[Multiplatform] Mega Man 9 - Gnarly McNuggets

Judging by his expression, I think even Mega Man's shit his pants. Yes, it has a multi tag! IGN has a worthwhile update for once,

Quote:

Capcom has confirmed to IGN that Mega Man 1 and 2 will be coming to the Virtual Console soon. And second, Mega Man 9 will also release for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network respectively

Quote:

The title plays like a classic Mega Man effort with some notable additions. Of course, the character designs are again created by Keiji Inafune, who concocted the look of the franchise. Mega Man 9 features 50 new enemy and bosses to battle, according to Capcom. And it will also sport an online leaderboard ranking system where you'll be able to track your score and time against other gamers.

ALSO TRAILER.
Has XBLA and PSN logos at the end, also Roll having sex with Rush.


Please do. Tee hee!





Game of the forever.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember a time where a Mega Man sequel like this would have been called "same old shit."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Stale Mega Man platforming goodness is a breath of fresh air in this mini-game and FPS infested generation!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That or enough time has passed to make it "hip" again.

Yes, I'm bitter

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Wow, I read somewhere that Capcom made a mistake for it's E3 lineup and said that this was going to be for Wii only. Good to see that it's still multiplatform.

It's also good to see that they're bringing Rush, Roll, and Beat back. However, you have to wonder if Proto Man and Bass will be back as well.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, that's just it. That's what I heard too, that there was a statement saying it was WiiWare only and that the multiplatform bit was a mistake.

WAY TO CREATE CONFUSION GUYS, CHRIST.

Totally unsure of which to get it for if it goes that way, though. PSN maybe simply because it's got the best d-pad for the job? MOST LIKELY YES.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I am a bit surprised this isn't going 16 bit or 32 bit like the last few iterations. I guess they are trying to see if the 'oldies but goodies' will work. Well...sorta an oldie but goodie.

The question is...will this game EXPLAIN anything more. Such as...I dunno...formally making the links between this and a certain other Megaman game series...

FELIPE NO

What the hell does it have to explain? The premise is quite simple:

"Dr. Albert Wily is a dick and the penal system is apparently a joke. Wily has raided yet another Salvation Army Shoppe to create his robotic henchmen. To action, Megaman! For Dr. Wily is unable to learn from history's mistakes and his creations are still vulnerable to your peashooter! Also, each other! Go, dispatch Wily's army and lead us to the vague, unsatisfying end sequence that is the benchmark of the Capcom tradition!"

The other series are parallels, unconnected. You don't get confused by other series that exist in parallel worlds, do you? Do you refuse to play FFVIII because Meteor destroyed the planet in FFVII? Hello? Continuity? So why demand tenuous connections here?

Just enjoy the game. Don't seek deeper significance in the canon because it's not there.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Unless I have been horribly misinformed, the Megaman X series is after the original Megaman Series, the Megaman Zero series is after the Megaman X series, I think you get my point.

What I am pointing to is trying the regular and X series together (officially anyway) in explaining what all went down between the two.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I realize rules 1, 2, and 3 of "Crash types words on the internet", but don't be fucking pretentious about this shit when you obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about. Surprising, yes, I know... but not really, since I know you loathe just about everything not OG Mega Man.

A little useless knowledge for you, already basically explained by mortis in a way: The only games in the Mega Man series that ARE NOT CONNECTED are the Battle Network and Star Force games which, by stroke of luck, do take place in this parallel universe you've not so mysteriously concocted in your head along with the rules of Keiji Inafune and Capcom.

mortis, if you're looking for a concrete explanation as to what ties the Mega Man, X, Legends, Zero and ZX games together... you're not gonna find it. Inticreates did a great job of working with the time-line for X, Zero, and ZX together; however, the original Mega Man series remains a bit of a mystery as far as I know.

What is known, and on Wikipedia, is that Mega Man X was created by Dr. Thomas Light around 30 years after the original series.

You may or may not know about the little official Mega Man time line that was drawn up, I believe by Inafune. It goes Mega Man, Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man ZX, and then Mega Man Legends. There's a lot of speculation involving just which specific events lead into Mega Man X from the original Mega Man... but this shit is always vague, and in some documentation not in a video game and more related to supplementary bonus shit like Rockman Perfect Works.

You're probably not going to see this explanation in the game, but that's probably because Keiji Inafune doesn't want to ruin the tone of the Mega Man games. He's given enough information throughout these games to sort of piece it together though, that's about as good as you're gonna get.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Point of order: Like most normal people, I've only played the games (including lot of the non-OG games) which you just stated have no concrete links. It's only through some obscure commentary by the character's creator that any connections exist at all. Any normal person would see no connections because they don't exist within the games themselves. Obviously, I am a hypocrite and a fraud for not having the complete missives of Keiji Inafune sitting here on my desk for trivial reference.

So you basically wasted five paragraphs telling mortis the same thing I did: enjoy the game, don't search for the deeper connections because they won't be there. Congratulations, idiot. Who's all :words: :words: :words: now?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

you guys are arguing about a little robot boy who runs around in his underpants

Most amazing jew boots

Except, you know, the whole intro to X1. I'm saying there's nothing outlining the specific event when X is created, why, what happens, and all that jazz to end the original Mega Man series.

The "concrete link" is that Dr Light did indeed build X THIRTY YEARS before Mega Man X1 begins. The issues brought up by mortis is that he wants to know specifically what happens. So, yeah, you're still words and

Yes, Pang, I know we're talking about a Robot in his underwear. I'm on a fucking video game forum, OH MY GOD IT'S TERRIBLE.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But Rotor, like a normal person, he didn't PAY ATTENTION to the few existing implicit links in the games in question, therefore they don't exist.

Or something, I'm not even certain anymore. Clearly, the only solution is to read some expensive foreign resources on the matter in a langauge we don't understand. About a series where no one really gives a fuck about the story. Clearly.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are you guys seriously arguing with a guy because he thinks the plot to Megaman games doesn't fucking matter

here, let me lay it all out for you

Spoiler:

Turns out it's Dr. Wily again

that rascal

FELIPE NO

yes pang

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Ok just checking

this will go on your permanent record

How ya doing, buddy?

Mega Man Timeline - MMKB: The Mega Man Knowledge Base - a Wikia wiki
Mega Man Timeline - WikiKnowledge
User:Boco XLVII/Mega Man Timeline (draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
http://blue-bomber.jvmwriter.org/com...=0&#entry20256

Some of these contains non Megaman series (meaning jumps straight to X)
Rotorblade is pretty much right on the dot if you are willing to compare his timeline with the ones above.


Hell, the time line is so vague, I think I can pull one out of my ass right now.

Anyways, anyone know WHY we are going back to classic? (Because I always sucked at classics... got my ass raped 24/7. Only classics I could ever play was 2nd and 3rd ;_; )

There's nowhere I can't reach.
