**UPDATED** <br />
Click here for a 9min IGN Live Wire broadcast showing the 2 playable levels from E3. Interview with developer and more....
You're going to be talking about this for weeks aren't you!
Might be worth a download ;)
I'll get it if it's completely 2D polished.
Other than that I'll stick to emulation. Doesn't seem justified to me to pay for something so dated.

Uh it's new, it's just developed using 8-bit technology. Which is a great idea, i think!

Oh I will have a countdown timer in my sig when the official date is released. :snicker
The hey day of Mega Man was during the 8-bit era. To go back to it's roots like this is an awesome treat for us fans!

I love this idea as a long time mega man fan. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for it, but I am definitely getting this when it comes out.
Thanks for giving me credit, that was very cool of you :mrgreen:
Oh hell.
I shall probably download it, i like the idea of that!

I would probably be willing to pay $5 for it, seeing as how it's a reworked game instead of just the same old MM9 brought up to emulation or w/e on the new consoles. However, I woulnd't go farther than that. Now, if they reworked the early Megaman X games(X-X3)...that would be a different story, I would probably pay $10 for those :shock:

That is pretty sweet. I was playing some of the older ones the other night on a virtual nes website.
Think I might be getting it dephending on the price. I didn't see it in the article, but I might just be blind.
Always fun to have new psp games. I'm not in the custom firmware as of yet so no emulation on that beast for me.
I've updated the OP with the short but first gameplay vid of the game.
here it is again:
YouTube - Megaman 9 Gameplay [High Quality]
nice megaman and sonic were my favourite games back in the 8-16 bit times its like god blessed me im getting a sonic game that might be good and a new megaman game i hope they make the megaman music memorable like number 3 i can listen to that soundtrack all day
I'd rather Capcom release a high-definition version of the original Mega Man instead of a 'new' game altogether. 8-bit games have no place in todays world, however sad that may be.

it's not coming to PSN. It's Wii-ware exclusive. http://videogameplayerz.net/content/mega-man-9-wiiware-exclusive

I thought the PSN/XBLA "confirmation" was debunked.

Ok now I'm just confused. I figured Megaman 9 would be a step up from 7 and 8. This seems to be a return to NES style. This is seriously the way they've decided to take this?
Way to go evolution! They are now making 8 bits games for a PS3 GPU powered console! lolll We come full circle I expect to play Pong on the ps4 in a few years!

That's what I thought and it sucks, I think the idea of a new 8-bit game is incredible and I would happily part with my money for it.

It's multiplatform, and inded 8-bit.
Now here's something that would make the fans of the Blue Bomber happy: do you remember our previous report about Capcom (http://www.qj.net/tags/capcom/107)'s Mega Man 9 being a WiiWare exclusive? Well, here's another update concerning that tidbit: Mega Man's latest adventure does turn out to be a multiplatform affair after all.
The game will also be available through PlayStation Network (http://www.qj.net/tags/playstation-network/10982) and Xbox Live.
Here are some details on the upcoming Mega Man 9: aside from the robot masters that we have mentioned in a previous article (Magma Man, Concrete Man, Splash Woman, etc.), the game will also feature 50 new enemy robots.
To spice things up even more, Mega Man 9 will include an online leaderboard system that will tally and size up every player's performances against each other. Yes, we also agree that it's a sweet deal.
That's not the only bombshell that Capcom will be doling out for the Mega Man fans, however - the first two games in the series, Mega Man 1 and 2, will also be hitting the Wii's Virtual Console service in the near future. Awesome? Yes, it is indeed.
In the meantime, watch Mega Man's world debut trailer, featuring 8-bit cutscenes that seem to be taken from the opening sequence in the game. Play it, and let nostalgia drown you.

Wow, so a Wii exclusive is going multiplatform? Now, I've seen EVERYTHING!
Ah, and confirmation straight from a Capcom dev. that Mega Man 9 is indeed coming to the PSN!
Mega man on PSN would be nice!
Even if Capcom sucked lately with the ps3… i was planning to buy BC Rearmed anyway, it looks an old good classic

I will say this, I liked the song in the video so much I downloaded the MP3 (http://www.videogamescrapbook.com/mega_man_9/)and set it as my ringtone :mrgreen:.

This is a must have, I love the classic Mega Man games. Great news and great info, thanks man. ;)
I think this looks awesome, I love the mega man games on NES and I like how they are making it all 'retro' again.
I don't know whether to download it on wiiware or PSN. Have to see which version is better i guess =\

This will probably be about £6 to purchase on the UK PSN as most of the games released are.

I think I read somewhere on the internet that it'll be 1000 Wii points. That's like $10 last I knew.
I'm still not sure really. After finally playing some of Megaman 8, I really feel like they're phoning it in with this one. Almost seems like they found some unfinished NES code and assets and just decided to finish it off and call it Megaman 9. Nostalgia only seems to count for so much.
Updated the OP with hands on info and cover/box art! See the OP.

Meh! I hoped they were gonna do a modern looking version. There's no reason that the game-play couldn't be classic-style with modern graphics. I'll stick with BC:Rearmed.

They should do Sonic games like this, new 16 bit Sonic games would sell like hot s**t off a shovel.
