Rockman 9

Postby CAAOutkast » Wed Jun 25, 2008 5:07 am

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.

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.

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.

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

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Not necessarily true... The regular Megaman series was in 16 and then 32 and that didn't improve the quality of those games. :lol: "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.

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.

So who wants to see a gameplay video? :O

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro-9gX0nBUo

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.

*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? :grin:
