Megaman 9[56k warning i think]

[I'll Begin]

Personally, I prefer the classic Mega Man graphics over the current ones.

I personally think this is an absolutely brilliant move, especially with the 8-bit graphics. Yes it would look better with more modern graphics, but intentionally choosing not to shows some artistic direction that could lead to brilliance.

Personally, I loved how, for instance, Pokemon D/P used a 3D engine yet intentionally made it look like a tiled original GB game. While it makes it look less impressive, it also looked really unique compared to everything else that was out at the time. A new 8-bit styled game will certainly look different from most new titles, that's for sure.

These two quotes pretty much sum up my thoughts on Megaman 9

This is absolutely astounding, I cannot believe that Capcom actually is continuing the Classic series. It's a bit hard for me to take it in actually, I never would have thought that Inafune would pull something like this off. I guess having WiiWare titles is perfect for something like this, I really can't wait. And lol @ Splash Woman, she should be an interesting boss.

Actually Megaman 9 is really just a remake of Megaman 1(They said it in the E3 demo, go youtube). Its not a continuation, more like something for Capcom to stop receiving all those bloody hate mails.

That box art made me cry. Capcom shouldnt have used the same art format from the PC megaman games.

I hope this game's music is as kickass as it was for the first 3 games. Even though 4, 6 and 7 had some decent tunes (moreso with 7 than the other 2), I always thought the older ones had much better music.

Now if only I had internet, so I could actually play the damn game.

Personally, I liked the whole classic Megaman series' music, though I think 5 was probably my favorite. Then again, MM5 was also the easiest game out of them all. :P

As I've heard from trailers and an E3 Youtube video, the music is as good as it was 25 years ago; I think the trailer music for Tornado Man's stage speaks for itself. As for the game itself, it shouldn't be any worse than your average NES Megaman game, I'm sure.

I lol'd at the boxart. Capcom's obviously poking fun at themselves with MM1 and MM2's boxart.
