 for the PS3.
why everyone loves Megaman Legends so much... I played them and they were ok, but I prefer the classic and X series.
I'll admit that I really enjoyed Megaman X Command Mission, though. I wish they would make a sequal for that one.
I grew up with MegaMan and I would love to see a new one that is just the good old platforming action with 8 robotmasters and Rush and stuff. Try something new, but keep it basic.
I loved the MM and MMX series, never finished a single MMZ or ZX and the BattleNetwork and Starforce series can **** my ***** - I played all of them, so I don't just bash them for being different, I just plain didn't like them.
Damn, I'd pay the full price if that one was finally a decent game again and not some bastardization.
