Mega Man 9 dated for North America

And it's soon. :P September 22nd for WiiWare (Monday!) 25th for the PSN, and October 1st for Xbox 360. I'm so glad I set some Wii points aside for it. :P It's going to be great.
Also, at least one bit of DLC is confirmed. Protoman will release in October for $2. He'll be able to charge his shots and slide (which Mega Man can't in this game) as well as block bullets with his shield.
I'm intrigued. I've bought only one piece of WiiWare. Maybe that'll change.
Wow, I really stopped keeping tabs on this. I didn't know it was coming out so soon, or for the PSN, or that you wouldn't be able to charge shots.
Is this going to be upscaled in widescreen for PS3/360?
Thats really shameful for Capcom to release DLC so soon after the initial release. They could easily put it in the initial release but decided it was a good way to get some extra cash from you. Developers have taken DLC too far in my opinion.
I don't think it will be. According to Capcom, this is for all intents and purposes a new game for the NES. Graphically, technically, musically and all that. Though the DLC thing kind of conflicts that idea.Originally Posted by Bolivar
Nostalgia is all well and good until it starts cutting into profits. :P
Yeah, DLC sucks because developers do it completely wrong. It's not like Rock Band or Guitar Hero where there are like 80 songs in the game and they release more every week. Developers like Capcom and Namco develop DLC while they're developing the game and just hold onto it until they want more money, sometimes even going so far as to put the DLC right there on the disc and making you pay to unlock it.
But I will probably end up buying Protoman anyway. My first ever piece of DLC.
Protoman is a pimp.
this is great because they've been releasing Megaman on the Virtual console, most recently Megaman 2... I was almost expecting them to release all of them and then Megaman 9, but this is much better!

As of, like, two minutes ago, Mega Man 9 is up on WiiWare.
Downloading now. <3
So how much is Mega Man 9? I'm planning to buy it this Thursday with Wipeout HD on the PSN. I really wanna stay under £15 so I still have an even bank balance.
And is the game any good. I've been through the first three Mega Man titles for the NES but didn't go any further. I personally disliked the X series, dunno why. But the first three, especially the first two, are great fun. How does Mega Man 9 compare to those?
Haven't played it myself yet, but from everything I've read about it (and that's a lot) it is very much like the first NES games, especially Mega Man 2. If you like them there's a very high chance you'll like Mega Man 9 as well. Also, I think it will cost less than £15, around £8 or £10 maybe.
ah yes... megaman 9. the annoying difficulty that made me hate megaman 2 returns. along with the dated graphics (WHY CAPCOM!?).
megaman 8 was great. i find this hardly appealing.
maybe it comes with a bag of mushrooms to make the graphics look wild and amazing?
JUMP, JUMP. SLIDE SLIDE.
Trolling aside MM8 was far better than nine. for the above reasons.
Have you guys even played Mega Man 9? You shouldn't judge it before you tried it.
I myself prefer the NES-style Mega Man's over Mega Man 7 or Mega Man 8, both of which I liked too, btw. So I'm pretty sure I will enjoy Mega Man 9 and its graphics <3
was... is going to be, probably.JUMP, JUMP. SLIDE SLIDE.
Trolling aside MM8 was far better than nine. for the above reasons.
detailed sprites, another solid reason. it was a little TOO easy, but what game today isn't?
