According to this site: http://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/ Rockman 9 might be a reality. This info was leaked by Someone who claims to be a Capcom employee. I find this Info questionable,though I Hope that the Rumors are true,because I really want a Rockman 9. I'm a big fan of the original series.

Oh, no, it's official. They confirmed it about two weeks past. ^-^

It's official, but that "screenshot" isn't. XD

Megaman 9 ... cool!

Megaman Legends 3 ... BETTER!

You know, it's honestly been years since I followed Megaman... really not since Megaman X 2 back on the Super NES have I enjoyed a Megaman/Rockman game. That being said, I'm interested to see exactly how Capcom plans to bring Megaman into the current generation.

Heh. You know, Megaman was the birth of me as a gamer and has years of delicious crusty nostalgia grown around it, but I think I actually agree with you.

SWEET! Old school Megaman is back! i've grown tired of these lame spin-offs! i want the real deal!!

Yeah but nothing will top this game intro.

I dunno. I think it can be done in 8-bit.

I just found out about the 8-bit thing here: http://gonintendo.com/?p=47632. How can capcom be so stupid. What's next? Rockman X9 in 16-bits? Though,I'm kinda glad it's gonna be for WiiWere,since I have a Wii.

PROTIP: WiiWare games have a size limit. Making the graphics shiny and new would take up lots of memory making the game shorter. Having 8-bit graphics allows them to make the game longer.

Also there is a stronger fondness in the target fan-base for the old games than the new ones.

Still,It would've been better if it was 16 or 32-bit.

Great news to hear. I haven't beaten the other Mega-man games yet. I'll keep a lookout for this one:D.

Not necessarily true... The regular Megaman series was in 16 and then 32 and that didn't improve the quality of those games. "WE MUST STOP DOCTA WIWY!" 7 was ok. I liked it well enough, but man... 8... I think a lot of people will associate the best games with the 8 bit period. Not saying 8's faults were to be placed on the graphics, but there is probably an association there in some people's minds. Ask me, though, the PSP remakes were great. They could have easily gone that route if they weren't doing wiiware.

dude I think that going 8-bit is such a cool idea. I haven't seen many people go back to retro style before, and what better series to do it with then Megaman?

The reason why this is being released as a WiiWare title is simple.

Simply put, despite the "graphics aren't everything!" crowd, all three companies have rules and standards about what kinds of games can be put on their systems. One of the rules is, if it isn't a compilation of older games, then you cannot use older style graphics. In other words, you couldn't make a brand new game and have Atari 2600 graphics and release it on a Wii disc. However, a collection of Activision's old 2600 games would be perfectly fine.

So with this in mind, the question is, why is Capcom so set on having these kinds of graphics? Why not make the graphics awesome and super and release it on the Wii or PS3? Well, Keiji Inafune, creator of Megaman, says:

the simple fun of a classic Mega Man game "doesn't fit into the grandiose and expansive world that the consumer gaming industry has become, and so you have to make games that match the current expectations." He said pushing for the creation of a Mega Man in the style of the original "would be quickly criticized for things like being simplistic, outdated, or too expensive", thus making it "too difficult" to develop such games in the "current climate".

From the August 2008 issue of Nintendo Power.

I dunno, it sounds like a pretty cool idea to me. It shows that Capcom cares at least somewhat about the fans. If I had me a Wii, I'd be all over this.

I still can't believe that after all of these years,we'll actually be getting a Female Robot Master!

So who wants to see a gameplay video? :O

THE MUSIC. I knew Capcom would not disappoint on the music.

Also, pricing information. The game will cost 1,000 Wii points. That's a lot of points! But remember this isn't a rerelease of an older game, this is a brand new game.

ALSO WHAT'S THIS? DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT? :O This is the rumor going around!

Looks fun. hopefully Capcom will take another chance like this with X9 and make it a 16 bit game for the Wiiware.

And yes 1,000 Wii points is alot,but hopefully it'll be well worth it.

In case no one has mentioned it yet, a new trailer was released today. Its also been confirmed for PSN and XBLA.

I am so psyched for this. Its going to be amazing.

The comments on that youtube video make me sad.

This had me salivating from day one. The original creators of the Blue Bomber together again to make a classic, and HARD Mega Man sequel....with 8-bit NES graphics?!?!

*tears up*

I <3 Capcom....now, would you kindly release both of those new Bionic Commando games soon and make me one satisfied fanboy? Well, at least until Tatsunoko VS Capcom releases stateside?
