[Multiplatform] Mega Man 9 - Gnarly McNuggets

How ya doing, buddy?

Not that it's exactly cost-effective for Capcom to do so, but if the game's programming was compliant with the old NES's system constraints, I - and many others, I presume - would happily pay good money for a bona fide Mega Man 9 cartridge. Even if it were a limited run, I wouldn't think twice about doing everything within my power to own a hard copy. The game is already a labor of love, so I think it'd be the ultimate in fan service to make the game a tangible item.

A hardcore NES collector can dream, right?

September 22nd in North America!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I also wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in October, so.

Strange with the staggered release, though. I would have assumed it would have gotten out on the services in the same week, only all on their respective update days.

Waiting a week while all you folks blow a load in this thread is gonna suck the major dick though.

FELIPE NO

If it makes you feel any better, I'll probably be stuck waiting months for the PAL release.

WHAT ARE ALL THESE DRIED SPOTS ON THE WALL.

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

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but XBLA titles have never had a situation yet where they're released in only one region at a time, right? I know it's occured on the Wii and PS3, but if I recall correctly, it's not yet happened on Live.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe that means you'll get it at the same time on that service? If so, perhaps the other two won't be too long behind that?

I can bullshit, make stuff up, hope for you, right?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

IGN gave it a 3.0 in graphics. I refuse to buy it now, because I might be irreparably harmed.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll hope so hard something might burst!

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

Regarding the press kit, alot of the cartridges came from a game store in North Hollywood LA called Game Dude. My fiance and his co workers sold at least 800 super cheap NES cartridges to the press kit people, whom he believes were part of the I am 8bit gallery that had the Mega Man 9 artwork. So while I haven't played the Mega Man games, I thought that this was kinda cool that somehow his store played a part of making this neat, retro press kit.

Protoman playable via DLC

Quote:

For the most part he plays the same as Megs, though he’s able to slide and charge his blasts. Mega Man could perform those attacks in every game after Mega Man 2, but doesn’t in Mega Man 9. Make sense?

DLC comes the week of Oct. 6 for $1.99/200 Wii Points/160 XBLA Points

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm really debating on whether or not I want to get this for Wii now or wait for the 360 version next week. Honestly I'd rather have the Wii's D-pad since the 360's sucks, and I wasn't thrilled by the achievement list anyway. Since the DLC is on all systems, that's not really an issue either. I'd probably have to delete another channel or two to have enough memory on my Wii, though.

You should correct your pricing, since the article you linked states the DLC is 160 MS points (in other words, $2 across the board).

Tritoch has a point, the achievement list wasn't all that great, and I'd get to play the game a week and a half early if I bought it on Wii. Then again, how many blocks would the game + DLC take up on my Wii? And I for one prefer the 360 controller.

EDIT: 66 blocks for the game, 2 blocks for a save. Not bad at all. Surely the DLC won't be huge. Once character, and some sort of new level so far, I think.

FELIPE NO

hurr hurr why does this game have downloadable content? It should be in the game.

Most amazing jew boots

Aww fuck...Oh well. it did feel good actually buyin it.. Got any others, amigo ? =] What do you recommend from wii ware?

edit: btw. I heard something about protoman being in this game but uhh.. as downloadable content =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ask Mr. Owl.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just started playing this game and i'm having good fun with it. I'm trying to get to the woman boss, but i'm finding her level to be a pain in the ass.

I've already beating the universe boss or whatever his name was (bottom left) and that was really simple, his level had a great to go through and very different than any other old megaman I played.

Of all the megaman games, it reminds me of Megaman 4 the most (which was my favorite) you just can't charge or slide. Oh well. This is going to take me all day to complete compared to the older megamans which take me about an hour.

OH MY LEVEL

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

Dude....Yeah, this is becoming one of the hardest megamans I've ever played. I can't even get to the bosses, and when I sometimes actually get there, they completely kick my ass.

One hour into it..one boss killed, i've only got to one other boss.

SHIT!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, I cracked and bought it on Wii. Since it's got this list of Challenges I won't really miss the achievements, and it's quite a bit of fun. I've tried Galaxy, Plug, and Splash so far and managed to beat Splash Woman since she had such an easy pattern. Her level's a funky mix of Dive Man and Wave Man for the most part, but those water platforms at the end were a bit difficult.

I'm fine with the Special Stage and Proto Man DLC, but difficulty settings and Endless Attack really should've been in the game to begin with. I might pick up Endless Attack eventually, but I happen to already have 300 extra points for Proto Man and Special.

SHIT!

Just like me! I got to Concrete Man, but I was on my last life and only had like 5 bars of energy left. >_>

Maybe it's the rust in me, but I've got a "game over" with 3 lives on every stage so far.

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

I've beaten it and frankly, I'm not impressed in the slightest. It's a good move on Capcom's part and I hope it's successful in the long run. They just went too far back and I found myself feeling insulted as the game reached its closure. There are a lot of Inticreates touches and nods toward the later games, but I'm not a fan of Inticreates' level design here and I found myself going "I've seen this before" way more times than I would have liked.
